I’m a huge Linkin Park fan. Since the release of Hybrid Theory, I’ve followed their releases with huge anticipation, whether they be new studio albums, remix albums, live albums, DVDs, etc. They’re a great multimedia band, and they are always willing to try new things…even if it means alienating some of their core fan base.

Damn right! I’m profanity laced tonight, so you know what? Bruce Wayne may be the goddamn Batman, but now he’s just one of two! There’s also the mutha-f*ckin’ Batman, Dick Grayson! What, you say? Yup…you know how we always get pissed when, just as we’re getting used to the replacement in a character’s suit, they […]
You know, demos are the new video game rentals. I don’t like paying the high prices of video game rentals, and places like Gamefly seem to always be out of stock of the games I want to rent until they’ve been out for a while. It seems to me that many video game companies are […]

Another quiet week on the gaming front for me, until I saw the latest gameplay video for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Wow. I immediately went out and preordered this after watching the video!
