I don't know how to do this anymore

If you did not catch the four hour premiere of 24 season six on TV this past weekend, consider giving the DVD a rent. It gets off to a bit of a slow start, but by the end of that fourth hour... yow! They've set up a great premise for this season. Do not let anyone spoil it for you until you've seen it!

That said, do not watch 24 if you have a problem watching:
- Torture
- Shootouts
- Torture
- Explosions
- Torture
- People who say they are working for one guy but are secretly working for another guy
- Torture
- Hacksaws
- Cougars

See you on Friday!

Trust me

The second Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game arrives in North America this week. Is Phoenix Wright a particularly accurate legal simulator? No. (Or "objection," if you prefer.) But is Phoenix Wright one of the smartest, most compelling, most well-written point-and-click adventure games since the hayday of LucasArts? Absolutely!

By the time you read this rant, 24's sixth season will have already premiered. But at the time I am actually writing this, it's still a few hours away. As always, I am simultaneously excited and terrified at the prospect of a new season. When the show is good, it's amazing. But when it's bad... I don't want to talk about it. The show's even-numbered years have been the worst offenders. Break the curse, season six. Break it like a man with a hacksaw.

Flying high again

The new Sloan album -- aka my favourite CD of 2006 -- has finally been released in the United States! If you are an American and you love rock music, trust me... it is time to bring Sloan into your life.

For those of you who missed Wednesday's newspost, I'm looking for photos of folks wearing their Sam and Fuzzy t-shirts that I can use in the shop as sample images. I'm in particularly dire need of pics of the newer designs. Drop me a line if you can help!
