The home team won every game, except for that fateful Game 6 that Pau Gasol won with that tip-in. I can still see that play happen in my head as…

  Regular season record: 2-1, Spurs March 9 – LAC 120, SA 108 February 18 – SA 103, LAC 100 December 28 – LAC 90, SA 115 It’s Duncan/Parker versus Griffin/Paul! This could not get any better!

Battleship Review: It’s From a Board Game and Stars Rihanna, so Don’t Expect Too Much

Battleship is a classic naval strategy game about aircraft carriers, submarines and patrol boats. It started as a pen and paper game even before World War I, and was eventually made into a board game by the Milton-Bradley company in 1967. This game remained popular enough even in more recent years as an electronic versions were produced for the Playstation, Wii and the DS. Despite its long-lasting appeal as a game, I must admit this was hardly the game that I would expect could inspire a summer blockbuster movie. When I heard that this movie was based on a game,…

Our Ninja Nerdle is at it again! He’s been traveling the world and sneaking his way into places unreachable for us regular folk. Today, his target: Marvel’s The Avengers premiere. This time, however, we took our precious camera back and gave him an old Blackberry Curve instead. For a ninja, he’s got the worst buttery fingers for electronics. But we have no fear since he’ll just be sitting in a comfy theater chair live-tweeting all two hours and twenty-two minutes of The Avengers.   Our Ninja Nerdle is somewhere in Asia right now (exact location undisclosed and it looks like…
