Y-you didn't like a movie that I liked? Oh... oh, GOD! I just-- I don't know how to face the rest of today, let alone the endless march of time lined up behind it, with something like that hanging over my head. How could I have missed this? Obviously my taking enjoyment from a movie that...

Review: New International Track and Field For everyone who has ever wondered how well Silent Hill's Pyramid Head would fare in the 100-meter dash, there is New International Track and Field. Read Full Article

Not to be an obsessive, fanboyish nitpick, but wasn't the "Ghostbusters" game supposed to take an 'unofficial third film' role in the series mythos as opposed to being a rehash of the original? Anyway, WHY!? Why would they do this!? All is suffering and despair; my world is but a brittle...

Review: Turok (Xbox 360) "The combination of over-the-top alien weaponry with the hands-off, only-in-the-manual approach to storytelling left an oddly flavorful impression on me. It boiled itself down to the essentials: Go forward, kill everything. It?s an uncomplicated formula, and I assumed...

This article manages to take base, seemingly everyday words from the English language and stack or smash them together in such a way as to create a potent and palatable deliciousness. I demand more Colin Roswell.

Thankfully, I'd stopped watching broadcast with any semblance of regularity long before it sank into gnashing fits of madness. Though the loss of Scrubs mid-final-season hit me pretty hard. Nowadays I have books of H.P. Lovecraft short stories, my weekly comic book regiment and The Adventures...

Oh God... he did Onslaught Reborn? I didn't read it, but I did regard it disdainfully from a safe distance.

I can't tell from your tone; are you joking or is that supposed to be a shot at his work? I mean, isn't a character-driven story a good thing? Personally, I've never regretted purchasing any of Loeb's work, especially the collaborations with Tim Sale. Batman: The Long Halloween and Dark...

No, actually; I've never been much for renting. It's part of the great foundation of personal neuroses that my life is built upon -- such as how I refuse to touch mustard and am intensely distrustful of people taller than me. I just like owning the games. I'm what retailers would refer to as...
