I Guess You Can Kill the Boogeyman After All

Posted on October 16, 2022 by Nathan

I have three movie reviews this time, all of fairly new films, although that wasn’t really intentional. Two are relevant to the Halloween season and one not, and it should probably go without saying that there are SPOILERS for all … Continue reading →

Bradys and Gentlemen

Posted on March 2, 2021 by Nathan

Beth has now shown me all five seasons of The Brady Bunch. She says she started watching it to goof on it, then found that she genuinely liked it. It can be pretty corny, but I think there’s a sweetness … Continue reading →

Do You Want to Kill a Snowman?

Posted on February 17, 2021 by Nathan

I had been wanting to write something about snowman characters in video games, with one that immediately came to mind being Rusty the Snowman in Earthworm Jim, who breathes fireballs. Sounds like he’s as self-destructive as the They Might Be … Continue reading →

Don’t Toy with Me

Posted on May 8, 2020 by Nathan

The Toys That Made Us – We’d started watching this Netflix series some time ago, back when it only had two seasons, but the third one premiered before we’d finished the other two. Each season has four episodes, so there … Continue reading →

Continuity Begins at Home

Posted on September 7, 2018 by Nathan

One thing I’ve noticed about continuity is how many people don’t really care about it. Another is that people who DO care tend to care a LOT. There was a panel at OzCon, in which I was one of the … Continue reading →

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection, Volume 1, by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird – I picked up a digital copy of this from Comixology when they were having a sale, and I kind of wish I’d bought other … Continue reading →

They’ll Need a Krang

Posted on July 29, 2016 by Nathan

I’ve been led to understand that the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie features appearances from several characters introduced in the 1987 cartoon series, including Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang. I’ll probably watch it at some point, but I can’t say … Continue reading →

The Usagi Yojimbo Saga, Book 1, by Stan Sakai – It can be confusing to decide which volume of a comic to pick up first, since the numbering tends to become odd after a while. While this is Book 1, … Continue reading →

Hey, Let’s Do the Limbo Rock

Posted on March 19, 2015 by Nathan

There’s something I’ve always liked about the word “Limbo,” which has entered into popular usage as meaning a state where nothing can happen until certain conditions are met. It comes from the Latin limbus, meaning an edge or border. The … Continue reading →

Let’s Get Warty!

Posted on March 11, 2015 by Nathan

I’m sure I’ve written about Battletoads before, probably in relation to its difficulty level. It’s not a long game, but it’s hard, particularly when you’re stuck piloting one of its several vehicles. It was really quite innovative, providing multiple modes … Continue reading →
