Pop Culture and Politics on the Artistic Spectrum

Growing up poor on the mean streets of inner city Philadelphia, us kids had a lot of time to screw around outside. I never did a whole lot of video gaming (besides NHL 95 on the Sega Genesis!), and found the greatest amusement playing outside with a friend or two down the street. I've written… Continue reading Wall Ball Laws
I no longer consider Dragon Age: Origins to be a meaningless game. It has become a fucking problem that needs to be solved. I don't feel that I have a problem, per say. Suffice it to say that it is beginning to feel like an epic equation that must be evaluated for the sake of… Continue reading Dragon Age: Origins–Part 4
The eloquence of organized battle has bested me once again as I stagger, dumbfounded through this elaborate and addictive game. Every fight that I find myself in is a last-ditch effort to come out on top--and while this works for me, I know that there must be an easier way. I've watched videos on YouTube,… Continue reading Dragon Age: Origins–Part 3
After reading many reviews and playing this game so damn much--to the point that my eyelids reach unpleasant heaviness--it has become almost an essential part of my life. My version of the game came complete with two DLC codes... One was for a free set of armor, which I can't actually use until I reach… Continue reading Dragon Age: Origins–Part 2
For the record, I am not a huge fan of RTS (Real Time Strategy). I suppose I was never meant to be a god...or a general...or a leader in any way, shape, or form. Commanding and Conquering large imaginary armies across an exotic turrain while casually checking my Facebook just doesn't work for me; but… Continue reading ‘Fat Princess’ is Tons of Fun
After a long period of waiting around for a decent Batman game to launch after the disappointing Batman Begins clusterfuck, fans of the Dark Knight are finally rewarded. I've played Batman games before, but it has always felt like a typical action game featuring a central character wearing a Batman costume. Arkham Asylum created a… Continue reading Enjoy Your Stay at Arkham Asylum
Attempting to be extremely selective about what games I'm going to purchase is starting to become almost even with selecting which movies I'm going to bother seeing. While I could obviously pay to see about 5.5 shitty movies at the same expense as paying for one shitty game, I would consider it about even. Like… Continue reading Busting Makes Me Feel Good
The Resident Evil series has always served to baffle, befiddle and befaddle me; certainly not as much as the Metal Gear series, but enough to cause concern for the future. I don't think I've ever successfully completed a Resident Evil game in the entire series. At the risk of being "gamer'd" to death, the excuse… Continue reading Re5: A Wonderfully Un-Racist Romp Through Scarytown, Africa
Yesterday I saw WATCHMEN in IMAX. I'm going to attempt to systematically lay out this "review" so that you can read the things you want and NOT read the things you DON'T want. At the very bottom, there will be a list of items that were in the comic but not in the movie...this will… Continue reading You Will Watch (and Love) the Watchmen!
Most people of our parents' age in Philadelphia know about the Big 5, that informal league of local college basketball that used to be one of the most important and prestigious pinnacles of sport in the area. For those uninformed, the Big 5 is a sort of...unofficial conference made of Penn, St. Joe's, La Salle,… Continue reading Philadelphia Big 5: Get With the Times or Get out of the Way…
Well, I went off and registered myself for Drexel University's annual Egg Glide competition. The link there has a pretty good description of the event, but basically, (and from here on in, I'm going to Bold the things that are in engineer speak), you build a dealie that keeps your egg from smashing when you… Continue reading Egg Drop Scoop
As most gamers have noticed, games are beginning to become more and more immersive. That is to say, video games are becoming more of an interactive and cinematic experience. The newest addition to the Fallout series, Fallout 3, confirms this trend. Already proclaimed by many as the “best Xbox game” in 2008, this game does… Continue reading The Game of the Future
Just two weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles were left for dead. Andy Reid, fired. Donovan McNabb, traded for a bag of footballs. And the inevitable handing of the torch to Kevin Kolb was the only logical choice. This team could never win with McNabb as quarterback and had no chance of making a deep playoff… Continue reading Eagles Continue “Miracle Year” for Philly Sports
Let me start off by saying that DC Comics is a pretty redundant title. That being said, they're responsible for some of the greatest Superheroes (and Villains) to ever moisten the pants of nerds everywhere. Mortal Kombat, on the other hand, has served to produce some of the funniest and most outstanding fighting games (imo) across… Continue reading Mortal Kombat vs Detective Comics (Comics) Universe
