The one good thing that’s come out of the writer’s strike is that I’ve been watching a lot of canned video lately that I might not have otherwise watched. These are shows that have been on my list for awhile but due to the constant stream of “fresh television” haven’t had time to get into them.
No, no, it’s still kinda broken… Worse, I tried watching The Bourne Ultimatum on the HD-DVD player and it crapped-out halfway through the movie. There was an available update for the HD-DVD player which I didn’t dare apply because of all the wonkiness. After some cursing and wringing of the remote, I pulled the disc [...]
Well, sort of. We were still having some issues with it last night, but prod and I were able to sign in (and stay signed in) until the wee small hours playing Halo. I made it to level 30 in Team Doubles! So, thanks Major Nelson and the hard-working team(s) at Microsoft’s super-sekrit Xbox LIVE [...]
Got back from the East last night after a harrowing drive through wintery conditions to settle into my couch for some much-needed Xboxing with my homeys. Prod and I managed to play a couple games of Virtua Fighter 5 before getting unceremoniously dropped from Xbox Live. At first I figured it was local network problems [...]

It’s been made more bearable by good reading and fine scotch. Over the holidays, I read Charles Stross‘ Glasshouse and thoroughly enjoyed it. It continues to amaze [...]
This year, especially the latter half of it has been a big one for gamers. Halo 3 made its long-awaited appearance on the Xbox 360. Bioshock was a bit of a surprise hit with its grim, art deco design and creepy atmosphere. Mass Effect from BioWare is a great scifi RPG. Call of Duty 4 [...]
While I’m somewhat incapacitated with some seasonal allergies, I thought I’d take a few minutes to write about the movie I just watched for the first time since it was in theatres 10 years ago: “Alien: Resurrection“. I just read a fairly lengthy interview with Joss Whedon on the Onion’s AV Club and thought I’d [...]
That’s right. The mostly absent Jackson Publick updated his blog this week giving a few tantalizing details. The good news is that my favorite science genius and his two crime-fighting sons are going to be back on a screen somewhere in the not-too-distant future. Maybe in the new year or something. I dunno, I’m just [...]
