In this week’s Georgia Straight is my latest “Trigger Happy” column, which this week is about the Web site Maid Marian.

The site was created and is managed by Gene Endrody, former Radical employee, and he makes a nice living off of an advertising-based model of providing free MMORPG games for people to play.

Get the details here.

Also in this week’s column are my reviews of Warhawk and Sonic Rush Adventures.

My interview with Joe Miller, senior vice president of consumer sales and affiliate marketing for TiVo, runs in this week’s Georgia Straight.

“Our employees have no other business but to make the best possible DVR on the planet, and that’s what we’re good at. We take that responsibility seriously,” Miller told me.

My latest “Remote View” column at CinemaSpy.ca takes a look at three new series in which geeks are the protagonists.

The Big Bang Theory features science nerds, Reaper is about the coming of age of slackers, and Chuck is about gadget geeks.

This is crazy. As an inflight ad – and an external viral Web campaign – Emirates Airline brings us Nonstop Fernando.

In the video, Fernando talks to a camera for 14 hours, 40 minutes, the length of the nonstop flight from Dubai to Sao Paulo, Brasil, which happens to be the new offering from Emirates.

He doesn’t just ramble, either, he actually talks about Sao Paulo, and Brasil, ranging from history to culture to people he knows.

There don’t appear to be any cuts or edits in the video, which means that Fernando really talked to the camera – to us – for nearly fifteen hours straight.

The Web site allows you to step in to the video at any point, and the video streams on the airplane during the entire flight.

No passengers have yet matched Fernando’s stamina.

This week’s edition of the Georgia Straight includes my latest “Trigger Happy” column: reviews of five video games that are based on blockbuster films of the summer.

Check out my reviews of Surf’s Up, 300: March to Glory, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Transformers: The Game, and Shrek the Third.
