I’m at a loss to explain why I’m still playing iShoot. I play it at home. I play it on the subway. I played it in between the last sentence and this one. I have played it while in the same room as a perfectly available PS3. How does that make sense? iShoot is a [...]
The full cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation was on Family Guy last night. (Also apparently Meg gets religion.) I didn’t see it then. But I’m watching it right now. So can you! Because it’s on Hulu.
I’m not going to jump into the whole Dollhouse-recapping dogpit. It’s too much work and other people are too good at it. So as usual I’m just going to offer some stuff that occurred to me while I was watching this week’s episode. Complete episode is here. – Victor: that actor is really growing on [...]
[Warning: this is what news professionals call a "soft" item, in that it is unrelated in any way to any news breaking or otherwise. Not like all my other posts.] I don’t mean to get all Lifehacker on y’all, but I have no e-mail in my in-box. None. I didn’t want to say anything and [...]

I never read Enid Blyton when I was a kid. That is because I grew up in a country called “America.” But apparently she’s a big deal in other parts of the English-speaking universe — last year in a UK poll she was voted the most beloved author of all time. Now, I’ve eaten marmite, [...]
SPIDER-BITE GIVES MAN SUPER-POWERS (RELATIVELY SPEAKING)
A games startup called OnLive will be coming out of stealth mode today at the Game Developers Conference. Here’s the proposition: they take the heavy processing part of video games and move it into — and I apologize for using this hated, hated word — the Cloud. All the high-end graphics heavy lifting happens at [...]
I finally got to watch Friday night’s Dollhouse yesterday. It’s currently the only episodic television I follow, and I’m a little at a loss to explain its hold over me. But that’s not stopping me from having opinions about it! To wit: – Obviously, there’s a lot of sex stuff implicit in the whole Dollhouse [...]
The new Tripwire Special is here — Tripwire being an estimable British comics magazine. The real revelation for me in this ish was a piece about Kick-Ass, a comic I had not previously heard of, but which not only exists but is about to become a movie, very possibly a movie I want to see, [...]
