TERRY’S PICK: Downloadable gaming goodness
If you think video games only come in disc form, you’re missing out on some great fun. Downloadable games and content are an extremely underrated, and in some instances, neglected area of gaming. This week is a great example. “Leviathan,” the first story-driven single-player DLC for “Mass Effect 3” was released and it helps extend…

TERRY’S PICK: ‘Hard Knocks: Training camp with the Miami Dolphins’
If you’re a football fanatic (and if you’re a U.S.-born male, it’s pretty much a requirement), the series “Hard Knocks” (8 p.m. Tuesday) was made for you.

TERRY’S PICK: ‘Political Animals’
At first glance USA Network’s “Political Animals” appears to be a Hollywood-styled Clinton family biography.

MEDIA BUZZ: Why isn’t there a local sports talk radio station?
Why can’t I listen to Dan Patrick or any of the ESPN guys in Colorado Springs? Why doesn’t our city have a dedicated sports talk radio station? These are the most common questions I get in my email inbox and they’re fair ones to ask. To find out why I can’t hear the latest Patrick…

TERRY’S PICK: “The Bachelor Pad”
While I freely admit to getting a kick out the goofy George Lopez hosted show “Take Me Out,” the “Bachelor Pad” is easily the most despicably fun reality dating show of the summer. And I mean that in the best way possible. This “Bachelor” spin off, which started its third season July 23, mixes bachelors…

TERRY’S PICK: Summer Olympics opening ceremonies
Ever since the 1984 games in Los Angeles, I have been enamored with the summer Olympics and with the opening ceremony in particular. Can the London opening possibly match the complexity and grandeur of the Beijing games of four years ago? I’ll be tuning in tonight to see how Academy Award-winner and ceremony Artistic Director Danny…
