I started watching a new NBC show last week (and caught up with all 8 current episodes) called Awake. The basic premise of the show is that a family has a car accident. The father (a police detective) wakes up in a reality where his son is dead.  In that reality he goes to sleep and wakes up in a reality where the wife is dead, but the son is alive. In essence, this guy is getting no sleep,

This past weekend I spent some time wrapping up Halo: Reach. This was a game that came with my Xbox last Thanksgiving (Black Friday deal). To be honest, I don't know how high on my list game would have been had it not come with my console, but I am sure glad it did!  I had a great time with it. When I first started playing it (around Christmas break), I was sort of into it.  I was following

Frogger, with real time traffic data. Now this is pretty cool (reminds me a bit of George in Seinfeld :-). )5th Ave Frogger from Tyler DeAngelo on Vimeo.

I never owned a Playstation 1, but I did have a friend who did back then. Back then I was also more into platform games like Super Mario, or beat-em-ups like Street Fighter, not so much into the survival horror game genre.  I did own Alone in the Dark for my Mac, which I now realize was a survival horror game ;-) In any case, having played the demo of Resident Evil 5 on my xbox, and having

Another interesting Australian series has come our way, this time it's not a cop show, but (I guess?) the Australian version of The Sopranos - I say "I guess" because I've never watched the sopranos. The basic plot revolves around the drama around this family - the adopted kids, the oldest son as the stereotypical person to take over the family business, the middle son who's not respected, the

This past weekend, after what seemed to be a long long time (but actually wasn't all that long), I finally beat Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.  You know, it wasn't a bad game.  I got it used for $7, and I didn't know what to make of it.  I always try to avoid dungeon crawlers, despite the fact that I end up liking them in the end.  The same was true this time around - I bought the game

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard during a technology show :-)  

This was a pretty interesting TED talk that I listened to while on the way to work last week

This years' Google April Fool's joke is epic: 8-bit mas, NES style!
