After work today, I met my good friend @GentlemanMonstr for some Five Guys and a stop at Midtown Comics. As the undisputed overlord of the comic world (in my opinion), the Gentleman had something obscure in mind. For me, it was the exact opposite: Ultimate Spider-Man #160. In all honesty, it was something I wasn't looking forward... Continue Reading →
The PDF That Just Wouldn’t Die
I'm not sure how it is for you, but Photoshop projects always take longer than I expect. I have an idea and think, I can get that done in an hour tonight. But then I get in front of my computer and realize I just can't edit a part of the project the way I'd intended... Continue Reading →

Apocalypse 2011: The Chillest Apocalypse Ever?
I woke up this Apocalypse at 10:04 AM. I was not in my own bed, but not in an apocalyptic kind of way; I crashed at the "ghetto fabulous" flat of Ronin (the camera-wielding video smith of HotMop Films) and woke up on the sofa bed. The sun was shining through the window and, looking... Continue Reading →
Why the Hell Haven’t You Seen “Thor” Yet?
Okay, look--I know the answer to that question. You haven't seen Thor because you know there are two kinds of Marvel superhero movies: 1) The Iron Man Type - Funny, fun, and with a good smattering of action, these movies are clearly done by people who wanted to make an awesome movie about their favorite superhero for...

Getting Closer
I realized I have something time sensitive to say, so I have to try to belt it out before that company I just mentioned arrives. If you haven't already heard about it, you should know about the Met's Get Closer photography contest. It's not a huge deal; you photograph a piece from the permanent collection... Continue Reading →
It’s Been a While
It's been just about a month since my last post, begging the question "What the $#(*?" Well, I'll tell you what the $#(*. Life. My best friend's moving to Seattle in two weeks, an event I found out about around two weeks ago. Aside from being extremely bummed about it, my weekends have been absorbed... Continue Reading →
And Then They Dropped the Ball: The Last 5 Minutes of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Disclaimer: I know. I know. Lords of Shadow is really old news. But this isn't a review--it's a lesson. If you've already beaten LOS or haven't and don't intend to, read on. If you're even considering playing it and don't want anything spoiled, then seriously--stop reading now. Spoiler Alert. I repeat, Spoiler Alert. It's rough... Continue Reading →
Gamer Quirks
Some time last month, while chatting with a friend of mine (I don't remember who, but let's call him Ted) about our favorite games, I mentioned that one of mine was Flashback. To this Ted naturally replied: "Never heard of it." So I explained: Flashback was a PC game that was ported to consoles in... Continue Reading →
The Andrew Garfield Spider-Suit: There’s No Pleasing You, Is There?
On January 13th, everyone got their first look at Andrew Garfield in his Spidey getup. In case you missed it, here it is: I remember seeing this and thinking, Wow. My brother was right. He looks so weird. I didn't know what else to think about it, aside from It's red and blue. That's a... Continue Reading →
