My Review of Epic Mickey Two
I know I have reported on Epic Mickey Two twice already. The first time was its initial announcement, and the second time was when I got a chance to play it at PAX last summer and even rub shoulders with Warren Spector, the game's creator. If you aren't familiar with Epic Mickey, it is a new game franchise with Mickey as the hero, but the setting is very intriguing. … [Read more...] about My Review of Epic Mickey Two
Sprout’s economic and eco-friendly watches
I have to admit that I don't really review many watches on this site. I'm actually surprised that people use them, because most carry around a cellular phone that has the time.

I know that I have said this before, but the only difference between a smartphone and a laptop is a bigger screen and a clickity-click keyboard.

Sony Pictures have allowed Men in Black 3 to have a special interactive edition known as Movie Touch.

I want to live in this Origami House
Every once in a while, I like watching some movie with CG effects to show what it would be like to live in some fairy-tale like city. The other day, I was watching that Thor movie, and while I didn't really like the film, I enjoyed seeing its portrayal of the Golden Realm of Asgard.
