I can now start “Countdown to Cape 2011” *cue dramatic news story music* Will we see it for longer than thirty seconds of the last episode? Will Tom Welling even look good in the suit?

Full Story »Being Human: Something to Watch Over Me
So how do you feel about the inconsistencies in vampire lore portrayed in Show? In the interest of full disclosure, everything I know about vampires comes from seven seasons of Buffy, five seasons of Angel, and two seasons of True Blood (okay FINE, and three Twilight movies). This totally makes me a vampire expert, so I can say with confidence that vampires are not supposed to be capable of: 1) being exposed to sunlight; and 2) seeing their reflection.
Full Story »Face Off Preview: Out of This World
In this clip from next week’s episode of Face Off, the contestants create full body prosthetics, Tom skulks around the lab in a Freddy Krueger sweater, and everyone still hates Frank.
Full Story »V: Unholy Alliance
Chad Decker is the embodiment of the show’s abuse of expository scenes to move the plot along. Despite the huge step forward for his character is the previous episodes, including his introduction to the rest of the Fifth Column, his role this week was diminished to something similar to a Greek chorus, narrating and filling in plot progression through his news reports.
Full Story »Chuck vs The Push Mix
The premise for the title of this episode is creepy and gross. A mix cd to listen to while Ellie pushes out the alien inside her. That’s not something I actually need to think about.
Full Story »Syfy’s Face Off Deserves Your Love
Am I the only one here watching Face Off on Syfy? Not that I’m a reality show junkie or anything, but I’m a sucker for creative competition shows.
Full Story »Have Our Pop Culture References Expired?
I guess in a way, the late 20th century pop culture references have expired .. but only on first mention. For those who “lived through them” it’s an instant connection in the same way a comic book geek says Sinister 6 and crystal then looks for the other comic book nerd to out himself. When that connection is made, it’s fun, cool sometimes kind of a signal that says, “Yeah I know why I need to go 88 miles per hour.”
Full Story »Game Review: Dead Space 2
I have to admit, I felt the first Dead Space game fell short of being frightening in a lot of ways. The biggest problem was the protagonist, Isaac Clarke, whose face never see (save for the very beginning and end) and never says word throughout the game.
Full Story »Class M Planets!! Maybe!
NASA’s Kepler mission has found five Earth-sized planet candidates in the habitable zones of other stars. Anyone have suggestions for new planet names?
Full Story »The Cape: Dice
I want to like Peter Fleming as a villain. No, really, I do. A well crafted villain is always more interesting than the hero. The main reason is that you don’t know everything about the big bad guy right away — you have to watch and learn, try to wrap your head around their motivations. Think about Magneto, as portrayed by Sir Ian McKellen in X-Men, a character so tangible you could touch him if you weren’t afraid he’d do something painful to you with his mutant powers. Fleming could be a good villain — even a great one — if he didn’t keep relying on the Evil Overlord Handbook.
Full Story »Sexy Costume Overload
Costume companies are starting to announce their releases for Halloween 2011. Yep, I mean those costume companies. The ones that mass produce wenches and ninjas in the flimsiest of fabrics and then take photos that make said costumes look amazing.
Full Story »Horrible Horror: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Leatherface managed to take the plight of star-crossed, cannibalistic, self-mutilating lovers to a new level. And it definitely made me re-evaluate my own past “bad” relationships. As horrible as some guys may have treated me, none of them ever cut the face off of one of my friends and forced me to wear it while slow dancing with me.
Full Story »Today was Pink Raygun’s Birthday
It was Pink Raygun’s 4th birthday today and we totally missed it. I was going to make celebratory cupcakes with my whiskey frosting and little pink rayguns drawn on them with piping gel.
Full Story »The Brits Are Taking Over
I’m being a total hypocrite suddenly giving half a damn about the Superman movie after months of total disinterest, yet a Brit portraying one of our most enduring American icons really doesn’t sit well with me.
Full Story »Videogame Flashback: Best Videogames of the Last Decade
We had a good run this past 10 years. There were a lot of good games, new peripherals, and new consoles to look back on as well. We started the decade with a new batch of consoles and ended with three consoles that have motion control. As we edge close to having our own holodecks, and neck microchip implants, let’s look forward to another fine decade of great innovation, amazing technology and most importantly — great games.
