The Best Game You Didn’t Play In 2011… Saints Row: The Third! (Video)
If you’re a Grand Theft Auto fan, you should buy this. If you’re a person who enjoys cooperative play, you should buy this. Are you crazy? You should buy this. Saints Row: The Third, for all its brash offensiveness, enlists so many things that are fun in video games and gives them to you. And then explosions. I could sit here all day and go over how cool this game is and how much time I’ve planted in it (which I’ve done, anyway), but instead, I offer you a video montage of Cody and I ripping up the city of Steelport over the course of an evening. Check it out!

‘Napoleon Dynamite’ TV Review
I mentioned on our recent Caucus that I wasn’t turned away from the hype that Napoleon Dynamite got when it washed upon the population a few years ago. Everyone remembers the lines, the quirky characters, and the desolate Idaho setting, but what kept the movie fresh was its distinctive slow-paced humor. Since no one from the original film has had a career since its mid-00s limelight (Jim Heder continued to be Jim Heder, the married director/writer/producer Hess duo went on to produce Nacho Libre and Gentlemen Broncos, both relative failures) it makes sense that they would roll back to stock for another run at a regular paycheck. To its credit, it almost works.

I don’t think there is any game franchise that I’ve dumped more money in to than Halo. I’ve bought all of the games (including some special editions), I’ve read the books, and I even bought the Halo Legends DVD.
On November 15th, 2011 – the tenth anniversary of the release of the original Halo – Microsoft released Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, a completely remastered version of the original game. And I plunked down the cash for it, like I seem to do for everything with the word “Halo” on it.
But after playing the game, I’m having some buyer’s remorse.

Neil Diamond – Greatest Musician of All Time?
We’ve come to accept that the music industry treats our ear canals as their own personal toilet. Talent doesn’t come into question, nowadays, when signing an aspiring musician, all that is necessary is striking good looks in order to convince the easily manipulated amongst you that this hot new popstar actually wants to make love to your face…but only if you buy their CD. (I’m not thinking of anybody in particular whilst making such disparaging remarks, Justin Bieber) but to whomever may fit this category I’m about to school you on a true living legend, a musical behemoth, an insatiable lovemachine (just a guess but I mean, come on, nearly every one of his songs is about a different woman). That man is Neil Diamond. Read the rest of this article…
