    Six Flags

    The song is... The song is the Venga Boys' "We Like To Party" The old guy is definitely not old - you can see the "bald cap" lines if you look closely - though I do think he looks rather like "Uncle Junior" Corrado Soprano from the Sopranos made up like that. You can see the TV commercial if...

    SImpsons 4/18

    Oh what a fun episode this was for a geek like me. The plot was lackluster - Edna dumping Seymour, Homer helping him Cyrano De Bergerac style… Not very exciting - until Comic Book Guy gets into it. That's when things got really hilarious (for me at least). The whole Sci-Fi Comic Book Con...

    I have seen complete dreg on TV and it is the (fill in the TV show here)--Better now?

    So sorry to hear that your precious Alias wasn't on..... But I gotta tell ya. Somewhere in America - some teenage girl was sitting around one night when her favorite show wasn't on - saying "My EYES! I have had to watch the worst dreg on TV - (INSERT YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW HERE!)" Really -...

    Freaks and GEeks on DVD tomorrow!

    See? Not many people had heard of the show! Freaks and Geeks was a TV show about high school life in the early 80's. It portrayed a realistic side of high school - with two groups prominently spotlighted: The geeks - the nerdy kids who were into Star Wars, D&D and such. The kids who always...

    RIP ST:TNG Movies

    I'd love to see a new incarnation of the original series. If you haven't seen this: www.5yearmission.com You should. It's a new cast (fan production) doing Classic Trek and it is EXTREMELY well done, for a fan production. Love to see something like it on network TV - or maybe even an...

    2600 joystick game

    Atari did not follow Commodore's lead. Atari's 400 and 800 preceded the Commodore 64 by almost two years. They had the Atari 400, 800, 1200, then 800XL and 600 XL. The 5200 was based on these 8 bit atari systems - because the games were already available for them - so all they had to do was...

    Need Cell Phone Info

    Make sure you get a tri-mode phone. Too many phones are going all-digital - which is great if you live in a city, but in rural areas you may still need to get an analog signal. I have an LG VX4400B which is tri-mode and is an excellent phone - and Verizon is top notch as well. Never have a...

    D&D:Heroes, BG:DA2,Champions of Norrath: Opinions?

    From what I have heard you can play it that way just fine. That's how I intend to play it, being the rather solitary gamer I am. I had fun playing the demo.... --*Rob

    D&D:Heroes, BG:DA2,Champions of Norrath: Opinions?

    I'm currently playing BG: DA2 and enjoying it. I played a demo of CON and it's basically the same engine and game - just a different world/plot. The one thing CON has over it is online play. That's nice if you want to do some hack and slash with some friends who don't live close by. I also...

    Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

    There were rumors flying around before Tim Burton was attached that Ron Howard wanted to direct a re-imagining of the movie from the point of view of the oompa-loompas.... I do really like the movie as it is. It is a LITTLE dated, but it is still set in this rather fantasy-world. But I do...

    [Feb] What are you reading?

    Last book I finished was "Life Of Pi" by Yann Martel - a truly great story of survival in the face of horrible odds. I highly recommend it. Also read The Da Vinci Code which was a quick, fun read. In my Palm right now is "Eragon", which I am just started on. I am also reading "Stupid White...
