Weekly Onion Round-up 2/12

Let's do an early round-up to make up for being a day late last week. I got a little bit more fodder to work with this week... Or rather, less things that I have more to gab on about. — Music for Relief released 4 more tracks — The "Download to Donate to Haiti" album has been given four more tracks which can be downloaded, free of charge, at the Music for Relief website. This includes "Butterfly" by Weezer, "Slipstream" by The Crystal Method, "Gold Guns Girls" by Metric, and "Times Like These...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 2/7

Hello, my little onions. I'm a liar, a dirty liar. These are the eyes of a liar. Because I don't really have anything to round up this week. At least, not anything that would interest you in the smallest atom-sized bit. I've been a Mexican slave for the last few weeks, and I intend to continue such a routine. And why is that? Because Papa's got his eyes on some fancy new things. I need to pick the fruit of such labor. Such as the brand spank'n new computer I'm using at this very moment. Finally,...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 1/30

I can't say there's a tremendous amount that has interested me this week. It's probably from all the work I've continued to amass, and that the few remaining hours left unsold to my employer have been consumed by Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. Then again, maybe some things DID pique my interest, but the Bloody Marys coursing through my veins could be suppressing my short term memory at the moment. Regardless, I didn't want to miss my onion round-up on its one week inception-versary, so here's SOMETHING f...

Weekly Onion Round-Up 1/23

I haven't been writing a tremendous amount lately considering my 50-60 hour work weeks. (Hey, Papa needs a new computer.) For that, I do apologize. I wanted to start a sort of weekly wrap-up thing-a-ma-bob for quick little tidbits I've collected throughout the week (mostly gaming-related) that I find particularly interesting. I call it the "Weekly Onion Round-Up." For its debut however, everything is going to be fairly... outdated. So if any of this is old news (for, you know, the three peopl...

iCarly just keeps getting better and better.

The new iCarly special (which very unfortunately is only a normal-length episode) is looking to be pretty huge, and may possibly be that "iThink They Kissed" sequel we've all been waiting for. Yes, we know Freddie saves Carly from certain doom. But I had no idea just what that would escalate into... The first real promo for the episode was hinting the two would kiss when Carly is leaning in to Freddie at his bedside. However, the newest promo shows much more... Not only do they kiss, but they...

What’s better than “iQuit iCarly”?

Nothing at the moment. This was easily the best episode in the entire series to date. (And it accomplished this without ANY love triangle drama with Freddie, as a matter of fact.) However, Dan Schneider isn't wasting any time gearing up for the FIFTH iCarly faux-movie premiere in January: "iSaved Your Life." And with good reason... These "movies" rake in more viewers than any normal-length episodes. And personally, I feel the show works better with a 60-minute run-time. There's just so much goin...

Let’s get geared up for “iQuit iCarly”! This Saturday!

I love the insanity that is iCarly. I'm jealous of today's youth for having such high accessibility to this kind of A/V fun. Yes, I know they're actors, but if you've ever been to YouTube, you know kids do shit like this all the time (including my little brothers). And let's not miss "iQuit iCarly" airing this Saturday at 8 PM EST. DanWarp is promoting it as a pretty big deal.

Love triangle drama in the new iCarly special!

While watching tonight's new episode of iCarly, "iMove Out" (which, by the way, was one of the better episodes), we got a couple new promos for the series's fourth movie-sized iCarly episode set to air in December, "iQuit iCarly." Essentially, Sam and Carly have a huge fight of unknown origin that causes them to "break up" the show. (Basically the same general plot of season one's "iDon't Want to Fight" except extended to 60 minutes and a lot more dramatic.) One of the promos shows the two...

Don’t miss “iMove Out” this Saturday!

Make sure to tune into Nickelodeon this Saturday for the premiere of the newest iCarly episode, "iMove Out." Freddie has had it "up to here" with his obsessively protective mother, so what's he do? Well, in Seattle, apparently a 17-year-old-playing-a-15-year-old can move out onto his own without emancipating himself and live in some random basement in his apartment building. It's not supposed to make sense. It's just supposed to be funny. And considering this looks like the first Freddie-cent...

iCarly is for kids… only?

Speaking of iCarly, I would like to offer a rant spawned by a comment made to me this morning about my iCarly fandom. Let me tell you, this occurrence today just made me want to shake a baby. While recollecting upon Sam's classic electrocuting-locker scene ("we do not electrocute friends")... a fellow coworker inquired what I was referring to. I explained it was iCarly, which is probably my favorite show on television right now, and I mentioned it was a Nickelodeon show. With a chuckle, she m...
