Equipment: DaGeDar for the Nintendo DS

DaGedar for the Nintendo DS is based on the collectable marble game of the same name. As the player, you race against the clock to complete the laps on various tracks. Though the controls for the game are very easy it took me a small (I am being generous to myself) amount of time to get the hang of them. Continue reading

Transmissions: The Walking Dead…A Non-Zombie Fan’s Impression

I am in no way an expert on Zombies. In fact I hate them. I dislike the zombie genre. Zombies freak me the hell out. I know they are not real but when I was a kid I had a very realistic dream the night before my friends and I were supposed to see Dawn of the Dead. That dream ruined me. I have watched zombie movies since. When I said I dislike the zombie genre I have to admit that there are exceptions like Shaun of the Dead (awesome!) and the Resident Evil movies (so bad but a guilty pleasure) but I wouldn’t rush to the cinema to see a zombie flick. This brings me to The Walking Dead on AMC. I have heard since last year’s premiere that this was the best show on television and that I should be watching it but it didn’t appeal to me. I finally gave into peer pressure and now I am hooked.

(If you have not watched The Walking Dead but plan to watch it…STOP reading now…MAJOR SPOILERS) Continue reading
