New game systems in 2014. Might as well grab one.


I'm a recovering video game addict. I fall off the wagon every now and then thanks to apps like Need For Speed and Angry Birds on my iPhone. The one thing I don't have is a Wii, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. The hours I can spend in front of it are not conducive to paying the mortgage bill.

One reason I can justify for not getting a system is that they usually have another one in 5 years or less. Well, not this time. According to CNN, Gaming sites are reporting there will be no new Sony or Microsoft systems until around 2014. That's more than enough time to buy a PS3 or Xbox 360 and get your money's worth.

So why not get Cashback for buying them while you're at it? Click here for video games.

To the movies this weekend!


The forecast for Saturday is rain. I think the forecaster said from mid morning until late Saturday night. I will be helping a local filmmaker on her movie, but my mind will be elsewhere.

Scream 4 and Rio are the newcomers to the theaters this week. I've seen every Scream and enjoyed them all. I can't believe it's been 15 years since the first one came out. Rio looks like a laughable kids movie that would definitely be worth some entertainment. I'll try to pick a time where I believe kids will be doing something else. Unfortunately, most of the Easter Egg hunts around here have been postponed on Saturday.

Hanna, Arthur, Source Code, Hop, Paul and Your Highness round out the list of movies I want to see ASAP. Alas, I will tinker with lights and cameras trying to make some local movie magic happen on Saturday.

What are your plans? Any movies you absolutely have to see? Tell us.
