Let’s be upfront, here. I love LEGO. 🙂 I also love the LEGO video games. Though I haven’t played LEGO Batman, so I don’t know if that’s good or if it’s crap. That’s okay, though. It looks like Travelers Tales, the development studio behind such hits as LEGO Star Wars, is looking to develop moreContinue reading “On New LEGO Games”

On Ari Fleischer’s Revisionism
Years ago, when I read The Dark Knight Strikes Again, there was a line near the end of the third issue where George Bush’s Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer says “The President doesn’t have to say dick to you media pansies.” As satirical as Frank Miller’s story was, Miller hit really close to the mark; theContinue reading “On Ari Fleischer’s Revisionism”
On Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown
Okay, this is too weird. If Frank Miller drew Peanuts, what would it look like? Someone actually imagined this. Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown.
On Why I Hate Daylight Savings Time
Dear Daylight Savings Time, Please go away. I want Standard Time back. I want Standard Time back now. You have wrecked my sleep schedule. I can’t get up in the mornings with Standard Time. I definitely can’t get up with you. Yes, I like that it’s daylight when I leave the office. That’s nice. But,Continue reading “On Why I Hate Daylight Savings Time”
On Nathan Fillion’s New Series
I watched the premiere of Castle on ABC last night. It’s a series starring Firefly‘s Nathan Fillion as a best-selling mystery novelist. When some bodies turn up in New York City, killed using the methods he wrote about in some of his earlier novels, the NYPD turns to him as a consultant. It was goofy.Continue reading “On Nathan Fillion’s New Series”

On the Weekly Elbow Update
A month ago I found out about Elbow’s Abbey Road concert with the BBC orchestra in which they played the entirety of The Seldom Seen Kid, their Mercury Award-winning fourth studio album. Not being a UK resident, I couldn’t see it, but they were releasing a CD/DVD set of the concert direct through their website.Continue reading “On the Weekly Elbow Update”
On Friday’s Philosophy Moment
“What am I doing here, miles from home? I’m following my dreams, living every day as if it’s my last. “One day I’ll have regrets… but it’s far better to regret something you’ve done, than something you never did.” — Martha Jones, Doctor Who: The Whispering Gallery You know how there’s a publisher that’sContinue reading “On Friday’s Philosophy Moment”
On The Beatles: Rock Band
I’m such a nerd. I want this. I want this so bad. The Beatles: Rock Band. There’s nothing there yet to see at that website, just an image of the inside of Abbey Road Studios. So what is it? It’s a video game. Coming on September 9th, 2009. (Note to self: Look in The CompleteContinue reading “On The Beatles: Rock Band”
