Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer
I only know two things about this. 1) Everyone seems to be really excited about it. 2) It looks fan-fucking-tastic!
Asus Transformer
For Christmas I bought myself an Asus laptop. It was cheap, dependable, exactly what I needed for writing. It was about fourteen inches, so it was big enough to get a good bit on the screen, was quick with 4 GB of ram, and had tons of space. I just traded it in though, so that’s not what I’m writing about. It wasn’t that it was a bad laptop, it just wasn’t what I had in mind. For years, I’ve either written on our desktop PC or my netbook. The netbook has finally worn itself out and I really wanted something that was just as portable but quicker. The Asus I bought was right at $300 and I really thought it would meet that. The moment I opened it up though, I knew it was a problem. First, the keyboard sounded hollow. I know, stupid complaint, but that speaks a…
Star Wars
Cracked has a pretty great post (because there are two people in the world, those that like Star Wars and those that like Star Trek, and I’m the former) about why Star Wars is better that Star Trek. What I didn’t realize until I read it, and I have to kinda apologize for this, is that J.J. Abrams did essentially make the Star Trek movies into Star Wars. That’ probably why I was alright with them and so confused by the plethora of hatred that was directed toward them. Before I dive into this, they definitely have their problems. The first one was ridiculously forgettable (I know Vulcan gets blown the fuck up and there’s the whole time thing, but that’s all I got) and Khan’s “surprise” visit annoyed me as much as everyone else, but they were fun. I like the whole time displacement that has given them a reason…
Sorcerer Rising is Now On Kobo and Nook
Just to let everyone know, Sorcerer Rising is now available on Kobo and Nook. If you haven’t checked it out and maybe were waiting for it to come out on your preferred device, head on over. If you’re waiting for it to come out on Apple…the best thing I can tell you is to get one of the above retailer’s apps. Sorry.
The Walking Dead is Back
Our Holiday Hiatus is over and the Walking Dead is back! Tonight’s episode was a decent example of what the Walking Dead does really well, that slow burn type stuff, where we take a quick break to let the characters simmer on all that’s been going on. Rick looks like a Walker all by himself and spends most of the episode unconscious. Carl was the majority of the episode and spent most of his time trying to prove he didn’t need his dad. The kid is one of those characters the fans seem to hate, yet he never really got on my nerves. Lori and Andrea, possibly two of the most hated characters in television during their run, had a tendency to do stuff that was out of character. This wasn’t the actresses fault by any means, it was bad writing and I’ve already written about that before. Actually…I wrote…
