The Doom Dispatch: Ubisoft and the Death of Fun
“Art has never been made while thinking of art.”
- Niko Stumpo
“I shit on the chest of Fun.”
- Hunter S. Thompson
Leave it to Roger Ebert to make THIS film critic write about video games. I’m sure anyone who would click on an article that has “Ubisoft” in the title has read about Ebert and his decree that video games are not art. There has been ranting, raving, pissing, and moaning to the contrary from everyone under the age of thirty who hasn’t seen the sun since the PS2 came out...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!

D&D Creator Gary Gygax Dies
Gary Gygax, co-creator of the popular fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. He was 69.
Gygax had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax.
Along with Dave Arneson, Gygax created the original D&D game in 1974 that spawned a phenomenon still thriving today and also co-founded the company Tactical Studies Rules (TSR), which published the first D&D game. After breaking with TSR in 1985, Gygax went on to create Dangerous Journeys and Lejendary Adventure RPGs, as well as a number of board games.

It was supposed to be a lightning quick and perfect bank robbery, as five military veterans lead by the codenamed Mr. Wolf (John Leguizamo) assault a Pittsburgh bank, steal the millions of dollars that have just been delivered, and head off into the sunset in the waiting getaway car. But when variables beyond their control foil their plot, they are forced to hole up inside the bank with the terrified hostages. As S.W.A.T. take their positions and await further instructions, so do the curious crowd and media reports take theirs. Amidst this confusion is Horst Cali (Donnie Wahlberg), a top-ranked negotiator who has never lost a hostage...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Things here in the UK can be a little tame.
Therefore, isn't it any wonder that the missus and I seek the need to look further a field to satiate our somewhat lowbrow interests? I say this, not because I'm some kind of deviant (albeit desirable), but because as I've often stated in my past reviews that the UK, Britain, England offers very little compared to the likes of Los Angeles, America, or the World in general...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

DVD Review: Caillou's Family Favorites
Caillou's Family Favorites
Animated
PBS/Paramount Home Video
Available February 26, 2008
Sometimes you don’t need a lot of flashy graphics or madcap zany mayhem to reach pre-schoolers and toddlers.
Sometimes, you just need simple stories and simple animation.
Caillou falls into the latter category. Caillou is a cartoon series based on the series of books by Christine L'Heureux and illustrator Hélène Desputeaux. In the series, Caillou is a 4-year-old who is learning while growing up, and getting into a little mischief but always learning his lesson in the end.
His family includes his mother Doris, father Boris, sister Rosie, and his Grandma and Grandpa. They help teach him about life and learning from his actions. The slogan of the show is “Growing Up Is The Greatest Adventure Of All” and anyone with small children knows that’s the truth!...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
