Black flagged at the last lap
So I was all set to get my DS Lite today. I had everything arranged. I called eight places, and the last one finally said they had one in stock. I asked the girl to hold it for me. So it's a 45 minute drive to that store... so what? I can handle it ( Read more... ) -
Pixar, now with 20% less funny!
CarsSo I watched Cars this weekend. I have a lot of faith in Pixar, and despite my relative disinterest in the film as I've seen it marketed so far, I figured I owe it to them to give them a shot ( Read more... ) -
Nintendo: Pimp-Slapping Thrifty Fans Since 1998
I don't tend to whore out my Newsvine articles too much here, but I particularly enjoyed writing this one and figured I'd give it a link. -
Train your brain in minutes a day!
Brain Age (2006)
Again, the full review is up elsewhere. Here I'll just say that any game that manages to get me hooked on Sudoku, of all fads, has something going for it.

The Princess and the Magical Umbrella
Super Princess Peach
Once again, I just posted a rather lengthy review over at Newsvine, so you can take a look if you want. Basically, I mocked its sexism for several paragraphs, and then gave it a 4/5 anyway because it was a good game.

X-Men: What May or May Not Be The Last Stand
X-Men: The Last StandThis isn't as good as X-Men 2. Now that that's out of the way, I enjoyed it for a good bit of fun. While it doesn't meet the pantheon of great superhero movies (X2, Spidey 2, Batman Begins), it does rank in the "pretty good" category (with X1, Spidey 1, and Batman Returns ( Read more... ) -
The relief of some pressure
Soon, I'm going to be leaving my job to go to Maryland and get married. I think my boss knew this, because last week she approached me with a basic "what will it take to keep you here?" Which was flattering, to say the absolute least. But still, we had made our decision, and we were going to Maryland ( Read more... ) -
PS3 and 360 to have (potential) Wii functionality
Rummaging around Digg today, I saw that a third party has essentially given the 360 and PS3 the same capabilities as the Wii via a peripheral. Considering that some game pundits were essentially saying that the Wii was a Gamecube peripheral and nothing more, this isn't too surprising. Interesting, though. I'm curious how it will play out ( Read more... ) -
"Rub it!"
Pulled from my Newsvine review of The Rub Rabits:
Despite the fun qualities of the game, the length makes it unworthy of a purchase. If you can head down to your local video store or use a service such as Gamefly, the manic madness and bizarre minigames is worth trying out. Rent it, rub it, and return it.
