Wii is for Grandma's and little girls who like Hello Kitty.

I am not a millionaire so I can't afford a PS3

Large Mocha, only one pump of chocolate, extra espresso shot. One of the advantages/disadvantages (depending on your point of view) to owning a restaurant is that I hold the keys to the espresso machine. Its not only a perk, its a responsibility. When i worked in a coffeehouse in college we used to ...

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen listening to podcasts: HHW LOD Murd's Time Bubble SModcast-Kevin Smith's weekly podcast A Life Well Wasted-Its This American Life about videogame culture Active Time Babble-My favorite RPG Podcast Weekend Confirmed-Great videogame podcast Talk Radar-another great...

I recently quit smoking. I've gone 77 hours and 30 minutes without a cigarette. You have the patience & willpower of a saint - I'm trying to severly cut down at the moment, but my housemates all smoke and I've never got past the twitching/intolerable rage part of the quitting process. Do you us...

I'm also a volunteer fire fighter, a father of two and grandfather of 1, hard to believe I know. Rus, you are a grandpa?! Wow! I didn't realise, no offence, but how old are you? Sorry, I guess what I am trying to say is that I thought all the dudes were were sorta 30's, I didn't realise that you mu...

After finally finishing Fallout 3, the main game at least. I'm hitting Final Fantasy XIII hard core now. It's growing on me. Still think they missed the mark but Square knows how to present a game. I love me some squaresoft cut scenes. I will probably play Fallout 3 again before Fallout:New Vegas c...

I have been tracking down the Secret Wars figure/comic 2-packs. Ultron! Hawkeye! Black-costume Spidey! Also am having a toy jones for those McFarlane Halo figs and vehicles. Unfortunately my wallet does not want to cooperate...

I think the thing that bothered me the most was that Peter Parker was some sort of "Chosen One". One of the main plot pillars of Spider-Man is that Peter is an everyman, a nobody who lucked into spider powers and thus became somebody not because of his powers but because of how he chose to...

Andre Braugher is an interesting choice for Darkseid but I will miss Michael Ironside.

I wholeheartedly agree with both of your picks, Jordan. Rage-The new id engine 5.0 running in all of its HD glory was a beautiful sight to behold. This game is like Fallout and Borderlands had a good looking kid and taught him how to play Doom. Fallout:New Vegas: A big favorite of mine (and some of ...

I'm with you on the Crackdown 2. The demo is on XBLA right now and it is a whole lot of fun. I got totally addicted to collecting ALL of the agility orbs last time.

Lately for me in the kitchen its been...

Can't wait to listen and watch!

Hey everybody! Jim Dietz here. I'm head chef and owner of Gypsy Cafe (http://www.gypsycafe.net), a CGS Frekin Sweer award winner, and the Champion of the Pittsburgh Comicon Trivia Challenge this year, after a hotly contested final round against Mario Muscar. I love MST3K, adult swim, videogames both...

I enjoyed this episode a lot as we get to play to our varying strengths. Jordan obviously watches way more TV than I do. I tried Glee and it was "meh" to me. I watched the pilot of Rubicon on line and am interested as it reminds me of the interesting conspiracy episodes of the XFiles (thin...

I remember liking this the first time I saw it. It was called "True Lies".

Sorry I can't get over the formula or my hatred of Tom Cruise long enough to watch this one. I don't like Cameron Diaz either. She's like Derek Zoolander; she's got one look and that is it.

Just wanted to start a thread about what is currently spinning in our disk trays. I am LOVING Red Dead Redemption, and I have to admit I spend just as much time just riding around and enjoying the beautiful scenery as I do completing missions. The Treasure Hunt is probably my favorite if the cougars...
