Video Game Review – Mantis Burn Racing

by

Villordsutch reviews Mantis Burn Racing… I’m a fan of racing games, though I tend to shy away from the ultra-realistic games with a hundred or so real-life models, engines fine-tuned to meet race-worthy standards and handling so sensitive a fool like me – who doesn’t understand the meaning of “brakes” – is guaranteed to slam into […]

Ok, enough boy band humor, Arrow this week is titled “Human Target” which I sort of just assumed was about Mayor Queen being shot and killed, quite brutally, […]

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency Season 1 Episode 1 Review – “Horizons”

by

Villordsutch reviews Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency Season 1 Episode 1 – “Horizons”… There’s always a worry that when something is as quintessentially British, as say a Douglas Adams “Dirk Gently” novel, falls into the palms of a country called “America” and then they announce that they’re going to make a TV series out of it, […]
