All too easy…

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Steve

OK, I only got a 9/10 because I flubbed on a 50/50 proposal with the last one entailing the space shuttle Atlantis based upon the choices given. The initial nine space/starships were a breeze to identify with or without the process … Continue reading →

Game over man!

Posted on June 7, 2014 by Steve

Lego Master Builder Missing Brick (she or he should be labelled one) has a rockin’ Flickr site with the greatest kit-bashing of Aliens. Well, my Lego abilities are pretty unimpressive compared to this person. I wonder if Missing Brick uses software to … Continue reading →

Shazbot! I aced this Sci-Fi book cover quiz

Posted on May 31, 2014 by Steve

Check it out at the ever so clear Guardian link. A few were rather easy due to the covers resembling their film adaptations. I figured 9 out of 10 was my best chance. Finally got everything correct.

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Steve

Yeesh! I haven’t written a decent story covering any actual comic books in almost two years. Well I’m trying to get back on track with one of the oddest crossover mini-series to hit the shelves since Predator v. Magnus Robot Fighter. … Continue reading →

My rebuttal to an overshared picture or “selfie”

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Steve

I’m with Brian Posehn when he said last week that foodie is just a douche term, I would say it’s the same for selfie. I’m sure they’re all nice people in person but I couldn’t give two shits about the Oscars®. The … Continue reading →

Before I give a ranting endorsement I urge you to first, support your local comic book and/or game store by finding out if they do their own podcast. Not everyone can drop by every week like I can to chew … Continue reading →

Scott Bakula

Posted on November 29, 2013 by Steve

For my generation he is more famous for being Dr. Sam Beckett, the hero from Quantum Leap, a show I never saw much of but I knew its premise pretty well. Maybe I should watch that…now it’s my Netflix queue. … Continue reading →

William Shatner

Posted on November 27, 2013 by Steve

The man, the myth, the legend! Sure people ridicule him but he is laughing all the way to the bank and having the time of his life. I personally think Shatner enjoys the work, especially after he was typecast by Star … Continue reading →

Happy 50th birthday Doctor Who

Posted on November 25, 2013 by Steve

Cut my story some slack for a couple reasons: I’m exhausted from Comic Con/Wizard World Austin and the UK is six hours ahead. If anybody spoils the special for me, so help me…Nelson, I’m looking in your direction ever since BSG. … Continue reading →
