God, Are You Listening?

May 16, 2007 by Bartoneus

If you are, then on May 19th Blizzard will announce Starcraft II.  Right now they are doing their typical hype-building site countdown; this time (as you’ll see if you visit their site) they have been counting all week through their titles from Warcraft & Warcraft II to presently Diablo II.  The original Starcraft was yesterday’s, with […]

Inq. of the Week: Spiderman 4?

May 7, 2007 by Bartoneus

Two weeks ago we asked you which spring/summer movies you are looking forward to.  The majority easily went to Spiderman 3, which many of us have now seen (and possibly disliked).  Coming in second place was Pirates 3: At World’s End, which makes me believe we all just have a thing for trilogies, and then […]

Spiderman 3: The Verdict?

May 4, 2007 by Bartoneus

I’m going to keep this short and relatively vague so as to not ruin anything for everyone who has not seen Spiderman 3 yet.  The gist:  Spiderman 3 is a good movie, with some very terrible parts to it. I still recommend going to see it, inevitably most of you would do so no matter […]

This is (Not) a Tribute

April 18, 2007 by Bartoneus

At the behest of one Scott Kurtz we have created this week’s comic, yes that’s right I say we because Dave had as much a helping hand in this one as I did.  Hazzah collaboration!  We have taken a slight alteration to it, of course, and featured my beautiful new kitteh as well.  The praying cat […]

To Brighten the Day

April 16, 2007 by Bartoneus

That Jack Thompson will not stop at attempting to fully insert his foot fully into his mouth, no matter what. Thankfully, some excellent truth-seeking coverage is provided by Kotaku, if you look hard enough you can find a hidden message in their ‘Read More’ section: (Read it like one long sentence. Obviously via Kotaku and […]

Inq. of the Week: Transformers!

April 16, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week Dave asked you what length of board game you prefered, and the consensus looks to have come out that most of you prefer 20 minute to 1 hour long games, after that 1-4 hour and the insanely quick less then 1 minute long games.  Surprisingly no one hates boardgames, and no one likes […]

Thursday Mini-Nerd-News Update

April 12, 2007 by Bartoneus

Greetings everyone!  New stuff from the last two days: Movie-list has posted the newest full Spiderman 3 trailer which we had the pleasure of seeing before the joy of seeing 300, and you should definitely check it out.  The ending is the best part, and you get a much better sense of how Venom is going […]

They Call Me Monsieur Blob

April 4, 2007 by Bartoneus

While making fun of Dave has become status quo for me, laying on thick while he’s out of town is not exactly beneath me.  The original plan was to have a whole new banner at the top of the page for the whole week, but he has complete control of that.  Since I’m not the […]

Inq. of the Week: Showdown

April 2, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week we determined that it is a parent’s responsibility to teach a child what is right and wrong, and in so doing may responsibly decide what their child gets to watch as far as violence, sex, etc. on tv and in movies.  We also determined that some people dislike the term “melting pot”, that […]

Trivial Pursuits

March 29, 2007 by Bartoneus

Continuing our obsessive week of 300, I wanted to post some interesting trivia about the movie.  I am consistently amazed at the number of people who don’t know about or go to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), but my college roomate/movie-guru Kyle showed it to my wife and I one day and we were hooked.  […]
