Marvel Comics Endsong…

Perhaps it’s time for Marvel to consider ceasing production of its comics. I think we’ve gotten to that point.

You May Not Know…

Kylo Ren and Poe Dameron have met before… in the movie Inside Llewyn Davis, we see them along side Justin Timberlake singing a song that… ironically seems a little anti-space-travel. I haven’t seen this movie, so I don’t understand the context of the song though… Also is it just me or does it look like Kylo Ren is the only one having any fun … Read More You May Not Know…

Unpopular Opinion: Bakshi did it better!

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know how I feel about things like preaching in your story, out of context political diatribe, breaking the 4th well, inappropriately clashing reality with fantasy, and so on.

Is Skimpy Armor At All Practical?

As an avid gamer and realist who tries his best to find the medium, I’ve always wondered what the best outfits are for my characters/companions.
