Any readers out there?  After many, many moons, you can get all five volumes of Dean Koontz "Frankenstein".  I started the series in 2007 and managed to stretch my loyalty out for five years.  I was not disappointed.  More after the jump.

Part of the reason we limped out of college with a five-figure student loan debt were those hours spent at the student union arcade playing ‘NFL Blitz.’

Yeah, I'm back on Netflix, barely. As you may know most of the stuff on the streaming service is horribly old and/or crappy. I accidentally signed back up when I thought they had some episodes of "Sons Of Anarchy" that I was missing. I still refuse the DVD by mail thing; with my bluray hooked up to my wireless internet, I can just buy or stream direct from Amazon.  Anyways, I digress. Th

‘Star Wars: The Old Republic’ is just about everything we could want in a video game.

You wouldn’t necessarily know it from listening to songs like ‘The Insidious Soliloquy of Skulhed Face’ or ‘The Master Has a Butt,’ but the members of GWAR are apparently huge film buffs. Well, okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch — but that didn’t keep lead singer Oderus Urungus and rhythm guitarist Balsac the Jaws of Death from reviewing Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ recently.

Think back to that classic ‘Jeopardy’ skit on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in which a Keanu Reeves impersonator says “I know kung-fu,” causing Alex Trebek to respond, “No, you don’t.” That’s ‘Kung-Fu High Impact’ for you.

You’re excused if you’ve last track of all the marquee video games that have hit shelves in the past several weeks. Just like Tim Tebow, game publishers hold back their best stuff for the end. Even those of us who play and read about games constantly have trouble keeping track of what’s out there.

Back in college we spent too much time playing Tekken games at the student union while everyone else was doing stuff like inventing Facebook, stealing the idea for Facebook, having sex or doing drugs.

The word on the 8-bit street is that the show’s principal creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are working with Obsidian, the makers of the “Fallout: New Vegas” series, on a RPG title based around the long running satirical cartoon series.

You’ve got to hand it to Nintendo– they are king at making the same game over and over again while adoring fans — us included — squeal with delight. You sell yourself again and again to us, claiming you’re different but you’re always the same...

If the movies ‘Cannonball Run’ and ‘Death Race 2000′ got it on in the back of a Dodge Charger, ‘Need for Speed: The Run‘ would be the spawn they’d battle for custody over nine months later.

Mock us if you must, but we’ve always been suckers for running around pretend forests while wearing green skirt-tunics and imagining we’re pointy-eared, boy heroes.
