		<title>Tron: Legacy / Exclaim!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It&#8217;s more than a little ironic that what makes the original Tron (released in 1982) so visually striking isn&#8217;t the rudimentary computer graphics that it features, which would go on to inspire the widespread use of CGI in cinema. No, it&#8217;s something far more low-tech: the &#8216;backlit animation&#8217; that would give the film&#8217;s &#8216;in computer&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Archive: E3 2009 Previews / GamesMaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The August 2009 issue of GamesMaster magazine was its &#8220;Hands-on E3 Special&#8221; and I was those hands &#8211; quite literally, too, because loads of the &#8220;hands-on&#8221; boxes in this issue are written by me &#8211; even if I didn&#8217;t write the rest of the article. So a slightly odd way of doing things, but if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rogers, The Local Programming Improvement Fund, and Passing the Buck to the Consumer / Future Shop Tech Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I&#8217;m lazy. I&#8217;m so lazy that I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m overpaying for cable, because I haven&#8217;t bothered to shop around and find out if there are better deals available&#8211;though with cable TV seeming to be a duopoly between Bell and Rogers&#8211;neither whose prices really differ significantly&#8211;in Toronto, I&#8217;m the kind of beaten down consumer that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Film Friday: &#8220;Kill All Hippies&#8221; / Torontoist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Last week one of our regular commenters, Derek Jensen, said he&#8217;d be going to see District 9 again rather than anything new. Perhaps this week we can convince him (and you?) to go and see In the Loop, because it&#8217;s still playing and still fantastic. It&#8217;s at the Cumberland (159 Cumberland Street) daily at 1:30 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Archive: February 2009: At Være Sneet Helt Inde / Game Reactor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lovely big picture of one of the completely rubbish new characters they added to Street Fighter IV for no particular reason on the cover of this issue of Game Reactor, which mostly serves to remind me I haven&#8217;t played it enough recently and also to be annoyed that they didn&#8217;t put any of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Film Friday: &#8220;Glorious Bastard&#8221; / Torontoist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Officially, there is one film you need to see this week. It is In the Loop. Now, we know you&#8217;ve heard about nothing but Inglourious Basterds for weeks—if not months—by now, and I admit it&#8217;s easy to be swayed by such an obvious option: a clever, entirely fictional take on a defining moment in history, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Archive: December 2008: Anderledes Spiludvikling / Game Reactor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I keep forgetting that I write this column. Unfortunate, really, considering it&#8217;s such a lovely magazine (in terms of design; being in Danish I still can&#8217;t read a jot of it.) I should really have remembered writing this one, at the very least to let Jim Munroe and Jim McGinley know that I got some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Film Friday: &#8220;Partition 7&#8243; / Torontoist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If there’s one thing that Torontoist thought when we saw the trailer for District 9, it was “we can’t wait to play that video game; it looks awesome.” It wasn’t until some time later that we put together that the director, Neil Blomkamp, was indeed the director originally attached to direct the (ill-fated) Halo adaptation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Film Friday: &#8220;Nollywood Livin&#8217;&#8221; / Torontoist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Recently we’ve—rather randomly—been reading someone’s blog reminiscing about the highs and lows (mostly lows) of living with a scholarship basketball player in college, Livin’ Large. It was after reading about ten or so entries we realized that we were, most likely, reading the blog of the film we’ll probably be writing about in five years [...]]]></description>

		<title>Film Friday: &#8220;You Don&#8217;t Need a Root Canal—You Need a New DJ&#8221; / Torontoist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Viral marketing, eh? It’s generally annoying, but sometimes genius. In fact, sometimes it’s too genius, because Funny People’s viral pièce de résistance, Raaaaaaaandy is clearly ten times funnier than the film it’s supposed to be promoting. Starring Aziz Ansari and supposedly not a razor-sharp takedown of comedy’s bête noire, Dane Cook (hmm, we’ve gone a [...]]]></description>
