Oh, yes, lets! I have always thought that "Trial by Jury" was the weakest of G&S productions, but it was the first so much can be forgiven. And I know it's horribly crass and obvious, but I still have a fondness for "The Pirates of Penzance".

"Spoofing" the email address so that it seems like it comes from somewhere else is one of the most common SPAM tricks. I get emails from all sorts of interesting people, including myself. If you look at the actual email headers you can see from where they truly originate. Most SPAM filters...

I have literally had Netflix DVDs sitting on the shelf for a month without watching them. I always seem to have something else I'd want to do, and the DVD could always "wait for later". That's why I ended up switching to the streaming-only service. There was little point to paying for...

The Splashtop Remote Desktop app is available through the Amazon Appstore, so I don't see why you couldn't run in on your Kindle Fire. (I snagged it when it was the "Free app of the day.") Running it automatically re-sizes your display to fit the tablet, so you don't have to scroll the...

This show has just been steadily getting better. The preview showed promise, and it seems to be living up to that promise. Where's the +1 button?

This is all well and good, but where is PvZ 2??? You'd think they were Valve with how long the promised sequel is taking!

For now, it looks like the image can still be seen here: http://screenrant.com/dark-knight-rises-catwoman-images-kofi-164297/dark-knight-rises-catwoman-anne-hathaway-image/ Of course, this will probably become a Cat and Mouse game as the studio chases down all of the sites with...

This is interesting. Where is Easter an actual holiday off from work/school? I have lived my whole life in Washington State in the U.S., and I have never had any time off because of Easter. I'm working today (can't you tell?), and I will be at work on Monday. My son has the week off from...

Agreed. Maybe some goofy music cues can soften the tone, but as it stands, the scene with the crook just feels way too much like a bully saying, "Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?" Not Spider-Man.

For those people who are looking for a board game group near them, I recommend going to http://www.meetup.com/ You can put in your city, and what you are interested in (try "Euro Games" for this example), then find out if there are any groups near you. I have found that the board games...

I second the recommendation for Project Gutenberg. They have Kindle format books available right on the site, so you can just surf to the book page, and download it right there! As for some ideas for specific books, how about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? All of the Sherlock Holmes books are on...

I think that a type of Video Game to Movie translation that would work well would be movies that just take place in the same world as a game. Thus giving you the ability to create an interesting story without taking too much away from what made the original great. Take, for example, a...

I was mostly asking for specifically Portal-like games, because he loves it so much. We have other games we play, and quite often he just likes to watch me play, but he wants more games that are like Portal. He's six and I'm his Dad, so I'm supposed to be able to conjure these things out of...

Thank you again. Although we've already played PvZ and World of Goo to death, I will definitely check out Cogs and Machinarium. At least now I'll have a couple of options when he says, "Dad, I want another game like Portal." :-D

Q.U.B.E. looks good! Similar aesthetic and gameplay to Portal. I'll also look at Rayman Origins, when it's released for the PC. I suppose I should have specified, we're a PC gaming family. :) Dark Souls... Hehe, not so much. Thanks for the suggestions so far. If anyone else has any...
