Mid-day Ska Song of the Day!

Welcome back my brethren, today’s ska song of the day is one that actually influenced the brand of canned fish that I buy. It’s time to shake the rigor mortis out of your limbs and get skankin to “The Bumble Bee Tuna Song” by the worlds most loveable satanic ska band Mephiskapheles. This track in […]

Whorin’ the Comics: March 11, 2009

Hey whores! Welcome to Wednesday, the day that most comic shops get their new shipments of comics. I never realized how much shit actually comes out in the comic world each week, but at least now I do all the work so you never have to wonder what’s new. I can’t claim that this list […]

I Have Seen the Future…

It is both awesome and sad at the same time.

Special Edition Sucker

Special Edition Sucker

P.T. Barnum is known for his excellent one-liners, my favorite being that “There’s a sucker born every minute.” I am one of these suckers and didn’t quite notice it until the other day. I was looking through my game collection and I noticed that I have quite a few ‘Limited Editions’ and ‘Collector’s Editions’ sitting […]

Whorin’ The Movies: March 10, 2009

Boy, I never realized how much shit is released on a weekly basis on DVD and Blu-ray until I started making this list. This week’s releases have a few surprises that I might have to go pick up. All I know for sure is that Pinocchio is a ‘for sure’ purchase for me…have to keep […]

Mid-day Ska Song of the Day!

Wake the hell up people!!! The workday is almost over, Daylight Saving Time sucks but at least you’re awake now! This is one of my favorite songs of all time by The Specials. The track “Pressure Drop” can be found on their greatest hits or on the Grosse Pointe Blank Soundtrack. Now get up and […]

I’m Officially Done With Rhythm Games

I’m Officially Done With Rhythm Games

As much as I enjoy playing rhythm games, I been thinking about how assinine my behavior has been in purchasing these games. I’ve got 3 different versions of Guitar Hero sitting in my mancave along with 2 versions of Rockband +100 downloaded songs. Along with the games, I have about 5 different guitars and 3 […]

Hey I Buy Used Games Too!

I know this is completely out of left-field, but there are times that I think that I should start my own used game service. It seems to be the cool thing for companies to do these days. Just take a look at Amazon for instance. Just this last week they decided that they’re going to […]

Ahh…The Not-So-Old Days

Ahh…The Not-So-Old Days

Continuing on from my post yesterday, I had stopped right after I blathered on about my affinity for the SNES. It was a great time to be a gamer when the SNES was around but was also one of the worst times due to the birth of what we now know as ‘fanboyism’. For anyone […]

Ahh…The Good Ol’ Days

Ahh…The Good Ol’ Days

I am the quintessential renaissance gamer, a classic gamer, a modern gamer, a console gamer, and even a PC gamer at times. I’ve been gaming since way back in 1983 when I was only three years old. I got my start on the good ol’ Commodore 64. The first games I can recall playing were […]

I’ve Become One of THOSE People…

I’ve Become One of THOSE People…

As I was doing some heavy thinking this weekend, you know the kind of heavy thinking that takes 30 minutes and allows you to read a few chapters of a book or get the high score in Tetris, and I realized that my brand of retro-snobbery is akin to the same cleft-assholed guys that prefer […]

Hitler Should Have Made a Down-Payment…

Caught this video when I was trying to find the Upright Citizens Brigade skit about Ass Pennies. This will just have to do. If you’ve paid attention to the current credit crisis and housing bubble, it’ll have you rolling after about 2 minutes when he asks everyone who warned him about the housing bubble to […]

Le Café (The Coffee) by Oldelaf

Le Café (The Coffee) by Oldelaf

  I think America and France need to become buddies again, we used to be so close. Take for example ‘le Café’ by Oldelaf as an example. We’re all caffeine addled workers that need to rage every once in a while. Watch the video and tell me that there aren’t any of you who felt […]
