  • What I’ve Been Doing 7 May 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Readership assemble! Min and I made the great sacrifice of seeing The Avengers for you. Our verdict? It’s excellent. Go see it, y’all. Seriously. Movies The Avengers – It does precisely what I thought was impossible by focusing on each individual character for a bit and giving them all arcs. Granted, most of the groundwork […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 19 Sept 2011 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    It may look like I’m insulting Gears, but I’m really not. That’s legitimately the closest those guys come to eloquence most games. They’re fantastic games, but their stories are fundamentally idiotic. Movies Thor – I’m pretty sure that complaining about blatant product placement in a movie was last interesting five years ago, but I found […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 8 Aug 2011 [FB/IB/BT/GO]

    Movies Horrible Bosses – Part of me thought it was hilarious and part of me thought it was passable. There were some really strange story beats in this no doubt because this wasn’t the dark comedy it was advertised to be. I dunno what the proper word for it would be…dim comedy? Without implying that […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 1 Aug 2011 [FB/IB/BT/GO]

    Otakon was this weekend, but my stolen camera prevented me from photographing any of the cosplay. The example above was taken by Eric. This week was comic book heavy. There was a huge sale at Eric’s shop that I took advantage of along with some Amazon orders to finish off small runs of series I […]

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

    San Diego Comic-Con is upon us and for once I actually read comics. I’m excited to learn about Marvel’s new December event, but, in the meantime, here’s what I’ve been up to. Movies: Out of Sight – Steven Soderbergh’s Elmore Leonard adaptation was a pretty solid flick and about the only thing I’ve ever seen […]

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

    Tomorrow night’s the All-Star Game, but my coverage might be a little different than usual. I plan on watching it with friends, so there may not be a liveblog, but I will cover it in the morning. In the meanwhile, here’s what I’ve been up to. Music: Rx Bandits – Saw the Bandits down at […]

  • Who Will Be The Next Spider-Man? [BT]

    So…uh…yeah. (Ultimate) Peter Parker is dead. 160 issues, just under 11 years, and tons of stories later he is no more. Next month we’ll probably get his funeral with Ultimate Comics Fallout, which may go for a few issues, I don’t know, because there’s no set launch date for Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (yes, they’re going […]

  • 3-Minute Expert [ER]

    Think you know about the Skrulls? Me neither. Comic Vine, a sister site to Giant Bomb, has this great 3-Minute Expert series that teaches you all you need to know about a comic book topic in…3 minutes.

  • Summer of Arcade, 1 G$ in Losses, Twisted Shadows, and More![Game Overview]

    Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. There’s been a lot of news this week, so let’s get right down to it. The Xbox Live Summer of Arcade schedule has been announced and it looks like there are some great games coming […]

  • Filmmakers Bleed: Iron Man

    It was back in 2002 that Spider-Man paved the way for the new wave of comic book movies and, aside from a few Marvel mistakes (Hulk, Daredevil, Ghostrider), the genre has been continually evolving and, surprisingly, getting better. This past Friday saw the release of Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr., and I’m happy to […]
