COVID-19 is here and the government is telling you to stay home. For some of you, it sounds like a jail cell, trapped in the four walls of your suddenly shrinking house. Imagining this is I am Legend and opening your front door will only show you an empty and desolate post-apocalyptic world. For others, … Continue reading Self-Quarantine? You Mean a Staycation?
Top 15 Games of the Decade
15: Divinity Original Sin 2 (2017 PC)I am the geeky type to play Dungeons and Dragons but have never had the opportunity to play it. I imagine DOS2 is the closest I will ever get. From obsessing over how to build my character (stealth archer... duh), to figuring out all the ways to leave Fort … Continue reading Top 15 Games of the Decade

Poking fun at headlines from the weekend.

Gamenotes 3.5 – Gamenotes, but I added memes.
Detroit Lions. Needed that one man. Leave it to the Lie-Dogs to make that Kirk Cousins Contract look good. And man, Dalvin Cook. Lions hype was at an all time high going in to Monday Night Football. One short week later, the season is over. Not going 8-2 down the stretch no matter how hard they … Continue reading Gamenotes 3.5 – Gamenotes, but I added memes.
Top 10: Midland Dine-In
I am Midland lifer and I am not ashamed to admit it. I love this town, the people, the stupid roads, the Dow kow-towing local government, and despite itself, the food. I was recently FLAMED for having too narrow of a pallet from one of my more "mobile" (or a negative spin: "flighty") friends. I … Continue reading Top 10: Midland Dine-In
Gamenotes 3.4 – Feels like Free Money
*Thursday Night Football that is actually watchable? Well shoot no one told me, I missed it! Even when good teams play it is usually terrible. *The difference between the Dolphins and the Redskins is that the Dolphins are intentionally bad. *Watching Haskins be really bad, was, nice. Hey guys look give him the Peterman treatment! … Continue reading Gamenotes 3.4 – Feels like Free Money
Gamenotes 3.2 – Touchdown Jesus
Lions pretty much had to win to win this week, and they did. But if this isn't the saddest "undefeated" team. Not from a roster standpoint, just, it is incredibly Lions to have the worst tie ever week 1, follow by an impressively ugly win in week 2. And then for the entire fan base … Continue reading Gamenotes 3.2 – Touchdown Jesus
We Survived the Summer, it is Finally Here.
GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL FANS: We finally made it guys, the first college football Saturday of the year. We find ourselves enjoying the last few days of warm weather. The kids are all over Facebook bemoaning the start of school, family vacation pictures litter your feed, and sports radio has been talking about fixing baseball for … Continue reading We Survived the Summer, it is Finally Here.
Midland’s Fast Food Meals
Ah fast food, you greasy temptress, you salty sly dog. Your combination of cheap, good, and convenient is sometimes just too tough to pass on. And while I admit you've had your hooks in my heart, or rather my belly, for quite some time. It might be time for me to move on. I took … Continue reading Midland’s Fast Food Meals
Met Your Mother vs. Friends
There are two shows that will always be there for me in my house: Friends and How I Met Your Mother. Of course, these two shows on rotation are entirely my wife's choice, but over the last five years of our marriage I've learned to love them both. They are incredibly similar, with Friends being … Continue reading Met Your Mother vs. Friends
Girls and TV
It's a known fact, girls don't like to watch good TV. They frequently choose to watch shows that are unbearable, overly-dramatic, and manufactured. I've been through it all, of course, mostly as a boyfriend/fiance. You’re much more willing to grit through 60 minutes of tears and commercials when you’re still trying to convince a girl … Continue reading Girls and TV
Facebook Free February Findings
You hear all this stuff about how bad Facebook is for you. All the screen time and social media and blah blah blah blah blah. I typically write off all the articles Boomers post about what Millennials do being bad for you. Of course we have shorter attention spans, we have more stuff to do. … Continue reading Facebook Free February Findings
Lennox is 2?!?
I have a 2 year old! A lot can change in 365 days of a human life and I can say with confidence that you (and I) have changed so much! Lennox during the first year of your life, everything with you, your mom, and I, was MAGICAL. The first time you rolled over Hannah … Continue reading Lennox is 2?!?
Gamenotes Presents: Super Bowl Prop Bets
Once a year we all come together and pretend to care about NFL football still and watch the Superb Owl. Now most of the time the game ends up being boring and we have to rely on our squares and the commercials being interesting enough to keep us awake to 11p.m. on a work night … Continue reading Gamenotes Presents: Super Bowl Prop Bets
