I Bring Nothing to the Table

  • Official Spoiler Rules [ER/IB]

    I think a standardized set of rules regarding spoilers would do the world a lot of good. All of these fine actors agree.

  • Zainichi Funk: Japanese Funk You Can’t Forget [F/ER]

    Have you ever found yourself thinking, “Self, what would kickass Japanese funk sound like?” Well, it would sound a lot like 在日ファンク (Zainichi Funk) The above song, “爆弾こわい” (“Bakugan Kowai” or “Scary Bomb”) is…awesome. Give it a listen. You might be disappointed if you have no soul, but I can’t see not liking it otherwise.

  • The Mariners Have Creative Ad Men [WMQ/ER]

    Your browser does not support iframes. I love the punch line in the impressions one (I LOVE ICHIRO!). The other great one is this riff on Rocky: Your browser does not support iframes.

  • Ever Have One of Those Days… [ER/F]

    …where you think, “I should exclusively cover K-Pop on my blog from now on!”? No? :ahem: Me neither. Pshhh…that would be weird. Anyway, here’s a cover of “Gee” (originally by Girls’ Generation) by Nylon Pink I can’t promise I won’t do this anymore, but god help me if I keep falling down this terrible K-Pop […]

  • Mass Effect 3 Impressions [GO]

    I’m about 66-75% through the game so I don’t think I can claim first impressions anymore. Here’s what I think: NOTE: I’m planning on avoiding story spoilers, but if you want to know absolutely nothing, don’t read this. – Remember the interface and flow of Mass Effect 2’s combat? It’s back! It’s pretty much identical, […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 12 March 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Smoke alarms! They notify us about fires, but they also incessantly beep when their batteries are low. It’s tough to sleep when that happens and you don’t have 9V batteries laying around. Oh, yeah, also Mass Effect 3 came out this week and obliterated my TV watching. Movies Wanderlust – Sharing a lot of the […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 5 March 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    I don’t think it’s possible for you all to understand how pumped I am for baseball to come back this year. It’s been a long, hard offseason, but spring training is off the ground and I’m super pumped. Movies Higher Ground – Vera Farmiga (and her sister Taissa) stars in this intelligent movie about a […]

  • March Movie Preview [FB]

    Looks like a much more interesting release month than February. I’ve got interest in The Hunger Games and Casa de Mi Padre for sure, but some of the others are question marks. Will Friends With Kids be funny enough to watch? 21 Jump Street has as much chance of being terrible as not (who am […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 27 Feb 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It was a hectic, busy weekend that resulted in me becoming an uncle. So glad that the delivery was ok, but now I’m crossing my fingers for everyone to get healthy soon. Movies Almost watched one this week! Didn’t though. TV Justified – The stuff with the organ thieves was awesome. Also the scenes with […]

  • Final Fantasy XIII-2 Impressions [GO]

    Man, oh man…If I asked you which Final Fantasy game you were most hoping for a sequel to, would you have said XIII? No, of course not. I wrote quite the lengthy post about how Squeenix should have allowed the complete destruction of mankind in the ending of XIII and I also gave them far […]
