Infrequently I’ll grab something off my Time Machine. But restoring stuff from time machine can sometimes fail. For example if you are restoring a file from another computer. I then have to resort to copying things over from the Time Machine hard drive, which causes weird permissions issue. And even if you change the user… Continue reading Fixing Time Machine Files

Fixing Cmd-tab for Full Screen in Hearthstone on Mac
One of the more annoying things about Hearthstone on Mac is Blizzard’s decision/oversight to not allow cmd-tab to work in full-screen mode. Considering its written in Unity, and I’m a Unity game dev I knew exactly what was going on: their ‘Mac Full Screen Mode’ setting was not set to ‘Full Screen Window With Menu… Continue reading Fixing Cmd-tab for Full Screen in Hearthstone on Mac
Unity Tips: Running from the Command Line
Running Unity from the command line has a few benefits. And its easy: UNITY_VERSION=4.6.7p4 BRANCH=trunk /Applications/Unity$UNITY_VERSION/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -projectPath /Users/chris/Projects/MyProject/$BRANCH/unity_project Open multiple projects! You can specify a Unity version (I usually immediately rename Unity to Unity$VERSION due to needing multiple versions of Unity installed). You can open up multiple branches of a project at the same time… Continue reading Unity Tips: Running from the Command Line
The Knife Juggalo
Unbelievably, Google image search failed me when I searched for the Knife Juggalo. How could this mashup not exist? So I had to make this: Enjoy.
My Favorite Game Soundtracks
Hey do you like music? I got some records back at my place. You want to come by and check them out? You do? THIS NEVER HAPPENS WITH VIDEO GAME MUSIC.

Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Strava
So far the Best Most Awesome has been games and movies. Because what else is there in life, right?! As I’ve already mentioned, friends are for people who don’t own video games.

Top Best Most Awesome 2014: The Lego Movie
Christopher Nolan’s doesn’t write movies. He writes the ‘beginnings’ of movies. All that stuff that happens at the end? Pft, DETAILS. Because of this, I’ve been sorely wishing for a quality Batman movie. Who would’ve guessed that 2014 would have the BEST Batman movie…EVER? Yes, the Lego Movie, a toy-driven franchise, could have easily turned… Continue reading Top Best Most Awesome 2014: The Lego Movie
The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth
My ‘Top Most Awesome’ series is not in any order, mainly because I don’t know if there is one. BUT one thing stands out for me at the top of my list: Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth. The original BOI was a truly fantastic game with one major flaw: it barely worked. I would get to… Continue reading The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth
The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Red Letter Media
Some people might say ‘what the fuck is wrong with movies nowadays?’. This is the wrong question. I would prefer to ask ‘what the fuck is wrong with movieGOERS nowadays?’ Why do people invest nine god-damn hours into the Hobbit? Why do people think Inception or Prometheus are good movies? Why do people allow JJ Abrams, Chris… Continue reading The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Red Letter Media
The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Hearthstone
Oh btw, have you heard of a game called Hearthstone? What? That’s not from 2014? WHATEVS, its my post. And while the game may have been around since March 2013, it is still an impressive force in games. Not only did they release the Naxxramus single player campaign they also released an entire expansion before… Continue reading The Top Best Most Awesome of 2014: Hearthstone
