What can I say. I’m an avid football watcher. Well, truth be told, I play fantasy football more than I actually watch football. I tend to default to the position of having to watch only those games that effect my chances to win on any given week. That probably ruined my football watching. Well, the fact my beloved San Francisco 49ers haven’t done so well lately has a lot to do with the demise of football watching. However, as a Niner faithful, I wait patiently for a resurgence, and perhaps even another Superbowl. But I digress.
Superbowl 42 will either be the crowning acheivement of the...

The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters is a fascinating documentary detailing the little known world of classic arcade gaming, and the personalities hard-coded into that culture. Rated 96% by RottenTomatoes.com, the movie presents the history of two competing interests looking to capture the world’s highest score on Donkey Kong.
Billy Mitchell, the long time record holder, ties his very personality and apparent self-worth to the title, while up-and-coming Steve Wiebe looks to challenge not only the incumbent, but also the culture. The documentary takes us through the journey of self-absorbed,...

Have I mentioned just how good a Mac is? Truly, if I had to do it over again, I would be a Mac guy from the very start. The Mac is just cool. The minimalist nature, the cool designs, the smooth graphics. All of these things combine to make any Mac computer an owners dream.
Add to that, now Mac’s are running on Intel processors which means you can run Windowz XP (spelled wrong intentionally) as a dual-boot option. In fact, Mac actually provides an installed piece of software called Boot Camp which actually allows (and some would say encourages) people to run Windowz on a Mac.
Why buy a PC again?...

Let me start by saying I won’t discuss any spoilers in this review. I won’t provide any more details than most already know: Large beast does a Godzilla-rampage on downtown Manhattan. But don’t let that stop you from going. This movie is so much more than a creature flick, and there are plenty of compelling moments.
Cloverfield is a thrilling ride, and worth paying every penny for the big screen experience. If you were thinking about waiting for the DVD, you’ll miss out because incredible sound effects almost portray another character...

Well, the Superbowl has been set. The Patriots will take on the Giants in two weeks. What can I say, I’m underwhelmed. I’m pretty convinced the NFL season has been over since the Patriots actually went undefeated during the regular season: the Patriots will go 19-0 and set a new benchmark on the perfect season. However, if there was a team that was suited to at least challenge the Patriots in the big game, the Giants are it.
It wasn’t the Chargers, they were busted and too broken. It wasn’t the Packers, because they don’t have a defense that could keep up with the Patriots...
