  • Return of the Jedi

    When the scene near the beginning in Jabba’s Palace with that extended musical performance happens, it just makes me want to cry. It’s so incredibly bad. And the lack of the Ewok song at the end is still so incredibly unsatisfying. God I hate the “special edition” changes.

  • The Empire Strikes Back

    The best thing about Empire is that of the original trilogy, it’s the one film that is the least affected by the horrible CG additions done to the “special editions.” Sure, there’s still stuff there, but at least it’s not as eye rolling as was you see in Episodes 4 and 6. And as much as…

  • The Pickle Index

    I’ve definitely been doing a lot of reading of late – which may explain why I haven’t played as much Fallout 4 as you’d expect – and one of those reads has been The Pickle Index. It’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 there’s been a few Luther Strode mini-series already, and this is apparently the final one, and the first one I’m reading. I’m still not quite sure what this story is all about, but I don’t care, because the reason I jumped in was because a friend of mine mentioned that Tradd Moore was…

  • 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,…
