Court of the Ginger King: The Appeal of Guitar Hero

By on June 6th, 2009

Well, this is certainly odd. It seems as if the Ginger King is playing, wait for it, the Devil’s advocate? Just a few weeks ago, our ol’ Ginger bastard ticked off readers by slamming the video game juggernaut, Guitar Hero. Now, he’s digressing on how it’s, well, good? The court’s out on this one. -Michael [...]

Court of the Ginger King: The Trial of Guitar Hero

By on May 13th, 2009

You can stop rubbing those eyes. Yes, the Ginger King is back! After a two-month hibernation, the beast returns, and as usual, his temper is flaring. What’s bothering him? Oh, just a harmless little game that hardly hurt anybody. Of course, Mr. Michniak thinks otherwise. Folks, this could get ugly — but we like that [...]

Court of the Ginger King: An Open Letter on Open Mic Nights

By on February 13th, 2009

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve heard of the ol’ Ginger King, and even I was getting a lil’ worried. Good thing I’m just paranoid and the bitter guy is still around, huh? So, what’s he up to now? Aside from finishing classes, busying himself with daily irritations, and watching too many Stanley Kubrick [...]

Court of the Ginger King: Good Morning, 2009!

By on January 9th, 2009

A new year, a new Ginger King? Nope, just a new post. Don’t expect the ol’ cynical lug to turn a new leaf, he’s staying as witty and fresh as ever. And if you thought he was done with 2008, you obviously don’t know the guy. Yep, he still has some stuff to say, in [...]

Court of the Ginger King: 2008, We Hardly Knew Ye!

By on December 31st, 2008

Well, well, well… 2008 comes to a close. While the site had its year-end spectacular a couple of weeks ago, what better way to recap the whole shebang than some closing thoughts with the ol’ Ginger King himself. He may be on break, hibernating with some egg nog, but that only makes him all the [...]

Court of the Ginger King: Thanksgiving Rant

By on November 29th, 2008

Hey CoS Readers! It’s been awhile, but it looks like the Ginger King survived Thanksgiving. It’s a good thing too, because the end of the year is coming, and you know how people can be during the holidays. Some are overjoyed while others may be downright miserable. My money’s on the latter for our ol’ [...]

Court of the Ginger King: Inappropriate Music

By on November 13th, 2008

Well, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. People have been busy, the seasons are changing, and the nation’s shifting. With all such a transition, there comes some good riddance, and what better way to kick it off with some Ginger King action, eh? This week, Michniak is diving head on into the music you’re [...]

Court of the Ginger King: Music Snobs

By on October 29th, 2008

As a reader of one of the more “in depth” music sites, you kids out there are no doubt passionate about music. Music is like the opposite sex (or same sex if you go that way). Sometimes people are shallow, even petty, and judge music on its looks, images or ridiculous band names. Other times, [...]
