  • The Empire Strikes Back

    The best thing about Empire is that of the original trilogy, itā€™s the one film that is the least affected by the horrible CG additions done to theĀ ā€œspecial editions.ā€ Sure, thereā€™s still stuff there, but at least itā€™s not as eye rolling as was you see in Episodes 4 and 6. And as much as…

  • The Pickle Index

    Iā€™ve definitely been doing a lot of reading of late – which may explain why I havenā€™t played as much Fallout 4 as youā€™d expect – and one of those reads has been The Pickle Index. Itā€™s a project that can be taken in through 3 formats (deluxe book, paperback, or app) and although they…

  • The Legacy of Luther Strode

    I guess thereā€™s been a few Luther Strode mini-series already, and this is apparently the final one, and the first one Iā€™m reading. Iā€™m still not quite sure what this story is all about, but I donā€™t care, because the reason I jumped in was because a friend of mine mentioned that Tradd Moore was…

    This is a graphic novel Iā€™ve been meaning to read for what feels like forever, and I finally got around to it today, and wow. I canā€™t begin to describe how much I enjoyed this, and how much I was so completely sucked in, with the 300 pages just flying by. In a way, itā€™s…

  • Fallout 4

    Like the rest of the planet, Iā€™m playing Fallout 4. After an initial big night of play of 4-5 straight hours, Iā€™ve decided to take it easy, and just do 1-2 hour sessions every once in a while. I want to slowly savor it, but at the same time, I find that itā€™s a pretty…

  • The Walking Dead: Season 2

    I used to play all of the Telltale games, but finally got to a point where I was burnt out on them – it even happened before, and then I felt a spurt of interest when Game of Thrones and Tales of the Borderlands launched, but after playing through the first episode of each, even…

  • Cibele

    I really quite enjoyed playing through this. Itā€™s a game, yes, but itā€™s probably best if you think of it more as a piece of interactive narration, as you are not really left to do any decision-making, simply progressing through the story – which does involve playing through a few MMO-like encounters, but the point…

  • Undertale

    With everyone going on about how this is apparently the second coming in the form of a game, I figured I had to jump in. Iā€™ve put in a couple of hours, and I do really like the fantastic dialogue and characterizations, but man, theĀ ā€œcombatā€ system (I put this in quotes because Iā€™m playing the…

  • The Room

    So for quite a few years now, I’ve had a hard time getting through novels. I of course read tons, but it’s all on web, magazines, and comics. I’m better at reading non-fiction, but I recently tried to get recommendations for some fantastic non-genre, fairly recent novels (literature/fiction) that I could sink my teeth in,…

  • Marvel Star Wars Comics

    Iā€™ve been enjoying pretty much all of the Star Wars comics from Marvel since they launched earlier this year – the recent Lando mini-series was especially good – and with all of the excitement for the upcoming release of The Force Awakens, I decided to read the only two series from the Marvel books I…
