    MasterChef Season Premiere: Delivery Driver Cum Painter is the Man to Beat

    MasterChef is back for its fourth season, premiering with its two-hour audition sessions of a hundred home cooks. Thanks to a booming reality TV industry, we now know that drama and suspense also happens in the kitchen, especially when you have three professional foodies judging the show: the unapologetic cussing Gordon Ramsay, the demanding Graham Elliot and stern/poker-faced Joe Bastianich. The auditions feature a blend of astounding dishes, stirring personal stories and personalities that range from queer to the hilarious. With a 5-minute time constraint and the pressure to talk with the judges while preparing a dish, the conversations also…

    The Voice Recap: Kris Thomas & Josiah Hawley Out; Teams Adam & Blake Remain Intact

    The Voice may be shredding off two more artists from its roster tonight but thoughts, prayers and aid are all out for the people of Oklahoma: Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert provide a poignant performance of “Over You”; Shakira shares the stage with Sasha Allen and Kris Thomas for a song of compassion and strength. Soothing voices are also provided by teams Blake and Usher with songs ranging from Alabama’s “Mountain Music” to the classic “The Look of Love”. Power comes courtesy of Adam’s triumvirate of dynamite voices (Judith Hill, Sarah Simmons and Amber Carrington) taking on “I Got The…

    Dr. Oz: Germs Germs Everywhere & Rachael Ray’s Weight Loss Recipes (5/21/13)

    Today on The Dr. Oz Show, the National Sanitation Foundation has released their annual study revealing the surprising places where germs lurk inside the kitchen and how to kill ‘em. In fact, 20% of all food illnesses are sourced back to our kitchens. Our first stop in the kitchen is the blender. Lisa Yakas, a microbiologist with the NSF, says they’ve even found e. coli in the average blender. Take apart the blender and wash/dry the pieces separately. The gasket is the worst place where the germs live. Up next is the coffee maker. It’s moist and dark, and that’s…

It’s All About the Attitude: WWE ’13 Review

Yuke’s and THQ released last week the latest game from the WWE video game franchise, WWE ‘13. After playing with my own copy of the game for a good 12-14 hours, I realized that the one word that can describe the game has got to be attitude. From the WWE’s top villain, WWE Champion CM Punk being on the cover, to “The Baddest Man on the Planet” Mike Tyson being a playable character, to the entire Attitude Era game mode, WWE ‘13 is all about attitude. What’s New The Attitude Era takes the spotlight in this year’s game and takes…

More of Everything: A Resident Evil 6 Review

And I mean more. Capcom’s latest release in the title series promised us old-school zombies and a lot of nostalgic material along with brand new content in the RE storyline in 3 different campaigns (and another one after you finish those). But when you think about that statement, it may seem a lot to put in just one title. That’s exactly how playing through Resident Evil 6 will make you feel. I liken it to a kid given the freedom to put whatever toppings he wants on his flavored yogurt, regardless of whether the combinations taste good or not. But…

WWE 13: The Revolution Is Here

I’m gonna go out on a limb right now and make a sweeping declaration: you have yet to play a WWE game with this much Attitude in your life so far. Well, you could say you’ve played No Mercy or all the other games that actually came out back then in the Attitude Era, but you haven’t seen a game like this before. Why all the Attitude talk, you ask? Because that’s what this year’s wrestling video game offering, WWE ’13, is all about. It’s gonna be all about the Attitude Era, and you get to be smack dab in the middle…

As promised, Telltale has released “Long Road Ahead”, the 3rd of 5 episodes in The Walking Dead Video Game before August ended. I am telling you now that decisions have definitely become harder to make and trust doesn’t come cheap. If you want to refresh your memory, take a moment to read on Episode 1 and 2 here. The game starts off with Lee and Kenny back in Macon to gather supplies from the pharmacy. A shrill cry by the end of the street stirs up the walkers. A girl has been hiding in one of the buildings but has…
