It's the tits. You'd think a final fantasy game would be massively over-hyped, it's a shame that the first Final Fantasy game deserving of such praise is released to the sound of mass yawning.

After so many glowing reviews, I couldn't put off this game any further. I'd already tried the demo and decided it wasn't worth what they were charging for it, but then I hear about it on the 1up show, on podcasts, on every message board known to man, and I knew I had to yield and see what the fuss was about beyond the first world. Well that was a stupid mistake, the game turns out to offer a m...

I finally got around to getting back into music today. I know that's a strange sentence, but I've been neglecting the music scene for a good while. I got around to checking out the latest from Christ., The Roots, DJ Cam and Daedelus. Yeah guess what I'm going to write some words about them.

Kind of like Doom and Quake. Honorable mentio...

It is often assumed that the hamburger is unhealthy. Often the portrait of obesity in western culture is painted by the media with beef paint on a sesame bun canvas, but no. These people are misguided, skewed and slanted, biased and dangerously so. It is true that in the hands of the evil, the hamburger can be a fatty food, but the real culprit here is not a man's lust for life, but rather his...
