Before I became aware of Klout (@klout) I enjoyed my relatively nonexistent existence. I mean, I was somewhat social with Facebook and Twitter. I had a core group of friends with whom I regularly interacted with. I wasn’t a complete pariah, my Klout score was in the low 20s and I believe I was listed as a “Conversationalist”. I liked that, it was a friendly category to be placed in and I was happy to be there.

There was a lot to live up to. One could say that about every movie that came out in the Harry Potter series. Tackling such a beloved group of books would make any screenwriter and director cringe. From the beginning, it was important that the movie studio and all involved in the making of the movies get it right. There were more than just a few people whose obsession with the material would pick apart every mistake, every nuance of the film that didn’t match up exactly with the books.

The question I’m constantly grappling with is, which do a choose? Do I order or go out and buy a physical copy of the game?  Or do I buy a digital copy? Read more »

You know when your sitting somewhere, whether it be in public or even at home, and this fat kid sits next to you and starts talking to you about food or video games or…whatever? It doesn’t matter about what. He keeps talking and you’re not paying attention, but you just wish that he would go away and leave you alone, but he doesn’t. Then you think about all the different scenarios that you could pose in order to extricate yourself from the situation. You think maybe you can pretend you have something really important that you need to do, or possibly fake an illness, or even begin bludgeoning the kid to death with whatever is handy. Then you realize there is nothing you can do because you’re actually in Hell and this is your punishment for all eternity, listening to this fat kid go on about…pokemon or whatever. To me, web series are that fat kid. Read more »
