Netflix Shuffle

Does anyone else wish Netflix offered the option to shuffle your queue (without breaking up series or DVD sets)? I always get bogged down trying to prioritize my movies, and I think it’d be fun to get some random movie in the mail every few days.
I know there are some software programs out there [...]

Action!

My life, as of late, has consisted primarily of working, playing videogames, and…well, reading on occasion, though I just had to give up the book I was reading because the writing wasn’t very good. It was the second time I’d tried this writer. The first time it was one of his early novels, so I [...]

Top Ten Cartoons of All Time…EVER.

Since my Saturday morning cartoons post proved so popular, I decided to go ahead and compile a list of my top ten cartoons of all time.

Synchronized bartending?

How would you play Root Beer Tapper co-op? It’s almost worth buying it on Xbox Live Arcade just to find out.
Almost.
Speaking of XBLA, I seem to be the only member of my XBL friends group who actually makes use of it. Personally, I’m having a blast playing Doom and Geometry Wars Evolved, and am looking [...]

Two years and counting

Since the Saturday morning cartoon post proved so popular, I’ll soon put up a Top Ten Cartoons of All Time post. I’m just trying to decide whether to do it in one big post or as ten separate posts.
Today marks the two-year anniversary of the current incarnation of Biggerboat. Two years ago I wrote my [...]

A cool $20

Thanks to the Amazon association on my Snow Miser site, I actually made twenty bucks over the holiday season.
I also have about twenty-five dollars stored up on Google Adsense, but I only get that money after it hits $100. Just three more years!
