The Reset Button: GTA: San Andreas - 10 Year Anniversary on Xbox 360.

GTA: San Andreas - 10 Year Anniversary on Xbox 360. Everyone that knows me as a gamer knows I'm a HUGE fan of the Grand Theft Auto series. Since playing the top-down PlayStation titles, I've been hooked. The open-world, do what you please gameplay pulled me in from the first hour I played. I love freedom in games. Not having to follow a specific path everyone else will follow and being able to create your own way just appealed to me like no...

Trailer Breakdown: Avengers Age of Ultron

Trailer Breakdown: Avengers Age of Ultron None of your secrets are really secret.

Tough Sh*T: A Short Review

Tough Sh*T: A Short Review A couple of months ago I picked up Tough Sh*t: Life Advice from a Fat Lazy Slob Who Did Good. It took me two days to read it cover to cover. A month later, I read it again. The only other book that I’ve read cover to cover twice was the Steve Jobs biography, and that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. First and foremost, this book is written exactly like his movies. It reads as a poetic composition of some...

The Weekly Pull : Birthright

The Weekly Pull : Birthright They say you should never judge a book by it’s cover, and although I understand the pros and cons behind the theory, I tend to find myself guilty more often than not.

However, in some instances, you get incredibly lucky and find a book like Birthright. As a kid (and an...
