I am a Starcraft 2 nerd, Part III

If you ever watch just one 7-game series of Starcraft 2, I highly recommend you start here and watch this:

Game 1

In this game, ThorZaIN, obviously wishing to stunt NaNiwa’s macro prowess in the long game, barely manages to bottle up NaNiwa in his home base early, but NaNiwa is not easily contained…
Game 2

…And here is [...]

I am a Starcraft 2 Nerd, Part II

I am a Starcraft 2 Nerd, Part II

Like most RTS games, the opening stages of Starcraft 2  follow a familiar pattern: Start with a base which has resources which must be gathered by vulnerable units generally called  harvesters (”probes,” “drones,” and “SCVs”).  Use the resources collected to build a wide variety of buildings, which in turn can research technologies and produce units.  [...]

Runaway - Part 4

The logical explanation was, of course, that we were hearing an animal in the leaves and brush of the woods.  Logic, however, does not often come into the mind of an eleven year old.  Ruled by impulse and imagination, I knew that there was someone in the woods who was out to get me, and [...]

It’s All Good! Part I: The Long Road to Hell

The Setup
“I hate that phrase,” our pal Jake used to say back in the ‘90s.  “The only time anyone ever says, ‘it’s all good’ is when something sucks.  If it sucks, say it fucking sucks, dammit.”
And for the most part, Jake was right, and still is.  A typical use of the phrase back then would [...]

The Art of Tyler Thomas

“My work is about being human,” says Tyler Thomas of his art. “I think about all sorts of things while working but it mostly comes down to my idea of mankind, overpopulation phobia, rage, depression, euphoria, social anxiety, repetition, and then some shit that’s like an inside joke I share with close friends.” Tyler was [...]

The Art of Elliot Downs

Elliott Downs believes that art belongs to everyone; it doesn’t have to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or be hoarded by collectors, but be avaible to everyone at reasonable prices, such as the cost of materials. Growing up with an art teacher mother and a father as the director of The Saw Mill Gallery [...]

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D, or WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HORROR FILMS OF OUR YOUTH?

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3-D, or WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HORROR FILMS OF OUR YOUTH?

3-D can’t save a shitty movie.

UPDATED!!:SPOILER ALERT!!! The Oscar Edition.

Just because you made Zodiac, Mr. Fincher, it doesn’t give you the right to shit on my eyes.

The Brooms

A bunch of fucked up kids started a band. The most caustic, kamikaze, fucked up band you could ever imagine. Gather ‘round, children, to hear their tale of sleeping under coffee tables, huffing gasoline and fucking fat chicks. Reeeeeally fat chicks. Listen up kids, for I tell the truth.
(The following interview was conducted first with [...]

Blues Review

Sonny Boy Williamson and The Yardbirds
Recorded live at the Craw Daddy Club in London in 1963, this album comes as spectacular end to Sonny Boy’s career (the Sonny Boy on this album being Rice Miller or Sonny Boy Williamson the 2nd not John Lee Williamson aka Sonny Boy Williamson the 1st) and an inspired start [...]

Let Go and Let God

Let go and let God…the words seemed to echo off my footsteps as I walked down the sidewalk.  The arrogance of the phrase was the first thing to hit me earlier as I sat in a court ordered aa meeting; to think that god’s will may only be asserted after the release of our own.  [...]

Once Again

April first, 1992, Christ returns in the ineffable image of himself; a threat to no one and nothing save perhaps green leafy vegetables, a rabbit.  In realizing his fate he knew that the word could not be silenced.  His burden?  Testify.  He ran back to the rabbitry and searched hutch by hutch spreading the news.
“I [...]

My Dark Confession: I am a Starcraft 2 watcher.

Recently I cast my television to the dustbin of history (currently my living room floor).  Now, when I want mindful entertainment, I turn to live feeds and replays of the remarkable strategy game by Blizzard, Starcraft 2.
SC2 is a real-time strategy game (RTS) which allows humans to play [...]

As Long As They Leave Valiant Alone I’ll Be Cool

Brett Ratner, purveyor of such fine films as Rush Hour and Madonna:The Video Collection 93-99, just got his dirty little hands on ‘Youngblood’, the Rob Liefeld written comic book series held by Image. Ratner sees the the book, about super powered humans working for the government, as big screen business for some strange reason. From [...]

Alright Universal, You’re On Watch

Variety reports that the Mensa Academy, er uhm, I mean Univeral Pictures, are planning on bringing the infamous board game Candy Land to the big screen. Ethan Cohen (not that Ethan Cohen) is set to write with Kevin Lima directing. Why, you ask? I couldn’t even begin to explain.

And just what the hell is going on with this G. I. Joe movie?

And just what the hell is going on with this G. I. Joe movie?

So who is this guy? He’s not listed in the cast as of yet and USA Today says that Joseph Gordon Levitt is playing multiple roles, including Cobra Commander. He also said something about prosthetics and how the producers didn’t want to go with the original look because it was too much like a [...]
