We’ve seen so many of these lists, but why should all the other bloggers get the glory? I’ll admit to only being a casual Smash Brothers fan, but as new characters get introduced, much like many others, I can’t help but think about the fighters I would love to see included on the roster. I’ve cast a very wide...

Game of Thrones came back with a bang in season 4, didn’t it? Personal life has forced me to consider both of the first two episodes back to back, and they were mighty entertaining. Between the first two season four episodes, we’ve caught up with pretty much everyone, and there were plenty of great scenes, but I keep thinking about...

Recap, Review and sketch ratings for the Saturday Night Live (SNL) episode on April 12, 2014 featuring host Seth Rogen and musical guest Ed Sheeran. Coachella If the goal of this sketch was to be as bland as the Republican politicians it was portraying, then it succeeded all too well. C Seth Rogen’s Monologue What an absolute mess of a monologue.

Paul wasn’t able to make it for this podcast thanks to a hospital trip due to back pains, but Jordan and Jonah get into it a little themselves. They also avoid the predictable April Fool’s gags since even though the episode was recorded April 1, it wasn’t going to air until 2 days later. This week’s Gaming Flashback is...

Prolific front woman Karen Debiasse of the veteran group Girl On Top has issued two new MP3s that are simply terrific. IN A MOMENT clocks in at 3:05 and could be the backing tracks to a Marilyn Manson or Alice Cooper track. Debiasse's smooth vocal treads lightly over husband Dave's elegant guitar lines. Girl On Top has received airplay...

This is the first time that I’ve drifted from video games on this blog, but given my love of movies as well as games, I see no reason not to touch on them. I’ll do my best to avoid spoilers here, but it’s impossible to discuss most films without a few minor spoilers. I should be able to avoid...

Last year I started a YouTube video series called “One Shot, One Song”.  The idea behind it is to capture a song or sketch idea live in one take, usually with the help of a looper. In the latest installment I wanted to focus more on a technique I use from time to time.  When I’m writing or playing guitar...

The first 300 was undoubtedly accomplished in its kinetic, comic book-style visuals. Whether you found those visuals to be the coolest thing ever or migraine-inducing, they presented a fully realized, singular vision of what an action movie could be. It was one of those cinematic innovations that demanded you have a reaction to it one way or...
