Space Invaders was one of the first video games I played growing up. If you've never played it, it was a super basic alien invasion game. A bunch of pixelated aliens (about 55 of them) march across and down the screen shooting lasers at your little square battleship. If they destroyed your battleship, or made … Continue reading Space Invaders BFG’s

Enter the Matrix BFG’s
The other day I decided to do something really different at work. After listening to another podcast about why I am dying at slow death every day from sitting too much, I stood up, and walked away from my desk. It wasn't for very long, of course, but enough to actually make a journey to … Continue reading Enter the Matrix BFG’s
Playing in the Sandbox BFG’s
One of my first memories was when I 5 years old. My mom gave me and my younger brother some Superman and Batman pajamas. We were so excited about our PJ's that we decided to start fighting crime right away. This was back in the late 70's, where parents let their kids roam freely, but … Continue reading Playing in the Sandbox BFG’s
Rewiring my Brain BFG’s
In my favorite series of all time, Video Game High School, there is an episode where Brian has to practice disarming a bomb for his upcoming video game match. He had always been exceptional at disarming bombs, but this particular week, he was distracted and disarmed by a girl he liked, so he lost his … Continue reading Rewiring my Brain BFG’s
The Simulation Bitter Friday Giftures
You know the movie Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds is coming out today right? Since Ryan wasn't able to sponsor this blog post because of his ties to Mint Mobile, I'm going to sponsor it myself. Unfortunately, my bank account is being drained by these three people who are squatting in my house (they keep … Continue reading The Simulation Bitter Friday Giftures
Best Time of the Year Bitter Friday Giftures
This week is my favorite of the year. Many people love December and all its holidays. Others love Thanksgiving and the chance to eat lots of food, shop and be with family. Others love Valentine's Day (just kidding, no one loves Valentine's Day, ironically). Some love the summertime for sun, sand, good weather and … Continue reading Best Time of the Year Bitter Friday Giftures
Freezing Bitterness
Last night I was a little miffed. This is my favorite time of year. Not because of the warmer, longer days, or because there are more activities going on outside. I mean, we have a freaking mosquito infestation right outside our door, so the minute we leave our house, we have to sprint outside to … Continue reading Freezing Bitterness
Virtual Crap
I remember it so vividly. Not long ago, maybe a decade ago, video games started this thing called DLC(DownLoadable Content). It was a new idea that video game makers came up with to not only sell you the game, but if you so desired you could buy extra things to either customize or lengthen the … Continue reading Virtual Crap
Real Bitter Customization
For some reason there has always been this weird debate between people's rival products. There is the XBox vs. Playstation vs. Nintendo thing, there is the whole Marvel vs. DC thing and this Apple vs. Samsung debate. I used to be the mad loyalist to products until the day that I realized they don't care … Continue reading Real Bitter Customization
Glitches
One of my favorite movies is Wreck-It Ralph. The reason why I love it is because it is essentially my life story. Not because I'm not the bad guy in a virtual world that is always around happy people that don't appreciate him. Actually, maybe I am a bad guy in a virtual world that … Continue reading Glitches
Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Video Games vs. Work
Just like in the video games we play, there is a constant battle of my time between playing video games and doing some sort of work. When crossing the battlefield of time wasters, who will be King of the Hill? The Battle of the Bad Back: My lower back is constantly hurting me. But what … Continue reading Bitter Rivalry of the Week: Video Games vs. Work
Bitter House on the Prairie
Every time I have to go outside to do some manual labor, ie work on my pizza garden, cut down a tree, or mow a lawn, I feel like I'm one of those freaking kids in Little House on the Prairie. Goodness gracious, it's 2016. Isn't there an app for this yet? I think the … Continue reading Bitter House on the Prairie
Bitter Combo’s
I've played video games my whole life. Sure the graphics were kind of cloudy in the beginning, but that's because my bitter vision hadn't quite developed as well as my lungs did that first day. I remember doing a lot of screaming that day, but it was mostly because I couldn't even get past the first … Continue reading Bitter Combo’s
Escaping Reality Bitterness
Movies have been a fascination to me for a long time. I took a class in college about film once and I learned about all about its different aspects. Directing and acting of course, but also about cinematography, screenwriting and editing and how much effect they can each have on a movie. Ever since then, … Continue reading Escaping Reality Bitterness
My Bitter Rivalry with Minnie Mouse
Ever since I was a little child, I've always had a deep down bitterness for all things Disney. Â Fact: The main character of the Disney empire is a mouse. You know, those verminous creatures that eat all your food, poop all over your pantry, and spread all kinds of disease like the black plague? Â When … Continue reading My Bitter Rivalry with Minnie Mouse
Bitter Daymares
The other night, I was asked to perform the husbandly task of moving a box of something that was placed somewhere inside to a location outside. Â When it comes to being useful around the house (or anywhere for that matter) I am the Wally from Dilbert fame. Â I stealth in and out of situations be … Continue reading Bitter Daymares
Bitter Modes
Some people probably think that I am a robot programmed for the one dimensional purpose of being bitter. Â Part of that is true. Â I am a robot. Â And I am programmed for bitterness. Â But, there are actually many different subtle dimensions to my bitterness. I am programmed to behave differently in the traffic environment … Continue reading Bitter Modes
Bitter Obsessions
After doing extensive research, I've found that people are too busy to read the internet and blogs right now because they are too busy celebrating the holidays. Words are too hard to read and pictures are like a thousand words each, so there certainly isn't time for that. So, I'm bitter about it, but I'm keeping this short … Continue reading Bitter Obsessions
The Bitter Realm Conclusion – The Lost Relics
So as you probably don't remember because it was all the way back in July (I know, a couple of months ago, how is anyone expected to remember that long ago?) I decided to join another realm because I was so sick of this one. If you can't remember what was going on, I don't blame … Continue reading The Bitter Realm Conclusion – The Lost Relics
The Bitter Realm Part 2
So, I did a post last week about leaving this realm and going to another because doing stuff in this realm is hard and I'm laaazy. This is the continuation of that post, which bored and astounded no one. If you want something to put you to sleep, read the first part right here. If … Continue reading The Bitter Realm Part 2
