it takes all kinds
I watched the Heroes finale with my best friend on Monday night. We were not altogether thrilled, but the episode was passable (and would have been even better had last week's not sucked so...

long, long weekend
I cat-sat this weekend. They have HBO and Showtime On Demand over there, so I watched a total of four movies, 22 TV episodes, and an HBO special on PETA's Ingrid Newkirk (interesting, but...

The Funniest Thing in the World
The past month has been a flurry of TV watching and video game playing. No joke--I've never been so busy, entertainment-wise. And my friends are such enablers. They've got me hooked on Battlestar...

Best. Emmys. Ever.
Wow...what great results at the Emmys this year! In terms of entertainment value, the ceremony was markedly lacking--one questionable or unfunny joke after another, with a few strange musical...

got me a job
Well, I am a closed captioner once again. It's not writing for TV exactly, but it's as close as I can get without a polished spec script or two. Unfortunately, all I've captioned so...

two reality shows, one conflict
This week, I watched two episodes of Dog Whisperer and two episodes of The Pick-Up Artist . They sound pretty different, but while watching one show, I kept thinking about the other. They both...

PUA on TV: Trying to Keep an Open Mind
Last fall, one of my friends broke up with his girlfriend of nine years, and ever since then he's developed a keen interest in pick-up artistry (PUA). I am pretty interested in social and...

video game music I own
Earthbound : This is one of my favorite games of all time, and the soundtrack is part of the reason...especially Paula's Home, Snow Wood Boarding House, Winters...and most of the battle themes...

Goodbye, that other game...hello, Haunting Ground!
I beat FFXII today, and the overwhelming feeling is relief. It's the first time I'm approaching regret at how much time I put into a game. I'm not sure I would have been so persistent if it...

sweet predictability
What a thrill predicting the last line of the seventh episode of Dexter , and right at the beginning of the scene, too. That show has the quality I look for most in a drama: even when I can see...

FFXII: The Second 100 Hours
That's right, I hit the 100-hour mark yesterday in Final Fantasy XII. Definitely above average, and it might even turn out to be a record. So...when does the story get interesting?

ooh...denied
Exactly 50% of my rejected submissions have been due to apparent bugs on TV.com. At least now I have an excuse not to demand perfection of myself! But seriously...it's more a hassle than...

I only watched one episode...
Last night I dreamed that everyone had to leave home for good. I gathered up all my valuables and tried to find a big bag for all my clothes and other necessities, wondering to myself what would be...

rating system, part 2
When rating a TV episode, we're instructed to weigh it against other episodes of the show. How does that work exactly? What if I've never seen other episodes? Do I have to rate the...

setting as character
I've been enjoying Season 3 of Veronica Mars, but I understand why critics don't seem to like it as much as the high school years. Neptune High was introduced, developed, and became almost...

diversity!
A big thank you to whoever agreed with my negative review on the new series Code Monkeys. Sure, the show has an average rating of "superb." And maybe I should have saved that review for the...

Hack
Okay, so I just finished my spec script for 30 Rock. Great accomplishment and everything, but does anyone know how to get something postmarked on a Sunday? Yeah, I'm screwed.

Rating system
I wonder how frequently people using the ratings of 1 and 10. I'm guessing it's a lot. Sometimes it seems like the rating is determined by ratio of 10 to 1 votes. I try use 1 and 10 votes...

Season 6 of 24 was crap, but still...
I couldn't help but notice that my review of 24: Day 6: Episode 4 is listed twice on the episode page. Believe me, that was not my intention. I realize that I did not enjoy the season opener...

I'm new here
Two thoughts occur to me during my first venture over to GameSpot: When exactly do I get to start reviewing? That's really what I want to do here. I'd like to share my unpopular views on...
