The local paper was nice enough to give my friend Ed of Saturnine Games an interview.

Check out the link Here.

I've been there. It's all true.

James Rolfe is one of my fav internet personalities. He's best thing in my opinion, is not the Angry Nerd, but the yearly tribute to horror movies he does each October.

Blade Runner

I have to say I disagree with many things. Star Wars should not qualify as they are more fantasy than Science Fiction. Also, I'm not a fan of Blade Runner--at least the theatrical cut. I will not deny the importance of the film, but I just don't think it should be number 1.

Here is another video from my hero, the Happy Video Game Nerd. It's a nice tribute to gaming. I've left my own comments on it already, but want everyone here to enjoy it.

It's just so wrong. I know people hate global warming. I know polar bears are supposed to be victims. But this is just absurd.

First off, polar bears DO NOT get stranded on ice blocks because the CAN SWIM. A fact that we can clearly see in this video. Second, the only way the bear would know he's driving a low-emissions car would be to read. Assuming all that is true, why wouldn't the bear just eat that guy and take the keys to that awesome Nissan?

I'm not mad that this ad promotes global warming, I'm mad that it promotes the idea that mother nature is completely impotent and that the only thing in the universe capable of doing any damage or wrong is mankind. Mother nature kills people on a massive scale.

My fav reviewer, the Happy Video Game Nerd is talking about a good WiiWare game.

I have a sordid history with Joshua Lesnick that I wont' get into here. But I will take this opportunity to plug his long-running and awesome webcomic, Girly. I'm choosing today because he has reached the climax of his biggest storyline. It's worth checking out.

Josh has done other webcomics like Wendy and Cute Wendy. He also did a few pages of guest comic in Scott Pilgram.

Yo.
Just a tidbit of information, I came across this website called Just Achieve It! where you can make your own achievements and embed them into a site.

Here is a tribute video I made for the Incredible Hulk. It was made as a birthday present for a good friend of mine whom is a big Hulk fan. I tried to include all the things that have made Hulk great over the years. This video was on Youtube, but they took it down. I'm hosting it now myself.

NOTE: THIS VIDEO IS LARGE, IT WILL TAKE TIME TO LOAD!
