Entertainment Unfiltered
Maybe I’m not the best person to make this list. TV has gotten so goddamn good in the last few years that it’s impossible to absorb it all; moreover, as you’ll see, my tastes skew more towards drama than comedy. Here’s a small sampling of shows that I didn’t get around to watching this year: […]
Under the Dome has carefully, expertly painted itself into a corner with everything involving Zenith, Aktaion Energy, and Pauline Rennie. This can be a risky but rewarding stortytelling tactic, because most often the best way to resolve a crazy problem is with an even crazier solution. But Under the Dome tries something quite novel: it […]
(Author’s Note: sorry this didn’t go up yesterday, but I was in court all day over a damn fix-it ticket and really didn’t feel like sitting through Tyrant when I got home.) How this show is sitting at an 8.4 on IMDb is anyone’s guess. For my money, the best part of “My Brother’s Keeper” […]
Remember last week when I said that these columns are easy to do with a hangover? Let’s find out if that’s true. The Equalizer finds Denzel Washington in full Man on Fire mode as he sets out to rescue Chloe Moretz and her uncomortably short dress from Johnny Crowder. If this is half as […]
“Everything can be forgiven if the work is good.” Remember the Soska Sisters? They were poised to become the next big thing in horror; the Canadian twins were even the first filmmakers, ever, to remake a film from fellow Canuck David Cronenberg (Rabid). Then, through some imbroglio involving Twitter’s policies on posting graphic photos, they […]
“We have such sights to show you.” I figured I owed Clive Barker a fairer shake than I initially gave him when I shat all over Hellraiser a few years ago. Sure, his brand of baroque Gothic sexual deviance isn’t quite up my alley in terms of horror, but so many writers and filmmakers – […]

Theorycraft Games has revealed SUPERVIVE (previously codenamed ‘Project Loki’) as the title of their first game, which will enter open beta in late 2024. SUPERVIVE is a neon-apocalyptic hero BR, set in an improvisational action sandbox where strategic, explosive shootouts meet a new era of storm chasing hunters – all with the aim of becoming […]
You’ve got a little less than 2 months. Not content with merely keeping what the people want from them, David Zaslav strikes again. This time, Warner Bros. plans to delist all of the games published through Adult Swim Games on Steam and all consoles they were available on. The news initially came via developer Owen […]
Sometimes you need a nice and relaxing game whose only job is to make you feel happy while playing and maybe manage to bring a tear to your eye in unexpected ways wouldn’t hurt either. A Tiny Sticker Tale from the fine folks over at Ogre Pixel is one such title that was a pure […]
Thunder Ray is the sort of video game that comes out of left field and ends up being one of the nicest surprises of the year. The team at Purple Tree have created the almost perfect spiritual successor to Punch Out. Well, more like a follow to Power Punch 2, but that’s a whole nother […]
Looks like only the EU is okay with it. The Federal Trade Commission has sued to, temporarily at least, block the Microsoft/Activision merger. Filed Monday in San Francisco, the suit aims to obtain a temporary restraining order and injunction to block the absolutely massive $69 billion deal. Previously, the deal got the go ahead from […]
