It’s a movie that’s polarized critics and fans alike, but my opinion is the only one that matters! I watched the Watchmen, now you get to watch my review.

You may not think having a cold is that debilitating, but you don’t have a nose as big as mine! The common cold becomes a mucus blockage of epic proprotions, and the first thing to go is the ability to breathe while sleeping. Focus goes next, and with it, comedy!
But the irrational anger never dies…

Because of an upcoming dentist appointment, I’m recording a spur-of-the-moment review of my latest movie rental, Bruce Campbell’s “My Name is Bruce.”
Sorry for the change in location and the focusing issues; I recorded this very late at night on a different camera and it had a finicky auto-focus.

I rented Max Payne from the video store. Payne to the Max, more like!
You can have a great, classic game and still have a horrible time playing it, if you suck. And few people suck at Street Fighter 4 more than me.
Believe me, I spent about 18 hours figuring that out.
Lastly, I went to see the movie Fanboys with my girl Friday (actually, it was Monday). Could the movie suck even more than The Phantom Menace, or is the Force strong with these geeks?

My quest for a quick, convenient time-killer has led me once again to the verdant, Moogle-infested land of Ivalice, as I do a quick review of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
I haven’t played a Tactics game since the original PS1. How does it fare? Let’s just say that there are many words I would choose to describe this game, but “Tactics” isn’t one of them. Maybe “Shopping,” or “Micromanagement.”
Or maybe “Boredom.” Yeah. Let’s stick with that.
Edit: I probably didn’t express myself well enough to explain why I didn’t like the job system of Tactics A2. Not only do you have to switch jobs, but you have to constantly manage equipment specific to those jobs. The abilities you learn for each job are specific to the piece of equipment, not the job itself. So a White Mage carrying nothing learns nothing; he has to carry a Rod long enough to learn Cure, then carry a Healing Staff to learn Cura.
This is a major switch from simply learning class abilities through experience. Now you have to be in the job AND be carrying specific items before you can learn abilities. It’s extremely frustrating having to keep this in mind for over six characters, each of which has at least a dozen jobs to choose from, and each job has several powers to learn.
