Review: Grinding Into Boredom
Having watched The Wonder Years as a kid, I thought I would give Fred Savage’s new show, The Grinder, a shot. Big mistake. When the first episode ended, I wasn’t looking forward to next week; instead, I was telling myself, “You just wasted 30 minutes of your life, and you’re never going to get it… Continue reading

Interview: American McGee Revisted
There are very few things I am more passionate about than gaming. And passion doesn’t really describe my love for the Quake series of games, specifically Quake II (Lithium mod’s grappling hook and double-barreled shotgun).

Hollywood manages to take something from my childhood and ruin it with a remake that doesn’t even come close to the perfection of the original cough Wonder Woman, Knight Rider, and Bionic Woman cough. And it looks like Hollywood is going to do it again, this… Continue reading

Review: The Player
NBC’s The Player seems to be raking in the bad reviews. I just finished the second episode and, well, this isn’t one of the bad reviews. The Player stars Philip Winchester as Alex Kane, a security consultant recruited by Mr. Johnson (Wesley Snipes) “The Pitt Boss,” the “public face” of “The House,” an organization of gamblers… Continue reading

Superman Is Not As Innately Cool As Vaughn
If you’re a regular reader here, you know I am a hemophiliac. Three times a week, I inject (called infusing) a medication called Kogenate FS. Kogenate gives me the factor of my blood I am missing, the missing factor is what makes me a hemophiliac. What you might not know is that my formative years… Continue reading
