The Best Videogames of 2014

January 2, 2015 by Ian Boudreau 1 Comment

Everyone who writes about games must create a top ten list at the end of every year (it’s part of our religion, which also dictates that we must qualify them as not being “authoritative”). So here are the Best Games of 2014, according to me. You may get to the end of this list and…

From The Desk Of Your Bitter Editor: 2014’s Top 50 Songs

December 31, 2014 by Lisa Needham Leave a Comment

Every time I try to make year-end best of lists, I panic because I realize there’s SO MUCH MUSIC I didn’t get around to listening to this year, and I’m probably missing something amazing. Too late for 2014, I guess. These are my top 50 songs of the year. Videos for the first ten and…

The Best Games That Did Not Come Out in 2014

December 31, 2014 by Ian Boudreau Leave a Comment

The early access/buy-in beta trend that got going in earnest with Minecraft way back in…

Yee-ha! Let’s round ‘em up! It’s the end of 2014, and this year’s movie trend was…well, the emerging style was…hmmm. Okay, let’s face it: a bunch of movies came out, some good, some bad, some indifferent.

The Best Romance Novels I Read In 2014

December 30, 2014 by Jessica Luther 2 Comments

I read a lot of romance novels, bouncing around between historicals and contemporaries, often reading sports-themed ones, getting stuck on a single author deep diving into their oeuvre, never really paying attention to when a book was written (though, of course, there are books/authors I seek out and pre-order and wait for without any ounce…

Great Songs from 2014 – Lang Schmitt Edition

December 30, 2014 by Elizabeth Lane Leave a Comment

To ring out 2014, I selected nine very good music tracks from the year. No, I’m not so arrogant as to pretend I found the best. (I know for a fact I didn’t, least of all because I made a point of going for songs you might have missed.) Scroll down to the end for…
