Fantasy comics sure are easy to come by these days. Over the last few years comic books and graphic novels have flooded the market from all angles. And with this surge we've watched plenty of comic book characters translated into big screen super heroes as well as humble anti-heroes in a few television mini-series. Everyone knows about the TV shows and blockbuster movie hits. But what about the comic books? Do good comics still exist? You can bet Crom's ass they do. I've always followed … [Read more...]

A picture speaks a thousand words, so I'll only write a few. I took these screenshots yesterday while playing World of Warcraft.

Recently, I ventured out on a 3,200-mile round-trip expedition to Dallas, TX for a tech meeting. Typically, a trip a like this is not a big deal for me. I've worked all over the United States several times over, and have grown quite numb to the pains and anxieties a non-seasoned traveler might experience. That said, I was presented with a dilemma I had not experienced for quite some time. It seemed nearly all flights from the Family Guy home state of Rhode Island, which is where I currently … [Read more...]
