Games 9/27: Wipeout HD, Burnout Paradise

I never played a Wipeout game before Wipeout HD, but I am a fan of the F-Zero series. Wipeout HD is not dissimilar to F-Zero. It feels more floaty than F-Zero, but it’s not that far off. Another difference is the presence of weapons, but in my experience so far they don’t [...]

TV 9/25: The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a new show on CBS, the pilot episode debuted a couple days ago.  It’s about a guy whose observational skills are so sharp that people would assume he’s a psychic if he let them.  He used to make money doing

An Excellent Tribute to GTA: San Andreas

Nine Inch Nails does the In Rainbows gimmick right

I like NIN, but man that last album (Year Zero) annoyed me.  Well, mainly the marketing annoyed me.  There was an alternate reality game with douches insisting to me that this ARG is different somehow and that it was being made into a movie and it was going to last for the next 3 years.  [...]
