Zombie Survival 101: From A to Z

You think that having a zombie apocalypse is awesome. Your backseat or trunk has a bag full of supplies. You keep the Zombie Survival Guide in your glove-box or some other easy-to-reach place. And why do we have this fascination over zombies? Because it doesn't really exist - you play Resident Evil or Call of Duty and come out looking like a sexy bad-ass, or you watch Walking Dead where all you can do is scream "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT YOU ASS-HAT?! DO [insert action here] INSTEAD! Good God!" Seriously though, how would you react if it started to happen? And is it even realistic? Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I'm...

First Look: Kid Icarus Uprising

Kid Icarus Uprising is a new 3DS game released March 23rd 2012. It's one of the newest and most anticipated titles released this year, so you must be wondering- is it worth getting. We got it, we played it, and we're here to give you the first inside look from a player's perspective on what you'll get out of purchasing the game. So here's my story. I got an e-mail from Gamestop on March 21st saying the new Kid Icarus Uprising game was available now. Don't believe me? Here's the exact ad I got in an e-mail: So anyway, I head over almost immediately to get the game. Not only was the ad wrong, releasing the game Friday March 23rd, but I...

5 Reasons I Can't Stand the First Person Shooter Community

A first person shooter is a video game set where the perspective is you as the character. You move around as though the screen is exactly what you would see through the character's eyes as though they were your own. You are the character, and in these games you carry a gun. Many of these games include the option to play online with a community of players in competition or cooperatively. These games are good games, but I just can't stand this community of gamers anymore, and here's my top 5 reasons why! DISCLAIMER: Before anybody actually reads the following and starts to hate me for writing this, please keep in mind that the content below...

Thoughts on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D

What’s better than Star Wars? Star Wars in 3D! Yes, I actually paid money to see a film that I already own on VHS/DVD/Blu-ray. In fact I went to see this 3D version in theaters twice. Now I know the Phantom Menace has gotten a lot of hate, but I think this film has scenes that make it one of the more solid films in the prequel trilogy (yes…I know that’s not saying much). The 3D actually had me enjoying the film much more than I originally had. The film is pretty much exactly the same. It’s been cleaned up, like the Blu-ray version. The sound is on point as always. Sound has always been top notch when it comes to George Lucas. 3D Lightsaber...

Book Review: The Hunger Games

NOTE: SPOILERS POSSIBLE So with The Hunger Games coming out tonight/tomorrow if you haven't read the book, I only ask why the hell not?!? I for one must hand it to Mrs. Collins, who delivered an epic tale geared towards a young adult audience yet made it quite adult all at the same time. Unlike the Twilight Saga (which was a saga just to finish an individual page) Collins was able to capture the essence of a young 16 year old girl written from first person point of view, and not make them completely annoying. Katniss was a girl who was relate-able, love-able, caring, and still very independent. Peeta captures the hearts of girls everywhere...

WWE Raw Wrapup 3/19/2012

Monday Night Raw – March 19th, 2012 The final stretch to Wrestlemania approaches:  13 short days.  Only three more shows (at least what gets shown on television) until the biggest one of the year.  A graphic reminding us that Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Undertaker will be face-to-face is shown and our WWE champion enters to start the show off strong. CM Punk is formally announced and receives the now-expected big ovation.  A quick recap of Jericho explaining to Punk that alcoholism is in his blood from the announcers and Punk informs us that Jericho is not in the building tonight.  Punk says this shows the...

[Poll] Should Bioware redo the ending to Mass Effect 3? You decide.

I'm sick of this talk about Mass Effect's ending, I really am. I'm not done with the game quite yet, but when I do, I'll make sure that I hate it. Then I'll boycott Bioware and EA's products as a form of protest. Why? Because that's what you do when you don't like a creative property, you throw a bitch fit and a frivolous FTC filing at a fool. Like a boss. Joking aside, it's absurd, to me at least, for fans to be up in arms about an ending. I hate the ending to Indiana Jones and The Crytsal Skull, but I'm not having a stroke over it. You just hate it and move on. However, Bioware co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka does make some valid...

[Video] First Look at Battlestar: Blood and Chrome

I remember Battlestar Galactica being this epic story driven, character rich television sci-fi drama. Hell, it might arguably be the best sci-fi drama that has ever been on television. I watched that bad boy from beginning to end, without stopping. I think I killed that entire show in about 2-3 weeks. Watching Starbuck kick cylon ass up and down different solar systems throughout the galaxy gave me chills. Watching Lee Adama slowly, but surely climb the ranks of what was left of the military. In sort, it is one of my favorite shows to date.  Then when I woke up this morning and booted my computer up I saw something...

Review: Welcome....to TWISTED METAL!

Twisted Metal is a contest held by Calypso, where cars are suited with various weapons and everyone tries to kill each other. You advance through the levels by wiping out the competition, and when you're all done the driver gets one wish granted. How it works: As with every Twisted Metal game, you assume the role of a driver in the contest and advance through levels. You have various weapon pickups, special attacks, machine guns, etc. You can even kill pedestrians in the level or destroy scenery if you so choose. In this installment, the cars are much faster (seriously, my first few choices left me completely in awe) and there are many...

WWE Smackdown Lowdown 3/16/2012

Friday Night Smackdown – March 16th, 2012 WWE seems to have given up on the countdown to Wrestlemania (although, I’m currently taking bets on how many times they remind it’s in 6 and 2 days on the last Raw and Smackdown respectively), but I have not!  Sixteen days, just over two weeks until the biggest show of year.  The time to elevate new talent and revive returning talent.  And on that note, Smackdown starts with the return of Christian and the Peep Show. Christian receives a warm reaction, especially for someone we saw as a whiny heel a short time ago.  Christian mentions the General Manager 12-man tag match and...
