    What's your age, and what are you currently most concerned about?

    32, almost 33. My biggest worry is being able to have kids. My wife and I have been trying for over a year and so far nothing. She has some medical problems that make her cycle erratic at the best of times and we are getting worried that we might not be able to conceive without expensive...

    Shogo: Mobile Armor Division- Less Than Mechcellent

    Really? I loved Shogo. The cheesy sci-fi anime story, voice acting and music were great. I really didn't hate the combat, it was standard for late 90's fare 3D shooters. Whatever happened to Monolith, I wonder. I liked a lot of their early 2000 games like Shogo and Septerra Core.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 15: "Yes Men" Recap

    Most likely May is chatting with Nick Fury, remember, he "Moved Heaven and Earth" to save Coulson....he ain't putting a watchdog on the Bus? Yeah, it's going to turn out to be Fury and that our plucky heroes are a part of Nick's insurance policy against a hostile/corrupting takeover of...

    Villains you would join if given the choice between them and the "good guys".

    Doctor Doom. Seriously, he's the one genius in the Marvel Universe that not only invents useful tech but SHARES IT WITH HIS PEOPLE. The people of Latveria are all well fed, 100% employment and probably all have free fiber optic internet on their quantum computers. Yeah, there is a distinct...

    Electronic Arts: Greed Is Not the Problem

    A-fucking-men, Seamus, a-fucking-men. Some consultant needs to read this wholly to EA's Board of Directors stat. They'll probably get fired, because no one survives telling truth to power, but it seriously needs to be said. Most of EA's problems seem to stem from too much micromanagement ( or...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 13: T.R.A.C.K.S.

    Well it's pretty obvious that Skye isn't Asgardian seeing as bullets didn't bounce off her like they do others. I think they are doing a new Spider-Woman origin, which is pretty cool seeing as how comic Spider-Woman is too damned complicated to keep straight in regard to which woman she is, what...

    Disney Making Live-Action Chip 'n' Dale Film

    And now we shall have a new generation of furries arise thanks to cg Gadget. Why make it a cgi hybrid? Are they going to make the detective with the bulldog the human character that teaches the chipmunks how to detect?

    The Big Picture: The Devil You Know - Part I

    I kinda wished Bob had focused more on the fact that the devil is more of a middle-management underling to God, who exists to be a tempter and distraction to people and that there was no grand evil opposite to God until the Book of Revelation (which is such utter crap, but very fertile ground...

    Poll: Help Deciding Which Series to Read Next

    I voted for The Night Angel trilogy, but I also have to recommend the Acts of Caine series by Matthew Stover. Good fantasy, plenty of ass kicking and quotable quotes.

    Michael Douglas Joins Ant-Man As Hank Pym

    But will he be abusing his wife in this version? I kid, kinda. But if Pym is going to be in his 70's, then Janet is certainly going to have to be revamped as someone who is not his wife. Because really, Michael Douglas being paired with a woman 30 years younger is just too unbelievable.

    Mountain Dew Cheetos: The Next Big Snacking Sensation

    Living in Japan.....yeah, this does not surprise me in the least. The weird and crappy flavors they have in otherwise normal products are just astounding. While writing this I just got done eating some Honey-butter flavoured potato chips and I can remember having smoked-bacon flavoured ones...

    Steam Machine By Digital Storm Will Cost You $1900

    Is it sad that I'm looking at the pics for this box and the only thing I can focus on is that the designers put the fans on the wrong side of the radiator? NEVER do push on a radiator, all the dust and crap gets lodged between the fan and radiator and you have to disassemble the thing to clean...

    MovieBob's Re-Tales: Blockbusted

    Bob, your memories are my memories. I worked at Blockbuster from 1999 to 2000, just out of High School, and dear god was it a shit job. To this day I have Blockbuster TV audio loops stuck in my head. I remember that the drama section is where the softcore porn was kept and that nobody wanted to...

    Witcher 3 to be DRM free

    I'm going to buy a physical Special Edition pc copy. I loved the one for Witcher 2, I can freaking kill a man with Geralt's bust. Steam as DRM never bothers me like it did when Valve first released it. For one thing, it's only DRM in the way that digital distribution normally is, i.e. you...

    FAA Officially Approves Electronics Use Throughout Flights

    Seriously? We have known this for decades. The FAA has specific frequencies that all their equipment uses and are locked down so that NO mass-produced commercial electronic uses them. No common electronic device has ever posed a threat to an airplane, anybody with half a brain knows that. That's...
