Skyrim First Impressions [GO]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“It’s definitely a very pretty game (Photo courtesy nxcuso)”] [/caption] Well, guys, I finally did it. After all the hype and all the insistence of my friends, I plopped down $60 and bought me Skyrim. Mind you, I found Fallout 3 to be dull most of the time and marginally entertaining at other times and I never had even the slightest interest in playing Oblivion, but here I was, buying into the hype. ...

Trunk Club [U]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“The easiest way to shop for men’s clothing.”] [/caption] I first heard of Trunk Club in one of Kai’s Tumblr posts and immediately thought the idea of having nice clothing automatically shipped to my door without having to worry about choosing what I got was brilliant. Since trying the service is free, I figured why not check it out. What’s the worst that could happen, right? ...

What I've Been Doing 14 Nov 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

Watched all of the 7 Minutes in Heaven clips that were out there. So funny! So awkward! So great! Movies Sorry, guys. No movies this week. TV The Walking Dead - Glenn remains the best thing about this show. Getting the rope around the fat zombie, hooking up with Maggie, and overall being funny and awesome. That part where he tries to be all cool in front of Maggie was hilarious and understated. ...

Uncharted 3's MoCap [GO/ER]

I find this stuff so interesting! All good things come to an end, but here’s to hoping that we see Drake, Elena, Sully, Chloe, and Charlie again because these guys are so great.

What I've Been Doing 7 Nov 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“333” caption=“Blast from the past week. (Photo courtesy robotspacer)”] [/caption] Movies Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - I didn’t technically watch Scott Pilgrim because I was listening to the director commentary with Bryan Lee O’Malley. Very informative to learn about how autobiographical the story is and about how integrated Edgar Wright’s movie was with the book. TV The Walking Dead - Not killing off Shane was the smartest thing this show did. He’s ice cold and his decision last week was awesome. ...

Uncharted 3 First Impressions [GO]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“The best adventure serial you’ll ever play! (Photo courtesy naughty_dog)”] [/caption] Everyone’s favorite treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, is back once again for his third journey! What’s it like? I’ll tell you. I’m about eight chapters in, but you can expect some degree of story spoiler if you read this post. I don’t think anything huge has happened yet, but if you don’t want to know about which characters are in the game or what happens at all, DON’T READ THIS! ...

New Game + For Pokemon [GO]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“The first game I ever saw New Game + in and my favorite one too!”] [/caption] I was thinking about Pokemon this morning (like I usually do) and I was lamenting the fact that the campaigns, while fun, are hardly difficult. The hardest battles you ever face are gym leaders and the Elite Four. In later versions of the game they added in bonus bosses or battles that were more difficult and challenge rooms, but it’s all post-game stuff and it doesn’t have a real narrative tied to it (most of the time). ...

November Movie Preview [FB/ER]

Screened runs down the films of November so you can mark your calendars. It’s looking far less grim than last month. The biggest draw is The Muppets.

Announcing Comic POW! [BT]

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“300” caption=“Comic POW will be your source for intelligent comics discour – OK, it’ll just be Eric and I arguing about which comic is better.”] [/caption] As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I’m no longer talking about comic books here because Eric and I have started a new project: Comic POW!. Each week at CP! Eric and I will choose our favorite book, force the other to read it, and then BATTLE (with words) over which is better. If you dig comic books, check it out. ...
