So this whole World Wide Web thing is pretty mind boggling when you really think about it… Is there anything you can’t get via the internet? Probably not, but the problem is finding it. Well, while most people spend their free time aka bored at work stalking people via Facebook, sifting through...

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING!!!!!
GET YOUR DVR’s READY!!!
While this site finds it’s direction, one of the goals is to inform you of shows and movies you might miss due to everyday responsibilities. For me, one of the “great” things in life is being referred shows/movies by friends that I...

So since it’s inception, I have been a faithful watcher of MTV’s Real World/Road Rules challenges. Those of you “in-the-know” know that this show has everything you could ask for in entertainment, hotties, drama, heated competition, drinking and inevitably fights. Last night’s...
PS3 Update 3.10 is live
Posted by Brian "dOobius One(.618)" on Nov 19, 2009 in Gaming, PS3, What You Should be Doing | 0 comments
Update 3.10 launched last night and now users can spam Facebook Feeds (much like I do with the SwollenThumbs fan page) with their trophy acquisitions, game progress and/or store purchases. Not that big of a deal in our book, but we’re happy that PS3 continues to progress. Considering that they do not...

So I just stumbled upon a very exciting blurb stating that an Alien prequel was in the works. The best part… Ridley Scott is supposed to be directing it! For those of you with your heads in the dirt, Ridley Scott was the director of the movie that started it all, Alien.
Directly from the horses...

For all you nonbelievers out there, who scoff at me and my kind, calling us immature and laughing at the fact that we’d rather stay home and play video games than hang out with you, the proof is in the pudding!
Although previously speculated, Activision/Blizzard today announced that Modern Warfare 2 is...
V: Episode 3… gaining steam???

So I’ve been very critical of ABC’s new “hit” show and I come to you today to give credit where credit is due. Episode 3 gave this show some promise again. My prior complaint was that it all just felt like a whole lot of nothing. I’m still convinced that the writers and...
Make war… Not love! MW2: One Week Later

So Modern Warfare has been out for almost a week now and it has slapped the gaming industry upside the head, screaming “Yes, I own this B****!”
A few select reviewers were not caught up with the hype (myself not being one of them) and gave MW2 a solid level-headed review. The review I refer to,...

Tuesday November 17th, is not only my lovely mother’s birthday (happy birthday mom, I will probably forget to tell you on Tuesday), but also the day Star Trek comes to Blu-Ray and DVD.
I was lucky enough to see this movie in IMAX and I would have to say it’s in my Top Ten of All Time and probably...
