From USAToday: “Finishing their unsuccessful runs last week: NBC’s My Own Worst Enemy (3.9 million viewers Monday), and ABC’s Wednesday duo Pushing Daisies (4.7 million) and Dirty Sexy Money (series-low 5.1 million). Both ABC shows will air a few remaining episodes next summer.”
Next summer?! I highly doubt that’s going to happen. I think we’ve seen all the...

Can’t say I disagree with any choices, but Heroes probably should have made the list (even though I certainly hope it gets better next Volume…).

Sometimes I wish this were a secret blog. That I could be openly candid, all of the time. That if I was pissed off, disappointed, confused, I could say so, without someone coming to me and asking why (I suppose that’s what friends are for, really). But that’s ok. I wouldn’t really want it any other way. I just have my moments.
Truth be told, right now, I am a little bit sad.

(via jootz)
I only reblog if it’s something I really want to be a part of my own Tumblr (or if it’s a conversation like this). Otherwise, I just use the Like tag, hoping one day there will be a way to search through those. And sometimes I choose to Private Reblog so I can save the content in my Dashboard, but not subject the community to the reblogged content (it’s under...

The 10 Most Disappointing Games of 2008 →
I’m really disappointed Age of Conan is on this list. I understand why: after about level 35, there just isn’t enough content and upon launch there were quite a few bugs. The bugs are mostly worked out now, but lack of content for high levels still plagues the game.
Still, I’ve played a LOT of online games and this is by and far the best to come along (if you have a PC...

Dear Tumblr,

I’m still waiting for the “like” feature to be made into a bookmarking feature. Seriously.
Love, Arielle
Yeah, I still don’t understand the Like feature as it stands now.
Speaking of which, tagging still has no use, does it? There sure are a lot of ways we can notate posts, but nothing we can do with the notations. :(

(via jaredm)
This is an amazing deal for one of the funniest, best-written shows ever made. If you like funny anything, take the $30 risk and get this series.
For this series, it’s no risk.

Bryan Fuller close to returning to Heroes →
His exact role on the sci-fi drama has not been determined, but he is expected to play a key role in the writers room alongside “Heroes” creator/executive producer/showrunner Tim Kring.
Good thing, because this is the only hope this show has at this point.
