August 9, 2007 by Dave

Title: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay Author: Michael Chabon Year of Publication: 2000 Genre: Fiction Length: 656 Rating: 4/5 – Worth paying full price.

Nerd News Update 8/8/07

August 8, 2007 by Bartoneus

There is a Warcraft Movie Blog, and it has some psuedo-news gathered through what I assume was some form of scrying or dark ritual performed at Blizzcon.  Today at BlizzCon 2007 we have heard our first solid and interesting information with regards to the Warcraft, or to some, the World of Warcraft Movie. This movie […]

Review: The Bourne Ultimatum

August 6, 2007 by drscotto

This weekend I had a chance to see the final movie of the Matt Damon is a Badass trilogy, better known as The Bourne Ultimatum. I am unexplainably compelled to watch trilogies, and I was no different with respect to Bourne. Here is a relatively spoiler-free review of this movie. In the final chapter of […]

August 6, 2007 by Bartoneus

Web Comics

August 5, 2007 by The Chatty DM

While discussing about Webcomics with my friends the other day I got the idea of listing the ones I read regularly and those I have read in the past. Comics I created (hey, self promotion, it works!) The Life of a Suburban Overlord: My One-panel Photo webcomic about an underachieving Evil Overlord trying to make […]

Battlestar Galactica

August 3, 2007 by The Chatty DM

I know I’m 3 years late but last night I sat down with my wife and popped the 1st disk of Season 1 of BSG. We were hooked after the 1st 5 minutes. I thought the 1st episode was a 2 hour pilot, turns out it was a 4 hour film!!!!!! Now I know why […]

Survival Guide to Florida

August 1, 2007 by Bartoneus

I apologize for my absence, I’ve been spending the whole week knee-deep in putrid water being eaten alive by the most vicious bugs since the plagues. At least that’s how I imagined Florida would be, even though I’ve been here many times before every time I anticipate the trip I cannot help but return to […]

Got Sunshine?

August 1, 2007 by guest

All hell has apparently broken out at Critical Hits, because a food blogger is posting… I contacted Das Game last week after returning from a late opening night showing of Sunshine begging to be allowed to post my thoughts on the film and with his just and merciful hand has allowed me to do so, […]

YouTube of the Week: Dun Dun Dunnnn Edition

July 31, 2007 by Dave
