  1. As much as I enjoy gaming, I have to admit it's not a cheap hobby to keep up with. With games getting more expensive, it's becoming increasingly harder to get all the games that pique my interest. I guess that's why I've started turning more towards indie gaming. Now that all three major consoles have download services, smaller development teams have another avenue to release their games. It's led to a surge in popularity for games that previously might have never seen the light of day. And with so many indie games being released at budget prices (or even as freeware), it's well worth looking into both current and older releases.

  2. In another massive episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick has a little help from his friends and family. Momma and Papa Dread join him for some light conversation before Darryll sits down with Des to review Let the Right One In. And, she is woman, hear her adore! Megan stops by to have a slightly one-sided conversation about Twilight. But what about Mean-Spirited March, you ask? Well, how about the most depraved, disgusting and brutal film of all time? That's right, Vaughn from Motion Picture Massacre stops by to discuss Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom. Listener discretion is advised. Seriously. Tunes include "Gimme Shelter" by The Hellacopters, "Knock Knock" by The Hives, "Santa Carla Twilight" by Tiger Army, "Cake and Sodomy" by Marilyn Manson, and "Gospel Sodomy Boy on Blow" by Zimmer's Hole.

  3. Imagine the following scenario: a man is kidnapped and wakes up buried alive in a glass casket while his friends have been given the hardware to watch him go mad and suffocate. Or, since he is outfitted with a loaded handgun, he can choose to kill himself if he wishes. Cue Jigsaw's prerecorded directions, right? Wrong. Actually, this was the set-up for the season five finale to CBS's high-rated CSI.

  4. In this review-packed episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick looks at two Jess Franco flicks: Devil Hunter and Bloody Moon. He then reviews two Radical Comics, City of Dust #5 and Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead #2, before looking at Greg F. Gifune's latest novel Children of Chaos. And though he wishes it was, a March episode wouldn't be complete without a mean-spirited film like Gone the Way of the Flesh. Find out who won the Tokyo Gore Police Horror Mall Giveaway and listen to your loveable host fawn over praise. Tunes include: "Bon Appetit" by The Untamed, "The Hunter" by Danzig, "The Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen, "She Wants Me (Dead)" by The Satans, "Children of the Damned" by Iron Maiden and "Gone the Way of the Flesh" by The Jason Martinko Review.

  5. With the coming of Moonraker, no academic will run the risk of appearing on this platform again as For Your Ears Only very much lives up to its explicit rating. Recording whilst slightly tired and emotional, Ian and Adham let rip with the likelihood of offending, amongst others, speedboat manufacturers, Lois Chiles, children, half the staff of Earth-2.net and womankind as Adham Fisher is involved, naturally. You have been warned. [ 2:46:31 || 76.2 MB ]

  6. Tweaking the origins of superheroes is nothing new, but in 1985 DC rebooted their entire line of comics - allowing a handful of creative masterminds the opportunity to reshape classic characters. The three biggest, of course, were comprised of DC's Trinity: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. In this edition of Waiting for the Trade, Dan and Mike take a look at those stories (Batman: Year One, The Man of Steel and Wonder Woman: Gods and Mortals) to see how well they did their job, and if they withstood the test of time.

  7. Who watches the Watchmen? Desmond and Darryll do in this week's episode of Dread Media! But not before Desmond reluctantly celebrates Mean-Spirited March with Gutterballs, and then cleanses his palate with the awesome Norwegian slasher Cold Prey. Tunes include: "Take the Skinheads Bowling" by Manic Street Preachers, "Balls Out" by The Bloodhound Gang, "All My Friends Are Dead" by Turbonegro, "Desolation Row" by My Chemical Romance and "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel.

  8. It really isn't a stretch to say that anime helped me get through the most miserable three years of my life: middle school. I was what you would classify as the verbal and physical punching bag for various lower-level life forms. If I didn't have the recently departed Toonami block on Cartoon Network to come home to every afternoon, I don't know where I'd be today. I was a wreck during those days, and it gave me something to look forward to after the hideous days of being picked on endlessly.

  9. "Geek" has a complex definition for me as Earth-2.net's self-styled diversity hire. The word itself, not least its connotations, originate from North America to the extent that it is an obvious sub-genre within that society. And like most cultural output from the USA, the idea of "geekdom" has slowly made its way across the Atlantic to be applied as a negative term in today's British school playgrounds. But in that my homeland has given geek culture some of its brightest moments — Doctor Who, Thunderbirds, Rentaghost — I cannot pretend to be anything otherwise, and should be proud about everything my country has contributed. Except Rentaghost.
