  • This One Summer

    This is a graphic novel I’ve been meaning to read for what feels like forever, and I finally got around to it today, and wow. I can’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, it’s…

  • Fallout 4

    Like the rest of the planet, I’m playing Fallout 4. After an initial big night of play of 4-5 straight hours, I’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 it’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. It’s a game, yes, but it’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. I’ve put in a couple of hours, and I do really like the fantastic dialogue and characterizations, but man, the “combat” system (I put this in quotes because I’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

    I’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…

  • Ant-Man

    This movie had no right to be as good as I thought it was – considering all the changes that happened behind-the-scenes during the making of it. But yes, not only was this a hell of a fun ride, I think it’s my favorite Marvel movie since the first Iron Man. I watch all of…

  • Ash vs Evil Dead

    I love Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness so damn much, and I was beyond excited at the idea of getting a TV series that follows that, with good ol’ Bruce as Ash, and Sam Raimi on board as well (and even directing the pilot). The first episode was pretty much everything I was…

  • Spectre

    I know Spectre has gotten some fairly negative reviews, and I absolutely disagree with them. It’s no secret that I’m a huge Bond fanatic – I’ve owned the entire series on VHS, DVD, and now Blu-ray – and to me, even more than Skyfall, this felt like a true celebration of “Bond,” and one that would…
