You might not believe that I spent 6 months of my life playing through a 40 hour game of The Glory of Heracles on the Nintendo DS. And yet I did. Just today I put to bed a game that took 6 months to complete, and I think the reason it took so long was … Continue reading
There needs to be more hockey movies. Period. So if there is a movie with any bit of hockey in it, I’ll give it watch. That’s why the family rented The Tooth Fairy. My son could watch the goofy tooth fairy stuff, my wife could watch Dwayne Johnson, and I could try to get some … Continue reading

But ultimately, my wife and I felt that our little monster might like to see some playful monsters … Continue reading
