Husband, Dad, and lifelong fan of sci-fi, comics, and great storytelling. I’m into graphic novels, movies, TV, and anything that dives deep into imagination and character. Also a devoted Star Trek fan.
I watched He-Man on Prime and really enjoyed it. Skeletor had his trademark humor, the familiar characters were all there, and the villains seemed genuinely dangerous, just terrified of Skeletor.
Apparently he was joking with the emergency responders afterward, so I don’t feel too bad about posting this. It gave me a chuckle.
I don’t remember daycare being this fun, but I love seeing my kid get these experiences.
We built an M&M dispenser from this book using nothing but our random bin of LEGO pieces.
There’s sure a lot of opinions about Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. I was told people don’t read anymore, yet suddenly everyone’s an expert on an ancient Greek epic poem.
The $1 million dollar prize is worth only about 51% of what Richard Hatch’s prize was worth in Season 1. We finished the second to last season and I felt compelled to look up the adjusted for inflation value.
I sharpened and colorized the only known photo my family has of a relative who fought in the Civil War. He’s in there somewhere. Survived but lost an arm and leg on the same side of his body.
I’m not too far into it, but it’s already got its hooks in me. What’s surprised me is how much my decisions are a mirror of the show. I can’t bring myself to accuse the wrong crew member of being a spy just because it’s the optimal play. I already know who the spy is!
Fingers crossed he keeps it episodic, a new monster, mystery, or adventure every week. I’m really excited for this.
I preordered this bad boy. I’ll always have a soft spot for the original, even if it’s a tough watch these days. This version does a great job fleshing out the story, the characters feel true to themselves, and I even enjoyed Skeletor’s brief origin story.
I’m a few issues into Escape and it feels like Blacksad meets Memphis Belle and Inglourious Basterds. Every victory for the characters feels temporary, and that constant tension makes it hard to put down.
My parents stopped by before leaving town, and my dad somehow managed to do this to our toilet before heading out.
I played Contra for the first time in probably 35 years. I couldn’t get past the first area, and believe me, I tried.
