There was big Internet news the other day when Marvel revealed that Robert Downey Jr. was returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe…and that he'd be playing Doctor Doom (?)
The thrill of seeing RDJ on stage sent the audience into thunderous applause of course…we all love this guy ...

As I'm writing this I'm counting down the hours to the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games 2024 which are taking place in Paris. The Olympics are the king of all sports competition, and even being able to participate requires for athletes to have been rigorously through very ...

I have a friend who's told me, on and off, about the movie/book/comic series he's working on. I noticed at one point that he had a tendency to add in more and more characters, plots, and details that were going to show up in the project ...
More than just an NPC

I recently got married and for our honeymoon, my newly anointed husband convinced me that it would be more than well spent playing Baldur's Gate 3. For a whole week, we sequestered ourselves in the study, turned off our phones, rigged out our monitors and couch co-oped our way ...
Preachy Comics

Last night I had an interesting conversation with one of my favorite creators (you know who you are) about what makes a webcomic (or comic, or movie, or book, anything applies) preachy. Preachy as in trying to force an agenda, or ideology, or outlook down the audience's throat whether ...

Character Wants - The Next Level
Banes at 12:00AM, June 27, 2024
Better Call Saul is the prequel series to Breaking Bad. Both shows are incredible, and probably my two favorite shows. The characters in these shows, especially Better Call Saul, have great nuance to them, and most of them have multiple “wants” or “needs” that are in opposition to each other ...
