Every time I hear someone say “Hey, you play Hoard yet?”  I think of Warcraft.  Old habits die hard, I’m afraid. Hoard, as opposed to “the Horde,” is a simplistic and minimalistic game where you play a dragon breathing fire on sections of a village to steal their gold and battle other dragons doing the... 

I love Oscar nomination day. Usually I’ll take off time from work and watch as the announcements are made live – the feeling of wonder, amazement, and sycophantic glee is almost tangible as the names are listed off. Then, it’s quick to the website to post the nominations along with (not-so)witty commentary as... 

I cleaned up my guild roster this past week – “housekeeping”, I call it. We have a guild policy regarding inactivity which states that all toons (including alts) may be kicked if they’re inactive for more than 30 days. This is as much to ensure that we keep an active roster as it is to ease the headache of... 

Haywire follows Mallory Kane (Gina Carano), a freelance member of a private firm that is employed by the American government for covert operation assignments along with fellow member Aaron (Channing Tatum) and a few others. After handling a hostage rescue situation in Barcelona, Mallory is assigned another mission... 

Part of looking at movies does involve the business side of show business. We try to have a little fun with it, as each week Tim makes his predictions as to how movies will perform at the Box Office. Then, on Sundays, we look at how Tim’s predictions fared. As I pointed out mid-week, Tim has long been a fan of the... 

No, we haven’t found a replacement for Margaret yet. Instead, the title reflects this week’s theme in new movie releases: both Underworld Awakening and Haywire feature hot chicks kicking ass, which means it’s something we talk about in this week’s episode. While neither Rafe or Tim saw those... 

Underworld Awakening is an action-packed, visually stunning thrill ride that embraces its familiar star, the vampire versus lycan storyline, cinematography and art direction while exploring a few new ideas and conflicts Kate Beckinsale returns as Selene for the fourth entry in the Underworld franchise. Len Wiseman... 

At long last the group has finally caught up to Deathwing.  With the assistance of Thrall, the Dragon Aspects, and the Dragon Soul itself, at last there’s a real good chance of taking out the Destroyer.  Well, at least there would be, if Thrall could get in another good shot with the Dragon Soul.  Fortunately... 

You’ve heard Tim make his weekly predictions on our podcast, guessing how the box office numbers are going to play out as we discuss each week’s estimates. Now we’re putting them down in text just to see how good Tim’s track record winds up. Tune in each week as we compare Tim’s predictions against the actual... 

The Guard starts with local Irish police sergeant (or “Garda” so as to fit the title) Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) going through his normal routine: investigating crime, making idol chit chat with the citizens who respect him, and pilfering drug evidence for himself. You know, the usual stuff. Suddenly, things...
