Why You Should Take a Peek at HBO’s Looking

As a massive fan of dramadies, HBO programming, and Jonathan Groff, I was very much anticipating the release of the new show Looking. If you haven’t heard about it yet, Looking follows three friends as they clumsily navigate their way through relationships, love, and careers. The first season just wrapped up, and it has been announced that the show will be renewed for a second season.

The Wire: It’s All In The Game In TV’s Perfect Show

“I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs. I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem.

The critically adored, yet utterly ignored show depicted how crime and corruption are woven into our society.

Gamer L33tism: Crymore N00b

With increased power often comes an increased sense of entitlement, arrogance, and intolerance for failure. Like a virus, it’s easy to let success infect you, and it’s contagious too. The name of this “sickness” is elitism ... For good-natured players like me, who only want to socialize and have a good time, it’s a real problem.

300: Average Joes Chase the Perfect Game

I’m no routine bowler; on the contrary, I rarely find myself in a bowling alley. When I do bowl, it’s usually because my friends and I are so bored that we resort to paying $20 to be bad at something. But for the hour or so that my friends and I hopelessly roll the ball toward those ten pins, I really, really care about what I’m doing.
