Good to see that Forbidden Planet is still around. I used to see ads for it when I collected Marvel as a kid, and I always dreamed of visiting what I assumed would be a Mecca for comics. The remember the ads for the place nearest me, Another World in Eagle Rock, CA, which I got to visit once but has since closed…

I remember watching The Howling with my older cousin. For some reason, her reaction at the end always stuck with me: "Awww, she turned into a cute one!"

The Dissolve was my go-to place for a movie review, because most of the folks there share my taste in cinema. If a movie got a good grade there, I knew there was a big chance that I would like it. I hated the format of the website, especially when trying to read it on a phone or tablet where there was no way to…

Seriously. He looks like The Most Interesting Man In The World.

Very interesting interview. I don't know if I've read a Random Roles that goes more into an actor's process than this one. And my mind has just been blown that Healy from OINTB and Steve from Deadwood are played by the same guy.

According to IMDB, his character first shows up in the fifth episode of Season 2.

The best part of the show used to be the "Keep It One Hundred" segment, but they've been phasing it out (the last one I saw was with Vincent Kartheiser for the Mad Men Finale, and they just used it to continuously ask him what happens in the finale). I presume it's hard to book guests when they know they might be put…

My favorite part of Sin City. Good God, Carla Gugino.

I would go to Boiling Crab more if it was just a little bit less pricey, and a little less busy. We had one open up in my neighborhood a couple of years ago, and there hasn't been a weekend where it hasn't been a 45 min wait. Even Wednesdays and Thursdays tend to be crazy there.

The original Tommy's on Rampart is the only one worth going to, and this is from someone that actually got my car rear-ended and totalled looking for that Tommy's. They do something to the chili there that just isn't at the other locations.

Oh man, I had no idea that Bradley Whitford would be such a great interview. This could have gone on for five more pages, and I would have lapped it all up.

The game was designed by Steve Meretsky, who had done some classic Infocom titles (Planetfall, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Leather Goddess of Phobos) as well as Legend Entertainment's Spellcasting 101: Sorcerers Get All The Girls. Needless to say, the writing in Superhero League of Hoboken was crisp and…

Descent is one of two games that made me nauseous when I played it. The feeling of disorientation I got from losing which way was "up" made me queasy in the stomach. I definitely think I would be one of those people that would lose their lunch if I ever got on the Vomit Comet.

Seriously. Any reason why the Annie Potts role in the new Ghostbusters movie can't be played by Annie Potts? We need more of her in our lives.

Speak the truth, you face-touching-while-free-throw-shooting sharpshooter.

The Red Wings were so unfair in that game. All the other teams only had most one superfast superstar, but the Wings with both Yzerman and Federov could come at you with two lines. And then put them together on a power-play unit, and it was impossible.

Anyone remember the game Superhero League of Hoboken? It was a comedy RPG game where people that were mutated by radiation started to develop silly superpowers. I remember one of the heroes had the ability to put someone to sleep, with an accompanying "yawn" sound effect. My girlfriend at the time kept asking me…

I miss me some Computer Gaming World. 1994 was the year I moved out of my parent's place, so it felt neat to get my own magazine subscriptions. CGW was one of my first. Their reviews were so trustworthy that I had no problem waiting the two or three months after a game was released in order to read the CGW review.

Oh yeah, fighting dragons and collecting bubbles in the air. The feel of flight in Magic Carpet was better than most flight or space sims.

My buddy and I are both Kings fans, but got so frustrated at how much they sucked that I finally settled on playing the Roenick-led Blackhawks, and he took the Yzerman / Federov Red Wings. This culminated in an epic best-of-25 series, with the loser buying five In-N-Out Double-Doubles. I ended up losing 13 games to…
