The Somewhat Ambitious

I never really got to experience Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood – as a child, I was more inclined to NOT watch creepy dudes emerge from behind train sets. In fact, I really didn’t know all that much about the show until I watched this clip which, let’s be honest, is awesomecrazy terribad. The show itself ran [...]

Yes, I’m referring to Philip Michael Thomas of Miami Vice fame. I went through a bit of a vintage Miami Vice phase a year or so ago, but if you really want to delve into the deep, steamy heart of this shiny lothario, you need look no further than these two clips. Now, if someone [...]

I come to you today with the tragic and unexpected news that Super Mario… is dead. No, not that awful Bob Hoskins knock-off, I’m talking about the real, the original Super Mario: Captain Lou Albano. Who? This man:

Taking a page from the “Family Guy” resurrection guidebook, the canceled Fox animated comedy is returning with an order from Comedy Central for 26 new [...]

I never really got Alf. Granted, there was an extended period where I ate cats, but it was the early nineties. I was so coked up I could barely see straight.*

One of the things I love about World of Warcraft is the inability to cheat. Sure, people find tiny pointless exploits, but all in all, it’s all about earning the good stuff. Which I’m aware makes me sound like gaming dad, but… shut up.
Anyway, someone has apparently gotten into deep shit for cheating in World [...]

Yes, the new Star Trek film has premiered, and there have also been various press screenings. So in spite of the fact that it doesn’t come out until May 7th (I believe), there are individuals who have seen it. Myself and Luke are two of those individuals.
Now I’m not going to give anything away, because [...]

Battlestar Galactica is finished! For nerds, there are few things as satisfying as ranting and arguing online about finales.
