Dorkgasm Gonzo Is God

            Years ago, back on a little ol’ system known as the Microsoft Xbox, there was a huge selling title called Halo that single handedly kept the system afloat for its first year as stinker after stinker rolled out from development teams everywhere. Bungie brought the best that PC gaming had to offer for the First Person Shooter genre to consoles and showed everyone how multiplayer could be done. Now, six years later, Halo has returned riding the most massive video game hype train ever conceived with the third edition to the series, Halo 3.

A whole mess of really fun ads for Halo!?!? Maybe a movie really can work!

            As we know from previous week’s villains, Death takes some of our creative and interesting minds. They, like so many of us, have numerous projects that were started and never finished. Sometimes these projects are mostly finished but, due to unforeseen circumstance or sudden demise, they remain unpolished and unpublished. What many of these authors have in common, aside from the obvious, is family. This leads us to our villain of the week this week, people who publish unfinished works of great authors.

            My Monday night was not wasted watching some shitty football game I could care less about. I spent it watching NBC’s new fall lineup. The first new show on the agenda was Chuck.

            Last night marked the premiere of the CW’s new comedy Reaper. Before I get into the actual beans of the show, let’s look at the set-up. Sam, (Bret Harrison, Boston Public, That 70’s Show) has just turned 21 years old. His parents, who have been surprisingly lax with Sam when compared to his brother, are acting a little bit odd. For one, his father is outwardly encouraging him to go out on a complete and utter bender. Then, his mother breaks down into tears and flees the room.

            When I first saw the ads for Journeyman I, like so many others, thought it was going to be another Quantum Leap. A guy jumping to different times changing things for the better, you know the routine. However, like all the new shows NBC has put out this year, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. Moreover, while the jury is still out, the first episode is worth watching.

            Okay, it’s time to take the Browns to the Super Bowl, if you know what I mean. I should take a game in with me to ease the time passage! While most of my other games are too involved to take along, one game always makes the trip with me.

            Gone are the days of strange noises and slow motion when are hero uses her “super” powers. Gone are fanciful explanations of robotic implants. Now everything is real time and the only sound is the air whizzing past. Now we have robotic limbs and a nanotech explanation instead. NBC’s remake of the Bionic Woman, in my opinion, shows real promise.
