Project Frontier: Ridiculously Awesome
Shamus Young is probably one of my favorite bloggers out there. If you don’t recognize the name, he is the guy responsible for the DM of the Rings, Spoiler Warning and many other awesome things. In addition to being a … Continue reading
Anti-progress Attitudes
You have doubtlessly already seen this drawn meme-comic already, but I will repost it for the sake of the argument. While crudely drawn (or rather crudely assembled from copy and pasted bits) it gives us an interesting commentary on the … Continue reading
Game of Thrones
If you are not watching Game of Thrones right now, you are missing out! I know what you think: it’s a fantasy series, and you know how I feel about fantasy. But you know what? This is a good one! … Continue reading
X-Men: First Class

Thor
I never really read Thor or Avenger comics so reviewing the latest batch of Marvel movies is a slightly different experience for me. While my rants about Spider Man, X-men or Daredevil were colored by my knowledge if the source … Continue reading
Re: All Word Processors Suck
Shamus Young, the guy who brought us the DM of the Rings, the Spoiler Warning Series and Stolen Pixels is currently writing a book. Like a real, dead tree novel type thing. I’m totally stoked to read it, but it … Continue reading
