I still remember the disappointment of my first McRib. I had my first Whopper in years Saturday night while heading home from a couple beers at the pub.

I hold The Wire and The Sopranos in the same regard. I watched all of The Sopranos first and I think The Wire generally gets held higher is because of its real-world implications. The Wire is essentially narrative activism and can leave you feeling empowered, albeit in a rather hopeless way. It's a window into a world…

I've replayed a total of five video games after finishing them, and GoW 1 is one of them. I've had the itch to play it again recently. It's redundant to say this, but after Jaffe's departure, the series has gone downhill. The game replaced his ingenuity and brilliant level design with set pieces that, while cool, are…

I'm jealous that you have the patience to replay an RPG, especially something like Dragon Quest. I started gaming again about 6 years ago and I put my time in on a few RPGs. The thought of replaying anything I put 60-150 hours into makes me want to vomit. I just can't do it. I can't even make it more than 3 hours into…

Not sure I could emotionally handle all the Breaking Bad episodes again. But, boy, do I wish I had the time.

I had asthma as a kid, so I have no hope of being cool, ever.

It's the bleakness that turns me off. I'm a huge fan of Dark Place, Mighty Boosh, Look  Around You, IT Crowd, That Mitchell and Webb Look, even Gervais & Merchant's The Office, but I can't take much of Peep Show. Hypocritical of me given most of what I like. I'm sure I'll try it again sometime, but I've given it a go…

What network is airing Nashville? 'Cause now I'm stoked.

Nice! I'm seeing Primus in a couple weeks on their "An Evening with Primus" tour, which I imagine will net us at least two-and-a-half hours of music. I have yet to listen to Green Naugahyde, though. Sounds like it's time to brush up.

Ever since Arrested Development and coming late to The Sopranos, film has just paled in comparison. I still see a few flicks a year in the theater, but the depth that modern serialized drama provides, coupled with the run time of films makes them a hard sell now. I was heavily into film in college and, while I…

Thanks! It was certainly enjoyable. Makes me lament the passing of Gram Parsons all the more.
