  • Southern Bastards

    —

    ,

    This is one of those comic series that I missed jumping on when it launched, and then kept hearing tons of good things about it from friends, but was too lazy (or just forgot) to check it out. With the year-end “best of” lists popping up, I was reminded that I should finally get around to…

  • Head Lopper

    —

    ,

    It’s a comic about a dude with a sword who lops off heads, while carrying a talking witch’s head in a bag. It’s awesome. The art is fantastic and super dynamic. The first issue came out in September, and it’s a quarterly, and so the next issue should be out this month. Each issue is…

  • Episodes 1-3

    —

    ,

    Well, what to say, I happily watched Episodes 4-6 a few weeks ago, in preparation for the release of The Force Awakens, and the plan was to then watch 1-3, but I kinda chickened out. But having gotten all caught up on Star Wars Rebels, I wanted to watch more Star Wars stuff, and so…

  • Freedom Wars

    —

    ,

    I’d always been interested in Freedom Wars because I liked what I saw of the esthetic of the game, but not enough to pick it up – doesn’t help that I’ve tried playing stuff like God Eater, but didn’t really get into it (and I’m sure that’s because I didn’t have anyone to play with).…

  • A Very Murray Christmas

    —

    ,

    Really didn’t know what to expect from this thing, other than I was going in thinking it was one hell of a weird thing for Netflix to produce – and I’m not very Christmas-y, or into Christmas specials. But hey, I like Murray, I like weird things, and when I learned that it was directed…

  • Legend of Dungeon: Masters

    —

    ,

    The other day I got a link to this article about the Twitch integration an indie dev (Robot Loves Kitty) was using for a game called Legend of Dungeon, by way of a separate free client that you can download (from Steam), called Legend of Dungeon: Masters. I was curious, and so immediately gave it…

  • Gauntlet: Slayer Edition

    —

    ,

    This is one of the offering’s from PS+ this month, and I’d actually been quite looking forward to playing it, having heard good things – I remember one friend in particular, who’s judgement I trust, saying how much he enjoyed it. Well, it’s indeed a blast to play, feeling like what a Gauntlet game should…

  • Star Wars Rebels

    —

    ,

    As I’ve written recently, I prefer to watch shows after the season is over these days, but as I continue to get hyped for The Force Awakens (and finally bought tickets for a showing the other night) I decided to go through what’s aired so far of season 2 of Star Wars Rebels. I quite…
