wasting away in mechanicsville….

I write this on a $1200+ laptop that has been reduced to little more than a $200 pc from Walmart. My mother-in-law, despite all my protestations over the years, has managed to fill her computer up with more spyware, adware, bloatware and general crap than it seems possible. Sadly, this laptop is only 6 months [...]

I’m dreaming of a brief Christmas…

Hey folks. Sorry for the lack of posting this week, but we’re heading out of town in about 30 minutes (two hours later than originally planned), and we had a lot of preparation to do before we left. Not to mention, I had a myriad of doctor’s visits and related medical stuff that ate up [...]

time to squat and kill!

Fuck you Mass Effect! Why am I always running around in combat crouching? Maybe because I can’t change the fucking crouch settings! Every game lets me do this. Why, Mass Effect? If I crouch, don’t keep me crouched until I fucking click the stick again! You know how easy it is to accidentally click the [...]

Literally an idiot

Some douche on an Entertainment show said that Britney Spears is “Literally on a roller-coaster to hell.” I guess this guy literally doesn’t know what literally means. Because he is literally an idiot.

3’s and 7’s

“3’s and 7’s” by Queens of the Stone Age is the greatest song of the year. And it’s fun as shit to play on Guitar Hero III. Yes, I’m posting this because I’m currently listening to the song.

Face Punchers Incorporated

For the sake of this post, and because you don’t know any better, I recently met a movie producer who let me in on some little known Hollywood secrets. Specifically, the original names of some of Hollywood’s most popular films. I know, I know. You don’t believe me. You think I’m making it all up. [...]

Out with the Aliens, in with the Bang

Thanks to the writer’s strike, we’ve had time to try out some new shows that we’d not normally get a chance to see. This can be a good thing, but just as easily a bad thing. It’s nice when you try a new show and it’s good, but for every bad show you curse the [...]

Queens of the Christmas Age

Before today, I thought the 70’s Star Wars Christmas was the oddest holiday special out there. Thanks to famous chef and lovable prick Anthony Bourdain, I’ve changed my mind. His Christmas special is not only highly enjoyable, it’s highly bizarre. Where else could you find the Queens of the Stone Age wearing holiday sweaters usually [...]

Moving Pictures: I

The features keep rollin’. On time even. Moving Pictures is going to bring you the best of web video. So, this week, I’ve only got three. So what? They’re good. That’s all that matters, right? Right? Oh, what do you know, anyway?
First, some stupid kid who makes me ashamed of my Guitar Hero skills. Or [...]

Strip Show: I

Welcome to Strip Show. As close to weekly as I can, I’ll be presenting two new webcomics for your reading pleasure. And not shitty webcomics. Fuck that. I’m bringing you the goods. The best of the intarweb. Well, the best of what I’ve seen. And I guess “best” is a pretty subjective term, at that…..hmm…. [...]
