Let me get one minor complaint out of the way: American Water is not quite an eye-catching band name, rather it sounds like something you'd by for three dollars a bottle at the Smithsonian Museum. However this Boston-based trio has managed to take an uninspired name, and create itself a sound that rings of true originality, even while wearing its influences on their sleeves. Their debut album This Is Where It Ends showcases how a band should properly make their entrance.

The next installment of Death Race went straight-to-DVD. What can you do? With a film that could be expanded in so many ways in a sequel, they had to do the second one as a prequel, focusing on a character you watched in the first Death Race movie.

Mr. Cuse returns from Costa Rica, and realizes why he should've stayed put in paradise!

On tonight's special Podcast episode King Baby Duck recruits the very talented Canadian band Hunter Valentine.

What happens when you bring a big up-and-coming band and place them in a roundtable discussion about their music and life? MASS ANARCHY, THAT'S WHAT!!!

Be on the lookout for any horrible musicians who slur their lyrics! They might get undeserved critical praise.

Damn right home is where the war is. I got my hands on Homefront, and I have to say that it's got some awesome gameplay!

Those wanting to get their hands on Duke Nukem Forever on May 3rd will have to wait another month.

The gaming world of Spider-Man has had its ups and downs, and to be blunt it's always been more on the downslope side of things. In fact the last great Spider-Man video game I can remember was the (albeit) short one that came out for PlayStation, N64 and PC back in 2000, though this can be up for debate. Last year, however, the folks at Marvel and Activision decided to take the game to a far greater level, giving players not just the chance to play as America's favorite web-slinger but also three other versions of him. Unfortunately while spending so much time prepping the worlds of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions they forgot to fix some issues that keep the game from being as great as it should've been.

I went to work recently thinking that nothing could be any different. I was wrong, and while at work I was told to do the camerawork for the speaker that was coming in. I have sat through a lot of these in my time for my media service work, and none of them effected me as much as this guy did. His name is Omekongo Dibinga, and that's not even his full name (that's just what could fit on his license)!
