The Sci-Fi Slacker: October 2009
http://sci-fislacker.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The good, the bad and the ugly of my particular corner of pop culture. Saturday, October 17, 2009. GameFly finally decided to make good on their promise to actually send me games from my GameQ and gave me the chance to play the new Dead Space. Unlike the Resident Evil style over the shoulder shooters that lent itself to the original Dead Space, Extraction is a rail shooter. So fans of the arcade style shooters will feel right at home. This is a good thing and a bad thing for the game. As a negative, it e...

The Sci-Fi Slacker: 2012
http://sci-fislacker.blogspot.com/2009/11/2012.html
The good, the bad and the ugly of my particular corner of pop culture. Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Tonight I caught a glimpse of the new Roland Emerick. Disaster film 2012 and I find myself incredibly torn when I try to decide whether or not I actually like it. Chapel really carried no emotional weight. In fact it wasn't until the end of the movie that any true sense of realization as to what happened sets in, but by then it's just too late. The entire cast, in fact, seemed entirely disconnected from wha...

The Sci-Fi Slacker: The Old Republic vs. World of Warcraft - Round 1
http://sci-fislacker.blogspot.com/2009/10/old-republic-vs-world-of-warcraft-round.html
The good, the bad and the ugly of my particular corner of pop culture. Saturday, October 3, 2009. The Old Republic vs. World of Warcraft. So I've been following the development of the upcoming MMO The Old Republic reasonably well but there still isn't a ton of information. As the game isn't slated the be released for another year that is to be expected. ToR has a pretty good start in this regard from what I've seen and my main focus for this entry will be in terms of the game's story. ToR has made the co...

The Sci-Fi Slacker: Lost... In Space!
http://sci-fislacker.blogspot.com/2009/10/lost-in-space.html
The good, the bad and the ugly of my particular corner of pop culture. Saturday, October 3, 2009. No, not that Lost in Space. I'm referring to the new Stargate. The questionably anticipated premiere of this show went off with, in this reviewers opinion, a bang! The show starts off with a very lonely and mysterious sounding theme and a long shot of a very large star ship. The slow pan comes to a stop as the camera arrives in the ship's gate room, where the stargate. Does this sound familiar? Format that t...

The Sci-Fi Slacker: Iron Man + Suck = G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
http://sci-fislacker.blogspot.com/2009/10/iron-man-suck-gi-joe-rise-of-cobra.html
The good, the bad and the ugly of my particular corner of pop culture. Saturday, October 3, 2009. Iron Man Suck = G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. So Meghan and I were driven out of our home this weekend by a rowdy duo of asshats watching football, drinking wild turkey and whooping and yelling at the players because, well, if a couple of fat assholes can't dictate how a football game is played then who should? Don the same mask. Yeah, I know, cinematic genius. /sarcasm off. Flash forward to a scene directly ...
