First ever Halloween Haunt at Great America 2008

Heyas! Chris and I just got back from the super crazy awesome Halloween Haunt at Great America in Santa Clara, so if you’ve $40 (+$10 per car parking) to spare, go now, go now!! Yay!! It’s so completely worth it… definitely aces above the disappointing haunted houses around the Bay lately. [...]

Our Big-Screen Debut

Remember our “Gay for a Day” article from way back? Well the trailer for Gus van Sant’s Milk is finally out, and our hours of sunburned extra-ing have paid off. There’s not one, but a whole bunch of shots from our shoot in the trailer. In fact, I’d say a good third of it is [...]

Found Links - Sept 26, 2008

I haven’t had much time for films or reviews these past few weeks, due to my ever increasing workload. Most of my free time’s been spent either watching TV on DVD, or simply researching stuff on the web. And, since I haven’t done a link blowout in a while, I figured I might as well [...]

Summer Catch-Up 3: The Death of Summer (Tropic Thunder — Pineapple Express — Journey to the Center of the Earth — Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior — Walk All Over Me — My Science Project) +book and tv show reviews

I don’t get it either. I really wanted to get it, but it seemed as though getting it might be equivalent to pretending to be elite for liking drinking games after college.

Crocodile pancakes - Rogue tribute — homecooking

Here’s an ode to Chris’ recent Rogue movie review.
Since we were under false pretenses that it might actually be a good ‘n scary giant crocodile flick and it turned out to be kind of a flop instead, I thought I’d surprise Chris with some yummy nummies shaped like the famed swamp creature [...]

Another Leisure Suit Larry game?

No, this isn’t an April Fools joke. Looks like Vivendi/Universal is putting out another Leisure Suit Larry game, only it’s a continuation of the previous abortion of an adventure game, Magna Cum Laude. Now, I’m hoping they fix at least some of the monumental problems with that game, but the game description on sierra.com isn’t [...]

Gay for a Day — We were Harvey Milk extras!

Woowoo! Today Chris and I spent the day getting kinda sunburnt and cheering ourselves hoarse in front of Sean Penn* for the new Gus Van Sant movie Milk, a biopic on Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official. I have no idea if we’re even visible, but we’re about three rows behind [...]

Adobe.com refreshed!

Well, I lasted a year at Yahoo! (I still hope Jerry can turn it all around somehow) but now I’m pretty darn happy at Adobe. The building is sooo slick; there are automated everythings.. even the bathrooms are completely motion-sensored out down to the liquid soap and paper towel dispensers, not to mention the [...]

VIDEO FINDS . Video Game Endings

Yup. A random selection of video game endings from YouTube. I think these are pretty self-explanatory so I’ll just leave it at that :)
Conquest of Camelot
I remember playing this one through again and again. Such an awesome game.

Silent Hill 2 Dog Ending
So odd, yet so cool.

Fatal Frame 2 Nightmare Ending
Kris is the only one I [...]

Site Update and Upcoming Reviews

So things have been pretty busy the past couple weeks, and the reviews have been a little slow in coming. This past weekend resulted in a much needed relaxation. We have a bunch of stuff in the cooker though, including reviews for The Shoe Fairy, O-oku, Udon, Noriko’s Dinner Table, and more. I still hope [...]

A few issues to be upset about

I don’t usually bring in political articles in an effort to keep the comment boards civil, but some of these issues in the past week or so have been pretty frustrating.
The Evil P2P Menace!
This CNET news article reports that Congress is now claiming P2P networks are a threat to national security. Why? Because a [...]

Update from Chris

So for the past 6 days I’ve been in Austin, TX and Lake Charles, LA visiting family. I forgot to bring along some titles from the review queue, and the ones I had flagged will have to be postponed, due to more pressing titles. This means no King Boxer or Ghost in the Shell: [...]

Happy 6th of July!

Happy belated Independence Day! How’d you spend it? If you were competitive chowhound Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi, you spent it suffering through a Nathan’s hot dog gorge fest with a recent wisdom tooth extraction and a paralyzing jaw injury. Kobayashi also spent the last few moments of the neck-and-neck race violently vomiting into [...]

Dreamlogic Link Update — New Friendly Sites!

So we’ve recently updated our Links page with a few friendly sites. In the past we’ve just updated the page silently, but figuring some of you may not know about those little awesome links at the bottom of our page, we decided to alert you to them here. Also, be sure to check out our [...]

You’re right! I do look like that!

So I was at Fry’s this lunch break attempting to pick up a videogame advertised on sale. The game wasn’t there — in fact the shipment never came in — so I went about getting a rain check. The sales person I enlisted to help me took a bit of a time getting the rain [...]

Yahoo! News . New Yahoo!

Some of you might not see this yet; only a minute percentage of random users will be able to see the unveiled brand spanking new Yahoo! search header for now. SO GO SEARCH ON YAHOO! NOW.
Go on, I’ll wait.
Did you see it? Well, if you didn’t, there’s a screen [...]

Our First Time… Firing a 9mm

Back in June, Chris took me to Target Masters in Milpitas, a cute little shooting range where we fired a 9mm semi-automatic for the first time. I told the clerk it was my first time shooting and he immediately said, “do you want a Glock?” We decided on a Ruger, which he [...]

Office Hazards in May: Trees and Guns

Last night some freaky strong wind broke a heavy-duty tree branch that bashed two of our employees’ vehicles and blocked in five more building patrons. This morning “shots” rang out at the White House resulting in an aggressive lock-down, baby. Now the popo and Mr. Bill Pickle (the Senate Sergeant at Arms and [...]
