This week has been an interesting one for me. Initially, I thought I hadn’t done much gaming, then I looked at my Steam account to see my most recently played. On Saturday, I had started the single player campaign of 2005’s Star Wars Battlefront 2, (purchased as part of a Humble Bundle a couple of years ago) – I…
Well you really do learn something new every day. I’ve been gaming since childhood, for more than 30 years, and I’ve never heard of “incremental gaming” before. Then again, I’ve never been much of a mobile gamer either, since I usually like to catch up on reading, interwebs, podcasts, and social media when I’m on the…

I’m still on Metal Gear Solid, and honestly I’m finding it quite frustrating. I don’t know whether it’s because I’m playing a PS game on a PS3 and the controller just doesn’t quite translate correctly, but the controls are really janky. Aiming is nigh impossible, especially with the assault rifle, and even crawling…
I looked at my friend playing Anthem and I cannot believe that a game like Anthem exists.
Fire Promoter is out! The long awaited Management mode for Fire Pro Wrestling World is here, and I’ve only managed to delve a little into it. It seems limited but a solid framework- you start out with a few wrestlers and you put on a card each month, you can scout for guys and invite guests, you can put out merch,…
Couldn’t agree more that Netflix hits are great.
Yeah I’ll disagree.
Wait....
Well you can’t lug a WordStar 4.0 on an airplane, even if he was trying to finish the book.
“It’s My Life” was an MTV staple with it’s iconic wildlife montage video, that attracted my eyes and ears even as a kid.
The baseline, and aural soundscape, in It’s My Life still blows me away to this day.
Well, shit. I genuinely liked Talk Talk. There is no amount of ironic distance that can protect me from this.
It still sounds better than the other option, current/former “Disney employee”.
Poignant, arresting, emotional, and beautiful. Sometimes things don’t have to be a total shock or unexpected. There were surprises here to be sure, and we may have guessed some of the results before they were revealed, but sometimes it’s the journey and the destination. Both were wonderful and sad, tragic but…
Terrific third year outing for True Detective. It was a pleasure to see three lead performance shine but like for everyone here, Stephen Dorff proved a revelation. Some are not going to like the twists to get “that story worth telling” but I was very surprised that a series that was careening into conspiracy, a…
As a child of a father with memory issues, the scene with Wayne and Rebecca in the car when she tells him, “I miss you right now” broke my heart.
Roland may have been looking for punishment like Junius, but he didn’t just stand there like a dope, he kicked some serious biker ass. And I agree that Dorff's performance was one of the nicest surprises in a long time.
