About Me

Yo. I just graduated from Syracuse University, with a major in Television/Film at the Newhouse School.

I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.

I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.

I have epic hair.

I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.

I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.

8-bit ties are here to enrage your co-workers Bob Muir | 7:46 PM on 10.05.2007 5 comments

Just a reminder. You might remember an April Fool's Day joke that was actually a pretty good idea: the 8-bit tie. Well, ThinkGeek heard your cries and made it a real product, available in their store. Now that you can buy one of these marvelous clip-on ties...will you? I'm certain I'll be asking for one of these for Christmas, but if I had the $19.99, I'd definitely spend it on this. I know I'm going to be yelled at by my family for wearing it to dressy occasions, but that's a small price to pay for being this geek chic. On a completely unrelated note, I know most of you didn't read my exercise in film-game analysis/intellectual jerking-off. Seeing as I wasted an hour of my life writing it, I'd much appreciate your thoughts on...my thoughts. Attached photos:
