“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The problem isn’t me…

… it’s you, according to Dr. John Becker: Watch the episode all the way through. It’s one of the funniest in the entire series- I couldn’t stop laughing throughout it. Ted Danson’s genius lies in his ability to portray a cranky...

Of COURSE the Chief would win

I mean, I’m surprised there was even any question about this: All respect to Captain America. He’s a badass. But when it comes to badassitude, the Master Chief not only broke the mould, he broke the scale. (Literally. Dude weighs 1,000lbs in full...

Now THAT is a hypercar

The new Ferrari FXX K is… quite something. As the author of this review very amusingly points out, the marketing bods at Fezza probably put in that space between the “FXX” and “K” in order to ensure that the car’s name...

Viva #Gamergate!

Andrew Klavan nails it with this one: #Gamergate is not simply about putting power back in the hands of gamers, where it belongs. It is the latest front in a culture war that dates back at least 50 years. And as I’ve said before, we are winning this war. We...

Rainbow Rising

Ronnie James Dio. Ritchie Blackmore. Jimmy Bain. Cozy Powell. Tony Carey. And the song “Stargazer”. This was, and is, quite simply one of the GREATEST rock albums OF ALL TIME. About the only thing I’ve ever heard that comes anywhere close to the...

Spirit of Spartans

Now this is what I call an epic workout: Of course, it’s still not nearly as badass as the original which inspired it: 300, by the way, is one of my favourite movies of all time. It’s unapologetically non-PC, deeply offensive when viewed through certain...

Desert Plains

No deep or interesting point to be made here- just sit back, pop open a beer, and enjoy the pure awesomeness of the legendary JUDAS PRIEST playing one of their greatest songs to the absolute best of their ability, way back in 1982: Share this: Share on X (Opens in new...

The original cranky misanthropic bastard

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, there was a criminally underrated sitcom called “Becker” starring Ted Danson as a grumpy, curmudgeonly, cheapskate GP working out of a run-down office in the Bronx. It focused on the many comic travails of his life,...

He really ISN’T human

Andreas Kisser, the guitarist for the once-legendary Brazilian thrashers SEPULTURA- yeah, that band- had some rather amusing things to say about their new drummer, Eloy Casagrande: “The SEPULTURA music, it’s very demanding drum-wise,” Andreas...

How to creep out a porn star

Well, just to be pedantic, I have to admit that she’s a former porn star. The requirements of precision notwithstanding, it’s interesting to see what it would take to weird out a woman like her. Evidently, some enterprising wags have figured out how...
