Why I’m Going to Watch Community, and so Should You

Posted by Rick Starke On March - 15 - 2012

Let me start off with this rather verbose rant: I hate Joel McHale. I cannot stand him, and could not stand him before I knew what his name was. The first time I remember seeing him in anything was Spider-Man 2, where he played the banker that denied May Parker a loan…it wasn’t because of his character’s actions, really, it was because of how he looked as he said whatever words he vomited out of his mouth. I didn’t keep that face in my mental rolodex of things I hate, because it was inconsequential overall.

Several years later, I watched “The Soup” with a girl I was seeing at the time. Wow. I wanted to punch him in the face. The way he presented himself in every single thing he said or did on the show just made me go “if this guy wasn’t famous and just showed up to a group of me and my friends hanging out and acted this way, he would immediately get beat up.” Mind you, I hang out with an overall non-violent bunch, myself included.

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On January - 25 - 2012

So it better be really good right? I’ll let you be the judge. If you don’t like it, well it’s possible that our feelings will be hurt.

Listen to it below!And just so you know, this is less than an hour.

Spacecraft & Superboosters

How often have you read a book and made an effort to find out who was responsible for the cover? If you can say you have than you are a better person than I am.  I will definitely be looking at book covers more as the art that they are and less as something that just merely exists a lot more often, and I have this book and the art of Chris Foss to thank.

Best Albums of 2010

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On May - 9 - 2011

We’re over a third of the way through 2011. I would have to be crazy, an asshole, or a crazy asshole to be posting something like this this late in the year. But yeah, I’m doing it anyway.

I was going to do a Kanye West picture like I did last year, but I didn’t want to confuse people into thinking his album was on this list.

Check out the list below.

Today everyone seems a bit peeved with Armond White of the New York Press for this review he wrote of Toy Story 3 claiming that the film was nothing more than a cheap attempt at consumerism, saying that the fans had basically been duped into believing this movie was worth it.  Unfortunately for Armond White, he is wrong.  He is so wrong.  Wrong wrong wrong.  Wrong.  Never mind how he’s ignoring the amount of time, work, and patience it took to get to this point, never mind how good the script is and how much it works to satisfy those who have had faith in Pixar all along, and never mind the fact that it was the perfect cap on a series I’ve been enjoying since I was about seven years old.  Never mind all of that.  As soon as the name Barbie is uttered once, it becomes a colossal advertisement.  The amount that is wrong with that is mind-boggling.

A Call to Arms

Posted by Andrew Witts On May - 5 - 2010

Very rarely would you be able to talk to a person off the street and have an informed conversation about the video game industry and how it is structured somewhat similarly to the motion picture business. One could blame the major news outlets like Newscorp and CNN for their lack of coverage of the industry, but where are all of the video game journalists in this equation?
