The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-27-10
A large week of releases this week, with a pretty average level of quality. Honestly, nothing truly stood out, but my pick for the week had just enough that it got the nod.
Your pick for this week is Daredevil #504. Continuing the new direction the new creative team has cooked up, this issue pleasantly surprised [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-20-10
A huge week of releases this week, with a ton of great reads. With all that said, one book really stood out, and deserves some extra attention.
Your pick for the week is Joe the Barbarian #1. Continuing Vertigo’s commitment to bringing you 1st issues at the low price of just $1, this series from the [...]
Blu-ray Disc Demonstration
Here’s my take on those Blu-ray disc demonstrations that play before most DVD’s and Blu-ray’s today. I also took this as an opportunity to poke a little fun at NBC and their current late night mess.
This one’s for 18 and over. Wait for nap time.
Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer
Let’s take a break from the mess that is NBC to talk about something good that will happen this year. Video Game part 2’s, starting with Mass Effect 2 are looking like they’ll kick all kinds of ass all year long.
I’m not the kind of guy who runs out and buys games on day one [...]
The “Tonight Show” is Great…FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!
Well, it’s offical now. Conan O’Brien will leave NBC and the Tonight Show this Friday.
Jay Leno is a Liar. Pants Are on Fire (but his comedy never is)
Here’s an interesting clip from 2004 where Jay announces how he will gracefully retire from The Tonight Show in 2009. Talking about his Tonight Show takeover he said, “there was a lot of animosity between me and Dave, and who was gonna get it. A lot of good friendships were permanently damaged and I don’t [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 1-13-10
A very small week of releases this week for me, only a total of two books. Usually that will mean a trade-paperback selection for my pick of the week. This week though, one of the books really seemed to resonate and really deserved to be highlighted. What was it you ask? Read on.
Your pick this [...]
Jimmy Kimmel Destroys Jay Leno on His Own Show
I’ve never had as much respect for Jimmy Kimmel as I do right now. He went on Jay Leno’s Show and absolutely destroyed him for basically screwing over Conan. Kudos to you Jimmy! Since the news (Huffington Post) is reporting that NBC is paying Conan to part ways, I will no longer watch NBC late [...]
Choose Your Own Just Cause 2 Adventure
Here’s a really cleaver (both creatively and technically) way to get people to look at your game. Take those old Choose Your Own Adventure books format and bring it into they year 2010. The really amazing thing is that it actually works.
Just Cause was a pretty under-rated little gem for those who found it. It [...]
The Late Knight
I won’t watch a Tonight Show without Conan O’Brien. The show is as funny and entertaining as it has been in years, but since NBC can’t get their house in order they’re using Conan as a scape goat. Switch to another network Conan, your audience will follow.
