Friday Funnies

Not a good week for laughs. So I'll just put up a commercial that made me laugh when I first saw it. And I know Klondike could have pulled this off (and he had a way better haircut and a much better bark than that poodle did).

Idiot of the Day

Let's all say it together ... doughnut. It's called a doughnut, you idiot. Good grief. Is there anything stressful about this situation that would cause someone to blank this much? Hope we don't have to see how he handles an oval office meeting when he can't identify the nation on...

Game On: Week of June 8

Here is my recent column reviewing Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Bloodforge. Thanks to the Evansville Courier-Press for publishing.  

Friday Funnies

Sometimes there is nothing better than watching bloopers from a show that could not be more serious. In this case, it's the humorous breaks in Breaking Bad. And yes, I know the final season starts soon. I'm itching for some more of that Blue Sky.

My Bocce Introduction

Of the many things I am learning as a new employee at the Washingtonian (and believe me, I'm made the fool at least twice a day), something that never ceases to amaze me is the general happiness everyone takes in working there. Just being part of the magazine staff is...

Friday Funnies

This week's Friday Funnies came to me as I was watching an old clip of Arrested Development on IFC. I randomly started thinking about The Brothers Solomon, a rather stupid movie starring Will Arnett and Will Forte that happened to feature some pretty funny clips now and then. The basic...

What I’ve Read: The Food of a Younger Land

To me the biggest takeaway from this book was something I obviously/kinda sorta/already knew but never thought about in a way like this until reading this book and also having a conversation with my grandmother about its details.And the big detail is the creation of the interstate highway system. That...

Word Welder Extraordinaire

Well that didn't take long. Shortly before I conquered Temple Run, I decided to go ahead and find another game to play, and somewhere along the way either the wife or I downloaded W.E.L.D.E.R. to the iPhone.This app is one of those word search / creator games where you put...

Game On: Week of May 25

My recent column reviewing Max Payne 3. Only one game this week as I had a lot to say about it, because it's awesome. Thanks to the Honolulu Star Advertiser for publishing.

Friday Funnies

One of the pleasant spring surprises for the wife and I has been the HBO show Veep. Holy shit is it funny. That it stars Julia Louis-Dreyfuss as a foul-mouthed vice president is precious, and that it costars Buster from Arrested Development and a grown-up Anna Chlumsky (which was bizarre...

Temple King

After conquering Hearts, Spades, Euchere and many other games on my iPhone, I enlisted some friends to help suggest some mobile games for my phone to pass the time when on the train and just killing time. For someone who reviews video games for a living it was strange to...
