I quite like Alien Ant Farm, thanks to their inclusion in a bunch of video game soundtracks of games I played. They’re pretty trashy, but I don’t make any claims about my taste in music. Probably one of the best concerts I ever went to was them playing Roscoe Village’s Oysterfest in 2011 or so. Two blocks from my old…

I can’t stand that. I’m a tall guy, so I think my family presumes I want my seat leaned back, but even as a passenger it makes me uneasy. I gotta sit straight.

When I went car shopping, I had a few frivolous requests. Leather seats. Nav package when I could easily use my phone. And a sedan. Because I like the look of sedans, as opposed to something with an obnoxious rear end or, god forbid, a SUV where I need neither the S or U. So I’m going to keep driving my beautiful new…

Maybe there’s a bunch of these little ones out there, and a limo that stretches from one side of the state to the other.

What is that beautiful green monstrosity?

Knowing nothing about this vehicle, it looked like a big car. Then seeing the people standing next to it, it looks adorable.

I bought my Kia used from a Lexus dealer. Cheap car and a nice experience.

I got a bit of curb rash on my brand new alloy tires. I’ve been living in the city all my life, and i just got a beautiful new car, so this was very disheartening :(

I recently got a newish car, so I got Weathertech floor liners to protect it. When driving my 6'2" brother around (too tall to really put his feet on the dash), the guy refused to keep his feet still and on the mat, and several times his shoes got dangerously close to scuffing some part of my car (namely the glove…

One of my family recipes (a basic Sloppy Joes) specifically calls for Brooks Ketchup (my father’s tastebuds magically detect everything wrong with it if he doesn’t see the right brand go in), so I was a little disappointed to not see it here. It’s pretty decent ketchup from a brand that I guess is known for chili…

I have to give my goty to Yakuza 0 and it ain’t even close. It has the commitment to being fun that is lost on some other games I’ve played this year, while still managing to tell a dramatic and moving story. It lets you take the game at your own pace, offering tons of stuff to do, while nailing every aspect of…

It seems kinda wrong to introduce such an important figure in pinball design as “that voice from Mortal Kombat”.

I’m a big KISS fan, but Gene Simmons is pretty indefensible. That’s part of the reason why Paul Stanley will always be my favorite member of the group. Just the other day, the two commented on the potential for another album, and Stanley discussed the need for it to be musically different from past projects to justify…

Alpha Protocol was a favorite of mine. I played it very silly, just kung fu-ing people to death. It had a fantastic dialogue system.

I found myself having open world exhaustion. But then there were a few standouts. After every driving game went open world, Driver: San Fran gave me a story, a cool mechanic, and some groovy music that was all distinctly different from other driving games. After playing quite a bit of AC and being burned out by the…

I haven’t watched the ep yet, but to answer your question “Do any of the hosts actually practice MMA in their spare time?”, I know that one of the “Property Brothers”, Jonathon (the contractor who is appearing on DWTS) is a “second-degree black belt in Shotake karate” according to Wikipedia. Not quite MMA, but…

I would sat Blazing Saddles is funnier than YF, but YF is perhaps the better movie. I would say that Holy Grail is funnier than Brian, but Brian is the better movie. So you gotta ask if you’re looking for straight humor or the smarter film.

I remember watching the Bears lose a kick off. It was a pretty awesome game tbh. The two best kickers in the league constantly hitting field goals from like 50 yrds out.

The CPU was down 3 to 21 against the Falcons as the Patriots in the 3rd? That’s still a very winnable game. Just ask Brady.

Where's Fifth Element?
