The LOST Rewatch

Five down, one to go.  The countdown has begun to the final season of the best show ever to grace television airwaves.
Okay, while that may be a bit of hyperbole, I would attempt to argue the validity of that statement if necessary. LOST is an amazing program, and it has taken its audience on an [...]

Neil Gaiman in the News

It has been quite a week for author Neil Gaiman!

It all started Monday morning, when he was informed that his recent work The Graveyard Book had won the Newbery Medal for 2009…

The Problem With Christian Fiction

“The problem with Christian fiction?  What?  How hypocritical of him…”
It’s true.  I’ve been known to enjoy Christian fiction, and I still count people like Frank Peretti and Sigmund Brouwer to be among some of my favorite authors.  However, I think both of those authors are, for the most part, fairly immune from the problem discussed [...]

I Have Failed

I must beg a boon of your forgiveness, for you see…I have failed.
I have failed as a geek, and I have failed as your faithful guardian of geekery.  Last night, I had the opportunity to attend a reading of a portion of Neil Gaiman’s new book, The Graveyard Book, by Neil himself.
…And I did not [...]

The Dark Knight, Revisited

I got the chance to see The Dark Knight again yesterday (my father- and brother-in-law hadn’t yet seen it, so we went).  Having already enjoyed the film once, I had the chance on this viewing to appreciate and ponder some of its finer details, the foreshadowing, the glimpses at the thematic elements, and the symbolism [...]

More Halo 3?

Probably not another full Halo game…although I guess that could be the case.  Maybe a Halo 3 expansion or something…hmm…
I’m getting ahead of myself.
Background: the other day, the folks at Bungie snagged the Edge Award for Interactive Innovation, beating out some pretty major contendors (Portal, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit, Rock Band, and Grand Theft [...]

Peculiar

Peculiar
Hello, my name is Aaron, and I’m a geek.
The word “geek” has been defined as “a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc.” As hard as it may be to admit it, that defines many [...]
