Commentary for the new Twilight Trailer :p
So here’s the trailer for ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 2’. I saw this trailer at the movie theaters the other day and just had to comment on it…
0:10 - “After 18 years of being ordinary” you say? Yes, you were ordinary and still are! Because you have an ordinary and boring personality! Gaining super-powers and slurping blood is not gonna change...
Anonymous asked: So I've started reading Marvel comics a few months ago. I've been picking up some Spider-Man books, Thor and Daredevil. I guess my question is, should I worry about big events like AvX coming in and making my comics more confusing, more expensive and less fun?

Deadpool & the Faux-Geeks Strike Again!
As if to confirm my article about how Deadpool attracts Faux-Geeks, the other day something happened while I visited a friend who works at Astro Books, the place where I buy my comics.
This teenager walked in with his mother and started looking around. He completely ignored the wall filled with awesome comics of all sorts, he ignored the mangas, the books… Instead, he went to check the...

Castlevania's Candlesticks
Wouldn’t it be funny if every time Simon Belmont destroys a candlestick, the room went a little bit darker? Unlike most creatures in the castle, Simon can’t see in the dark.
Also, I can almost imagine Dracula ordering his underlings to light up the castle out of a sense of fair play and his underlings doing so while grumbling. And then Dracula adds after some consideration (and...

Why I Love 'Game of Thrones' so Much!
After the season 2 of ‘Game of Thrones’ ended, I felt an emptiness inside me right away. No more ‘Game of Thrones’ until next year.
And since then I’ve pondered why I’ll miss that show so much. Certainly there are other good stories out there to be seen, other Fantasy adventures to rejoice upon. And then I realized it. The characters in ‘Game of...

Stuff that I need to get off my chest about...
How can I put this… From a purely logical perspective, I have nothing against the character. But when it comes down to it, I just HATE Deadpool, and yet it’s not exactly the character’s fault.
It wasn’t always the case though. As a teenager I used to think his stories were pretty neat and funny and he was a different sort of character. But since he appeared in the...

Stuff that I need to get off my chest about...
I’m sorry but Wonder Woman was not a role model for young girls and women when first created. I know it’s a taboo thing to say amongst comic-book enthusiasts but she was a really, really bad character and it was painfully obvious that the comic was written by a sexist man (believing himself to be non-sexist apparently) who was into domination. She reinforced stereotypes and was...

Unfortunate Role-Play Misunderstandings!
It’s amazing how often things related to role-playing games get confused by people who don’t know what role-players are talking about. And by confused, I mean that they jump to naughty conclusions! Here are two actual anecdotes that happened to me. I’ll open each with the quote and follow it with an explanation.
