We ask the real questions here at Troamm.com, the questions other sites are too scared to ask. With all that said, I read over the list of games available on the upcoming … Continue reading “Playstation Classic Line-up – Seriously?!”
Fuck ’em.
It’s no secret, to those who know me, that I love 8-bit and 16-bit video game music.

I think some absolutely excellent music came out of the … Continue reading “Retro Playthrough – Terranigma (SNES) [Part One]”
I leave for Omaha in less than three months. I figure since I’m going to be going for my Master’s in English, I need to get ready. There’s a certain amount of pomposity that goes with graduate school, and I feel like I’ve really got to work to achieve it. It’s time for a life-changing … Continue reading “Life-Changing Decision”

It came out today. I’ve been a 97’s fan for years. This is the best thing they’ve done since Satellite Rides in 2001. Hands down. Which isn’t to say the two records (and one live album) in between were bad. On the contrary. I wrote an entire novella to 2008’s Blame It On Gravity. They … Continue reading “The Grand Theatre, Volume One”
“I tell you what, catch me before my morning cup of coffee and it’s like: BAM! death penalty.” “Okay, I admit it. I killed the man. Wait. I’m not on trial, am I…” “Is that the guy? Sure. I can help put him away.” “Yes, Mr. Prosecutor. My wife loved the cookies you sent her.” … Continue reading “More Ways to Get Out of Jury Duty”
