The aptly named Can’t Stop is the defining game of the “Push Your Luck” genre. These type of games tend to be typified by one decision: go on, or crash? The absolute simplest push your luck game I have heard called Pig. You take a 6 sided die. Roll it. If it is a 1-5, […]

All Glory to the Anime Hypnotoad!
According to THE BEAT, the artist who posted her work online turning The Simpsons and Futurama into manga-style got herself signed to a deal with the makers of The Simpsons comics… and may get to work on the upcoming Futurama series. Now THAT is an Internet success story. Though it comes from the often-not-accurate Ain’t […]
52 #37: I Take It All Back, DC
Warning: Herein I am spoiling the complete issue of DC’s 52 issue 37. It’s, in my opinion, the best issue of the series so far with a few shocking revelations. If you want to enjoy them for yourself, do not read any further. If you don’t follow 52 and want to find out what happens, […]
The Flagellation of the Artist
Really the end of a series here, recounting my New Years Resolutions, there was actually a discussion with Abekkus (Abe for short, though that’s not his name…) about precisely how self-referential this should get. I decided to keep it on the mild side and go with a tastey quote for your taste buds. Bonus points to […]
Announcing… Critical Hits 4.0 (beta)
Welcome to the new edition of Critical Hits, version 4.0. The old theme was getting a little old, so we thought we’d mix it up and add some features we’ve wanted for a while. There’s still some work to be done, but we wanted to launch it while it was at least operational. Here’s some […]
The Top Reason to Choose Netflix (over Blockbuster)
In the last year many of my friends have started using Netflix, which really makes me happy because one of the best features of Netflix is their website and the friends features that it offers. I have always had a big problem with them, though, because a lone friend of mine started using the similar […]
YouTube of the Week: Long Time Ago, Galaxy Without Sound Edition
A short cut of Star Wars as if it were a silent film, to balance last week’s 40 minute long epic with lots of sounds.
Inq. of the Week: Television
This week’s Inquisition comes direct from my latest obsession, which would be the Battlestar Galactica season 1 and 2 dvd’s that The Main Event lent me. All I really knew beforehand was that it was a remake of an older 70’s tv show which I’d seen a re-run or two of and was generally disinterested […]

The Cardinal Sin of Multiplayer Videogames (as demonstrated by Rayman's Raving Rabbids)
I’m probably using “cardinal sin” wrong here, but it’s certainly the highest issue on my list. I mainly buy videogames for multiplayer, which is one of the main reasons that I love the Wii so much. I’m sure the PS3 and Xbox 360 will have some good multiplayer titles, but I know I’m not going […]
