Recently, I watched Long Way Down, which is the sequel to Long Way Round. Both of these star Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman. You probably recognize the first name, but possibly not the second (unless you are a huge fan of Deliverance). I’m not sure if a documentary about guys riding around the world is [...]

Hard to buy books via Brick & Mortar
This weekend I randomly wandered my way into the local Borders to burn some time. While I was there I found three books that caught my eye: The Official Ubuntu Server Book, LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell and the Chobits Omnibus (Book 1). Even though I love myself some Amazon, I am still all [...]
Review: Riding Shotgun (Manga)
Last month I was linked the Tortucam video on YouTube, which was totally awesome. It’s a turtle running about which some kick ass background music. Makes me which I was a Turtle too. I liked the music so much, I went and found it on Amazon. The part that really confused me was that it [...]
Zombie Review: Gungrave
A friend recently recommended some new anime to me: Gungrave. Some of the guys that did Trigun were involved in this as well which also piqued my interest. Gungrave is about the same length as Trigun (approximately 650 minutes), so it is a fairly quick watch. Overall I found it quite amusing, except for one [...]
It’s Starcraft 2 Day
We’re basically dead to the world today. Starcraft 2 is out today. Even though some of Blizzards changes make me very angry, I’m going to give them a shot. They’ve done well in the past, and I feel they should get one more shot. Of course if their DRM system is a problem, or the [...]
Review: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)
This weekend I spent some of my free time watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, or more simply Gurren Lagann. This is by no means a new series (it has been out since 2007) I just never got around to watching it. I had heard mixed reviews about it, especially around the character of Yoko. Anyways, after [...]
Review: Predators
Last night, I went and saw Predators, which is a sequel to Predator and Predator 2. It was decent. Not bad, but nothing very exciting. There will be minor spoilers, but nothing terrible unpredictable.
Review: Crackdown 2
Crackdown 2 came out earlier this week. I was slightly surprised when I got the shipping notification, because I thought it came out in September. When I broached this topic with Jon he informed me that I was thinking of Halo Reach. After playing the demo (back when I thought it came out in September), [...]
Review: Bitch Slap (Movie)
Maybe you’re sitting around this 4th of July holiday and looking for something to entertain yourself, maybe you’re thinking about getting a movie. Whatever the reason, let me pass one word of advice down: Do not watch “Bitch Slap“. I really don’t know how to convey this movie in a short synopsis, but I think [...]
Review: The A-Team Movie (2010)
Ah, the A-Team. Who doesn’t love the A-Team? Ok, so lets start off with the movie itself. It was good, not “great”, not “the best movie ever”, but it was damn good. It was exactly what you’d expect from an updated A-Team. It was fun and over the top, especially with the tank/plane scene. They [...]
