Today we are going to take a break from Shane’s video game opus and shift gears to something much more serious; the many tragedies to have befallen upon the Gulf Coast. If it wasn’t so sad it would almost be pretty… and there is nothing funny about it. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on […]
Lost and Abandoned Disney Details
Walt Disney World Explorer CD-ROM (1996)
Released in 1996 (with a revised edition two years later), the Walt Disney World Explorer CD-ROM game quickly climbed the charts to become the best selling game of the year. Featuring an innovative combat interface, diabolical level design, and enhanced A.I., it went on to collect all the major awards and appeared on several Top […]
Haunted Mansion GameCube Edition is an Unfaithful Axe-Wielding Bride
The Haunted Mansion GameCube video game is sadly unfaithful to the source material. It bears no resemblance to the classic Disney attraction.
Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Queue
This tree is so much more awesome living 30 feet away from where it used to live. Today I want to talk about Interactive Pooh. No, I will not be stooping to any cheap bathroom jokes. I hope. But I did get a chance to see the new Queue for Winnie-the-Pooh out at the Magic […]
Adventures in the Magic Kingdom (1990)
If you grew up the 80s and didn’t own or want to own an NES, then either you spent your early years living in a bomb shelter with your paranoid parents, or you were a girl. And that’s not even true, because girls at least love Tetris, and the NES is so awesome you […]
The Backside of a Moose

But severed heads, you can stick those anywhere and it will still look classy. This is something females don’t seem […]
Ask Captain Nemo
If you need some information about Walt Disney World, all you have to do is pick up the phone and call Guest Relations. If you want your information to actually be accurate, go to Deb Wills. And for some of you, all the information you ever need is stored in your head, including the latest […]
Country Dinosaur Jubilee
The story goes that when Disneyland was first being built, they had no funds, no good ideas, and no edible landscape with which to manufacture a good Tomorrowland. Today, they might just fill it with character greeting areas and call it a Fantasyland Expansion, but back then they just went with whatever they had: Bathrooms […]
Lion King House of Horrors
Who doesn’t love the Lion King? It is non-stop cuddly creatures from the opening number until the very end of the movie. Snuggly lions, huggable warthogs, squeezy giraffes. Just sitting in the movie theater makes you want to save all the animals in the world, to spread a message of peace, love, and harmony. We […]
