Episode 023: Which Captain is Better?

Space captains and other heroes. Which captain was better on Seaquest? Roy or Ironside? Sorry Hurd but we had to put a bit of a twist on your question and include other heroes. But no worries, the SeaQuest captains are well covered. Heros, real or not, help us to dream for higher goals and provide a template for us to possibly be greater people than we are. And sci-fi captains undergo some very interesting scenarios. Commanding a crew through perilous situations, negotiating with strange beings ...

Episode 022: Dreams No Higher – freestyle

Freestyle: This is a bit of an experiment of ours. A recorded personal conversation just between Adam and Don The Producer without an audience in mind. This is how we chat with each other. The conversation starts with mention of a friend of Adam’s who just saw one of the last NASA shuttle launches. Interesting insights into human thought, ideas of individualism and motivation to be more than we have ever been before. Is the compassion for space travel over? And with that, do our dreams languish ...

Episode 021: Are Video Games Good Or Bad For You?

Are video games bad for you? I certainly hope not cause we play video games every day. Adam’s 80,000 gamer score on Xbox Live should tell you how many video games he’s playing. In all seriousness though, the effects of video games on young people has been a concern since the early days of gaming. We’ve come a long way from Custer’s Revenge and Leisure Suit Larry. These days games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto are far more realistic. We examine how realism in video games may be affecting...

Episode 020: Is Apple Ripping Me Off?

Is Steve Jobs a Thief? Is Apple stealing from me? We’ve got a concerned Leaguer, B Rocks DW specifically, that claims that his 4 year-old daughter has been running up a bill on his iTunes account. Is it a plot from the ‘evil’ corporations to gives us free software and make it super easy to run up a bill on game add-ons? Or is it developers just designing convenient software? We’ve noticed some pretty similar scenarios with Facebook apps and games on Xbox Live Arcade. Length: 21:50 minutes Specia...

Episode 019: Mac vs PC

We examine another old rivalry, this time in the personal computer industry. Which is better, Mac or PC? Both Don The Producer and Adam have different points of view on this one. Can you guess which one likes which? Windows is the dominant enterprise and consumer leader by leaps and bounds over Apple, but Apple has been gaining market share over the past ten years. So what does this trend mean, is the PC for your grandfather and the Macs for the young guys? Or is it the other way around? In this...

Episode 018: Xbox or Playstation?

Xbox or Playstation. The old rivals were Nintendo and Sega but there has been a changing of the guard. Which is better Xbox or Playstation? That’s right! It’s Bill Gates versus whoever is head of Sony! Xbox is seen as the dominant online gaming console and Playstation as the establishment of power and future-proofing with it’s Blu-ray drive. So which videogame console is best for you? A muted Adam explains in great detail all perspectives of the console rivalry (hoping to be unbiased of course)....

Episode 017: Is Nuclear Energy Safe?

Is Nuclear Energy Safe? With all the stuff going on with Japan and their nuclear plants in potential meltdown mode and now a plume of radioactive gas heading toward the west coast, how are we expected to think that nuclear energy is safe?

We talk about radiation poisoning and how it affects people and plants, iodine pills, Chernobyl and now Japan and nuclear disasters as a whole. We even talk about Jimmy...

Review: Battle: L.A.

Battle: L.A. When I first saw the trailer for Battle: Los Angeles, I couldn’t help think that this movie didn’t look too interesting save for the concept. Then a friend of mine had said that he read it was in some ways similar to “Black Hawk Down”. I was shocked to hear this because I love “Black Hawk Down” and do not compare many other films, let alone movies, to it. My friend then informed me it was based on the Marines. Well I was sold, at least enough to see the movie for myself. After seein...

Episode 016: How Can I Increase My Attention Span?

Is there a way to develop a stronger attention span without drugs from a doctor? A damn good question and we have a damn good answer. Answers at that really. Adam provides some really good insight on ways that you can increase your attention span without any doctors or drugs. We also talk about kids today that appear to have a lot of obstacles in the way fighting for their attention or inhibiting it; the need for Ritalin, media, the Internet, chatting while doing homework and the schizophrenic p...
