One Man’s Trash: It Came from the Desert

Adam Tyner — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 15:00:12 +0000

“Great. So, in addition to giant ants, we now have robot machine guns to contend with?” Of course it is a giant ant. What else is gonna come from the desert?! At least we can breathe a sigh of relief that these monstrous buggers can’t reproduce. Their mutant eggs can’t be fertilized without ethanol, and...

Once again, alcohol saves the day! Pop quiz, hotshot: A colossal, otherworldly, insatiably ravenous sea monster has invaded Erin Island – a barely discernable speck on the map somewhere off the Irish coast. What do you do?

One Man’s Trash: Zombie Spring Breakers

Adam Tyner — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 12:00:32 +0000

Don’t sweat it! The zombie virus outbreak is all the way over in Eastern Europe, so this lads’ holiday in Ibiza ought to have a clean bill of health. Well, except for the undead strippers. And then there are the hundreds of gutmunchers jettisoned into the Atlantic that are now swarming onto the island’s beaches....

Why Don’t People Use Smart TV Apps?

Josh Zyber — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:00:21 +0000

These days, it’s practically impossible to buy a new HDTV that doesn’t come pre-installed with numerous internet apps and streaming video services. Yet, according to a recent report from the NPD Group, barely half of so-called “Smart TV” owners bother to connect them to the internet at all. Does anyone actually find this surprising? The...

Networks Block Content – Make Me Want an HTPC Even More

Dick Ward — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 18:00:13 +0000

I really love streaming video. Being able to watch anything I want whenever I want is fantastic. Not having to wait for a download makes it all the better. The problem comes with getting all that content onto my TV. The biggest issue with all those cool set-top boxes isn’t the hardware or the cost...

Hulu Plus Needs to Be Better than Piracy

Dick Ward — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:00:11 +0000

Since the initial announcement, I’ve been pretty excited about Hulu Plus. However, only a few weeks in, I’ve already cancelled my subscription. Why? It just doesn’t do what it needs to. In fact, it’s still a hell of a lot more convenient to just download the episodes through bit torrent than to watch them on...

Why Hulu Needs Conan (And Why Conan Needs Hulu)

Dick Ward — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:00:06 +0000

This November, the redheaded stepchild of late night comedy comes back on the air. It’s going to be a big event, but in order to succeed, Conan needs to keep his audience in mind. He’s not the only one making a big move this year. Hulu is starting to charge for service and they need...

Five Reasons to Love Hulu Plus

Dick Ward — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:00:16 +0000

Hulu Plus was officially announced yesterday, and I have to admit that I’m a fan. Shelling out another $9.99 a month is a bummer, but once the service hits a device I own, I’ll be more than happy to do it. So why is the new Hulu service so great? After all, the free service...

Watching Cable Is Starting to Feel Antiquated

Dick Ward — Fri, 07 May 2010 17:00:28 +0000

Is it just me, or is it starting to feel weird having to tune in to something chosen for you? About a year ago, I quit my day job to write full time, and I had to make a few financial concessions during the adjustment. I had to keep my internet and my computer, but...

Why Use Hulu Plus When You’ve Got Netflix?

Dick Ward — Tue, 04 May 2010 13:00:55 +0000

It’s still technically a rumor, but at this point I’m willing to call it a sure thing. An optional Hulu subscription service, dubbed Hulu Plus, is on the way. According to the ‘L.A. Times’, Hulu’s going to be asking for $9.95 a month for access to a back catalog of episodes. But based on the...
