It wasn’t until Grand Theft Auto 3 that everyone’s world changed and parents again had to wonder if video games were going to call out a lot of their shitty parenting. But what of those two original GTA games? They [...]

Rayman Origins (PC)

Easily one of the best 2D platformers ever. Artwork is absolutely gorgeous. Music is also pretty great (for a cartoon) and catchy, although some tracks are completely ruined because somebody thought there was anything redeemable about Yoshi’s Story. I hate to sound like I’m making excuses, but the real challenge [*fine oak pipe*] is in [...]

Review/Commentary: Best Worst Movie

Best Worst Movie is a documentary about the resurgent popularity of the “Worst Movie of All Time,” Troll 2. I had not seen Troll 2 before seeing Best Worst Movie, and you don’t have to see it either. After viewing BWM, I watched T2, and then I went back and watched BWM again. The experience [...]

Caltrops Quick Verdict: Fallout: New Vegas DLC

So I’ve finally finished the last DLC offering and here’s what I’ve got. I should also note that I really wanted to try out all the new perks so I installed the Perk Every Level Mod and the Sprint Mod for good measure. This was my third or fourth character and I started out with [...]
