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.

Interview: American McGee Revisted
There are very few things I am more passionate about than gaming.

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
