The Penny arcade in San Francisco is totally great. It might seem like a tourist trap but it isn't – or it is but in a good way. There was lots of great stuff there, but the surprise was these execution games. You pay a penny (now a quarter) and the doors slowly open to reveal a deathly tableau of either a guillotine or a gallows. After a few nervous seconds the act is committed and the door closes. It's fucking awesome. Way better than any "head shot" in Splinter Cell. It's a perfect antidote to the knee jerk reaction to the violence in video games. Shit dudes, violence is a part of our culture like it or not (and if you need it for emphasis) beatch!
I started Prereview a couple of years ago, and I’m starting to ask myself the question, “How many uninformed reviews can one man write?” Prereview had it’s internet sensation moment in the sun about a year ago but my hits are way down now. By all indication I really should put it to bed, it was clever and fun but now it’s over. Or at least that’s what I think and then I’ll see a poster for "Beauty Shop” a (spinoff of Barbershop II staring Queen Latifa), or the Longest Yard Remake staring (inexplicably) Burt Reynolds, and the site will seem relevant again. So, I’ve decided to keep going until the movies get better, which I think should be about Christmas.
