Game Review: Roller Coaster Kingdom

For an online game, Roller Coaster Kingdom on Facebook its not bad. The game lags badly, but is more responsive than when I first started playing. Roller Coaster Kingdom lags so badly that even with cable internet, the game application freezes the screen off and on. This still happens even through I have noticed less [...]

Celebrity Life on Facebook almost sounds like another more popular game, Sorority Life. First off, there similarities in name are some of the only things in common with Sorority Life.
Celebrity Life
It took a couple months for the creators of Celebrity Life to finally allow energy (called events) and attack levels (called Walk-offs)to reset when leveling [...]

The main cast seems set: Liam Neeson taking over George Peppard’s role as Hannibal Smith; Bradley Cooper in Dirk Bennedict’s role of Templeton Peck; Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in [...]

What’s new with The Police?

It’s now a little over a year since the end of The Police’s highly successful 2007-2008 Reunion Tour. So what are they all up to now? It’s interesting to see how the three members of the band have (or haven’t?) been keeping busy since then, perhaps using the tour as a launching pad for new [...]

Michael Jackson

I was — I am – a child of the ’80s. It’s a label and designation I embrace with a certain pride and a lot of fondness for the arts and culture of the decade, no matter what later generations have to say about it and how much it may be looked at as “cheesy” [...]

Using Twilight to promote another fandom?

This morning I received an interesting email from one of the fan groups for Fiction Plane, an alt/rock-group which has been around for a number of years of which I am a moderate follower. Fiction Plane opened for The Police on the first half of their world tour in 2007-2008, perhaps not unsurprising given one [...]

I’m really curious how this will turn out. The author of Russet Noon, LadySybilla, has done herself no favors in [...]

Kanye West Hoax – Who is Laughing?

Well apparently the Twitter world is laughing at the hoax about Kanye West kicking the bucket in a car accident. This may have been done in response to a video by Spike Jonze which depicts the entertainer being killed in a car accident. Since this, the video has been pulled.
Since then, Twitter fluttered about with [...]

Surrogates Movie Is Worth Seeing, But Barely

A day after seeing Michael Moore’s new film, I was off watching Surrogates. There’s a special place in my heart for sci-fi films, such as this one, and I was genuinely excited. Sometimes first impressions really shouldn’t be overlooked, though. I saw the trailer for Surrogates weeks ago, while seeing District 9 (which [...]
