    A show set in the 80s, with the dawn of personal computing as the setting? Holy shit, it’s as if a show creator read my mind, and created exactly the kind of show I’d love to watch. Think Mad Men, but with computers. The show debuted this past weekend, and I absolutely loved the pilot.…

    I’d been wanting this ever since I got my Wii U in January, but being the cheap bastard that I am, was waiting for a deal. I finally picked it up through the Mario Kart 8 promotion (you can get a free copy of this, Pikmin 3, Wii U Party, or New Super Mario Bros.…

    Spaceship! Yeah, this was a pretty funny movie, and I definitely had a soft spot for that retro space dude – those Lego sets were my favorite when I was a kid, and just like we see towards the end of the film, I would constantly make battleships using those pieces. Most of the other…

    I should start by saying that as a kid, Captain Harlock – or Albator, as I knew him in French – was my absolute favorite series. I loved that show so much, and my obsession with LEGO blocks was to constantly be building massive Arcadia-style ships, one after the other. So I was of course…

    So yes, my other favorite show is Mad Men, so right now I’m dealing with the issue of which one to watch first (Game of Thrones usually wins). It’s been a slow start to this final season, but I’m enjoying it so far, and especially enjoyed this latest episode, with Don bonding with Sally. I…

    Don’t worry, I won’t mention any spoilers, but 3 episodes in, this is certainly a great start to a season so far. I won’t say anything else other than this continues to be my favorite show (along with another series that just started its final season).

    Bar none, this is my favorite reality series. If you’re new to this, every year (or close to it) game studio Double Fine organizes an internal 2-week game jam, with 4-5 game prototypes getting made, and a lot of these games end up become full projects within the studio. The last 2 editions have been…

    I wanted to watch this because the original Ender’s Game novel is one of my favorite sci-fi reads. If you already know how it ends, you do miss out on a lot, but I still found myself digging seeing the story visualized – and the visuals are definitely well done.

    I’ve been a big fan of all the Joe Danger games, both on console and on iOS – last year’s Joe Danger Touch was one of my favorite iOS games of the year – and I’m so happy to be having just as much fun with the new Joe Danger Infinity (iOS). It’s so damn…

    I will say, this is one damn cool game. I really enjoyed playing through this – takes about 2 hours to go through this first episode – and I really can’t wait for the next episodes to come out. My favorite aspect of the game is that you are not really controlling the character of…
