While not, of course, as cool as the Yoda vs. Dooku fight, still a fun lightsaber video to watch. This one is a followup to their first lightsaber fight, though nothing has carried over from the first one.
Comic Snap Reviews 3-13-7
Sorry this is late, but I wanted to have a chance to read the big comic from this week before I did my reviews. I may go back and add some more of the stuff I read last week, there was a bumper crop of comics. And there was also a bumper crop of huge, […]
A Bucket of Bolts Mailbox
Thanks to Jami over at his blog AZM for posting this one; I just couldn’t pass up posting it. Apparently the USPS is celebrating Star Wars’ 30th anniversary by unleashing a mob of R2-D2 mailboxes, which if nothing else look pretty darn interesting. “There are 80-something postal districts around the country, most of which are getting four of the […]
Tie One On: A Review
The Big Picture: Tie One On (by Parker Brothers) is a word guessing game not unlike Taboo or 25 Words Or Less in which the reader has to get their partner to guess the words or phrases written on his/her card, without actually saying the words. Now I know what you’re thinking: “Oh no, another […]
Inq. of the Week: Sparta!
Last week we decided to test another actor vs. self poll, between Saruman the White, Dracula, and Count Dooku. Out of 30 votes, it looks like 40% of you chose Saruman, 40% chose Dracula, with the remaining piddly 20% going to Dooku. I have to agree, while some readers questioned the abilities and frailties of good old fellow Dracul, […]

Emergent Properties, 10:1 Rule, and Brute Force
A really good way came to me to explain what emergent properties are. You know when you write something, like a story or a poem, and someone says “Oh, I really like the subtext about such and such.” And you think about it, and yeah, there is subtext about such and such, but you didn’t […]
"The City is Afraid of Me."
Thanks to TheMainEvent, who showed me this excellent news. Apparently in a trailer for 300 (which I’ll be seeing tonight around 8:15) there is a hidden image of some importance. The image appears at 1 minute 52 seconds (3:38 in reverse time) into the youtube uncut and extended trailer. Yep, that’s right! It’s pretty much […]
We're Back!
Welcome everyone! We greatly apologise for being down from approximately 6pm yesterday until around 2:30pm today, but rest assured we’re back up and running perfectly fine now! If you notice anything isn’t working how it should be or something’s missing, please let us know here. I’ll leave the explaining of the story and exactly what […]
In the Grim Darkness of the Ninjal3wt There is only Pwnage
Via Penny-Arcade, it has been announced that Warhammer 40k is going to be developed into an MMORPG. This only makes sense. When the Warhammer Fantasy MMORPG was announced, I couldn’t help but ask “why?” The fantasy market of MMORPGs has, to put it lightly, been done to death. While The O has made some points […]
