The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-29-08
Well, as I promised last week, this week’s selection is not your normal pick(s) of the week. No, as you’re reading this, I’m lugging furniture and boxes around my wife and my new house, while you’re sitting comfortably in a chair-you know, it would have been nice if you at least offered to help us [...]
Project Silence Podcast 21: Rough LaBeouf
It’s Memorial Day in the Project Silence Studios (which is actually just a spare bedroom), and we are together again to talk about the latest in Geek Culture, movies, video games and more. Tune in for talk about changes to the Xbox Live Marketplace, 90 minute Metal Gear Solid cut scenes, the success of a [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-21-08
A huge week of releases this week, and pound for pound, one of the best in recent memory. A full compliment of books, ranging from a multitude of publishers, and the quality was at a high. While my individual write-up for each may prove a bit shorter for each than usual, just know that these [...]
Project Silence Podcast 20: Blade Runner Exists
The twentieth episode of the Project Silence Podcast brings surprise after surprise. Plus the usual movie reviews, game talk, the new Netflix player, Jack Thompson and more!
I Live in the Bizzaro Universe
As a lifelong fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, I still don’t know how I feel about the fact one of my favorite players of the past ten years is now playing for the enemy. I know it’s the way the game works now a days, players won’t play for the same team forever, but [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-14-08
A small week of releases for me this week, made smaller by the sell-out of Amazing Spider-Man at my store. Surprisingly though, even with the smaller amount of books picked up this week, two still rose to the top as picks for the week. The first pick for the week is Casanova #14. Matt Fraction’s [...]
I’m Pretty Sure I Am Being Advertised To
Please, make it stop. I’d be Okay with an Iron Man Burger, but I just can’t stomach (ha ha, I’m punny!), a Whopper based on Indian Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Everywhere I look, I’m being bombarded with advertisements, trailers, posters and stupid people talking about how great it is to [...]
An Open Letter to UbiSoft Montreal
Hey, guys. I love your work. Bugs and all, your games are pound for pound, hour for hour the most fun I have had with my Xbox 360. There’s just one little thing that bugs me, and after talking to Brian for a bit tonight, it bugs him to, so lets go ahead and fix [...]
10 Million Potential Red Rings of Death
Historically the first console to reach 10 million units in sales wins the generation. While this generation feels completely different, mostly because the early guy (360) continues to be plagued by hardware issues, and the late guys (Wii and PS3) either started incredibly strong, or are finally starting to come on very strong, Microsoft is [...]
Hulk Smashs, Internationally
The new International Hulk trailer is up. I really have no idea how I feel about the upcoming Hulk movie, all the footage I’ve seen so far really reminds me of the Ang Lee Hulk film. Is it too soon for another Hulk? Ed Norton is a great choice, but will he even be given [...]
