  • What I’ve Been Doing [IB/BT/GO/FB]

    Video Games: inFAMOUS – Handles a little looser than I’d like. Scratches that open world itch that LA Noire hinted at. The powers are fun, but I’m not sure yet if I’ll try and play with evil powers too. Shadows of the Damned comes out this week and that may start sapping playtime away if […]

  • Chew: Two Issues In [BT]

    With indie comics you almost never know what you’re gonna get. The premise to Chew seemed interesting, but would it be a gritty crime comic or would it be lighthearted and fun? The bizarre, quasi-cannibalistic premise allowed for it to go either way, but I think this plot point cements the tone. You see, the […]

  • Comics [BT]

    Eric’s gone and done it. His renewed enthusiasm for comics has gone and made me want to read them again. Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (Issues #141-148) – The Chameleons arc was actually really neat. Super odd to have several issues go by where Peter Parker was not Peter Parker (they even changed the colors of the […]

  • DC Revamps Harley Quinn…WTF? [BT]

    I’m not as into comic books as I once was and I was never into DC Comics, but when I saw this I felt like I had to say something about it. Above is the new, revamped look for Harley Quinn in her new book, Suicide Squad where Quinn, Deadshot, and King Shark are death […]

  • What I’ve Been Playing/Watching/Reading [GO/IB/FB/BT]

    Here’s another breakdown of the media I’ve been consuming: Video Games: I haven’t talked about these for a long while, so I’m just gonna go over recent history, post-robbery. L.A. Noire – Just beat it last night. I think that the game premise shows a lot of potential, but the true masterpiece will be any […]

  • Scott Pilgrim is an Asshole [Bookmark This]

    Seriously…SPOILERS! At the tender age of 24, I’m pretty sure I’ve still got a bit of the asshole that all kids have in their late teens/early twenties still left in me. That’s just a consequence of what it means to be young, I guess. We think we know better than the world and we’re tremendously […]

  • Scott Pilgrim [Bookmark This/Filmmakers Bleed/Game Overview]

    Scott Pilgrim mania hit its peak two weeks ago with the release of the PSN game and the movie coming just a few weeks after the sixth book made its way to stores. The book is in a really strange position for mainstream acceptance. Most people see it and think “hipster”, which isn’t at all […]

  • Boycotting Bad People [FB/BT/WMQ]

    Just last week it happened again. A high-profile celebrity revealed what a dirtbag he was in the most public way possible and it brings up the same question it always does. Am I supporting his/her ideologies by supporting their art? Am I a bad person by proxy? Back around when The Passion of the Christ […]

  • A Life Told Through Media [GO, F, BT]

    The taste of Cuban food, the smell right before a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon, the sound of disco music, the oppressive feel of summer heat, and the sight of a pink building all remind me of my childhood home. Everyone knows that the senses trigger strong memories. It’s also common sense that the media […]

  • I’m Not Mad [Bookmark This]

    Another plug for I’m Not Mad today as we enter our second major story arc. With some of the gang jobless and facing the uncertain economy, what can our heroes do other than get jobs as govvies? As Eric mentions, this arc was originally intended to be an animation before we settled on a webcomic […]
