Comic Review: Halcyon #1

Comic Review: Halcyon #1

Usually I can find something I like in most comic books that I read, but for some reason, I had a hard time doing that with Halcyon #1. The art wasn’t bad, the writing was OK, maybe that was it, it just felt…run of the mill?

The game isn’t THAT cool

The game isn’t THAT cool

Call of Duty: Black Ops hits the shelves tomorrow. So some morons in Maryland couldn’t wait, and robbed a GameStop in a Bel Air shopping center at gunpoint. Nobody is sure if the Fresh Prince was there at the time of the robbery. I know I’m going to catch some flak for this, but seriously? […]

Work Break Time: Afternoon Delight

Yes, I’ve been slacking on giving you something to do on your work breaks. I came across this today and well, even though I’m not crazy into the movies, still thought this was tongue in cheek funny. So, if you like to watch adults cosplay Harry Potter in the middle of New York’s Grand Central […]

Supreme Court Wants to Weigh in on Video Games?

The Supreme Court expressed sympathy for a California law that aims to keep children away from ultra-violent video games, but several justices said the law faces a high constitutional hurdle. The law in question is the California ban that would make it illegal for retailers to sell or rent violent video games to anyone under […]

Casual Gamers, It’s back! :UPDATED:

Casual Gamers, It’s back! :UPDATED:

I think everyone has been bored to a point where they played a couple of rounds of Bejeweled to kill a couple of minutes, but then spend an hour playing instead. You know what I’m talking about, you got one hand propping up your slumped over face as you absentmindedly spend a couple of ours […]

Plants Vs Zombies: On the DS!

Plants Vs Zombies: On the DS!

I’m glad that PopCap games just came on my radar recently. This is probably one of my favorite new game trailers I’ve seen lately, and we’ve posted a bunch here. Since I don’t have an iPhone, I missed them there, and after we reviewed the PC/Mac version, I knew they were a solid company. Now, […]

The Event: Why Can’t I Quit You?

Help me please. I’m drowning. I watched Lost, every episode, from start to finish. I….I don’t know if I can do this again. Every week I tell myself, ‘Ok, it’s recorded on the DVR, you don’t have to watch it.’ Yet, I never hesitate to start the show. I know that in a nutshell, this […]

Incorruptible surrounds Max Damage a former bad guy turned good guy, when good guy Plutonian decided to kill a couple million people. It is a great read regardless if that last sentence confused you […]

Alright. I’m a jock. Probably the only one on this site that wasn’t in the Drama club or something. It’s my favorite time of the year, football season. Why I’m posting this is because my favorite team is the Steelers, and it’s been a lifelong dream of mine and I’m sure my dads to see […]
