Don’t Forget 3D Glasses!

Filed under: TV — Scott King at 8:39 am on Friday, January 30, 2009


Don’t forget that next Monday’s “Chuck” will be in 3D and you need the same glasses for it that you need for the “Monsters vs Aliens” trailer that’s airing during the super bowl. The glasses aren’t the traditional blue/red so I doubt you’ll be able to use an old pair you have lying around the house. To get your “InTrue 3d” glasses look for displays at:

  • Kroger
  • Ralphs
  • Frys
  • Safeway/Vons
  • Supervalu
  • Food Lion
  • A&P
  • Pathmark
  • Coburns
  • Fairway
  • Fresh Brands
  • Hy Vee
  • Nash Finch
  • Roundy’s
  • Winn Dixie
  • K-Mart
  • Dollar General
  • Hess (select stores)
  • CVS (select stores)

Games to Raise your Xbox 360 Gamerscore

Filed under: Video Games — Scott King at 8:32 am on Friday, January 30, 2009


For those of you who don’t know, Xbox 360 games have things called “achievements.” You accomplish certain task in the games and gamerpoints are added to your account. The points can only be used for bragging rights, but if you have a really small amount people do give you a hard time. So here are the five best games to quickly raise your points:

  • Avatar The Last Air Bender – It will take you under 5 minutes to get 1,000 points by simply chaining attacks at the very opening of the game.
  • Madden ‘06 – In the course of about an hour you can get 1,000 points. Simply plug in a second controller use it to set yourself up to make the easy plays.
  • “Lost: Via Domus” – the game has a lackluster storyline and several challenges are really agrivating. But with online walkthroughs you can beat it and easily get 800+ points in about three or four hours.
  • “King Kong” – All you have to do is play through the game. You don’t even need to do anything crazy or hard. In fact the gameplay is barely a step above the most simplest of platformers.
  • “Top Spin 2″ – This game only has 11 achievments and all are beyond simple to get.

Seems like there isn’t much going on and instead of doing several half-hearted post just for the sake of posting content I figured I’d do a link round-up.

Comics Should Be Good Reviews “DAD!”

Filed under: Comics, My Projects — Scott King at 9:43 am on Thursday, January 29, 2009


Somehow we missed the fact that “Comics Should Be Good” did a nice review of “DAD!:

Nobody ever feels sorry for themselves, even though everyone is sad at one point or another, and that helps invest us further in the story. We get to know Kevin very well, and it’s fascinating that King, in delving so deep into his father’s life, pulls a nice trick where we feel sympathetic for Kevin without liking him all that much. That’s a bold move, because it is his father, after all. That we can feel all the emotions for Kevin that we often feel about our own parents is the book’s true triumph.

CBR’s “Top 25 VS.”

Filed under: Comics — Scott King at 10:38 am on Wednesday, January 28, 2009


My problem with CBR’s list of the Top 25 fights has nothing to do with the match-ups they picked. What’s seriously uncool about the list is that they put it on 25 web pages for the purposes of increasing thier hits for advertising purposes. If that wasn’t annoying enough, there is no way to skip ahead or go directly to a specific ran. Shame on you CBR!
