    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed First Impressions
    Posted by Jon Chan on Aug 27, 2008 in All, PlayNo comments

    With Amrit off on his Caribbean escapades these next weeks, I realized we won’t be getting the chance to podcast for some time. I wanted to save my reactions of the demo for Amrit and the podcast so I could really rant and rave and have my ideas challenged… but it doesn’t seem that I’ll [...]

    Secondary Fire Podcast - August 20th, 2008
    Posted by Jon Chan on Aug 22, 2008 in All, PODCASTNo comments

    Snowball is nowhere to be found - we’re assuming he’s riding the pineapple express somewhere in his basement.
    Even with his 360 red-ringing on him right before the Force Unleashed demo, Jon still manages to rave about Braid, and convinces Amrit to give TF2 another go. Amrit talks about his experience with Bionic Commando Rearmed, [...]

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Info
    Posted by Jon Chan on Aug 19, 2008 in All, Play1 comment

    So I have, in my virtual hand, the Force Unleashed fact sheet. I’ll post the facts in bold, and my inferences in plain text.
    The game takes place between Episode III and IV.
    The apprentice, codenamed Starkiller, seems to be a ‘foster-son’ to Darth Vader. We know he doesn’t work out, or at the very least, [...]

    Tropic Thunder Review
    Posted by Jon Chan on Aug 16, 2008 in All, Watch7 comments

    Tropic Thunder is a steroidal evolution of your average Ben Stiller comedy.
    After Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, you’d think it would be impossible to top the absurdity level in today’s comedies. But someone, someway, Tropic Thunder does it. While there are no bottomless parties, inbred cyclops, or Neil Patrick Harris, there is one [...]

    City and Colour - Bring Me Your Love Review
    Posted by Jon Chan on Aug 15, 2008 in All, Hear1 comment

    I’ve been a fan of Dallas Green since hearing his voice amid the aggressive electric guitar rifts and agonized screaming of Alexisonfire. I became familiar with the name when he released his own acoustic album, Sometimes, a simple album which featured a majority of sorrowful and introspective songs.
    If you expect Bring Me Your Love to [...]

    Secondary Fire Podcast - August 13, 2008
    Posted by Jon Chan on Aug 15, 2008 in All, PODCAST5 comments

    Though we get a bit on the serious side, it’s still another podcast of many tangents. Jon debates between spending his internet money on Braid or Bionic Commando Rearmed, speaking highly of the philosophical lessons to be learned from the former. He also speaks on Ninja Reflex, and the wise, yet enigmatic idioms that accompany [...]

    Something About These Olympics…
    Posted by Jon Chan on Aug 14, 2008 in All, WatchNo comments

    There’s something in the air at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and I’m not saying that because my eyes are slanted and my last name is Chan.
    If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that broadcasts more than just your own nation’s performances, you know what I mean. It’s not just the overly grand opening ceremony, or [...]
