Wait, I'm not just repeating articles, am I?
Everybody is going green these days. It’s rather trendy to say the least, so it’s no surprise that toys are following the trend and selling big when it comes to eco-friendly categories. If you’d very much like to give your kids something fun to play with that they’re guaranteed to enjoy plus is quite possibly better for the environment in the long run, then good news because here’s...
This right here is one of the most popular education-based toy around. And it's a video game system.
If I were pressed to defend the educational value of video games, I probably couldn’t do much other than say they can teach reading, math, problem solving, community interaction, cause and effect, and hand-eye coordination skills, so really I’d have an uphill battle talking about their benefits (wink). However, there are a handful of very popular...

I complained last time. Time for something a bit more awesome.
More than a month ago I spent some time really reefing on DBZ by coming up with 10 big plotholes. To follow this up I decided to dig up 10 more plotholes worth mentioning. And all this despite my noted love of the series. “Why all the hate?” I thought. The series made me so happy, but what was it that made me so happy? I decided I needed to make the easiest top 10 list yet: The Top...

I bet you haven't heard of this one, have you?
My hope is that by now you have enough confidence in me and my choices to trust just about anything I say. I’m going to need you to continue doing just that because there is a pretty cool book in today’s Comic Book Club that needs to be read. I’ll just give the name first and let you ponder it for a second: Chickenhare. Really yet? Let’s get started.

I wish I were as cool as Scott Pilgrim.
Every so often I come across a comic series so brilliant that I can’t help but tell everyone about it. Right now that series is Scott Pilgrim. However, there are two hesitations that come along with talking about the Scott Pilgrim series. First, it is definitely for kids past 13 years or at least old enough to handle mild adult situations and language. There isn’t extreme language, but it can get rough in...

Prepare for MORE nerd rage!
Not too long ago I wrote an article about the Ten Biggest Plot Holes in Dragonball Z. I tried to sleep the night afterward but I couldn’t. My mind kept racing to inform me of plot holes I missed. So after a week of restless nights I composed myself and plunked out another ten plot holes worth noting. I already covered the top ten, so here are Ten More Big Plot Holes in DBZ.
