I’m a huge fan of Halloween - moreso now than I was as a kid. Sure, recharging your Trick or Treat energies through a downed Giant Pixie Stick at the intersection of Gale and Linus Streets has its charms - but it wasn’t until my latter years - somewhere around the point I hit my [...]

Good news for fans of Lorne Lanning’s Oddworld games. Lanning had originally stated he was leaving the games industry when EA gave Oddworld Stranger a poor marketing push - citing the industry climate of choosing franchise potential over originality.

It’s no secret that in a show rich with character, John Locke is my favorite. It goes back to the pilot episode, where Locke was first seen with his sinister scar freshly etched across his eye. As Kate stared at him across the beach - he locked eyes with her and opened his grin to reveal [...]

This is about a week overdue and in the interest of catching up, I’ve decided to mash-up weeks two and three into a double posting.
The more I’m watching some of these new shows, the more I’m finding I like my old favorites more. I guess it can take some time to get acclimated to new [...]

Two episodes down… only four more to go. While I like the fact that we have an uninterrupted run of 16 new episodes coming in early February 2007, now that we have had a little nibble, I’m not sure I can wait the three months for the main course to arrive. All good things come [...]

As strong as this new television season has begun - with some promising starts put forth by the stud rookies (including Friday Night Lights, Heroes and Kidnapped (pause for a moment of silence) - there’s something so comforting about being reacquainted with old friends. In the days preceding the third season premiere of Lost (Weds [...]
