So Scott Pilgrim is both an awesome graphic novel and a kickass movie. But wait, there’s more! Scott Pilgrim also has a game for the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade called Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game. I bought it, played it, and beat it. So is it any good? It’s Scott Pilgrim [...]
I’ve been thinking about Pokemon a lot lately. Part of this is because of the nice commenters on the Best Of and Worst Of Pokemon lists I posted a while ago. People were mad about which ten I liked best, and equally mad about the ten I liked least. So I figured I’d finally come [...]
Since writing an overview of poker for the uninitiated, I have noticed how commonplace it is to find someone who has not played the traditional board games that populated my youth. But I think everyone is familiar with Yahtzee.
Origins and Comparisons
The official game began as an activity aboard a Canadian couple’s yacht in 1954 (dubbed [...]
The whole point of a Pokemon game is to catch, train, battle, and evolve Pokemon, right? Naturally. Most of the time you learn your Pokemon is evolving and think, “Right on! This will be SWEET!” But every so often you have to sit down and make the tough choice: “Do I REALLY want to evolve [...]
Sure, video games and various electronic diversions are available now. Who would want to find a pack of playing cards and start up a poker game when you can flip out your cell phone and play video space poker?

I’m in a tough place here. On the one hand, I’m a huge fan of the Scott Pilgrim comic series. On the other hand, I just saw the live action version starring Michael Cera, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and I’m a fan of that, too. So how shall this movie review go down? Like [...]
Hey, didn’t I just do a Comic Book Club? Yes, it looks like I did. While I still recommend reading Stitches, I’ve got something completely different yet similar in a strange way for y’all today. Familiar with Omega the Unknown? Well, you’re about to be, so let’s get this Comic Book Club session going.
A few [...]
I take great pride in my luck finding really cool comics/graphic novels outside the common knowledge. Have you read Watchmen? Yeah, probably. What about DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths? Pretty good chance of that, too. But what about Stitches? Aha! I’ve got you, haven’t I? Good, because for today’s Comic Book Club selection we have [...]
Computers were nothing more than an advanced video game system when I was a young boy. My brother had his sports games (“NBA Jam” mostly) and I had “Star Wars: Tie Fighter.”
Released in 1994, “Tie Fighter” was the sequel to “Star Wars: X-Wing” and was the first Star Wars game that put you in the [...]
We live in a very sophisticated day and age (note that age never precedes day) in which gaming has been taken to a whole new level, no pun intended . Okay, maybe pun intended just a little. As I sit here in my shorts without a shirt, listening to the yappy dog right outside my [...]
