I was never a fan of Iron Man, but the movie does a decent job. The suit is impressive, some jokes are good (I loved the jet boot testing bits), and Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges might seem strange choices for hero and antagonist but it works.

I can’t stop playing this. I count the hours until my work day ends so I can get online and lay the smack on total strangers on the internet. The online gameplay works exactly as it should – you mash some buttons, and 30 seconds later later you are racing against 6-12 others across the globe, some scarily good, others deploringly bad. Massive amounts of fun, indeed.

Hello, my name is Michiel, I am 34, and I am addicted to Mario Kart Wii, with all the sadness that implies.

This looks just stunning. I put it on in the background but it keeps drawing my eye. You need to watch this in HD on a really big screen.

Almost as good as actually being in all these places, and in many cases, the only way you are ever going to see some of these awe-inspiring images of Earth and the rich variety of life it contains.

And that is all I have to say about that.

But in stark contrast, stuff actually happens here. A fun twist on your basic giant monster attack movie.

Seriously, this is a masterpiece. If I had to describe it, it would sound ludicrous and include a guy getting his brain shot out through his anus and fighting god so he can get back to earth and re-live his formerly useless life, and a group of people getting eaten by a giant whale and who consequently live inside it for a while.

See? Sounds insane. Yet the movie is brilliant with some incredible animation.

Okay, so “geeks” are hot. We get it. So why would you make a series geared towards the geeky audience and then go out of your way to insult them with lame computer nonsense-talk, unlikely plot twists, and lame deus ex machina tricks?

This series deserved to get canceled.

In retrospect, nobody should have been surprised when George Lucas turned around and raped our collective tender Star Wars childhood memories with his later atrocities. It all fits, the patterns were there.

But you owe it to yourself to see this, if only for the family-friendly Wookie softcore pr0n.

(note: Lucas was not directly involved in this I-can’t-stop-watching-trainwreck but if you are willing to whore out your creation like this…I’m just saying)

Witty dialogue, wry Seinfeld observations, the toils of modern life, high-speed chases, and showing off the slow but inexorable advance of CGI. By no means a classic for the ages but it was obviously not intended to be. Enjoyable.

I got through this little blurb without making any lame bee-related jokes too, yay for me!

Friggin’ finally! The Dual Strike is still one of my most-played (and well-loved) DS games, but it was time for a new installment. Yay!
