About me: ** new pic: sitting in the sun in Austin ** I'm a tall, basketball playing, indie pop listening, book reading, tech obsessed, mild mannered guy from San Francisco. I try to be nice to everybody, and I get a kick out of smart people that can think for themselves.

Review Icon magellan reviewed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars in iPhone Games:
Oh man, this game is as good as advertised. The storyline is cool, the music is fantastic, and it's a lot of fun to just drive around the city wreaking havoc. And that's before getting to any of the real gameplay. The fact that this game is played on a cell phone is just mindblowing.

Review Icon magellan reviewed NFL Best Fans on the Planet Super Bowl Ad in 2010 Super Bowl Commercials:
I agree with IG's review below, but I just can't give that clip of Reggie Bush airborn anything less than three stars. Oh yeah, and I like the Arcade Fire song as well.

Review Icon magellan reviewed Suede in San Francisco Night Clubs:
I've been in here a few times - usually it's cheesy, harmless fun.

My friend was walking by on Saturday night and remarked on how unusually tough the crowd looked going in. A few hours later there were shootings and a murder.

That's a fair point - let me put a bit of thought into a newbie definition.

IG, yes, it does happen. Under the new rule, even those obnoxious, flame throwing newbies will be protected from other members. The admins can handle those cases - I think they're few and far between enough.

Review Icon magellan reviewed 2009 Bruce Springsteen in Super Bowl Half Time Shows:
As dictated by the laws of the Northeast United States, I am a mild fan of a bunch of Bruce Springsteen stuff and have seen him concert a number of times. Bruce is known for being amazingly high energy, and amazingly consistent when on tour - he goes all out, every show.

The Super Bowl show was no different. He tends to give folks their money's worth.

Review Icon magellan reviewed 2010 The Who in Super Bowl Half Time Shows:
Those songs are so good that even performed at a shadow of their original energy, they are still better than most of the stuff out there. Plus, I'd watch Pete Townsend windmill his guitar even if he were 100 years old.
