I'm a pretty big Lost fan - over the last few years I've gotten sucked into the whole ridiculous mythos.  The more absurd it becomes the more I love it.  When I heard that they were releasing a videogame based on the show, I knew I was going to have to play it, even if it turned out to be a giant turd.  Luckily it turned out to be pretty decent (but only if you're a Lost fan), but I'm glad that I rented it from Gamefly instead of buying it.

My four year old daughter really, really, REALLY wants an aquarium full of beautiful colorful fish that she "can love and care for". Having an aquarium when I was I kid, I know pretty well all the upkeep and filthy water changes involved that I'll ultimately have to do myself, because hey, my kid is four years old. But I thought maybe I can see how she does with the aquarium gateway drug - Sea Monkeys.

Well, as mentioned in my previous blog, I made it to the Queensryche show at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach Sunday night.  I had never seen them live, so it was a treat.  Even though they were playing in a relatively small venue, they put on a great show.  Their lead singer, Geoff Tate, had one of the most charismatic stage presences that I've ever seen.  Good to see that his 4 octave voice is still in fine form after all these years.  They played a "Greatest Hits" show, so a lot of the material was from their Empire album ("Empire", "Jet City Woman", "Anybody Listening?", and "An

A buddy of mine asked me to go see Queensryche live at the House of Blues this weekend in Myrtle Beach, SC.  I've seen a lot of bands live in my time, everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Slayer, but I've never had the chance to see these guys.  I was initially even more stoked about it when I asked my friend who was opening for them - I thought he said "Dio", but my excitement cooled down a few notches when I realized he said "Dokken".  Oh well - they can't all be winners.  I'm going to dig around on the internets and see if I can find a current setlist.  Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll focus

I've got both a PS3 and PSP, but up until recently I was too lazy to utilize one of their most compelling cooperative features - Remote Play.  So I pulled my PSP out of the drawer it's been sitting idle in for nearly a year to try to figure out this Remote Play thing.  For those unfamiliar with this feature, basically the way it works is if you're out in the wild (well, out in the wild near a Wi-Fi hotspot) with your PSP, you can access features and content on your PS3 that's sitting at home.  It's similar in theory to Remote Desktop for PCs.  But where this becomes a great deal of fun is that
