The wife rolls her eyes when I go moving things around in the living room, but with this new TV I want to get a new stand so I can get rid of this big honking entertainment unit that surrounded the old TV. Good thing I don’t have rheumatoid arthritis or anything cause moving [...]
So my new TV finally arrived a few days ago but you must know by now how upset I am that I’ve waited for more than 1.5 months for it. I ordered it on Boxing Day and had to spend hours hunting it down with Future Shop and when they finally made the arrangements [...]
You can’t throw a dead cat in my store without hitting a zombie movie these days, they’re everywhere! Zombieland, Carriers, Zombie Strippers (rotten tits anyone?) no amount of face cream can help those poor gals out. I haven’t had a chance to watch any of the recent ones yet, having a 6 [...]
To go along with my new TV (some day, if it ever shows up, damn you Futureshop!) I had a chance to pick up a Bravia 5.1 system. 850 watts, smaller speakers than my current setup but damn did it sound nice. And it’ll take up less room, especially the sub which is [...]
So here we are the 16th of January. My TV has been marked as “Successfully shipped” since the end of December. And where do you suppose my TV currently is? According to customer support, it’s still IN THEIR DAMN WAREHOUSE!! I can understand that the holiday’s may have caused some delays [...]
It’s absolutely mind boggling to think of the amount of product a company like Futureshop goes through over the holidays. Take their current boxing day sale as an example. Many of the TVs they have on sale were available in quantities of 3000 or more, and they’ve sold out! I finally cashed [...]
There’s so few good shows on during the summer months that we hardly watch TV at all until right about now when all the new seasons start up. I was pretty disappointed when I found out that 2 of my favorites from last year have been canceled though. Reaper and Terminator were both [...]
Everytime I read about Japanese gamers.. and how some would die in front of their computer or gaming system, it never failed to leave me flabbergasted. How do one get to this extreme and ignore their health and even their life. Someone that I came to know online was on disability insurance played [...]
This ‘old’ 53″ rear projection Panasonic I’ve got is a nice TV, but the TV and entertainment center combined are taking up a rather large chunk or our living room. I’d rather have a nice slim LCD or Plasma, something around 50″, and a TV stand to put it on. It’s an excuse [...]
Happened across a cool blog today that is just loaded with information on super cars; Ferrari, Audi, Buggati, Lamborghini and dozens more. Only the fastest and coolest cars will be found here with news articles, inside information and drool-worthy pictures. I’ll never be able to afford a machine like those, but I can [...]
I finally got around to watching No Country for Old Men a couple of days ago, it had mixed reviews, some saying it was great others saying it was horrible. I’m firmly in the ‘horrible’ camp. The pacing was so slow it reminded me of Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, which was the slowest [...]
Every Tuesday or when I remember, I head over to The Escapist Magazine to check out the new review by Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation). Once a week he reviews a video game and typically rips it apart, but in a good way. They are very entertaining and in some cases have even gotten the [...]
Yup, it sounds like the title of a cheesy horror flick, but in fact it’s a new way to terrorize your friends. We’ve all seen the lovely e-cards that cheapskates friends like to send around during the holidays and special occasions. Company 81 has taken the greeting to the next level by allowing [...]
I heard rumor today that one of the other little video stores in town is closing up. The source isn’t the most reliable when it comes to rumors however, so I’ll just have to go do some snooping of my own to see if there’s any truth to it. If it does close [...]
