The Ten Most Notorious Fast Food Items
August 25, 201210. Original Sliders White Castle We start off the list small… really small. The White Castle sliders are known for their miniscule size.

The Ten Best Song of Ice and Fire Characters
August 8, 2012A caution on this list. It will be including spoilers for both the TV and book series from books 1-5. So if you have yet to read the books or see the show, read at your own risk. There will be nothing beyond Dance, since, well, I don’t know anything. Anything I mention from beyond […]
The Ten Best Game Expansions
July 27, 201210. Innovation: Echoes of the Past A rather new entry to start the list off, since the game innovation was only released a year or so ago.

The Ten Best Saturday Night Live Skits
May 22, 2012Its been a while, I know, but I finally have another list complied. This has been a tough one to put together, since the show spans some 30 odd years. As a result, a lot of favourites have been left off the list. This is definitely one of those lists which could easily be expanded. […]
My Top Ten Movies of the 60s
April 15, 201210. The Birds (1963) The Birds is a movie I honestly didn’t think I would end up liking, thinking its just a silly horror flick. But it has all of the great Hitchcockisms which make his works so great; fantastic dialogue with lots of wit, and a visual panache for storytelling. Not to mention […]

My Top Ten Films of 2011
February 6, 201210. Contagion As a former microbiologist, I appreciated this movie a lot. It provided a very realistic idea of how something like this might go down.

The Ten Best Movie Taglines
December 3, 201110. “Crime is a Disease. Meet the cure.” Cobra This is the representative entry for all of those cheesy yet great macho action movie taglines.

My Ten Favourite Small World Races
September 10, 201110. Cultists Rounding out my list at #10 is the cultists. I didn’t think I would like the cultists. Perhaps because of the darker theme they invoke, I’m not sure. But they are really quite cool and quite powerful. The Cultists can actually summon Cthulhu( though they don’t actually call him Cthulhu in the game), […]
