So much Star Wars is happening around us. As I’m typing up this post, we literally got an announcement that Rian Johnson is directing a brand new trilogy of Star Wars related films. That’s crazy!

What if…you played video games? The Ctrl + Alt + Del cartoon sets out to ask that heady question and precious little else.

To truly let… Read more S2:E7 – Ctrl + Alt + Del Cartoon at Half Speed
Following the wild success of Home Alone, it was inevitable that its precocious star would be bestowed with that most precious of gifts: his own poorly thought-out Saturday morning cartoon.
