Iron Man 2 Review

Tony Stark is such a badass. When you think about it, he has everything people want. Fame, fortune, intelligence, good looks, a way with the ladies, and he is a fucking superhero. I loved the original Iron Man movie, and while I was sure I’d love the sequel, I still had some reservations. Chris and I love going to midnight premieres, so it wasn’t even a question if we would be attendin...[Read More]

Street Fighter Fan Films

I love Street Fighter.  I may not love all things Street Fighter (I’m looking at you Jean Claude and Kristin Kreuk), but I love the concept of Street Fighter.  This week was a great week for fans of Street Fighter.  I feel like saying “Street Fighter” one more time: Street Fighter.  …Street Fighter. I said Street Fighter (8) seven times in that opening paragraph, and I̵...[Read More]

Review: Dragon Age: Origins (X360 DLC)

I enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins immensely, as indicated in this review.  What I didn’t mention in the review is that we downloaded and played all of the DLC currently available as well.  Well, to be fair, The Stone Prisoner DLC was included with the game, but we did purchase the Warden’s Keep and Return to Ostagar DLCs. The Stone Prisoner DLC provides a fantastic new character, Shale (wh...[Read More]

Review: Dragon Age: Origins (X360)

Since childhood, I have been a great fan of fantasy.  I have played many fantasy-genre RPGs over the last two decades, and they remain one of my favorite genres of video game.  Needless to say, I was excited about the release of Dragon Age: Origins. One of my favorite RPGs for a very long time was Neverwinter Nights, released in 2002 by Bioware.  Hearing that Bioware, makers of amazing games such ...[Read More]

Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution (Xbox 360)

When I was a yound lad, I came upon a video game called “Sid Meier’s Civilization”.*  I played the shit out of it.  I then played the shit out of Civilization II.  I then kept my shit-playing-out-of tradition alive with Civilization III.  By the time Civilization IV came around, I had less playing-the-shit-out-of-things time available, so I was only able to gently peruse the game...[Read More]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Most people know who the Super Mario Bros. are.  Even if they don’t know who Luigi is (poor guy), they know who Mario is.  New Super Mario Bros. Wii fits in to that famous legacy perfectly. Whoops…Wrong Mario. I know I’ve got it around here somewhere…. *rummage* Aha! I’ve been playing Mario games since I was a kid; my first time playing Mario Bros. on the Nintendo Ent...[Read More]

Taken

If you manage to walk away from Taken having learned one lesson, that lesson would be to never fuck with Liam Neeson.  If you do, you will die so hard that your ancestors will feel it.  Seriously. Liam Neeson plays Bryan Mills, a retired CIA agent trying to get closer to his estranged daughter.  Plot setup ensues, and finally his daughter is kidnapped while on vacation in Paris.  He tracks down th...[Read More]
