Batman Arkham Asylum Game of the Year?
Posted by alan | Filed under Behind the Scenes, Gaming, General Life
So I’ve been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum lately for the PC, and I must say it is an absolutely brilliant game.
I’ve overheard several people claiming that it should be Game of the Year, but I’ve felt that it was too soon to say such as thing, as Arkham is a relatively early contender for 2009. [...]

Sinuses: Shock and Awe
Posted by alan | Filed under General Life
This is the time of year when I spend half my time expelling various fluids out of my nasal orafices… thank you Pacific Northwest Tree Pollen.
I have sinus problems, and they are severe and recurring. If I don’t do something about them when I first feel the allergic sting of watery eyes and drippy nose, [...]

‘Formal Protest’ for Jim Parsons
Posted by alan | Filed under Editorials, General Life
“The Big Bang Theory” is one of the best sitcoms I’ve watched in recent memory. For those who don’t follow it, this show is a comedy about four nerds working at the physics and science departments at a California university.

SCREW YOU APPLE!
Posted by Trisha | Filed under General Life, electronics;
I bought my iPod Touch in March as a PDA. Yes, my launch iPod Video is still alive and kickin’, yet I felt the need to buy something that had wireless and applications so I didn’t kill people when doing dosage calculations.
I’m pissed about your new Nano. Your old Nano is barely a year old! [...]

Avatar: The Sweet Gentle Skullfrak
Posted by Bryce Howard | Filed under Editorials, General Life
Many of us have experienced the violent double-dicked skullfrak that Michael Bay calls Transformers…and some of us have even suffered the terrible Spielbergian ass raping called Indiana Jones 4. Well James Cameron has just made sweet beautiful love to my eye sockets.
For 16 glorious minutes on Friday evening James Cameron lovingly cradled the back of [...]

Thoughts on the Latest Survey Labeling the Average Gamer as 35, Fat, and Bummed
Posted by Trisha | Filed under Gaming, General Life
I was shocked the other night when watching my standard nightly news to hear “new study reveals the average gamer is 35, fat, and bummed”. I didn’t get a chance to hear the whole story, so I looked up the article here on MSNBC:
