So, what can you do with $5 these days? Get a Happy Meal, or a footlong sub. Take a ride on a mass transit people-mover. Put just over a gallon of gasoline in your car. Or, get yourself lots, and I mean lots, of entertainment. On the surface, Poker Night at the Inventory sounds like… Continue reading Game Review: Poker Night at the Inventory

IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Angels & Demons
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/angelsndemons.mp3] When I was studying English at university, I came across a revelation. It was a place full of distractions that could sap the time and energy of the unwary student, and deadlines do not often change based on a hangover or waking up in an unfamiliar place. However, it is possible, under those circumstances,… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Angels & Demons
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Falling Down
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/fallingdown.mp3] I’m going to go out on a limb and make an assumption about you, the person about to experience this review. If you’re above the age of university graduation, you’re working a job you don’t particularly like. Chances are, instead of being in a place where you do something that not only pays your… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Falling Down
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Masters of the Universe
This week’s IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! brought to you by a generous donation by Rick Carroll. Thank you for your support! [audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/he-man.mp3] The universe, be there a master of it or no, seems to have an interesting sense of irony. You see, I watched Toy Story 3 for the first time the night before I… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Masters of the Universe

Further Thoughts on Zwartboek
My wife did an excellent job reviewing Black Book yesterday. I can’t say I disagree with anything she said. The film (called Zwartboek in its native Dutch) didn’t work quite as well as it could have on a variety of levels. Danielle touched on a couple and I’d like to expand on them, mostly because… Continue reading Further Thoughts on Zwartboek
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Black Book
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/blackbook.mp3] This review marks the one year anniversary of ICFN’s podcast component, and to celebrate this, uh, monumental occasion, this review is being written and voiced by me, Danielle, aka that wife Josh always talks about. You’ll probably notice some stylistic differences between the two of us, too, so try not to get your panties… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Black Book
Movie Review: Red
Seeing Red was admittedly not a choice I’d have made on my own. But my mother recommended it to me. Mom doesn’t see too many action flicks, you see. She has an aversion to rampant bloodshed and casual cluster F-bombs. So going into Red, knowing its premise, seeing MovieBob’s review and able to name pretty… Continue reading Movie Review: Red
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Pandorum
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/pandorum.mp3] I am loathe to admit this, but I’ve made it a point in my writing and especially this series not to be disingenuous in my assertions. That’s a good way to get punched in the face. So here it is: I don’t like spook houses. Those standalone buildings in carnivals, fairs and amusement parts… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX!

Game Review: Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening
This review contains spoilers. Fairly be ye warned. This is a review that’s admittedly been a very long time coming. My experience with Dragon Age: Origins, from my initial enthusiasm to my gripes about bugs and length, is pretty well documented. I picked up the expansion, Awakening in lieu of playing through the base game… Continue reading Game Review: Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening
