Movie flashback: "Would you like to swing on a star?"

This week's movie flashback has action, adventure, slapstick comedy, love and a crazy ball biting dog. What else could it be other then Hudson Hawk? This 1991 flick starring Bruce Willis (and a host of other big names) is one of my favorites.

Drone: not just another tower defense game

Tower defense games are a dime a dozen nowadays. To make matters worse, the vast majority of them are pretty awful. The latest one making the rounds is called Drone, and this independently developed little title does tons of stuff I've never seen in a tower defense game.

Word of the day: quisling

It sort of sounds like something straight out of the mystical worlds of Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings, doesn't it? While that may not be where the word came from, you'll find plenty of quislings in those tales, nonetheless.

Recap: Springtime at the Gardens
