Over the last several weeks (… well, months, actually), I’ve been binge-watching Seasons 2-17 of THE GREATEST TV SHOW OF ALL T- er, I mean, TOP GEAR*. Last night I was watching Series 17, Episode 4, and the guest for that episode was, of course, the...

It’s been quite a while since I last did one of these, so I figured I might as well take a few moments to put together a few interesting tidbits discovered from across teh interwebz that do not individually merit a full-blown post. And we start with: Dat Ass...

And if BATTLE BEAST has anything to say about the subject, they’re bloody well here to stay: These guys opened for SABATON on Friday night, and I have to say, they were BADASS. Normally, any band that hits the stage before SABATON is going to be in for a rather...

Martin Steene and Kirk Bacharach aren’t exactly household names, even among metalheads, but over the last year or so I have come to greatly appreciate their work in a Danish band called IRON FIRE. The lineup is really a revolving door of musicians with an...

President Donald Trump- dear Lord Almighty, I don’t think I’m ever going to get tired of saying those words- held a press conference on Thursday which was… quite the performance. Actually, a correction is in order there. The event was...

HALO WARS was not, by any stretch of anybody’s imagination, the best HALO game ever. It wasn’t even in the top five. It is difficult, after all, to imagine an RTS game making much sense in a universe generally defined by what was originally a...
