Will I watch Watchmen?
Feb 27th
The Comedian's Symbol
I’m sure most of you have seen the trailers, read the articles and pretty much followed the story behind the creation of Zac Snyder‘s Watchmen film. They promote more than the US armed forces and have spent over 100 Million bucks on the damn thing already. Also, if you live in Vancouver you might have noticed the shoot last year taking place all over downtown.
I’m not a big Snyder fan. I thought 300 was cool to look at for like 5 minutes, then it felt a little too much like a really long opening to gay porn (not that More >
The Little Things

J-j-j-j-Geee-Mail
What a frosty good morning to everyone out there in Vancouver and the surrounding areas (Surrey not included cause it’s scary and full of drug dealing criminals….). This isn’t going to be long, but I thought I’d share how a tiny, insignificant thing has brightened up my week.
I’m a Gmail whore – as some of you know. I won’t even activate my own personal email for my business because I like the tag “@gmail.com” so much. Lame and a little strange, I know, but blah, this is my blog not yours.
Anyway, I send a lot of files through Gmail and More >
Info from the Wizard’s Den
Feb 25th
Wizard Defense
Gotta credit Miles for the term “Wizard’s Den,” it’s the name of the room he coined for the WD office over at Big Park. First off, thanks so much for supporting Wizard Defense so far. It’s only been public for a few days now and we’ve been getting a lot of players. I don’t scour the message boards, but I have been getting a few questions from friends that might need some answering in order for them to see the full potential of the game.
So without further ado, here are 3 FAQ’s (okay, maybe not so frequently):

The Nostalgic PC
Feb 24th
Back in my day...
So as some of you already know, I’ve been “working” for the last month – like in an actual office and stuff….
Anyways, along with waking up with the rest of the world and packing a lunch in the morning, there are a lot of changes. One big one – one that has taken some time to adjust to, is going back to a PC for most of the day. I’m a mac user. Flat out, I love OSX, I’m used to all of the UI’s and I have a routine of things that I do on my More >
Your 3 millionth Oscar Roundup
Feb 23rd
The most famous naked man in Hollywood
Good morning everyone. I’m assuming everyone watched, or at the very least acknowledged the fact that the Oscars were on TV last night. I’m not going to come out and be all Gawker about it and pretend that this is your best and only source of good info, so read the following with the intention of reading another review from a credible source.
Okay, the good:
Ahem… Honestly, Wolverine did a pretty nice job. He brought a lot of Tony’isms with him to the show, but really brought that movie star quality host back from the More >
Judd’s Funny People Will Resurrect Sandler
Feb 22nd
Finally a Good Sandler Flick
I just took my first look at Judd Apatow‘s next release and I will reiterate – dude’s got skill. Funny People not only looks hilarious, it seems to have that warm-hearted quality that most of his films hide in the backseat. Sure his classics involve a myriad of dick and ass jokes, but behind all of that – behind the grotesque language and the ridiculous situations – is always a flick that will make you feel like you just watched someone change. Everything he’s done from 40 Year Old Virgin to Knocked Up and now Funny People, embodies this More >
Nice, I like it, its Wizard

Wizard Defense
Today is official launch day! Wizard Defense hits the Interweb in full today at 6PM PST. You can actually go to the site and start playing now, but the leaderboard will be reset at 6PM today so try it out and then come back later to see where you stack up against everyone else.
Wizard Defense Gameplay
Wizard Defense is my very first venture into the gaming world as a writer. Sure I play a lot of games (some say too much) but this is the first time I’ve ever been involved with the creation of something like this. Built in the More >
Game Drops Tomorrow!
Feb 19th
One of the characters from WD
What’s up everyone?
So if you’ve been following this blog you might remember a few posts back that we’re “this close” to dropping our first game (and if you haven’t been following then you’re one of MANY). The free flash tower defense game is still in Beta right now, but at some point tomorrow everything will be good to go.
As this is my first ever video game script you can probably tell that I’m pretty nervous about the release. The story that I can tell about the game without falling into NDA territory is that the More >
