News and Review Archive
Here at Studio Splurd, we like to speak our mind. We rant, rave, review, report, bitch, moan, complain, critique, comment, reflect, theorize and philosophize. We've been doing this since 2002, and have no intention of stopping. We rather enjoy our free speech.
Below is an archive of our longer essays since July 2004. You can read our other more miscellaneous commentary in the Splurd quips list. For even older rants, take a look at our ancient newsposts archive.
