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

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

Renewing My Love For The FPS
When it comes to video games, the Quake series is my end-all, be-all pick for best ever. I love FPS games…as long as they’re on a PC. Give me a keyboard and mouse and I will own a map. But give me a controller and I’m a n00b. So when I got a Rainbow Six… Continue reading

Review: The Blacklist
Like most people, I am a fan of America’s past time. No I’m not talking about baseball. Does anybody actually watch baseball anymore? But I digress. The past time I am talking about happens to be planting my ass in front of the TV. Now that this Fall’s offering is finally upon us, I thought… Continue reading

Review: NCAA Football 10
As a long time fan of Electronic Art’s Madden football games, I have yet to be impressed with their NCAA franchise. From the get go I was thoroughly impressed with this years offering of NCAA Football. The graphics were the first thing on my list of many that I enjoyed. The graphics in NCAA 10 are… Continue reading

Review: Madden NFL 10
Well it’s been over a month since Madden NFL 10 was released and I am finally sitting down to write the review. Why has it taken me so long? Because I am more impressed with NCAA Football 10 and find myself going back to it instead of Madden. As I stated in my review of… Continue reading

Review: G500 Gaming Mouse
True, I did smack Jero upside the head with the Gigabyte GM-M8000, that doesn’t mean he had to return the favor with the Logitech G500. On the other hand, it was nice to see that I got to try a new mouse and stop using the old ball-and-chain that I’ve been using for the last… Continue reading

Review: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
So, I’m sitting at home playing a little NCAA Football when my door flys open and Richard runs in wearing only a bathrobe that is showing me way way to much of his ‘joystick’….. “dudedudedudedudedudedude… check out what….” Reaching over, I grab my Transformers pillow and throw it at him. “Mr. Potato Head, Mr. Potato Head! What did… Continue reading

The sex trafficker’s father (Rade Šerbedžija) declares vengeance on Mills and abducts him and his wife in Istanbul, leaving their daughter to… Continue reading

Review: G19 Gaming Keyboard
My quest for “Total Immersion Gaming” was recently fueled by the arrival of the G19 Gaming Keyboard. I have played with two gaming keyboards, the Zboard and Merc Stealth from Ideazon (SteelSeries) in the past. Both have some useful features, however I soon found them lacking and ended up going back to using a $20 generic keyboard.… Continue reading
