I’ve written before that I listen to a lot of podcasts. I currently hold subscriptions to 25 shows that I listen to on a regular basis predominantly on the subject of role playing games, comic books, and other geekery. On average, I listen to somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 hours of podcasts each week. […]
I really dislike internet sites that require registration before you can view their content. I’m not talking about fee paying sites. I’m talking about discussion boards. Forums, y’know? I don’t want to have to give a board that I may never again visit my personal information. I don’t want to set a unique password for […]
It’s been a rough week on pop-culture icons. Ed McMahon died Tuesday followed by Farrah Fawcett yesterday morning and Michael Jackson the same afternoon. Each of these figures had a tremendous impact on our modern culture.
Richard Kelly, director of Donnie Darko (which was great) and Southland Tales (which was not), is finally releasing his newest movie, THE BOX. Based (loosely) on the short story “Mirror, Mirror,” by Richard Matheson, which was also a Twilight Zone episode, in THE BOX, Norma and Arthur Lewis are a suburban couple with a young […]
Holy crap! All this time, I’ve been making fun of how disgustingly stupid Jaws: The Revenge was when, in reality, it was all true! Released back in 1987, the titular shark stalks Ellen Brody and her family to the Bahamas, Cape Fear-style.

David Pinilla (Podge Cast, Back Seat Producers) ask the question: Is Luke Meyer still relevant in this industry? “If it’s up to me,” Landreth said, “Luke will be the last person from the Podge Cast that we have […]
How do you feel about Johnny Cash? What about The Misfits? What about spaghetti westerns and horror movies? Somewhere between country western and punk rock at the point where ballads meet metal sits Ghoultown. Forming in 1999 they have left their mark on six CD’s, numerous compilations, movies, short films, a comic book and even […]
A friend of mine and I were chatting today when he remarked that he had just picked up a set of World of Warcraft figures as a gift for his dad… “Wow!” I said, “That is so cool that you’re dad’s a gamer!” “Naw, he just likes the action figures.” Still cool. One of those […]
The Wife and I were watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother last night. One part of the episode dealt with newlyweds Marshall and Lilly putting together their death letters for each other. You know, the letter you leave your loved ones only to be read in the event of your death? The […]
I’m not too sure what makes a WWII shooter good, but somehow, I’ve played both amazing and horrible games centered around that conflict. I’m going to do my best not to hash out all the old arguments of why we shouldn’t make them anymore. The fact that WWII game series have lasted longer than the […]
