It takes a lot of determination and sacrifice to follow one’s dreams. The game developers at Whole Hog Games know that as well as anyone. Working on their first project, Full Bore, has been a labor of love and though they couldn’t imagine doing anything else, it hasn’t all been […]

Steam’s Annual Sales Do Weird Things To Me and I Have the Backlog to Prove It
I love Steam. I really do. I bow down to Gabe Newell and Valve. Top notch thinking there. But as much as I love Steam, their annual sales do things to me. Before my friend Tom convinced me to get an account I had never been much of a computer […]
Skyfall is not an “action packed” movie, but it is an awesome espionage film.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kw1UVovByw] It doesn’t lack explosions, but Skyfall is not a classic action movie.

Why I’m going to cry like a little girl when Assassin’s Creed III comes out
Assassin’s Creed has got to be one of my most favorite video game series in the world. So much so that I have considered getting a PS Vita for the pure reason just to play the AC: Liberation game, well that’s one of the reasons. I’m not saying it’s a […]
Top Ten Most Bizarre Things in True Blood Season 5
I’m not even sure if bizarre is the right word, but True Blood always brings with it many awkward and arousing moments each season. I’m not sure if this season takes the cake for weird, because anyone who has even heard of this show knows just the preliminary information can […]
