Wonder Woman: Must See
It’s about time they got DC’s third longest-running character on the big screen. I readily admit, doing Wonder Woman well has always been a challenge. Unlike Batman and Superman, this character has undergone several major reboots in her comic book. Originally, Diana shows … Continue reading
Mwah ha ha! Thanks Jones Soda
The good news…Jones Soda can be found at the local HEBs again. Not in four packs but by the bottle for about a buck each. The bad news…still offering bad advice! Seriously, I’m a rather vivid, part-loud character. I doubt … Continue reading
Colossal: Worth Seeing
This was a great new take on the kaiju genre, although in my limited knowledge, I’m sure the premise Colossal uses has been done before. I just never saw it in the hours of Ultraman, Johnny Sokko (sic), Spectreman, etc. The premise? It’s shown … Continue reading
Video game challenge for the Summer of 2017, part two
Part two! These games were actually harder but still fun. Kept it to five like last so here we go with the next batch! Commando: I mistook this game for another one that focused on being a soldier taking on a … Continue reading
Let’s hear it for Wonder Woman
Technically, Diana’s 75th birthday was last year because her comic book debut was 1941 but let’s just say it took a while for comics to get distributed plus DC is doing all the cool stuff this June. She’s also a … Continue reading
The work cat got “retired”
Ran into the guy in charge of my work’s landscaping, mentioned how I haven’t seen “Gypsy” lately. He told me she was removed from the grounds because she was getting too comfortable around people. I guess this made her less … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Nemo
Our cat Nemo is celebrating his 15th birthday (75 for a human). It’s rather odd to have him be the oldest cat. It feels like yesterday when he was the youngest in 2002. Nemo is the only cat we’ve shared … Continue reading

New, customized minis via Hero Forge, round two – NPCs
As promised, here are the other three miniatures I had done via Hero Forge in the better, $30/each plastics. Ehecatl, a half-dragon (gold) sorcerer made by one of my first 3E players (Jerry). He will live on as a friendly … Continue reading
The Ice Pirates on Blu-Ray
This little-known comedy starring Robert Urich (there’s a memorable name) was something I must’ve seen a dozen times on cable because Showtime and HBO played it to death in 1985. Then Waterloo Records had it on Blu-Ray like Night of the … Continue reading
Had to give up the “ghost” on this one
Before I couldn’t get it to roll up any further or hold together, this puppy was 8 feet wide and about 15 feet long. It wasn’t a complete loss. I managed to save the corners where the castle’s towers reside. … Continue reading
Video game challenge for the Summer of 2017, part one
Now that I’ve appeased my push-game addiction into landing a PS4 (special bundle with Destiny), I got back into the pinball groove. However, the newer Pinballz has a whole section dedicated to video games, many from the early Eighties which would’ve … Continue reading
Instant D&D towns and cities!
Just go to this site, pick from small/large town or small/large city, boom! A quick layout with some guidelines on what’s where. One caveat, every location is walled in with a castle. However, as a DM in need of stuff … Continue reading

Happy 40th Birthday Star Wars
What else can I say? The movie changed so much and I don’t have much time today, maybe later this weekend.
Undercover on Rainey Street
In Archer’s case, he’s got something stronger than watered-down Alamo (aka Lone Star) Beer in his hand.
