A joint article I wrote with Brock Poulsen for Goozernation.

Remnant Knight Closed Beta Review | Goozernation
MMOs, for the most part, are all the same. They've got their schtick that they stick to: talk to NPC 'A' who sends you on a fetch quest for Item 'X', which is either near or being held by monster 'Z'. There's a story in there somewhere, something about the world being in danger of being overrun by this evil or that evil and you need to find a way to stop it. Character classes include rogues, knights, mages, etc. and if you can't figure out where to go then you haven't been reading what the NPCs are telling you. GameSamba hopes to shake things up.

Ever After
Fairy tales end where
Fairy tales begin where
People, places, and things
Get the picture
In night visions
Reminisce reality
With no Laws or Limits, the
Natural world drained of the
Natural man
Serpents, snakes, and
Thunder lizards
Dragons in the
Garden of Eden
Dust eaters from this day
Forth
Of July celebrated with
Fire swords and
Cherubim, Independence
Day was the end
Paradise Lost
Wicked ways summon
Waterways from Heaven
Angel tears
Drown moved mountains
Snowtops caked in
Ivory bones and
Soap
Wash the world clean

Butterfly flutters keep you afloat
Or they were supposed to
But I can't see your wings waving
Hello to me
Or even goodbye
Where's your heart?
I keep mine on my wrist
So I don't lose track of where it is
Or where it's going
Where's your heartbeat?
I think mine stopped
When I saw a picture of you
Where's your heart?
I thought it would light up the screen
And my face
Where's your heartbeat?
Little hummingbird drummer
Beat beat beating away
Men are meant to
Protect
A man doesn't sob
Uncontrollably
Into his open palms
Where's your heart?
You took a piece of mine
I'm not a man
Just your daddy
Or they were supposed to
But I can't see your wings waving
Hello to me

Wrecked
Virtue stolen by degrees
And inches of skin
It's getting awfully hot in this room
His sin soaking through the
Shower curtain wrapped around
Her neck
Don't ever tell
I'd slit a throat
To save a life
At the end of hell
His bloodless body
Slips from my grip
Nobody will ever tell
Claustrophobic tendencies
In an empty room
Banging down the door
At the end of the hall
Meet me in the bathroom
Suspicious glares from the
Exit signs
Escape won't be easy
But it never is
Nobody said a thing
About this to me
We all know
What happened was wrong
We're all here
To help you stand strong
And inches of skin
It's getting awfully hot in this room
His sin soaking through the
Shower curtain wrapped around
Her neck
Don't ever tell
I'd slit a throat
To save a life
At the end of hell
His bloodless body
Slips from my grip
Nobody will ever tell
Claustrophobic tendencies
In an empty room
Banging down the door
At the end of the hall
Meet me in the bathroom
Suspicious glares from the
Exit signs
Escape won't be easy
But it never is
Nobody said a thing
About this to me
We all know
What happened was wrong
We're all here
To help you stand strong
Gluttony
Full to bursting
I can't quench my thirst
For anything
Our addictions consume us
Indulgence gone too far
Moderation escapes me
Surrendering to sin
Enough is enough
I'm full to bursting
But I can't quench my thirst
You'll be the last thing I see
Before I lose myself
Sightless
I've lost the sun
Stuck face down
In my own filth
I'll never tame this beast
Enough is enough
I can't quench my thirst

Lust (And Keates)
Lovers need not tell their sorrows
Pale were the sweet lips I saw
Pale were the lips I kissed
And fair the form I floated with
Round about this storm
We let our appetites
Compromise our reason
We whet our appetites
With the taste of skin
But I want what I want
And I'm gonna get it
Even if Arthur kills me
I'm gonna kiss Guinevere
Pale were the sweet lips I saw
Pale were the lips I kissed
And fair the form I floated with
Round about this storm
We let our appetites
Compromise our reason
We whet our appetites
With the taste of skin
But I want what I want
And I'm gonna get it
Even if Arthur kills me
I'm gonna kiss Guinevere
Limbo
No faith in fields of green
Our works mean nothing
Redemption
Unattainable
Our lives in limbo
Though we've done no wrong
Turned from Heaven
We now search for God
Without baptism
That portal of faith
That we embrace
We lack hope
For anything better than this
Our works mean nothing
Redemption
Unattainable
Our lives in limbo
Though we've done no wrong
Turned from Heaven
We now search for God
Without baptism
That portal of faith
That we embrace
We lack hope
For anything better than this
The Descent
Shards of shattered glass scattered around
Bent and broken limbs
Mixed with missing teeth
And bits of bloody bones break the skin
Of our bodies
Flung far from the twisted metal frame
Wrapped around the telephone pole
A COLLISION
At ninety miles per hour
On the back roads
And I'm going straight to Hell, oh well
Oh well
I'll meet you there
Bent and broken limbs
Mixed with missing teeth
And bits of bloody bones break the skin
Of our bodies
Flung far from the twisted metal frame
Wrapped around the telephone pole
A COLLISION
At ninety miles per hour
On the back roads
And I'm going straight to Hell, oh well
Oh well
I'll meet you there
Gaming On The Cheap - PS+ | GoozerNation
My gift to my wife for Valentine's Day 2010 was a PS3 and, being relatively broke, we've relied heavily on Gamefly and Goozex to get the games we want to play. When Sony announced the Playstation Plus service that offered free games (among other things) for just $50 dollars a year, we were sold. Which brings us to the point of this article: Gaming On The Cheap (or in this case free).

Rock is Dead... | GoozerNation
I write video game articles for a site called GoozerNation. I will be posting them here as they get published. Check them out.
Until last week I was under the impression that the people saying the rhythm based music genre was dead were crazy. Of course, until last week I had only owned one rhythm based music game: the original Rock Band.

Sticky Bones
Hold your horses
At gun point
Watch your mouth
Or I swear I'll seal it shut
With the glue from their bones
You've gone and
I haven't felt this right
Since the day I buried you
Six feet under the scavengers
[The hunt is on]
You looked so good
Dressed in... death
You wore it well
Like a suit of spades
Digging up your insides
I tried to hold on too long
Vomit bleeding on the sidewalk
I've seen this before
Bad dreams and sad eyes
(Sorry thoughts and a slanted smile)
It's a broken heart
[I'm holding it hostage
A prisoner of war]
And this
This is a stick up
Hold em up high
This
This is a hold up
Stick em up high
I thought I was sad to see you go
I was wrong
With a bang bang
And a bang bang
Bang bang
I'm out
At gun point
Watch your mouth
Or I swear I'll seal it shut
With the glue from their bones
You've gone and
I haven't felt this right
Since the day I buried you
Six feet under the scavengers
[The hunt is on]
You looked so good
Dressed in... death
You wore it well
Like a suit of spades
Digging up your insides
I tried to hold on too long
Vomit bleeding on the sidewalk
I've seen this before
Bad dreams and sad eyes
(Sorry thoughts and a slanted smile)
It's a broken heart
[I'm holding it hostage
A prisoner of war]
And this
This is a stick up
Hold em up high
This
This is a hold up
Stick em up high
I thought I was sad to see you go
I was wrong
With a bang bang
And a bang bang
Bang bang
I'm out
