ABOUT Oliver VanDervoort
Oliver has been a writer for over four years. In that time he has covered all the latest news and gossip in a huge variety of subjects. From comic books to video games to Apple and Android he loves talking, reading and writing about all things “Geek.” Living in Nebraska, he got his iPad and indoor plumbing at roughly the same time
It is entirely possible that the creators of True Blood have finally remembered what made the show so good the first three seasons. Plenty of Lafayette, plenty of Jason doing what Jason does best and actual filling in of back-story. This episode was easily the best episode of the entire season and best of all,…
I don’t think it’s a particularly good sign that the third episode of the series was easily the worst episode of the series. At this point, the writers for the show should be getting a pretty good feel for the characters and starting to write them with a little more depth. Instead this episode seemed…
Things are heating up as the season rolls. Just like last week, when I thought the show was finally hitting its stride, this week’s episode was even better than the last. Unfortunately, the show is still a far cry from what it used to be, but at least this episode was interesting and didn’t have…
I noticed that the last couple of reviews I have done for Geek Insider have come across as rather negative. Realizing this, I went into last night’s episode of Under the Dome trying my best to be positive and really enjoy the episode. That approach worked for about half of “The Fire,” until I ran…
After two pretty mediocre episodes to start the year, I have to admit that this season is the best of season so far. Having said that, there is still plenty I wished was just a little bit better and plenty I wish hadn’t been in the episode at all. True Blood Moves in a Different…
It’s always interesting watching a television show or a movie that is based on the book. I read Under the Dome a few years ago and when I first read the back cover, looking for the synopsis the first thing that popped into my mind was “Didn’t the Simpsons already do this?” Of course, Stephen…
After last week’s episode, I went into last night wondering just how much crazy action we were going to see. The season opened up with several loud bangs and it seemed as if the the show’s creators understood they needed a bit of a slowdown. Had this been the kind of slowdown that filled out…
There are few games out there that have seen as many odd news stories and controversies as the game formerly known as The War Z. While most of the bad press surrounding the game has to do with what is actually in the game and how the developers handled that press, there has also been…
There are all kinds of different zombie games out on the market these days. For whatever reason the zombie genre has never been bigger. What is relatively disappointing is that none of the zombie games bring as much to the table as they could. That was until State of Decay was released onto the XBLA….
Before I get into the meat of this review, I should warn you that while I am a big time comic book and comic book movie fanboy, I’ve never been much of a Superman fanboy. The character always seemed a little too altruistic to me, to the point of being unbelievable. Having said that, I…
It used to be that the return of True Blood was an exciting time of year. I wanted to get excited for last night’s season premiere, “Who are you, really?” I sat down in front of the television with a beer and a bucket of popcorn and got ready to welcome the return of people…
I’ve always felt that the best comic book series are the ones that I could imagine watching unfold during a really good television series. The odd thing about The Walking Dead is that it actually has been made into a television series. That series is pretty good, but at this point isn’t much like the…
Now that E3 is here we are getting even more information about the next generation consoles, the PS4 and the Xbox One. With that plethora of information comes good will. New consoles are coming! New consoles are coming! The Xbox One, especially, looks to be turning gaming on its head with some of its features….
