This Week's Waste of Time

We're approaching the home stretch for entrants in the Independent Games Festival. Was this a terrible idea? Maybe. But when you're looking at games 200-250 of 304 there's no turning back. And that's good for you, because there's some fine free online gaming to be had in letters "p" through "s."

This Season's Funniest New Show, 'The League'

I'll start by saying I haven't seen Glee and Modern Family, but it's safe to say this year's funniest new show is FX Networks' The League. Laugh-out-loud politically incorrect humor that pushes the bar of what's acceptable even in the murky waters of cable TV.

Bryan Poyser to Do the 'Dance

Just a few minutes ago, word came down from the mountain – you know, the one(s) in Park City, Utah – announcing the 2010 Sundance Film Festival competition film lineup. Making the cut this year? Austin native son Bryan Poyser.

This Week's Waste of Time

Only two more weeks to go (after this) to get through all the entrants in the Independent Games Festival. You'll miss it when we're done. But till then, suck it up, and get ready for the next batch of free browser games that you can play and judge. Although your judgment – like mine – will have no bearing on the actual winners.

This Week's Waste of Time

Time to dive into another 50 entrants in the Independent Games Festival. Tired yet? Luckily there are a few free web-browser games between the letters "F" and "L." Now let's see what games actually play well with others.

More Gifts for Gamers

So, our gaming coverage in the print edition wasn't enough for you. We understand. Luckily, we have more where that came from. Below we review A Boy and His Blob, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010, and Axel & Pixel. All three have kid appeal but only two might be appropriate for the pre-teen or single-digit aged.

Feast Your Eyes on This

SXSW Film first tipped its hand last month by unveiling a brand-spanking-new award for excellence in Title Design. Eyeing the latest batch of 2010 panels to be announced, I think it's safe to say it: SXSW Film has a serious jones for the visual arts.

Austin Asian American Film Festival: '9500 Liberty'

Want a seat at Saturday’s free AAAFF screening of 9500 Liberty? You might have to fight for space with State Representatives Elliott Naishtat and Mark Strama and Austin City Council Members Laura Morrison and Bill Spelman: They’re all confirmed to attend the just-added screening of Eric Byler’s new documentary about immigration policy.

This Week's Waste of Time

It's time for part 2 of what's looking like a six-part series covering the entrants in the competition category of the Independent Games Festival. Luckily we have until March, but I think I can get this done sometime in mid-December. Last week we covered entries 1 through 50. Aiming for consistency, I'll sift through entries 50 through 100 this week.
