Some people will tell you that there isn’t anything left to say about Lost, and those of us who spent 2010 hysterical with anticipation and/or dread for the looming series finale need to get on with our lives. Those people are liars and fools. For instance, did you ever wonder if Lost could be a […]
Some call it the Dr. Katz for the younger generation. I call it hilarious for anyone. Running from 1999-2004, the Cartoon Network’s Home Movies was an intellectual nerd’s dream.

There is only one solution: a family camping trip. Some may call it ill advised, […]
Anyone out there who still believes that video games are for kids would quickly change their mind with a quick trip through YouTube’s plethora of not-for-kids gamer programming. Of late, YouTube has become the cussing, violent wild west of video game journalism. We don’t necessarily think this is a bad thing, we’re just tired of […]
