About
Hello Guys and Dolls,
I'm putting this up so that I make sure my blog complies with FTC regulations.
As far as my reviews of books, video games, car parts, etc. goes, I am not being directly compensated for the reviews I do (I have been adding links to Amazon and other places if I get paid for referrals). If I am being directly compensated I will explicitly state the fact within the post.
Either way, if I haven't actually had experience with something I won't review it. I figure anyone that reads my reviews wants an honest opinion on product.
With that said, happy reading!

I found myself watching the best movie review I have ever seen for the the third time. This thing is 70 minutes long and I suggest if you are at all of a fan of Star Wars that you watch this scathing review of Episode 1.
I will admit when I saw this the first time I thought Episode 1 was cool. But then again I was ~16 and didn't understand film all that well (I still don't), and this guy puts a point on so many things that are WRONG with Episode 1.
(Before you go on, I'm going to give a warning about some strong language.)
Here are some convenient links so that you can take my advice:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Another one of my internet heroes is: "The Angy Video Game Nerd" aka James Rolfe of Cinemassacre.com
He does film work, reviews of movies, and my favorite part: reviews of crappy video games.
Some of my favorites are:
The Indiana Jone Trilogy
The Wizard/Super Mario Brothers 3
Metal Gear
Ninja Gaiden
Sooo, the reason I brought these guys up. They make a living at things they are passionate about. At least I'm going to guess the guys at Red Letter Media do, James Rolf aka the AVGN, does stuff regularly for Spike TV.
Which is right inline with the Self-Actualization level of Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs.
Stuff to think about
