Okay, so it's now Monday but it was a fun one.

Five characters who are the best in the world at what they do.

1) Sherlock Holmes, the world's only Consulting Detective (obviously) - Sherlock

2) Charlie Eppes, Mathematician - Numb3rs

3) Commander Shepard, SPECTRE, savior of the galaxy - Mass Effect

4) Ian Edgerton, sniper - Numb3rs5) Tyrion ( Read more... )

#1: Female action heroes. Discuss. I'm not sure I entirely agree with her last point. Doesn't James Bond constantly sex his way past people? We see Tony Stark using his charm, too. I will grant you those are only two characters, but still. But then you also have this. Warning for stupid, stupid man saying incredibly insulting things about ( Read more... )

Slate's Troy Patterson talks a little about Elementary here. Apparently he finds it interesting but I remain unconvinced. I'd probably be more generous if it weren't for the incredible BBC adaptation. I suppose it's good that Sherlock is at least from London even if he's now in the US. I'm reasonably certain that the only reason House worked ( Read more... )

NCIS was made of awesome. NCIS:LA, on the other hand, was made of slash. Made of it, I tell you! Could not be any more obvious than if they'd actually had sex on screen. Which is to say, good times!

The Warehouse 13 finale was interesting. Does anyone know if it's been renewed?

Tonight: Glee! Also: Nostradamus: Disaster 2012. Because that' ( Read more... )

Hey! So, I'm not dead. Really. And I am capable of posting about things other than books. I think ( Read more... )

The game opens with the "Prince" looking for Farrah. In previous games, Farrah was the princess, in this game, Farrah is the donkey. The princess in this game, Elika, drops in on the prince (literally) shortly thereafter and our story begins. ( Insert Something Witty Here )

It's been a while since I played Episode 1, but I figured I'd review Episodes 1 and 2 together.

As usual my extended family had a Superbowl gathering. (By extended I just mean me, my parents, and my brother's family). I spent the first half playing video games with my nephew, who is 13. We played a lot of Castle Crashers, which I enjoyed and if I wasn't the most competent, well, I also had a starting level character whereas the other ( Read more... )

One of my goals this year was to write more about the games I'm playing and I'd been intending to write a post about Fable II when I saw raeyashi's request for more information about the game. So, here's that post.

I actually posted a few stories of my own this year so I'm proud of myself for that. Enough that I probably could have done the fic writing meme except that two of the answers were pretty easy and I couldn't seem to answer the rest. It was interesting going back and rereading things. There were a few stories where I cringed a little as I read ( Read more... )
