“Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings” for the Wii – Trust Me…

Speaking of Wii games, the new Indiana Jones game looks quite adventurous. Sporting some neat motion controls and some puzzle play that looks like it might be similar to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, which was, of course, the greatest Indiana Jones game ever made. Pretty kewl video about the game, and I [...]

Disney to Release “Toy Story Midway Mania” as Wii Game, No Need To Go To Disney Anymore

When I first rode “Toy Story Midway Mania” a few months ago, I was really underwhelmed. I mean, it’s a good ride, don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t get off going, “Wowee zowee! That was something I’ve never seen before!” You know that feeling — when you step off say, “Mission:Space” at Epcot and [...]

Back in grammar school, we used to do plays every so often. I remember one we did, my class had to learn to sing a song in Gaelic. They [...]

Ships and Dip V – Gaelic Storm “Beggerman” and Into the Pool

No one knows how to end a show like Gaelic Storm. First show, on the pool deck, and how do they top their crowd surfing from last year? They crowd surf INTO the pool. Awesome!
We actually saw Gaelic Storm the week before the cruise and asked Jessie Burns, the fiddler, if she was going to [...]

Ships and Dip V – Gaelic Storm “Born to be a Bachelor”

Well, as St. Patrick’s Day approaches, it seems only fitting to post some Ships and Dip V videos from a band that is led by someone who will someday be the Patron Saint of Liver Disease, Patrick Murphy. By the end of the cruise, Patrick complained he had “broken his liver”, but I like to [...]

Ships and Dip V – “Some Fantastic”

Here’s a video of the start of the sail away concert from Ships and Dip V — BnL doing Some Fantastic. This is the only video I’ve got from the concert because I swore to myself I wasn’t going to watch the cruise through a viewfinder this time.

BnL at Universal Studios

From BnL at Universal

Got to see Barenaked Ladies do their first performance as a four-piece last night, and, if you’ll excuse the pun, they were fantastic. (Even punnier since the concert was at Universal Studios, whose sister park, Islands of Adventure has a section of the park devoted to the Marvel Super Heroes.)
On the Ships [...]
