Cellphone Bliss

I’ve got to hand it to myself; not only am I totally radical… I still haven’t gone wireless. The other day just out of curiosity, I got online and opened up the websites of every cellphone company there is: Verizon, Nextel, Cingular, T-Mobile, Sprint PCS, VirginMobile, AT&T, and many, many more. Actually that’s it.
After hours [...]

What If I’m Gay?

What makes me sick is how militantly gay some gay people are. I mean it’s like they have to force their gayness on you like it’s some kind of fashion statement. Sure, you have the right to do what you want. But you DON’T have the right to take away MY RIGHT to BELIEVE what [...]

Todd TV

When I first saw the ads for this show, I figured it was going to be off the hook. After watching a couple of episodes, I realized that it definitely has the potential to be just that - if they get rid of Todd. I’ve never seen such a whiny piece of trash in my [...]

Samurai Jack

An ancient samurai warrior wielding an enchanted sword who battles the evil,
shape-shifting master Aku, only to be catapulted into the future via a magic
time portal where he must battle robots, henchmen of Aku, and bounty hunters
of the near and far future, all to discover a way back through time to face Aku
and deal the killing [...]

Medal of Honor: Frontline

Currently the second-to-newest game in the MOH saga, with Rising Sun being the newest (a review on RS is forthcoming). Frontline is a first-person shooter with levels covering everything from the D-Day invasion of 1942 to espionage missions where you infiltrate enemy submarines, bases, and supply depots. Everything about this game is quality; I originally [...]

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

The reason I got Playstation 2 was because of this game. The scene: 1980’s Miami (the City of Vice, hence the name). You’re Tommy Vercetti, a remorseless ex-con who’s just taken a trip down south. You’ve fallen on hard times when a drug deal gone wrong puts you in debt - a million dollars’ worth. [...]

MXC is a fast-paced, reality game show in which the contestants compete to win absolutely nothing. This show has everything you could possibly want: cheap Japanese voice-overs, twisted humor, and lots of people getting wrecked. I gave this television show a rating of 5 out of 5 exclamation points on the sweetcripes scale of awesomeness.
MXC [...]

Final Fantasy X

Can you believe it’s been so long since the very first FF title, back in the heyday of the Nintendo gaming system? Final Fantasy X really breaks the mold all over again with stunning graphics, intuitive gameplay and an incredibly detailed storyline. The downfall of this game, if anything, is the extremely lengthy video clips. [...]

Battle Engine: Aquila

Wow… if the future is like this, it’s going to kick some major buns. The Battle Engine: Aquila is an all-purpose war robot that can convert itself from a land-walking, death-dealing machine to a jet-propelled aircraft.
The premise is that water has swallowed most of the planet Allium’s land masses, and two warring tribes are in [...]

Smoke This

It seems like the hot topic nowadays is the ban on smoking. Ireland has done it, Washington, D.C. is doing it, and I’m sure there will be more locales to follow. Fact is, both Ireland and D.C. have something in common. They each pulled out a giant can of “go give yourself cancer somewhere else” [...]

College Should Be…

College Should Be Called “A Bunch of Work For Nothing”
Have you ever thought about what makes college suck so much? What really makes professors so ornery? Most likely it’s the fact that all teachers are a failed attempt at something else. Speaking of professors, they all suck. To quote Jack Black from the top of [...]

Somewhat enthusiastically I decided to sign up for an introductory course in political science at the beginning of this semester after hearing that I was required to take a social studies elective. Out of the three social studies options including psychology, sociology, and political science, I had already taken an advanced psychology course in high [...]
