Review: “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” DVD

February 9, 2008 by Dave

Who knew one giant gorilla could cause so many problems? The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary that primarily follows the story of Steve Wiebe, a laid-off family man who sees the world record in Donkey Kong and decides that he can beat it with the arcade machine sitting in his […]

Inq. of the Week: Blub Blub Blub?

January 28, 2008 by Dave

Though they may not be able to survive in-game, Bards received the most votes for being able to survive into the next edition. I voted for them, but I have to say I’m quite surprised. Druids and Monks were right there too, which probably means that all three of these classes have a unique flavor […]

Movie Review: Cloverfield

January 19, 2008 by Bartoneus

Possibly the best way to start this review is to say: go see this movie. Cloverfield is produced by J.J. Abrams of Lost and Alias fame, and also the director of the upcoming new Star Trek movie. The inspiration for Cloverfield is that America has never really had an equivalent to a Godzilla-style story; Abrams […]

Review: I Am Legend

December 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

Even though I Am Legend came out in theaters two weeks ago on December 14th, many people have not seen it yet possibly because of the mixed reviews it has recieved.  Ever since we saw the first teaser that gave no indication of anything other than Will Smith being alone in the city, my wife […]

YouTube Tuesday: The Dark Knight Trailer

December 17, 2007 by Bartoneus

Unless you went out and saw I Am Legend over the weekend, you may not have seen the new Dark Knight trailer which is finally available online through you tube or via the movie / viral marketing website.  If you go to the website you can see and download a higher quality version, or if […]

Inq. of the Week: Pirates Ahoy

December 10, 2007 by Dave

As expected, To Hit Armor Class 0 is the best nerd rockband name ever as has been proven conclusively, and I didn’t even have to cheat. On our worldwide tour, Rock Into Mordor can open for us for coming in a respectable second. Various other band names (both real and imagined) all came in with […]

YouTubes of the Week: No Connection At All Edition

October 30, 2007 by Dave

Two videos I just had to blog about this week, but they’re both short. The first, “Mike Tyson’s Brunch Out” which is hilarious and difficult to describe. And after the jump, the first trailer for the first Dragonlance animated movie… and boy, it does not look good, despite some awesome voice talent.

"Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor… and an asskicker"

October 23, 2007 by Dave

Bartoneus, Sucilaria, and I all got to talking before the D&D game last Saturday about the new Star Trek movie. There’s some good choices, and some surprises too. Empire Online has a side by side comparison of the old actors and the new, and asks you to vote if the casting is good or not. […]
