I’m a huge fan of games with spaceships in ‘em. If it’s had a spaceship in it, and it’s for the PC, I’ve probably played it (with a couple of exceptions I won’t mention). There are many different types of games that have spaceships in ‘em, from first-person space fighter simulations to first person shooters [...]
We’ve all been there, I’m sure. We get a new game, a new DVD, a new book series, find a new website, what have you, and we get sucked into it, wholly and fully. For a while, we’re totally enamored with this thing, whether it’s a new TV series, a funny website, or a book [...]
According to an article on IGN, a new website called GameCrush is about to launch, and the point of this site is to pay women to play video games with subscribers of the site.

On this site I’ve mentioned some news on the upcoming remake to The Rockford Files, starring Delmot Mulrooney and Alan Tudyk. I have to admit, my first reaction to hearing the news that one of my favorite shows was being targeted for a remake was “Oh fuck no,” it reminded me of the last time [...]
As of the time of this writing, I have two tattoos. My first tattoo, a pentagram-pattern surrounded by a sun on my chest — was taken from the show Supernatural, and is the same one Sam and Dean Winchester have on their chests originally seen in the season three episode, “Jus In Bello.” Now, why [...]
‘TV Squad is reporting that Firefly alum Alan Tudyk will be joining the cast of the upcoming remake of The Rockford Files, being put together by House creator David Shore. Tudyk will play Detective Dennis Becker, originally played by Joe Santos. My personal opinion of this is very wary. The Rockford Files is one of [...]
You usually hear stories about small firms or individuals stealing the designs and ideas of other people all the time. However, this blog entry over at MetaLab states that the folks at the usually-reputible firm Mozilla — you know, the guys who make Firefox — totally copied one of their designs. The real kicker?

Last night I went to see “Alice in Wonderland,” not only to see the movie, but to see the new trailer for “Tron Legacy”. Being a huge Tron fan, I’ve been getting more and more excited for the upcoming sequel to Tron for a long time, and the trailer didn’t disappoint. Showing Bruce Boxleitner in [...]
