It seems a bit absurd to make this qualification, given that What We Do in the Shadows is a show about vampires – subject matter that usually falls readily into the macabre territory – but damn, the latest episode is a dark twenty minutes of television. A thoroughly enjoyable twenty minutes to my sensibilities, but…
You probably know at least one person whom you would call a geek or a nerd. These terms are often labeled to anybody who wears thick eyeglasses and shows an extreme interest in a subject. But while geeks and nerds share many common traits, it’s interesting to learn how to distinguish one from the other….
And here I was thinking the brutality of last week’s episode would lead to some type of win for the audience as we enter the second half of the final season. I guess we have to remember that this is Game of Thrones after all. After a fun little feast, things go wrong and then…
The first season of Killing Eve introduced us to the world of the female serial killer, which, for whatever reason, is kind of an unusual thing. We also met a woman who, through her own research, had become one of the leading authorities on the subject, and she was able to identify, track down, develop…
Any successful relationship involves a certain amount of compromise. Chances are that, if you have a significant other in your life, the two of you don’t agree on everything. In fact, there are probably some things on which you have strikingly different viewpoints. And that’s usually a big part of what makes the relationship work—I…
In all likelihood the highest grossing movie of May will be Avengers: Endgame, which of course was released in April. But don’t let that distract you from the gems that are among the May movie list. It’s a big list. There’s definitely a “diamond in the rough” joke to be made here with Aladdin coming…
Amidst the cosplayers, comic book fans, and families present at this year’s Awesome Con, held at the Washington D.C. convention center, was a noticeably larger plethora of comic book vendors, exhibits, and celebrity guests. D.C.’s Awesome Con has grown considerably since the very first Con in 2013. This year the crowds couldn’t have been larger…
I take a toke. I stare into the thick dark of my backyard. I expel the smoke against the breeze, helping my eyes to get used to the darkness of the moonless night. The outlines of trees, the compositional sketch of my backyard, at first fuzzy, slowly begin to match the mental picture forged in…
We’ve all played free mobile games. I mean heck, they’re free, right? What’s not to love? Well, a lot of things actually. Ads every sixty seconds, interrupting gameplay. Glitches and malfunctions. Bad graphics. And pay-for-play structures that make the whole experience seem cheap and unfair. Sound familiar? Coughing up a few bucks is worth it…
Nobody likes to run. Oh, some people may tell you they do, but what they really mean is that they like the way running makes them feel once it’s over, or that they like the sense of accomplishment that comes with setting a new personal record or completing a distance they never though they’d come…
If you can divorce yourself emotionally, there is a sort of pleasure in watching the growing pains of a freshman show. Sometimes it’s the unmitigated delight that we as humans – perverse critters that we are – feel watching a chain reaction train-wreck. But often it is the charm of watching a doe find it’s…
You consider yourself a reasonably good person. You’ve always played by the rules. You don’t cut corners or take shortcuts. And even when things don’t go your way, you take comfort in the fact that, sooner or later, things will even out and you’ll ultimately prevail because justice is on your side, your motives are…

Oftentimes, the owners of personal computers and laptops go crazy when they lose their data. Heaps of information gets lost due to human error, malicious attacks, and some system errors. In most cases, people accidentally delete some important files and aren’t able to get them back. Accordingly, software developers created a special tool. It’s data…
It’s the battle we’ve all been waiting for. The White Walkers have arrived at Winterfell and our Game of Thrones stress is at an all-time high. If you’re anything like me, you ended the 80+ minute episode with a pit in your stomach and a lump in your throat. The Battle of Winterfell hit me…
