‘Modern Family’ 3.06 Recap: “I See You’ve Met My Wife”

‘Modern Family’ 3.06 Recap: “I See You’ve Met My Wife”

Well, ‘Modern Family’ wasn’t bad last week, but it really wasn’t that good either. A normally likeable character got a little monstrous, and though there were lessons to be learned, nobody actually learned them. It was funny enough, but it didn’t feel like ‘Modern Family’.

You can almost feel the anticipation in the air as millions of gamers wait for the moment they can start destroying their friends in one of this year’s biggest shooters. There are other games too, but they’re not named ‘Battlefield 3′, so it’s hard to get too excited.

The Netflix Stream: Week of October 16th, 2011

We’re losing a few titles of value from the Netflix stream this week and gaining a few. You’ll be happy to note that we’re getting some stuff that’s great for Halloween. Well, you’ll be happy to note that – and I expect that you have a notebook handy – as long as you don’t hate Halloween. In which case you’re a jerk. There, I said it.

‘Modern Family’ 3.05 Recap: “I Want to Be the One to Push You Off the Cliff”

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it never does. Season 2 of ‘Modern Family’ was really hit and miss for me, but we’re five episodes into the third and, while there have been some underwhelming episodes, there’s nothing that I’d consider even close to bad. Continue Reading

Videogame Releases: Week of October 16th, 2011

We’ve got one major videogame release this week, along with a pair of smaller games based on already popular franchises. Sequels and prequels abound, but that’s not something we should really be too bothered about. Still, I can’t help looking that gift horse in the mouth and wishing that there was an original idea in there somewhere.

NBC Thursday Night Comedy – Catching Up

NBC Thursday Night Comedy – Catching Up

Between school, my normal daily work, my gig at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, a road trip from Detroit to Mississippi and back last weekend, and prepping for a road trip from Montana back to Detroit this weekend, I’ve been hard-pressed to find the time to watch my stories. So I decided to just jank up my sleep schedule a bit, get caught up, and get a blog entry up before I get way too far behind. Continue Reading

Repair Box – A New Brand Selling Old Console Parts

You wouldn’t believe how many press releases I get on a daily basis. My inbox is flooded with news that’s relevant to what I write about, and plenty that isn’t. I skim through, and certain words grab my attention. The email I received from Hyperkin this week had the word “SNES” in it. Attention grabbed.

‘Modern Family’ 3.04 Recap: “This Is Our Double Rainbow!”

It’s been a great season for ‘Modern Family’ so far, and ‘Door to Door’ continues the trend. Folks get paired up nicely, storylines play out well and there aren’t any of those ambiguous non-morals from Season 2.

Videogame Releases: Week of October 9th, 2011

There are too many videogames to write about this week, which is just fine since I’d rather not try to think of something interesting to say about ‘Just Dance 3′ or the latest iteration of the ‘Dance Dance Revolution’ franchise. Instead, I get to talk about boy games with race cars and planes and zombies! Continue Reading
