Liveblogging the 24 Day 8 premiere – Hour 2
Block 1: “I try to get out, they keep pulling me back in!” — Of course Jack is not going to make his flight. Just once, I’d like to seem him not bother with the whole “fighting it” bit. The POTUS’ Chief of Staff is a bit of a prick. Omar’s brother looks like Ringo …

Liveblogging the 24 Day 8 premiere
I haven’t liveblogged anything since I watched Ghost Rider on DVD, but I have a laptop in my living room so what the heck. NOTE: I’m DVR-delayed, so it’s not quite “live”, but for all intents and purposes… First block: It’s awesome to see Jack happy instead of on-the-run, or returning from captivity, as the …

Champions Online review, part 2
Character creation is basically the same with both Champions Online and City of X, with some exceptions. Most notably, are the number of Characters you can create per server. In COH, I believe you can create 10 heroes or villains on each server (please correct me if I’m wrong) In Champions, for now you are …

I meant to post these the other day, but for some reason, these pictures would not scale down. Thankfully, Mike fixed this problem.

Champions Online review, part 1
I have received this MMO as a gift last week, and find it a significant improvement over Acclaim’s City of Heroes/Villains, but not without flaws. First, a bit of history… Champions began as a pen and paper RPG back in the early 80s. It would spawn the HERO system, which could be used for a …

The one saving element of Red Dwarf USA
There was an attempt to bring the British Sci-Fi Sitcom Red Dwarf to the United States. Certainly, that should have been easy to adapt. It could have been big. Unfortunately, there was a lot of interference from the network, and the cast is relatively lifeless. One change they made was that they not only kept …

2010 on TCM!
Turner Classic Movies is showing 2010: The Year We Make Contact today! If you haven’t seen it, it’s the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. It doesn’t have Kubrick’s vision, but it does have action and a plot that makes more sense. The special effects and acting are top-notch. Unfortunately, the movie still has us …

Podcast #5 is up…and it’s still 2009!
I promised Erik Burnham that I would have all of our older recordings published before the end of 2009… and I have 1/2 hour left to make that promise KEPT. This one’s less than 10 minutes long. Just a brief recording that wasn’t worth throwing out, despite some audio problems, because I relate to Erik …
