‘Paul’ Movie Review
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are a dynamic duo. The two British comedians have made two of my favorite comedies of the last decade, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Their latest project together, Paul, serves as an homage to their love of American pop culture and all things nerd. The film has some good laughs, yet it... Read More »
Pinball FX 2 Paranormal and Sorcerer’s Lair DLC Review
Zen Studios’ been doing a great job bringing new content to their flagship product, Pinball FX2. But I guess I already said that before. That’s a great thing. Very rarely do we get to see such a following from a developer for their game post release. Considering how one of these tables was free for a couple of weeks... Read More »

Ms Splosion Man Pinball FX 2 Table...
If it was not clear already, I’m a huge fan of Zen Studios. Now, what would we get if they teamed up with yet another game studio I absolutely adore?

Warhammer 40K Dawn of War II:...
Dawn of War II was already one heck of a RTS game already and with Retribution, things are only getting more fun. The Warhammer 40K is one of the longest running fantasy/science fiction series around, in both table top and videogaming scenes. Retribution shifts the scope from Dawn of War II somewhat from the space marines to the rest... Read More »
Bastion Review
Bastion is a ton of fun. Without going into much details into the story in the hopes of keeping you unspoiled and fresh to the game, it’s safe to say that everything about this game is freaking epic, right down to the final name in the ending credits. After you beat the game for the 2nd time, in New... Read More »
Serenity Review: A Great Train Wreck in...
How can a show which only had thirteen episodes spawn a feature film? After Joss Whedon’s Firefly was cancelled in 2002, sci-fi fans howled as Fox tore another great show to pieces and created the biggest open wound in the community since NBC forced the Enterprise off the air in 1969. But following in the grand traditions of fanboys... Read More »
Glee: Preggers Review
Glee is a high school musical comedy. It’s had enormous success through the first three episodes and “Preggers” did not disappoint.

Its major plot points are all things that you will see in other high school, coming-of-age shows. “Preggers” included... Read More »
Does Entourage Roll Deep or Fall Flat?
It is the show that placed “hug it out” in America’s lexicon. It also gave Jeremy Piven a steady career and ensured that America didn’t remember him as Dean Pritchard from Old School. However, after viewing the first four episodes of season six, Entourage can be known also as the show that got too stale and overstayed its welcome.... Read More »

In a couple of weeks I will be moving into my new apartment at school for the coming year. This will be the first time I will have a kitchen, but haven’t a clue how to use it.

District 9 Review
Despite the promising concept: District 9 only proves to disappoint my expectations as the film constantly prefers to use the sword over the pen. That being said, there’s still some stimulating aspects of District 9, but they never rise above the rest of the crowd. Read More »
