(S03E24) "All rocks. Very typical." - Bailey
Speaking of typical? This episode. But trust me... after last week's spin-off installment of Grey's Anatomy, it was a welcome return to the show that I've come to expect. We weren't left without hints of what transpired last week though. Besides Sloan's incessant desire to know how Addison's week in the sun went, Dr. Montgomery was continually bombarded all episode long with pregnant women. A slap-in-the-face to help us recall what we found out last week - she can't conceive. If this keeps up into next week's finale, it'll make sense though. What better catalyst to send Addison to LA and take Naomi up on her job offer than constant reminders that she has "fossilized eggs?" Frankly, I'm not sure that I care. Addison wasn't in this episode all that much and while that says nothing about the spin-off, it proves that the original will be just fine without her.

Once again, this week’s episode of The Office took most of the Dunder-Mifflin staff away from the office. Some of the DM employees headed off to a high school job fair, others played golf, a couple stayed back in the office and everyone else went home. So it’s likely that those of you who prefer episodes of The Office to take place in the actual office were a bit disappointed tonight.

See that scary man? That there is Archer Quinn, self-proclaimed savior of mankind. He's prepping a
free energy device that he plans to unveil on June 20th of this year, on which date he predicts "the oil reign and those who governed by their money and crushed the people by the taxes and control of the most basic of needs shall be put down for all time." Yeah, pretty wild stuff. And if that wasn't enough, he's decided to nickname his gravity-based device the "Sword of God." His prior experience involves some sort of "thermal accelerator" (pictured) and a myriad of other inventions, so he doesn't seem to think breaking Newton's laws should be much of a problem. Guess it won't take long to find out. This should be a fun one.

A violent film that lectures the audience about violence. Wow. Great idea. Review by Brian Orndorf. (Grade: D)

We don't really know if the list of
three new song packs for
Guitar Hero II reported by
HarmonixFans.com is on the level. They look logical enough to us, but we also don't have access to the mysterious "Microsoft certification documents" from which the information was reportedly taken. So, take it with a grain of cliché, but here's the list:
Pack 1: "Cowboys From Hell," "I Love Rock & Roll," "Cochise"
Pack 2: "Godzilla," "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Sharp Dressed Man"
Pack 3: "Iron Man," "Take Me Out," "Smoke on the Water"
The thing that makes this list harder to dismiss is that this same site had a list of
the first packs of
GH songs before they were released to the public, and HarmonixFans says this latest tidbit is from the same source. Of course, they also qualify that the last batch of songs was on
PartnerNet when they reported it and this one isn't. So, feel free to discuss the relative merits of the songs, just don't go buy $24,000 of MS points (or whatever
they cost) in anticipation.

By far the biggest news this week has been the return of the Mac clones, courtesy of a tiny company in Florida doing business under the name "Psystar." While Psystar has sparked the imaginations -- and disdain -- of Mac lovers by offering a $399 PC capable of running Mac OS X, it hasn't been the only blog-worthy topic.

Calling a 43 year-old man who still wears Hot Topic goth make-up and leather cat suits leftover from

Even Rachel Wood, whom he is
now describing as his "twin":
"I've found my double, my twin, with my new girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood," the 38-year-old rocker tells France's Le Parisien newspaper.
"She's 19 and certainly that's very young," he added, "but that's not a problem for me. She likes the same things as me. She understands I like to get up when night falls and go to sleep at dawn."
Riiiight. I guess this makes a certain amount of sense considering you'd have to have the wisdom and world experience of a 19 year-old to possibly "understand" why a man approaching his 50's would insist upon fashioning himself as some kind of night-walking vampire coke head.

It seems those eager to sever limbs and engage in increasingly violent stylus shenanigans still have a fair bit of waiting ahead of them. Speaking to
CVG, outspoken and occasionally bonkers designer, Tomonobu Itagaki, has said that he hopes to have
Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword done sometime in Autumn. With the DS platform targeting everyone and their grandmother, perhaps solace can be taken in the fact that this most
touchy-feely entry in the series is also set to be the easiest. "
Relax; I don't planning [sic] on making Ninja Gaiden DS as difficult as the Xbox variants," assures Itagaki. "My first priority is giving everyone the chance to try this innovative new control scheme and enjoy how great it feels to manipulate Hayabusa."
When asked if there would be a connection between the portable adventure and the proper console sequel, Ninja Gaiden 2, Itagaki explains that you "may be able to extrapolate some similarities between the two, yes, and not just in the area of story." We'll leave you to extrapolate (hint: both feature a ninja killing things) while we fantasize about how great it feels to manipulate Hayabusa. Before he comes out. In the game. Read |

It's not a bad game, but Silverfall's enormous potential and pretty graphics are overshadowed by its weak story, poor interface, and frustrating design elements.
I?m pretty sure most American adolescent boys keep somewhat similar summer schedules. Wake up. Go run around outside. Piss off the neighbors. Eat Kraft spirals macaroni and cheese. Play GI Joes. Kick a soccer ball around. Scarf down some grilled cheese. Go inside and watch a television show. Fall asleep. Start over. This was the pre-manhood ritual, and I loved every moment. My television show of choice was ?Home Improvement?, and like any eager eight year old, I ate it up. Then, everything changed.
MRDV is a design group that put together this absolutely crazy roof extension in Rotterdam. I'm wondering how they managed to get planning permission for the blue monstrosity, as it just doesn't look right on the outside. Frankly, it doesn't look right on the inside either—check out those crazy floating stairs in the gallery below. My brain hurts. Still, you gotta love the architecture, even if the design does make your grey matter swell. [
