The 5 (Worst Zelda Temples/Dungeons)

Let's be real, lists are awesome. They get to the point, and if all you want to know is number one you can just skip right to it. All of the best magazines and television programs do it. Why shouldn't I? This is the first 5 that I'm doing, and since I'm on a retro gaming kick, I've picked to do the top 5 worst Zelda temples or dungeons or what-have-you. Be warned, if for some reason you've never played a Zelda game, I could very much be spoiling it for you. Also, if for some reason you've never played a Zelda game, we need to talk.

The Groove

It's amazing how much I end up posting about music considering that my original intent for "music" posts were revolving around UTA. But, seeing as I'm about 500 miles away from the rest of the band members, I'm stuck talking about other people's music. Fair enough.

So I'm here, sitting in my apartment, trying to figure out just what to post about today. The Snowpocalypse fail? No, we'll save that for later. Egypt getting their internet back? Hmmm, not yet. Image reduction processes in astrophysics? Yeah I know, but that's what I spent most of today working on. Then, it hit me thanks to a friend's tumblr post: the groove (or in some cases it's known as the zone). What is the groove? It's something you're in, and when you're in it you know it, and when you're not you struggle to find it. Where is it? It's all relative I'm afraid, but it's based on your mindset.

The Progress (1)

With the impending snowpocalypse here in the northeast, I figured I should give you something to read in case you get snowed in. Or...you know...just something to read because that's what I do.

The Absentee

As we all know, the Nintendo's [3DS] and Sony's [NGP] are heading into the battle royale of portable gaming, with Apple's iPhone/iPod ready to jump in and be an annoyance to both of them. So where's Microsoft in all of this?

The Monday (01.31.11)

Another week, another Tom Sawyer Monday. This one is brought to you by Shakespeare. That's right, your old friend Bill traveled through time to help Rush write the lyrics to "Limelight" (you can find them below the music). Click the video to listen and sing along. Get your week on Brit Lit style.

The Radio

When was the last time you actually listened to the radio outside of your car? I'm going to guess it wasn't within the last few months, quite possibly years. Why is that? Because radio is dying. I would say the cliché, "video killed the radio star", but that's not really true. Internet killed the radio, and standing over the frayed wires of those transistors are Pandora and iTunes. Much like the scene in Office Space where Peter, Michael, and Samir beat the hell out of a printer, the internet, Pandora, and iTunes have done the same to the radio. How? Simple: one part listen to what you want, one part no commercials (for the most part).

The Week (of 1.30.11)

Week 5 of 2011 follows up the release of Dead Space 2 with...well nothing impressive. Stick with your TV sets this week folks since not much else that is new will be gracing the shelves. If you're looking for a James Cameron film to tide you over until Avatar 2 news starts filtering in again, check out Sanctum 3D. Otherwise, sit tight, a new month is on the horizon and hopefully with it will come more awesomeness that we're expecting out of 2011.
