First off, I’d like to thank Reno (and Discovery Channel for all their help in getting this together) for taking the time to answer my questions! We’re hoping to have more of the participants from The Colony to talk to soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Work Break Time: Afternoon Delight

Alright this is a shameless plug to my childhood, and I want to thank I think Jermaine for bringing it up on the podcast. If you saw Hook starring Robin Williams as a kid, you know you did this. Sit back, turn down your speakers (sound is a little loud) and be the Pan. RufiOOOOOOooooooooooooo.

Boeing Wants to Put YOU in Space.

So Boeing is now taking flight to the next level, space by 2015! Sorry, no Jumbo 747 type of air crafts here. The Crew Space Transportation-100 (CST-100) spacecraft, expected to be operational by 2015, the company said Wednesday. Yup, that’s a strap in and ride a giant bottle rocket trip into the space. Extra seats […]

Work Break Time: Afternoon Delight

I have to thank our site overlord Xopher for introducing me to Louis CK in the podcast last week. I’d never seen nor heard him beyond his glorious times on NBC’s Parks and Rec show as a cop. The guy is damn hilarious, and honestly, you all should be paying more attention to him. So, […]

TV Review: Lien on Me

TV Review: Lien on Me

I don’t watch the HGTV channel very often, if ever. Thankfully my wife knows what I like and recorded this show for me. It sat on my DVR for a week until my wife pointed it out, by the name I thought it was some weird Romantic Comedy, turns out I was pretty wrong! This […]

My Wife Buys Me Things to Play With

My Wife Buys Me Things to Play With

So, I was at work, doing my work stuff when I get a text message. “Toys on sale, do you want Captain America or Green Goblin?” My first response that took .5 seconds was “CAPT!” Then I followed up with a text of “Action Figures, not toys hun, way different.” Her reply was “mmhmm.” Whatever, […]

TV Review: Nikita

TV Review: Nikita

This show has been done already, movies? They made two. So why is CW of all networks trying to revive this series? I don’t know, but I’m sure glad it isn’t Vampire Diarys of a teenage mother or something. Nikita (Played by Maggie Q) is an assassin, a pretty bad ass one. She’s pissed, and […]

Caprica Returns Soon!

Caprica Returns Soon!

I know that this show has created a bit of a division between people who were very big fans of the recent Battlestar Galactica remake series. Some people love Caprica, some hate it, others just don’t want to know it exists. I’m all about back story, and that is what I take from Caprica, it […]

Magic The Gathering: Pro Tour Updates

Magic The Gathering: Pro Tour Updates

I don’t know if there was a huge crowd chanting “U..S..A! USA!” cause the Americans sure did seem to dominate at the Amsterdam stop on the MTG: Pro Tour. Paul Rietzl from Los Angeles, California took home the top prize, no word yet on how he fared at the Red Light District. Pro Tour – […]

Stargate: Universe, Spoilers Ahead!

We’ve got quite a few fans of the Stargate: Universe show here at WatchPlayRead. I myself am very thankful for James getting me into the show and helping me get caught up since I jumped in a little late. I usually try to stay as far, far way from spoiling shows that I really like, […]

I Review Chef Shows: Top Chef

I Review Chef Shows: Top Chef

Yeah, I like cooking shows, though I’m not a fancy pants cook by any means. I honestly don’t understand 90% of the stuff people are doing on this show. It’s fine dining, and I don’t think I’ve ever partaken in eating of that sort. This show just gives me a reason to say while I’m […]
