It’s always sucky on FX
I’ve been hearing about the series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” from multiple places for over a year now. I tried watching a couple episodes when I first heard of it, and hated it. I tried the other night, because they’re building up buzz because of a new season or something, and still hate it.…
Medic!
I wish it were legal to marry a videogame, because then I’d marry Team Fortress 2, and I wouldn’t feel so guilty about how much I want to have sex with it. A game that’s that much fun to play shouldn’t need to look as good as it does. There’s a video from some of…
Blink
I was really impressed with the current version of “Doctor Who” when it started airing on the Sci Fi channel. It’s funny to read about just how huge it is in the UK, since it came as a total surprise to me that I’d enjoy it at all, much less think of it as must-see…
Aftershock
At some point during the blur of the past few weeks, I “finished” BioShock. (The Xbox Achievements are still there to remind me I haven’t really finished until I’ve played through a second time, even more slowly and methodically). The game has been out so long by now that it’s been picked clean of things…
Let’s all go to the lobby… and have ourselves a good cry.
I remember when the intro clips they showed at movie theaters used to be cool. You’d be flying through space and there’s a Coke formation up ahead but all of a sudden popcorn starts exploding all around you and then they thank you for not smoking. Nowadays, the theater conglomerate that currently monopolizes Marin is…
“A Triumph of the Human Spirit”
I haven’t been writing on here much lately (apart from tonight), because I’ve been too busy not getting my work done. Since I’m currently failing on the development side of things, maybe I can be of use to my company in marketing and promotion: Sam & Max Season Two has been announced, and there’s a…
Zero Punctuation
The best commentary being made about videogames today is from a guy named “Yahtzee” Croshaw, who started with videos on YouTube and is now doing them for the online magazine The Escapist. I don’t know the guy, but after seeing his review of BioShock I want to be his best friend. And below is the…
Betrayal at 1 Infinite Loop
Today Apple demonstrated its love for the early adopters and hard-core Apple fanatics who’ve supported the company by announcing a 200-dollar price drop on the iPhone. The best part, if you’re the type who reads the internets, is that it opened the door for all those who didn’t already buy an iPhone (you know, poor…
