Over the years I’ve collected so many of these Thanksgiving “cards” that I can never decide which to use. So I simply use them all. Happy Thanksgiving.Read More →

So, I’m trying out the brand new Age of Mythology: Retold (2024) this week to mixed success. It’s a rerelease of the original Age of Mythology with major upgrades to some of the core mechanics. Basically, it’s the same game but has some new features, mainly to catch it up to today’s technology, I think. And I’m not sure I like it. Or, maybe, I’m just having trouble getting used to the new setup. We’ll see. For literally years, Age of Mythology (2002) from Ensemble Studies & Microsoft has been my all-time favorite game to play on the computer. Seriously, bar none, this is theRead More →

While I was on vacation (hence the lack of posts recently) I found out Babylon 5 was streaming on Amazon Prime now and I immediately started binging on it. As in being on vacation but not traveling so have some time to kill and suddenly the only thing I’m doing besides eating and sleeping is watching this show type binging. You know it’s a lot easier to binge shows that only have 13 episode per season… with Babylon 5 we’re talking at least 20 episodes so it’s taking awhile. Needless to say vacation’s over and I’m still binging when I have the time. So far I’veRead More →

I recently re-watched these two animated features back to back. I realized I like them both. Which got me to thinking. a little background Both are inspired by the DC Comics crossover trilogy of story arcs from the 1990s: “The Death of Superman” is divided into a trilogy of story arcs; the first is known as “Doomsday!”, which leads to Superman’s death at the hands of Doomsday. The second story arc, “Funeral for a Friend”, which focuses on the immediate aftermath of Superman’s death, began with The Adventures of Superman #498 (January 1993). The final story arc, “Reign of the Supermen!”,  began with a prologue in The Adventures of Superman #500 andRead More →

After diving in head first and posting like mad to test out some features and plugins for the last month or so, I decided it’s time for the real blogging to begin. But first I spent some time today begining to update the About page. It is by no means finished but it’s a start in the right direction. Also just so everyone knows, my plan for now is to post 3 or 4 times a week. Usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the occasional Saturday Superhero post just for fun. Ok, sure, that doesn’t mean I won’t be posting about superheroes the rest ofRead More →

originally posted April 27, 2005 I have to say that Maili almost ruined my morning when her blog was posted on Romancing the Blog this morning because I hate the topic of reviews and kept telling myself to just ignore it because I was feeling bad to begin with. (I’ve had recurring migraines for the last week and found out yesterday it was because of a sinus infection. Now there’s an “ugh” for you.) I even told myself to just wait because someone else would dissent over there and then I wouldn’t have to. Oh, well, not happening, so I finally decided to be theRead More →

I have the complete set of six The Thin Man movies staring William Powell and Myrna Loy. They are simply perfection, individually and collectively. Periodically I will pull them out and rewatch them in order, usually a couple a night for several nights. They’re only like an hour and a half each so that’s workable.  Occasionally I will get in the mood to go right to my two favorites – Shadow of the Thin Man and Song of the Thin Man. To be honest, I couldn’t tell you which of those two is my top favorite. I enjoy them equally just for different reasons. It’sRead More →
