I’ve never much cared for Wil’s portrayal of Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. It just never clicked. But, I can’t deny that we share very similar, if not the exact same, views on gaming and how to appropriately handle them when it comes to children. Wil’s latest blog post [...]

With the latest poster child for anti-gaming coming out tomorrow, Grand Theft Auto IV, and the recent attempts to ban or further limit gaming to children in general you would think that people would ease back on the advertisement of the violence and sex shown in the game, even if it is a game intended [...]

The Incredible Hulk
The trailer is online and has received okay reviews. You can also find an interview with the director, Louis Letterier, in which he explains parts of the clip and how it relates to the movie. Personally, I’m really [...]

Found a well written and heartwarming article by Adam Rogers of The New York Times today.
