Review: Shank (Steam)


One of our Steam Group members(nabeelburney) offered me a a great trade this morning, two cheaper games for Shank.  When I looked it up here on WoM, I realized that we only had a pre-release article.  Since we needed a review here and I couldn’t pass up a chance to play Shank (I had been eyeing it before release), I made the deal, and got it downloading as soon as possible.

Moogle the Terrible!


If you read the blog that was posted a few days ago, you would know that we have recently added to our family with our new kitten, Moogle.

She is a very cute cat. Very playful, she “speaks” to us when we wake up in the mornings and when we come home after being out, and she purrs so loud!

One huge side effect is that Moogle came equipped with dagger claws of DOOM! I am not exaggerating either folks. I speak the truth.

For the past 48 hours she has been kicking my ass and little by little, my body starts to resemble bloody swiss cheese.

Proof? You want proof? Here you go…

My left wrist

Shot of entire left thigh

Needless to say I am in a lot of pain right now because a majority of those just happened within the past 30 minutes. She wanted to climb on up and decided to use my pants as her way up. I am wearing PJ pants and they are very thin. Her claws went right through the pants and into my poor, delicate skin.

Ouch… and ouch.

Indescribable Pain


Lindsey had her Mary Kay meeting last night.  I, as always, attended as well, since she doesn’t have a driver’s license.  Now, normally, the meetings last about an hour or two, which is fine, but last night’s meeting was almost four hours.  Allow me to explain why that makes a difference.  The chairs at the Mary Kay center, while appearing comfortable to one unaware of the truth, are hard as stone.  There is absolutely no padding on the butt or the back whatsoever.  At the two hour mark, I’m generally very uncomfortable and fidgeting a great deal.  At the four hour mark, I would have preferred waterboarding.

I wonder if anyone else found it odd that I was attempting to describe that which was indescribable.

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
