Down below, on the left is the new City of Des Moines logo. Right next to that is the old logo. The old logo definitely looks dated, and was desperately overdue for a makeover, having been designed by cavemen in the late paleolithic era (oftentimes referred to colloquially as “the 70’s”). The new logo looks […]
PlayIt, ReviewIt is LIVE!
I guess Siraris is ready to let the proverbial cat out of the proverbial bag with the official launch of his brainchild, PlayItReviewIt.

Mini-reviews forthcoming: Old Man’s Ghost Brigade
I ripped through John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War and The Ghost Brigades in a matter of just a couple of weeks – a bit of a triumph for myself, I should admit. I’m used to milking every page of a book for weeks, even months. It took me a year just to get through the […]

I really shouldn’t be tossing in my 2-cents judging reviews for games that I haven’t yet touched. But, oh, wait! This is […]
Red Steel – a mini-review
In a Wii-related rant I posted last month, I trashed the Ubisoft launch title Red Steel. I referred to the game as “half-assed”. In all honesty, at that point, I hadn’t even touched the game. I was in no position to call it anything, really. So, when I signed up for a GamezNFlix membership, Red […]
