Robin Williams – Weapons of Self Destruction

By David Chevalier

Robin Williams comedy tour appropriately titled “Weapons of Self Destruction” is a hilarious show available on HBO this season. The show had originally gone on tour for 4 or so months in early 2009, but returned in September to close out the year. In this particular clip, Mr. Williams depicts the insanity Doc Ellis must have experienced pitching a no hitter on LSD while playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1970.

Del Mar Interview: Their new album After the Quake, and touring plans with Sublime!

I recently did an artist-on-artist interview, over the phone, with a band named Del Mar. They’re a mix of surf and punk, promoting their recent album release After The Quake. Rather than review the album, I decided to get up close and personal seeing as our bands have become friends over the past year.

Enjoy! The audio is attached and the transcript is below!

Assassin’s Creed 2: First Impressions

Assassin’s Creed 2 is the new release from Ubisoft, following the story of Desmond as he uncovers his family’s secret legacy. Met with equal parts praise and criticism, Assassin’s Creed was equal parts brilliance and mediocre tripe (which I guess is an accomplishment in and of itself). But the real question is this: is Assassin’s Creed 2 any better? (Warning: thar [may] be spoilers!)

MMO Matchup: Wars Vs. Trek

The ultimate match up of nerdy science fiction has arrived. Could an X-Wing Squadron take out the Defiant? Would Kirk and the Enterprise have an answer to the Deathstar? While these questions might forever remain unanswered, one question will definitely have a response. Which MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) will prevail? [...]

V’s, Baby. V’s.

There are two reasons why, after watching its November 3rd premier, that I’m excited for ABC’s V reboot. The first being that, despite its few flaws, it was clear– by the first commercial break– that the show was succeeding in the numerous ways its counter part, Flash Forward, had failed.

The second reason is Morena Baccarin, doe-eyed leader of the alien Visitors. The new Science Fiction Goddess for which expletive-free descriptions are inadequate. So bare with me as I try to compromise my opinions of her with the censorship that I intellectually realize is absolutely necessary. Just for a paragraph or so. [...]

The History and Review of the Fallout Series Part 2

In Part 1, I talked about the origins of the Fallout series beginning with the inventive Wasteland by Electronic Arts.  I explored the heart of the series in Interplay’s Fallout 1 and 2, and talked a little about Fallout Tactics with it’s inclusion of real-time combat. I finished up without comment on the immature joke riddled console game Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Now I continue the journey of the franchise in Media Consumes Me’s History and Review of the Fallout Series Part 2. [...]

Whoops… They’re Doing It Again.

Something has gone horribly wrong.

Depending on what theory you subscribe too, either there is a critical glitch in the Matrix, or the Gods have begun their next step in an all encompassing, Trojan War style conspiracy against us.  Either way, we’re all in a very real and grave danger.

Allow me to begin this with a very simple question: out of the resulting trilogy that the Mission Impossible reboot resulted in… which was the worst? [...]
