So with PAX fast approaching I thought it might be fun to cover my favorite PAX 10 success story. For those of you not familiar with the PAX 10 every year the people who run PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) chose 10 independently developed games to showcase as part of the expo. In 2008 one of those games was The Maw from a then little know developer by the name of Twisted Pixel. Thanks to that choice

So I have been shirking my responsibilities to this blog lately and for that I say, I am sorry. In my defense it is the slowest month of the year for game news and summer TV shows are just getting rolling. That's my defense, but it's not the reason I haven't been keeping up. I have been watching every episode of In Plain Sight I could get my hands on. For those of you who are unfamiliar with

All right, so we've done the big boys, time for little brother. The CW is the bastard child of TV. It has however managed to be slowly claw it's way into quite a bit of viewership in the last few years, especially with the ever sought after younger viewer. With shows like Gossip Girl, which is really just a younger skin on Sex in the City, and Vampire Diaries, aka the TV version of Twilight,

So back to TV. This time it's my favorite (please read with heavy sarcasm) network, FOX. Yep, I really think that FOX has been short sighted in the past with shows that could have had legs if given the time to pick up an audience. But I have bitched about that in great detail before so this will not be a look back but rather a look forward to what FOX with be offering us this fall. First up is

Alright, so I'm back. I took last week off since it was E3 week and I wanted to just soak it all up before I wrote about it. So this post will be about some of the new things and upcoming games I found most exciting from E3. I will break it up into the big three (Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo) this time and I will follow up in a couple days with the games that really stood out to me. Let start

Alright, it's CBS's turn this week. Just to let you know up front. This is a pretty short list. It should be since CBS seems to have struck gold at least once a year for the last four years. Over the last four years they have added Big Bang Theory, The Mentalist, Hawaii Five-O, The Good Wife, and popular spin off NCIS: Los Angeles. Those shows bolstered a line up that already included perennial

Alright, NBCs turn. Their fall line-up is definitely not what I would call strong, but there are a few standouts. So, without further delay.... First up is one that is near and dear to me on a few levels. Grimm comes from David Greenwalt, who worked on Buffy before he helped to create Angel. That is a pretty damn good pedigree so I am willing to give this show some room to breathe. The trailer

So, I realize that a large part of the people reading this missed Alan Wake completely. Who can blame you? It was released the same day as Red Dead Redemption, which went on to win numerous game of the year awards. It was pure misfortune for Remedy and Microsoft that Red Dead was moved to that day, overshadowing what in my opinion is one of the greatest “action-thrillers” ever in the interactive

So this weeks “movie” is actually a TV show. The reason I'm putting it up as a “movie” is that each episode is about an hour and a half long and there are three episodes, you do the math. Sherlock is a show produced by the BBC that takes the worlds foremost detective and his Dr. Watson and gives them a modern spin. Created by Stephen Moffat and Mark Gatiss the show manages to bring a dark and

Last week I talked about FOXs ham-handed way of choosing shows for cancellation. This week it's on to brighter days. I will, over the next few weeks, be going through the newly announced shows for the fall, a few at a time. First up is ABCs fall lineup, and what a lineup it is. With everything from southern belles to the toolman to angels and fairy tales. This is the most inconsistent line up I

Well, the big news in gaming over the weekend was by far the return of the PlayStation Network on Saturday. Sony has been working very hard from what we have heard to get the service back on it's feet, and all the work has finally paid off. The service has not returned in it's entirety but most of the functionality that gamers care about is there. The one major missing piece is the the store but

Alright. Friday is, in fact, movie day. Each Friday I will be aiming to do one of two things, either point out a movie that is in theaters currently that I feel is worth your dollars or point out a movie you may have missed but is definitely worth your time. For the most part I will try to make sure that anything I recommend is fairly accessible either in theaters or through Netflix. First up

Through the night last night FOX brought the ax down on five currently running series. Human Target, Breaking In, Traffic Lights, Lie to Me, and The Chicago Code were all canceled. Again FOX has canceled some great scripted TV to make room for more of the same. Obviously some of the public favorite were renewed by FOX. Bones, House, Fringe and Raising Hope are among them. What gets me is the

So judging from my Xbox Live friends list this weekend the Call of Duty franchise has all of us gamers right where they want us. The new Escalation map pack was released on Tuesday and I, along with a good portion of my friends list, downloaded it. Now I know the $15 price tag seems like a lot of money, and it is. But I somehow couldn't resist. I had managed to resist all of it up
