Ditto. I refer you to General Dopeness’ review of his first day of attending Phoenix comic-con. Although the day he references was technically my second day, all three of us Burros [myself, Josh and Chris] all felt the same disassociation with the overall atmosphere if the eventful “nerd gathering.” Phoenix Comic-con is the first con i’ve attended in, I would …
Heart of Dorkness: Day Two
[avatar user=”General Dopeness” size=”original” align=”left” /] Phoenix Comicon, day 2 After a strange first day at the 2014 comicon, I wasn’t really sure what to expect on day two. Day two began immediately differently than the first day, because unlike day one, I actually ate breakfast. This made such an intense difference. Not just breakfast, but a legitimate balanced …

Heart of Dorkness: Day One
[avatar user=”General Dopeness” size=”original” align=”center” /] Phoenix Comicon, day 1. I stepped into a world I have no experience in. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to comic book conventions before. I have not however, been to a “Comicon!!” before. The conventions that I’ve been to were usually held in one large convention hall, not three massive multi-story buildings. …

Live Action Role Play

Most stars bitch and tire after say the second film in a three part commitment but this guy has given us six, count them six, movies with him as wolverine. And never have we had a contract dispute or words from camp that he wants an uber raise …
The Power of Words
I love the Dresden Files series of books. The series, written by Jim Butcher, is about a wizard who works as a private investigator in Chicago. You heard that right, wizard detective. As you can imagine, its an awesome mix of hard boiled noir mixed with magic and mythology. Butcher borrows from every known mythos in his 15 book run …
Rupel Reviews: Legends of Oz
Legends of Oz has to be one of the worst family movies to come out to theaters this decade. I’m not that hurt though, I may be a huge fan of the Oz books but from the beginning I knew this movie would be a piece of swear but I never expected it to be this bad though. Just take …
Irreconcilable differences
Marvel and DC comics should just split media like kids in a custody battle. When it comes to adapting their respective comic book franchises, each company has it’s strengths and weaknesses. Each company is kind of like a parent and different types of media are like different children. Some parents are just gonna be better for certain kids. Marvel is …

Our Secret Shame
America has decided it’s not fat enough. Fast food is bad for you. Any medical professional with tell you this. They’ve made documentaries about this. A LOT of them. Yet we keep shoveling it down because it’s cheap, often tastes well, and like the title implies, it’s fast. We devour tons upon tons of this ghastly culinary melange every …
