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. To give the specifics I was chilling with my druid in Stormwind when I saw an entourage of level 1 warlocks begin to stack themselves in the form of letters some eight feet off the ground. All I could think was, how the f%@k are they doing that? Shortly after, I caught the letters G4 and thought to myself, "That's some creative machinima, I bet G4 is doing some … [Read more...]

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.
