I've been to over a dozen conventions during this increasingly long adult life of mine (I'm not even the prime demographic anymore ;_; ), and I swear some of the planning my friends and I have done felt like we were scoping out a bank heist. "Meet up by the Food Court at 11:25, coordinate who...

I've heard a lot of good things about the new edition and I really want to give it a try. However, with my vision loss over the last few decades (TLDR: neurological damage, not correctable, everything past less than 12 inches is a blur), I used to make use of a lot of companies releasing their...

I look forward to this each year, and I love how most of the segments are now uploaded to YouTube. Wanted to see a call-in guest but had to work? It's there! Missed an auction? Watch the barbs get thrown around whenever you want. Can't figure out how a meme formed while you were asleep...

Admittedly, I was a bit surprised by this week's selection. I was looking forward to a Nightcrawler review or maybe Horns (if there was a need for a bit of WTFness). Seeing Ouija come up in the feed was unexpected and, by the time it was over, it sounded like MB might need a palette cleanser...

Having heard about this, it makes me doubt the validity of the previous coverage I'd seen of this game. It may be legitimately good, it might not be. Given that there's language that essentially says "make sure you mention this and keep it good (or else)", I have no way of knowing with...

Curse you and your word economy. Said most of what I wanted to say in half the lines. I bow my head in shame. ;_; Still, I'd tune in for a cross between "The Purge" and "Men At Work". Heck, it could serve as a storytelling device for an anthology of smaller/quirkier crimes. "Hey...

It's good to hear that this movie is working more with the premise of the original. However, a chunk of the laundry list Bob mentioned in the beginning could be explained by a combination of precedence and time. The first Purge had people who weren't sure if it was "really a thing", so they...

I was preparing for college when that came out. When my teenaged nephew saw me listening to this, he said he'd never seen the movie. I was about to fix that blasphemous oversight when I realized he was only 13. It's going on the To Do list when he graduates. It also reminded me I was getting...

Having gone through the original subtitled Crunchyroll feed, there were clearly going to be challenges bringing it to the States. It was this previous season's "Attack on Titan"; you didn't have to see it to at least be aware of it. On the one hand, there's clearly a demand for the title. On...

Reading that sentence, I can see how I could've phrased it differently. When I was mentioned what meals I cooked, I didn't include my breakfasts (either cereal or a piece of fruit instead of a pre-packaged fruit bar) or how many of my lunches are leftovers from the night before. I make pizza...

After my gallbladder had to be removed late last year, I was put on a post-surgery diet. For the first week or so, I couldn't eat anything but beans, rice, applesauce, and toast. When I was finally cleared to eat "normal" food again, I took out many of the obvious suspects (daily TV dinners...

It's a weird feeling. I remember all of these and owned more than half. Add a few friends and that was all of them in one bundle. It "helped" that I had a divorced dad who thought he could buy loyalty/happiness from an 8-10-year-old. I hate to say that, for a while, it worked. =/ Gotta...

Unfortunately, it isn't April Fools (tacky as it would be). It made the gaming media rounds yesterday. Doesn't make it any less disappointing. I'm taking a "wait and see" approach to the Oculus/FB deal, but I don't see how trying to coerce employees with implied violence actually leads to the...

For the back-of-the-book version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaupload_legal_case . The back-of-the-teabag version (attach "alleged" to everything as needed): Money laundering comes from him lumping administrative and website hosting costs in with questionably legal file sharing costs so...

If it's any consolation, VD: I've been a native speaker for more than 30 years, and I didn't get most of the aside on the first playthrough, either. I was really hoping for subtitles at that point, so I could do the timed pauses I do during most of the "Escape to the Movies" credit sequences.
