Matthew Dorry
Fascinated with the written language from a tender, young age, I have notebooks sprawled across my room of anything and everything I have thoughts on. I play with prose, immersing myself in the rhythm and flow of the sentence; the paragraph; the page. All that comma-filled goodness aside, I'm a gamer. I have been since my first mind-blowing experiences with games like Blaster Master, A Boy And His Blob, Wizards & Warriors, and Dragon Power. Super Mario Bros ain't a thang. And who can forget Marble Madness. My golden age of gaming, however, was the SNES. To this day, no game will ever be more amazing, in my mind, than Super Metroid. And yet, here we are in an age of Hi-Def, Hi-Res, Hi-Fi, WiFi gaming. With keen sight, I keep watch on the progression of games and bring it to you with the voice of a gamer. I am a nerd online.

Movie Review: The Men Who Stare At Goats
When one hears the words The Men Who Stare At Goats, images of either the absurd or the anthropological (or both) may conjure themselves in one's mind. Absurd? Yes, but not in the way one might surmise from watching the film's trailer. Anthropological? Well, we'll come to that later. This is where I'm supposed to write a brief, thetical statement about the film in question, but I can't. In fact, I can't even say that The Men Who Stare At Goats is about men who stare at goats. It's not.
