Today on the 5: I finally got around to finishing the last DLC release for Fallout: New Vegas. While Lonesome Road is a fairly standard journey for the most part, it's the way it finishes that really impressed me.

Today on the 5: Guns are the big talking point in America right now, as they always are after a mass shooting. I'm curious what people outside the US think of our national obsession.

This week:

Bluebeards
Baby Einstein
Brooke Greenberg

New GITS

Today on the 5: I've recently started watching The X-Files, a show I haven't seen since it was still on the air. There are a lot of people who feel the show no longer has any bite, as time has made the themes it covered obsolete. I'm not so sure.

Today on the 5: Over the holidays, I was able to play around with an app called Waze on a long drive where I was the passenger. While the app itself isn't exactly something I'd use on a daily basis, it's a great demonstration on the possibilities of crowdsourcing.

Today on the 5: I recently watched the new take on adapting Judge Dredd to film. I went in with slightly positive expectations, and I'm happy to report that Dredd was far better than I had hoped.

This week:

James Bond
David Drake
Linux Powered Rifle

Today on the 5: The final part of my Star Trek: The Motion Picture review series takes on the answer that I found in this movie to one of my earlier fives. Specifically, the first Star Trek film seems to really capture the spirit of what Star Trek is.

Today on the 5: Part two of my three-part review of Star Trek: The Motion Picture continues with my take on the second half of the film. Where the first half felt like an assembly job of the Enterprise crew, the second part really gets to the meat of the story.
