Crack, And In Copious Amounts!

Last night’s Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror, sadly, seems to have continued the ongoing slide in quality that has plagued The Simpsons for at least the last several years. It just really wasn’t all that funny. The storylines were trite and…

The Bourne Supremacy

My wife and I went to see The Bourne Supremacy two weekends ago and I’m just now getting a chance to jot down my thoughts on the movie. I heartily enjoyed it and, as a genre film, it succeeds fairly…

Plug O’ The Day: RSS Readers

Guilty Gear X2

Wow. That’s all I’ve got to say about Guilty Gear X2. The game is art, art, I say! The beautiful, hand-drawn characters are just ingenious in their design and the finishing moves had me absolutely rolling in my seat. It’s…
