How to be Conversant in ‘Lost’
November 15, 2012 | Admin
As much as I try, even I can’t watch all the television there ever was. Personally, I despise the moments where I admit I haven’t seen a show and the person I’m talking to freaks out. “How can you claim a television obsession and have never seen [Insert title]?!?!” I’m sure you have also had a moment like this and I’m here to help. Here’s everything you need to know to have a conversation with someone about Lost. [SPOILER ALERT]- I would think this is obvious, but I just wanted to cover my bases. Read More

November 14, 2012 | Andy Manshel
The latest, and as always, ridiculous It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia continues to a 12th season. And what better show to sit down with an Ultimate 6er for? Well, maybe not the entire six pack since some of these are strictly for the type of… gentlemen… that the series showcases. So here’s to everyone’s favorite show about everyone’s favorite alcoholics.

November a Month of Giving Thanks
November 13, 2012 | Tristan Chan
Admittedly we joined the party a bit late this time around. What seems to be the latest craze in Facebook trends, is posting what you’re thankful for each day during the month of November, because nothing says thanks quite like a shout out on FB! So we thought we’d have a little fun with it by doling out some internet appreciation, as well as some levity. Read More

Awesomesauce- IFTTT
November 8, 2012 | Laura Mego 1
While on the younger end of the spectrum, I don’t consider myself to be particularly tech savvy. Let’s put it this way- I may have watched a liveblog of an Apple announcement or two, but I can’t rebuild your hard drive. Despite this, I’m constantly surprised by the number of services I use on a daily basis that not one of my friends or coworkers has EVER heard of. I’m here to show you some of the coolest things you’ve never heard of…yet.

Presidential Election Playlist
November 6, 2012 | Tristan Chan
I typically reserve Amurrrcuhhh the Playlist for my favorite holiday, Amurrrcuhhh Day. Oh you don’t follow? July 4th. But only every four years do we have the right to elect our President of the United States, and what’s more Amurrrcan than that? Look I realize that many folks have become jaded by all of the ads, attacks, lines, and even politics of this and more recent elections. But lets remember that our founding fathers and mothers fought to bring us all equality in the right to vote. So I remind you to do your part, and exercise that right. Make history count, because your vote certainly does.

Mock Election Face-Off: Jon Stewart vs. Stephen Colbert
November 6, 2012 | Katie Chaffee
When a video clip of a toddler bawling her eyes out because she is tired of “Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney” becomes viral, it’s clear the rest of the country must be getting pretty tired of all the election hullabaloo as well. So let’s take a break from the two most talked about men for a second and focus on the two most watched; Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

Pop Culture Review – Oct. 28 – Nov. 4
November 4, 2012 | Nik Heimach
In case you missed it (or hate huge news in popular culture), Disney acquired Lucasfilm this week for $4.05 billion dollars. One day later, Lucasfilm announced a new Star Wars trilogy is in the works, with Episode VII expected to release in 2015. For more important details on the matter and why you should care, check out my special Disney-Star Wars Pop Culture feature.
Now, it’s time for all the happenings that don’t involve corporate control, lightsabers, and the (arguably) most important film franchise in our culture. Oh don’t worry, other news, you’re…still…important… Read More
