You might have heard that Electronic Arts was given the exclusive license by Disney to produce games with the Star Wars license. In return, Electronic Arts will be tasking Visceral Games (Dead Space) and DICE (Battlefield 3) to develop games using the Frostbite 3 engine. One has to wonder what kind of game Visceral will come up with – maybe a...

This episode is unedited, so be prepared for some naughty language. This week has some stunning news items, causing an overstuffed, long episode, so big even Jordan’s wife chimes in, and Jonah and Paul argue hotly over the last item. The Gaming Flashback for this episode is Super Star Wars. This week’s huge news: EA gets exclusive license to publish Star...

During an uber-short 2-day broadcast week of the Howard Stern Show, most of the listening audience were brought back to the days of their youth as the entire cast of (living) original MTV VJs were in the SiriusXM studios at the same time. It was Nina Blackwood, Martha Quinn, Mark Goodman, and Alan Hunter all together in the studio...

In the most obvious sense, the title of this Game of Thrones recap episode refers to John, Ygritte, and the other Wildings' icy ascent up the sheer face of "The Wall". Split up over a couple of scenes, the climb was a thrilling bit of TV, especially when a crack sheared off a piece of the wall and sent...

I was a little surprised when I saw that Jason Newsted was working on a new EP. I was aware that he had been working as an artist while healing from a shoulder injury. I'm kind of glad he's back. For nostalgic sake. Looking back, his albums with Metallica weren't bad (by rock and roll standards), but for Metallica...

Iron Man 3 Review: When a film rakes in over 300 million dollars overseas prior to the U.S. opening you know it is setting up some great buzz. Yes, Iron Man 3 holds up well and is not only the best of the Iron Man films, it is one of the most solid of all the Marvel and...

This week's Hannibal episode is appropriately titled, isn't it? The "serial killer of the week" side-dishes we've been getting over the last few episodes have been delicious, for sure, but they've lacked a certain heft. Before tonight, you could almost be excused if you briefly forgot how dangerous and sociopathic the good doctor truly is. This episode, in contrast,...
