Imagine a Best Buy, but without those poor guys that got stuck working in appliances and car audio. You’ve summed up Dick’s writing right there. When he’s not blogging for Bonus View, you can find him writing about home theater gear and gamesHigh-Def Digest, high end electronics at AVRev, and photography over at Steve’s Digicams.

It’s time to get excited. The release of the PlayStation Vita is upon us. Also being released are a glut of launch titles, a few of which actually look pretty impressive. While already existing consoles aren’t getting anything worth talking about (an exercise in quick time events and another FPS version of a tactical PC game), the 3DS version of ‘Metal Gear’ may prove worthy of a purchase for fans.

The Netflix stream this week is a lot like my Valentine’s Day… very little action. We’re gaining a cult classic and a few sexploitations, but giving up nothing in return. All in all, it’s a pretty dull week for the stream.

There are plenty of new videogames today for hapless nerds who are stuck inside without Valentine’s Day plans. In other words, plenty of new games for me! This week’s releases should prove interesting. Two of them are revivals of franchises that we haven’t seen in some time.

“A Netflix Original Series.” Bet you never thought you’d see those words. I sure didn’t. The Netflix stream loses some really good sketch comedy this week, as well as one of the few movie reboots that’s actually any good. In return, we get Netflix’s first original series. It’s not an exciting trade, but based on current user reviews, it might not be as bad as it seems.

It’s finally time to see what the team at 38 Studios has in store for us, but ‘Amalur’ isn’t the only important videogame hitting stores this week. We’re also getting the sequel to one of the most underrated games of this console generation.

The beginning of February is all about comedy on Netflix. We lose a few funny movies and we gain a few. All things considered, it’s a zero sum game. It’s not a win, but it’s a hell of a lot better than a loss.

January’s just about over, and that means we can finally get back to talking about new videogames! This week kicks off with two blockbuster sequels. That’s not a bad way to break the slump.

All right, I’ll level with you – I’m a little scared this week. Netflix loses a huge amount of programming from the BBC, including a few favorites of mine. ‘Doctor Who’ is on the list at Instant Watcher, which is usually a reliable source. Yet on the Netflix page, the availability section shows “Streaming, Blu-ray and DVD.” If the show were leaving the stream, it should say “Streaming until x/x, DVD and Blu-ray.” So, I have my fingers crossed, because I’ve had a hankering to watch Seasons 1 through 4 again, and finish by bawling along in my room at the last half hour or so of ‘The End of Time’. So crazy good.

I’ve been playing videogames for 25 years now, since back when my dad first set me up in front of the Atari 400. With all that time invested, I find that very few games manage to surprise me. ‘Bastion’ is one that did.

There’s not a lot of movement in the Netflix stream this week. While we gain practically nothing, we also only lose two movies worth talking about. Wouldn’t it be nice if this happened more often? It’d sure give us less reason to babysit our queues!
