		<description><![CDATA[Most role-playing games are about players playing characters who are heroes doing heroic acts.  Even if they are not doing heroic things, these characters are generally somewhat extraordinary and are often, at worst, anti-heroes.  This only makes sense as stories about ordinary people doing ordinary things are, almost by definition, boring.  Nonetheless there are hundreds of slice-of-life style movies which prove that even ordinary people can get involved in extraordinary or at least extraordinarily interesting stories. Fiasco is designed to tell these types of stories in a role-playing game format.  Because the characters in these stories are less important than the situations they find themselves in, Fiasco revolves entirely around the relationships between characters rather than those characters’ abilities.  In fact, players don’t create characters until after these relationships are established.  Each character has a relationship with the character of the player to his left and to his right and a character’s personality and abilities are defined more by these relationships than anything else.  Character creation boils down to giving a name and a descriptive phrase that fits the personality suggested by these relationships to the character.  In fact, having a character concept in mind before these relationships are established is pointless. These relationships are defined by the group through a rather ingenious method.  Each Fiasco game begins with the group (or perhaps the person who happens to have one available) selecting a play set.  These play sets are short descriptions of the sort of scenario the players can expect....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the days after Serpentfall, a handful of Marines &#8211; the last of their once mighty unit &#8211; are shipwrecked on Kaijushima&#8230; a place you might know better as Monster Island. Wreathed in mist and veiled in mystery, Monster Island was bad enough during the BIG ONE, when it held cannibal soldiers sworn to kill and die for Hirohito, and savage tribes who worshiped Golyeong, the MIGHTY &#8220;gorilla ghost.&#8221; After the Serpentfall, who knows what TREMENDOUS horrors might be RISING UP in Monster Island&#8217;s jungles, awakened from the prehistoric past? Ship-wrecked on Monster Island is an actual play recording made at Fear the Con 4.  Players include Comedy Rockstar Mikey Mason, Funnybooks&#8217; Paul, Thistledown AP&#8217;s  John, Josh, Nathan and James. The game uses the Day After Ragnarok setting expansion from Serpent Scales #3: Return to Monster Island. Day After Ragnarok is set in a world where the allies never won World War II. Instead, Patton dies before the Battle of the Bulge assassinated in Otto Skorzeny’s Operation Walküre. The Nazis, emboldened by this development that they believe signals the new Twilight, are successful in their endeavor to access the arcane powers of the Norse Gods. They summon up Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent. The end times dawn in 1945. The Yanks strike back at the world encircling serpent with a nuke – killing Jormungandr, but also ending the world as we know it. The giant snake’s massive body crashes across continents, destroying cities and nations… Magic and monsters enter the world.....]]></description>

The game uses the Day After Ragnarok setting expansion from Serpent Scales #3: Return to Monster Island (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=81770affiliate_id=302545 ).
Day After Ragnarok (https://www.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=62543affiliate_id=302545 ) is set in a world where the allies never won World War II. Instead, Patton dies before the Battle of the Bulge assassinated in Otto Skorzeny’s Operation Walküre. The Nazis, emboldened by this development that they believe signals the new Twilight, are successful in their endeavor to access the arcane powers of the Norse Gods. They summon up Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent.

The end times dawn in 1945.

The Yanks strike back at the world encircling serpent with a nuke – killing Jormungandr, but also ending the world as we know it. The giant snake’s massive body crashes across continents, destroying cities and nations… Magic and monsters enter the world.

And our heroes are ship-wrecked on Monster Island.

Day After Ragnarok is a Savage Worlds setting from Atomic Overmind Press. (http://atomicovermind.com/main/)</itunes:summary>

Heal yourself now. Put all your power into it. I&#8217;ll help you.&#8221; The Mongoose stared blankly at her for a long moment, then slowly nodded. Closing his eyes, he attempted to block out the sounds of battle and the smells of decay and death, focusing on his own familiar healing powers. Attuned to his efforts, Casey felt him dig, deep down into his center, that core of strength that got him through his early changes, that had kept him sane in the Goblin King&#8217;s dungeons. He plumbed those depths of his core knowing that they were depleted, empty. Not a drop left in the well. Dry as a bone it was. Only dust and ashes there. Dust. Ashes. And a heaping dollop of despair. &#8230;wait&#8230; Something? A flash of spring air, an overwhelming sense of renewal&#8230; Deeply, he drew of that strength and at once was keenly aware of the terrible thing feeding upon him. Black and corrupt, a thing of diabolical intent using his life force to power its own wicked ends. Alone, he wouldn’t have stood a chance against this thing, but with Casey&#8217;s assistance&#8230; He sensed her — truly sensed her &#8211; for the first time. He breathed in her scent much like sniffing a fragrant rose. His eyes widened,....]]></description>

Sad thing, though?  We&#8217;ve never had Raven on the show.  We&#8217;ve only really been able to do interviews via e-mail due to his busy calendar.  Well&#8230;until now. Raven and Paul get on the mic to discuss all of his latest goodies, including Fly, Theater, and Alice in Wonderland, the much anticipated prequel to his hugely successful Return to Wonderland trilogy.  Not only that, we get some exclusive news on The Waking 2, a sequel to a book that Raven never intended there to be a sequel to.  Plus, we chat about rum, and Raven realizes you can drop the f-bomb on our podcast about halfway into the interview. Check it out!]]></description>

Casey, if you can do it safely, please try to keep a mental lock on each of us so you can warn us if anyone gets into trouble.&#8221; It only took a moment for Casey to establish very passive links among the group. It was rather like monitoring more than one radio station: it would be easy to lose focus on what she was doing. She let the connections hum quietly in the background, sparing them only enough attention to catch any twangs of alarm or surprise. Alsyne started across the lawn more cautiously than the impatient warriors, her sword at the ready. Casey fell in beside her. Pip tossed a nod to Wynne, who answered it with a nod herself. She disappeared into the trees. The satyr rushed up between Alseyne and Casey, brandishing his polearm. &#8220;Ass-whompin&#8217; time, ladies&#8230;&#8221; Alseyne kept her watchful pace. “Fools rush &#8211;&#8221; BLAM! BLAM! Two shots rang out from the darkened porch of the house beyond. Yggthor, in the lead, appeared to be drawing the fire. The first bullet rang off the blade of his axe.

You&#039;re likely familiar with our love of comic books, Star Trek, role playing games, video games, horror films, TV and talking monkeys. but one of the things that I geek pretty hard on is Christmas and the music of the season.
Before Paul and I started Funnybooks (http://ideologyofmadness.spookyouthouse.com/archives/category/columns/funny-books-with-aron-paulie), I was on another podcast.
My buddy Mark Pope (http://markandrewpope.com) is a composer and musician as well as a choral music director. You&#039;re likely familiar with a litle of his music. He wrote the Funnybooks theme music.
Several years ago we started up a podcast to spotlight an album of his original music, FOR YOU ALONE (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/markandrewpope) ... I saw it as the Director&#039;s Commentary to his CD
Since Mark&#039;s last name is Pope, I wanted to call it the PopeCast to link into the Roman Catholic demographic, but some Vatican types were already using that moniker. So we settled on calling it The Mark Andrew PopeCast.
Mark and I geek pretty hard on church stuff. We both got a huge kick out of chatting about liturgy, scripture, and the business of growing a church. As such, our podcast grew beyond its original scope. It became a weekly discussion of Music, Worship and points in between. One of my favorites we recorded was our Christmas Music Spectacular in which we spoke about six of our favorite Christmas songs.
(http://ideologyofmadness.spookyouthouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/popecast.jpg)It proved to be our most popular episode.
Now The Mark Andrew PopeCast may have podfaded, but like Lazarus from the tomb the Christmas Music Spectacular has been summoned forth. That episode follows. Now don&#039;t fret that your IoM feed has been co-opted by Christians with a desire to convert. No. In the Christmas Music Spectacular we share some favorite music, talk a little about what we like in a Christmas church service and our Christmas traditions. Plus, Mark shares an original Christmas song.
We hope you enjoy it!

She, Pip and Wynne all extended their hands over each other’s. With closed eyes they murmured, &#8220;Bitter death you may control But over living&#8217;s light you have no hold! Break now we demand! Break now we command!&#8221; They pulled back their hands. Pip turned his over, revealing a brilliant sphere beaming with golden daylight. Korin shielded his eyes from the glare, but it quickly dimmed. &#8220;It will glow once you&#8217;ve reached the Necromancer.&#8221; Pip handed the object to Korin. &#8220;Smash it once you&#8217;ve reached him. The closer the better.&#8221; Korin nodded. &#8220;Okay&#8230;get close, smash this and then hold out for the calvary. Casey, can you guide me to him? I mean if you can find him?&#8221; Casey shook her her head regretfully. &#8220;I can definitely sense the Necromancer’s presence in the house, but I can&#8217;t tell where he is physically. His magicks are interfering with my psionics.” Korin took the sphere carefully in hand. &#8220;How gentle do I need to be with this thing? I mean I don&#8217;t want to break it before I get in there.&#8221; &#8220;Well,&#8221; Pip offered, &#8220;It&#8217;s not Grandma&#8217;s china. But it ain&#8217;t Tupperware either.&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;ll want to be careful with it,&#8221; Alseyne cautioned. The Mongoose took a deep breath. &#8220;Well here goes nothing&#8230;.anyone wanna give....]]></description>

She struggled to open her eyes; the urge to throw up was extreme. The room was dark&#8230;her ghoulish eyes adjusted quickly though. The night was her time. Outside with the raiding party, Casey stood motionless in something resembling a psionic trance. Her mind inhabited Amaya’s: she saw and heard and felt everything the captive ghoul experienced. Wallpaper peeled from battered walls. A wide picture window lay across from her — smashed — looking out onto the porch beyond. Other windows were about, but they were boarded up. On the floor near her chair lay the battered and beaten body of a boy no older than eleven years. He was wearing shorts, a blue t-shirt, and a cape. His head was turned at an angle for which his neck should not be capable of accommodating. Eyes open, the poor fellow looked on at nothing, life having left his body some time ago. Out in the yard, Casey grimaced. &#8220;Ulek, I&#8217;m sorry. Your man is dead.&#8221; The boy nodded. &#8220;We heard&#8230;&#8221; He struggled with the words. &#8220;&#8230;We heard&#8230; the struggle.&#8221; Across the room the baboon — Phil — was pacing in front of an opening leading into a hall beyond. He stopped, seeing Amaya’s wakefulness. &#8220;Well, hello sleepyhead.&#8221;....]]></description>

Perhaps causing a small localized earthquake or setting the house ablaze? Even if they leave the hostage behind when they come out, an extraction team would likely have a better chance going in after her, even with the added danger caused by whatever our distraction is. It could work out even better if they bring her out with them &#8212; no need to divide our forces then.&#8221; Pip and Yggthor both thought on that. &#8220;An excellent thought,” BranAdoo agreed. “However, the house sits on a node, Lady. Will that effect your castings?” &#8220;A Node?” Claws frowned. “Is that like a Caern?&#8221; &#8220;I think so,” the Stonewolf responded. &#8220;My knowledge of magic is inadequate to say for sure. &#8221; &#8220;That house is rotting away,” Casey said dubiously. &#8220;It would be a total inferno within minutes if we set it on fire, and the girl&#8217;s in no shape to help herself if for whatever reason we can&#8217;t reach....]]></description>

Intimidation can work quite well. But if you boys are in a bloodthirsty mood, by all means let&#8217;s shout &#8216;Charge!&#8217; and storm the gates&#8230;.err&#8230;door.&#8221; &#8220;The baboon&#8217;s a sly one,&#8221; Yggthor said. &#8220;Diplomacy provides only time for him to work his lies and mischief. A follower of Loki that one.&#8221; &#8220;Green spandex Loki brother of Thor from the comic books?&#8221; Pip asks, &#8220;Or blood brother of Odin Loki from the Eddas?&#8221; Yggthor glared sharply. &#8220;The *real* Loki!&#8221; &#8220;I return to my original question,&#8221; Pip mumbled. &#8220;Don&#8217;t start,&#8221; Yggthor growled. &#8220;Okay, okay&#8230; We&#8217;ll save the media-i-zation of your religion....]]></description>

For a baboon?&#8221; Behind him in a middle seat, McAdoo smiled without humor. &#8220;Better to have and not need.&#8221;  Korin sat quietly in a back seat of the SUV, looking utterly bemused. Beside him, Casey saw his mute bafflement and remembered that he knew even less about what was going on than she did.  Quietly, she leaned over and shared what little information she had.  &#8221;Pretty crazy, isn&#8217;t it?  As I understand it, Austin was a much safer place to be until just recently.  All the different factions have always been here &#8212; the garou, the vampires, the Fae and so on &#8212; but they maintained a kind of&#8230;balance, a status quo, amongst themselves.  They weren&#8217;t allies, but they kept the peace; they followed certain rules of conduct.&#8221; Korin nodded, listening intently. &#8220;Then something changed,&#8221; she went on.  &#8221;Bronwen, the Vampire Prince of Austin, somehow formed an alliance with a subgroup of garou, the Red Talons, and with Mardmor and his goblins, and with a demon prince called Kilarothes who&#8217;s in exile from his own world.  Between them they seem to be recruiting all the local figures of power who will join them, and destroying....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It boggles my mind that there are websites that will give the recent The Thing prequel a negative review for repeating the beats of the John Carpenter original, but will give Paranormal Activity 3 a positive review.  Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, Paranormal 3 brings a good amount of scares and jumps, and is mostly successful, but the movie rips off everything from the old BBC TV movie Ghostwatch (worth seeking out) to Poltergeist, Halloween:The Curse of Michael Myers, and even the first two movies in the franchise. The thing about PA3 is that it&#8217;s largely effective as a scary movie.  Until the last fifteen minutes, the film actually does a good job of racketing up tension and throwing a good jump scare at you every couple of minutes.  The problems with the movie actually don&#8217;t come from the acting or the scares, but from the very basics of the story and the direction.  It&#8217;s hard to go into too many details without spoiling things, so let&#8217;s talk a bit more after the jump, shall we? Remember&#8230;SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP! Okay, so PA3 jumps back in time to 1988 and tries to explain the &#8220;weird stuff&#8221; that Katie and Kristi (from the first two movies) went through as kids (which they discuss at length in part 2).  So we get to see them as children and their first experiences with &#8220;Toby,&#8221; the demon (now named) who, ultimately, possesses Katie and steals Kristi&#8217;s baby son.  Their parents (who look a lot like Micah and Katie from the....]]></description>

I&#8217;m not much one for letting someone else try to determine my destiny for me.&#8221; &#8220;Me neither,&#8221; Casey agreed. &#8220;Claws&#8217; memories are blocked after a certain point, so I can&#8217;t shed any light there. What I did see&#8230;&#8221; She described in meticulous detail the memories that she was able to access. &#8220;Not sure how that ties in with the prophecy.&#8221; Leaning across the table, Korin looked at the Bastet. &#8220;Wait&#8230;so Claws was on the moon for a few hours which in moon time translates to years? Who would he bring back? Why would they follow him here?&#8221; The black-haired Sidhe shook her head. &#8220;I think he was on the moon for a few hours &#8212; or what his mind saw as the moon, then he was sent to a different time for what appears to be several years, then returned back here. As for who would follow&#8230;presumably his enemies. Why&#8230;to kill him, perhaps, or for some information he carries? Their motive is unclear.&#8221; Glancing around for a clock, Casey commented, &#8220;It&#8217;s getting late, I should head back. I&#8217;m supposed to be helping Falco with something.&#8221; Claws seemed deep in thought, half listening to the exchange going on around....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know what they say?  Absence makes the heart grow fonder.  Never have those words been more true then in the case of Busch Gardens Tampa&#8217;s Howl-O-Scream.  I don&#8217;t mean to be harsh, but I&#8217;ve never been a big proponent of recycling haunted houses.  Recycling items in those houses, sure.  I understand that there needs to be a way to save money.  But, given that the event is a separate ticket event (you have to buy a ticket &#8211; you can&#8217;t just get in with a day pass), it seems to me like there should be enough money to at least re-theme the houses, with different actors or slight alterations.  Instead, both Busch Gardens parks (Tampa and Williamsburg) recycle entire houses with almost no changes, which makes for me second guessing the point of attending for, essentially, one or two new houses each year.  *review of 2009&#8242;s event here* So&#8230;I skipped 2010&#8242;s event.  I really wanted to go, but the draw of Universal&#8217;s Wizarding World of Harry Potter was stronger to me.  Not only that, the &#8220;chick band rock star&#8221; theme last year didn&#8217;t intrigue me as much as some of the previous year&#8217;s themes.  However, I think the break from the event helped me to enjoy this year even more. Having been spoiled by Universal&#8217;s Press Event the night before with the front of the line access of all the houses, I decided (wisely) to go for the VIP package with Howl-O-Scream.  For $71 (I&#8217;m a passholder at the Williamsburg....]]></description>

Casey&#8217;s baffled expression shifted slowly to one of horrified comprehension. &#8220;Yes, I was wondering about the word Wyrm used,&#8221; McAdoo commented in a quiet tone. &#8220;Our friend carries no scent of wrymtaint.&#8221; Claws cocked his head to the side. &#8220;Something I said&#8230; yes, I did, didn&#8217;t I?&#8221; His brow drew tight, trying to remember. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand it, but it seemed important.&#8221; He pondered, &#8220;Brought them back with me? I remember no one. I was in the room alone, until Alseyne arrived. Alone with a sword, a dripping sword. Dripping&#8230;fresh blood? If it weren&#8217;t fresh, it would have dried.&#8221; McAdoo slid his half-eaten pie away, shifted his chair away from the table. &#8220;I fear the story unfinished. &#8221; Now it was Alsyene warrior who smiled. &#8220;Unfinished stories are the best kind because you can write your own ending.&#8221; McAdoo snorted in wry humor. &#8220;Bloodthirsty elf.&#8221; She raised an elegant eyebrow, &#8220;I am not a bloodthirsty elf.&#8221; She paused, and then a wide feral smile broke over her face as she laughed, &#8220;I&#8217;m a bloodthirsty Sidhe.&#8221; &#8220;From the sounds of it, bloodshed follows me.,&#8221; Claws scowled. &#8220;Are you sure you don&#8217;t want to let me depart, as I offered....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The official Avengers trailer is now online&#8230;and pretty badass.  I&#8217;ll save snarky nitpicks until after the trailer. So&#8230;it does bug me a little that the first 30 seconds of the trailer make this seem a lot like a Transformers movie.  I was hoping for a better look at the Hulk, but I guess we&#8217;ll see more in the next trailer.  I mean, we&#8217;re still a while away from the film being released.  Oh, and the song selection, despite being a great song&#8230;really could have been something a little more recent. Nitpicks aside, I&#8217;m actually pretty impressed by the trailer.  High hopes for this one.  Watch in HD at Apple.]]></description>

With a shrug, he looked over at her. &#8220;I wish I could say. I remember being drawn to Selene&#8217;s realm and a short bit after that. Then I remember sitting in the common room at the hotel, studying a bloody sword. Between that is nothing but a blur.&#8221; Casey frowned thoughtfully at his phrasing. &#8220;&#8216;A bloody sword&#8217;? Not your own sword?&#8221; She tried to recall the weapons he&#8217;d carried in Sanctuary, and flashing silver hakarrs took form within the blurred images of those adrenaline-soaked hours. &#8220;You don&#8217;t remember how you got it, or how it got bloody?&#8221; He shook his head. &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s my sword. I really don&#8217;t remember ever learning to swing a sword. And the blood, I figure that it belongs to whoever the last person the sword was used on.&#8221; &#8220;Who&#8217;s Selene?&#8221; &#8220;&#8216;Who is Selene?&#8217;&#8221; Claws looked as though he couldn&#8217;t believe anyone wouldn&#8217;t know who she was. He just shook his head, as if talking to a young child who hadn&#8217;t studied her lessons. Casey didn&#8217;t mind; she&#8217;d settled rather comfortably into the role of semi-clueless student. &#8220;Selene is the moon-mother, sister of Gaia.&#8221; There was a reverence in the Tiger&#8217;s voice, as he told the tale with honor. &#8220;From her tears were we,&#8221; he motioned to himself and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: StarTrek.com &#8220;You&#8217;ve heard the rumors, and now StarTrek.com can officially confirm it: Star Trek: The Next Generation will be released in high-definition Blu-ray, starting in January with a sampler of several popular episodes, followed by a season-one set to be released later on in 2012, and subsequent seasons beaming down after that. Each of the 178 episodes spanning The Next Generation&#8216;s seven seasons will be transferred to true high-definition 1080p for release in the Blu-ray format and, eventually, for runs on television and digital platforms in the U.S. and across the world. Star Trek: The Next Generation will, as fans know, be celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012.&#8221; The sampler will include the feature-length version of the series pilot, &#8220;Encounter at Farpoint,&#8221; as well the fan-favorite episodes &#8220;Sins of the Father&#8221; and &#8220;The Inner Light,&#8221; the former from season three and the latter from season five.  Not sure I&#8217;m on board for the sampler, but I know sales of it will affect the blu-ray releases of the full seasons.  If Paramount is smart, they&#8217;ll throw in a coupon for the full season sets &#8211; then I&#8217;m definitely on board. I&#8217;m super excited to see TNG on Blu-Ray, especially with new effects and remastered from the original negatives.  It&#8217;s going to be like an entirely new experience &#8211; what say you?  Will this be enough to make you guys purchase? Oh, and hey, if you&#8217;re a Trek fan, make sure to check out our brand new actual play, Star Trek: Aegean, which just released its first episode here!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year, Universal is going to back to basics, primarily going with original concepts (save for one house based on the upcoming prequel to The Thing), including the event's icon, Lady Luck.  For those avoiding any specific details on the event, I'll briefly summarize by saying that, while I wasn't overly impressed with the scarezones this year (more detail on that after the jump), the houses this year were absolutely amazing in theming.  Universal stepped up their game this year and created some truly memorable, exciting experiences that will impress you while trying to scare you.  Definitely worth the price of admission, some of the houses are truly awe-inspiring.  I highly recommend checking out the event this year.  I do want to note, however, that due to the popularity of the event, I'd also recommend finding some way to attend more than once.  One trip will leave you sorely missing out on some of the event.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My gaming life began not with Dungeons and Dragons but with the TSR Marvel Super Heroes game from the 80’s.  I was (and am) a huge Marvel fan, anyway, so being able to drop one of my characters into that universe was a dream come true.  When other people’s first characters were fighting orcs and dragons and saving the princess, my first characters were fighting Dr. Doom and the Marauders and saving  the world.  While I’ve gotten rid of each version of D&#38;D when the next one has been released I still have almost all my game books from the Marvel Super Heroes game and still have characters I created 20 years ago and would still love to play in a campaign. Imagine my sense of nostalgia and delight, then when I read Icons.  Many games, especially since the advent of the d20 system are just fresh skins stretched out on the skeleton of a rules system that were not designed for them.  Icons is just the opposite.  Instead of the bones of the Marvel Super Heroes system with a new skin, Icons is the skin of the Marvel Super Heroes system with a new skeleton.  Of course, the creator of Icons, Adamant Entertainment does not have the license to Marvel’s characters but that is almost the only thing missing from the old game. The similarities between the two games are striking.  Like the Marvel Super Heroes game, character generation in Icons is almost entirely random.  The type of character,....]]></description>

I would hesitate to put much faith in her assistance.&#8221; &#8220;Lena?&#8221; Pip asked. &#8220;Yeah.  She was kind of flakey.&#8221; &#8220;Careful,&#8221; Yggthor cautioned. &#8220;She may have been devoured by the River Hag.&#8221; &#8220;Sorry.&#8221; &#8220;But I thought she was flakey, too.&#8221; Yggthor added. &#8220;Yggy!&#8221; Katherine scolded. &#8220;Sorry, dear.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s been days since I&#8217;ve even thought about that hag,&#8221; Alseyne mused. &#8220;I suppose we should call &#8212; just to see if she was the victim or not.  I doubt she was though &#8212; I think she took off to chase whomever was running that tornado that attacked us on Sunday; that&#8217;s when she disappeared.&#8221; &#8220;One hopes he leaves traces enough to follow. However, I have a request.&#8221; McAdoo adjusted the Guardian blade next to his leg. &#8220;Yggthor, remember that house we were at just before we met the children? That place is a node that masked the presence of an abomination skindancer named Phil. I would like aid in chasing him down and support against whatever else was upstairs.&#8221; &#8220;Od&#8217;s blood, I almost forgot about that.&#8221;  Yggthor looked to Pip. &#8220;He&#8217;s right.  Something bad was up there.&#8221; The troll looked back to McAdoo. &#8220;Tonight?  After dinner?&#8221; &#8220;I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many ways, Blood and Honor is more of an extension and revision of the rules presented in Houses of the Blooded than a separate game.  In fact, at one point John Wick, in typical John Wick fashion, states that a great deal of Blood and Honor is lifted directly from Houses of the Blooded. There are a few changes between Houses of the Blooded and Blood and Honor and the first and most significant is evident almost immediately.  Although Blood and Honor retains Virtues and Aspects from its predecessor, character creation does not start with the character.  Instead the group begins by creating one or more clans.  The clan(s) created do a great deal to help define the nature of the characters that are then created as well as where the story goes once character creation is done. During clan creation, the players select four aspects for the clan, though one of these is always an aspect called “None of Us is as Great as All of Us,” an aspect that gives characters bonus dice for assisting a fellow member of their clan.  Unlike Houses of the Blooded, where an aspect could be anything that the player can come up with and the Narrator approved, the aspects in Blood and Honor are limited and defined.  It should also be noted that Aspects in Blood and Honor do not have Tags.  While the Invoke and Compel facets remain, Aspects no longer have a Tag that opponents can use against characters.....]]></description>

Instinctively holding her breath as she levitated up off the floor, she sent, ** Maybe they&#8217;re only dangerous if we touch them.  Think we can hop past and then get a door closed between us and them somewhere farther on? ** Falco had been scrutinizing them. :: I agree. :: He joined her, rising. As they moved off, eight panels slid away on the walls &#8212; four on each side. Eight ghastly figures stepped out, the mouths full of sparkling white and beastly pointed teeth. Each was nude, but the gender almost unidentifiable due to the advanced state of&#8230; decay? Their flesh was mottled and gray. A hideous reek emanated from them. :: Welcoming committee? :: ** Somehow I don&#8217;t feel all that welcome. **  Casey eyed the creatures uncertainly, wondering if they had a taste for brains or hearts or some other human organ that Houseman and his freaking vampire buddies couldn&#8217;t supply.  She gestured toward one of the undead figures, sending a wave of heat to ignite it, prepared to quickly raise a....]]></description>

Her eyes flicked to the window. Dusk. A long, deeply luxurious stretch revealed a few sore muscles here and there, but all in all she felt pleasantly rested. What was that&#8230;? Breathing. Peering down over the edge of her bed, she saw Pana curled into a tight ball, sound asleep. Smiling, Casey slipped off the other side of the bed so as not to disturb the dog&#8217;s well-earned rest.  A pang of regret twinged faintly as she moved to the window and looked out on the darkening (or brightening, depending on one&#8217;s point of view) cityscape.  She&#8217;d slept straight through the friendly sunlit day; Austin belonged to the night creatures again until another dawn. She wondered almost idly how many more sunrises she&#8217;d live to see.  The Vampire Prince &#8212; Bronwen, she recalled the name after a moment&#8217;s thought &#8212; wasn&#8217;t going to be an easy kill.  He&#8217;d be angry now, and gathering his defenses even while he plotted retaliatory strikes. Getting to him might not be that difficult though.  He might even want to see her by now.  Just reaching Bronwen might not be nearly as much of a challenge as actually taking him down and then getting herself out in one piece. She reached over to the dresser and picked up her weapon, liking the solid heft of it in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, much like I&#8217;m attending this year&#8217;s Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando, Florida, I&#8217;ll also be attending (a scant hour or so away), Busch Gardens Tampa&#8217;s awesome Howl-O-Scream event as well! I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of this event, especially some of their awesome mascots.  Characters like The Raven Twins, the House of Vayne, the Death Jockey&#8230;vicious stuff like you don&#8217;t see here in Virginia.  Well, this year, though the advertising of each park is a little different, the theme is the same between Tampa and it&#8217;s Virginia counterpart &#8211; &#8220;The Dark Side of the Gardens.&#8221; In Tampa, four houses return from last year, including &#8220;Alone,&#8221; a premium (pay extra) experience where you get to go through a house&#8230;well, alone!  New this year are a Zombie Casino and a Poe house, interestingly both similar to themes being used at UOR in Orlando.  Still, I&#8217;m sure the parks will do vastly different things with them. I can&#8217;t wait! All the official details are after the jump! Busch Gardens Reveals “The Dark Side Of the Gardens” at Howl-O-Scream 2011 Florida’s Top-rated Halloween Event Shares all of the Undead Details at TheDarkSideOfTheGardens.com TAMPA, Fla. (Aug. 16, 2011) – This fall, a new type of terror takes root in the Dark Side of the Gardens at Howl-O-Scream 2011.

As usual, your favorite IoM Pauloween writer will be there covering the event! Check out more of the full details after the jump! YOUR FATE IS IN HER HANDS Lady Luck Reigns Over Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights 21 The Country’s Best Halloween Event Returns with More Nights, Plus All-New Haunted Houses, Scarezones and Shows ORLANDO, Fla. (August 31, 2011) – You seek her… hoping she’ll be on your side.  She appears…an enchanting seductress…and you decide to take a chance. But the more chances you take, the more she craves…you.  Her eyes grow cold.   Her face contorts into&#8230;something that is not human.  Her charming laugh turns to rabid growl.  Your luck has run out.  You have made your last choice. For 25 nights beginning September 23, Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights returns as the nation’s best and most intense Halloween event. Guests will confront extreme Halloween entertainment that cannot be experienced anywhere else.  This year, they will scream as they become prey to fiendish creatures, panic as they come face-to-face with a horrifying “thing,” feel chills as they are haunted by deceased souls – and watch in paralyzing fear as Lady Luck transforms from a tempting seductress to a bloodthirsty beast. Lady Luck is the force behind this year’s event, and she awaits those brave enough to challenge her and take a chance.  Her main weapon is choice, and her desire is for you to make....]]></description>

She gave him a smile as she settled onto the stool beside him.  &#8220;Morning.&#8221; &#8220;Mornin&#8217;.&#8221; He tipped his head. &#8220;Feelin&#8217; human again?&#8221; &#8220;A lot closer, anyway,&#8221; she nodded with a crooked grin.   &#8220;Pana has prepared for you her signature dish,&#8221; The dog-man said &#8220;Kibble.&#8221; Casey glanced uncertainly toward the stove. &#8220;Never mind him,&#8221; the Malamute smiled at Casey and plated up a wedge of frittata featuring pan fried potatoes and onions, yellow squash and zucchini, red bell pepper, eggs, sausage, and cheese. It smelled wonderful. Beside it were several slices of apple and a wedge of navel orange. Casey nearly swooned as the fragrant steam filled her nose.  Her hand trembled as she carefully speared a chunk of potato and took her first bite. It was quite simply wonderful. &#8220;How do you take your coffee?&#8221; For a moment Casey was too absorbed in the simple hedonistic pleasure of chewing and swallowing the savory mouthful to answer.  But between the first forkful and the second she managed to look briefly up from her plate.  &#8220;No coffee for me, I need to sleep.  Is there any milk back there?&#8221; &#8220;There is,&#8221; Pana drew the jug out of the refrigerator, &#8220;Skim okay?&#8221; That struck Casey as humorous.  Falco, able to....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As in the previous two years, your buds at IoM will be attending this year&#8217;s Halloween Horror Nights even in Orlando, Florida at Universal Studios Orlando.  Now, this year&#8217;s event has been shrouded in secrecy, the only hints revealed so far pointing to a casino/gambling theme.  For the last couple of weeks, I&#8217;ve been getting small playing cards with sayings on them related to &#8220;luck&#8221; and &#8220;death.&#8221;  Great stuff. Well&#8230;this week news is finally starting to leak out.  On Screamscape, it was revealed that an Orlando Burger King accidentally put up a promotional poster for HHN early, revealing the event&#8217;s icon, Lady Luck (at right).  In addition, the TV commercial seems to have leaked online as well (below). What&#8217;s most surprising, though, is that it seems that the themes for all of the haunts have been leaked too.  That&#8217;s pretty rare, but I guess when set pics for all of next year&#8217;s blockbusters can leak with all the security on movie sets, something like this isn&#8217;t too hard to get out.  Also from the link above, here are the themes for the eight houses (scarezone themes haven&#8217;t leaked yet): The Thing, based on the upcoming movie Madness of Poe an old spooky cemetery a crazy WWI era hospital Holiday horror gone wrong one based on the Saws &#38; Steam scare zone from last year something themed to Runes one themed to a haunted Spanish ghost ship Check out the commercial for this year&#8217;s event after the jump!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CAST OF PLAYERS: Debora Silkotch…………..Casey Gavin…………………………Human Psionic Aron Head……………….Story/Setting/Everything Else…….Game Master ********************************************* Casey hovered in slightly dazed silence, blinking around at the dark ruins.  &#8220;What&#8230;what was&#8230;&#8221;  Her mind felt like it was revving in park, trying to process the images, sensations and transitions that had just flooded through it. Falco hooked an eyebrow at her.   Her gaze settled on the inert amulet, focused there with an effort.  &#8220;Good.  We&#8217;ll keep it somewhere safe.&#8221;  She looked around the dusty, settling ruins and a shudder rippled though her.  &#8220;Let&#8217;s get out of here.&#8221; &#8220;Agreed.&#8221; He slipped the amulet into his pocket and exited the chamber. Casey followed more slowly, the lingering images of things and people and places she&#8217;d never known still teasing her curiosity.  Were those scenes from Falco&#8217;s long life?  For an instant she&#8217;d seemed to be a part of him, sharing his experiences and memories.  It had been marvelous while it was happening, but now she felt rather awkward, as if she&#8217;d snuck in and read the diary of someone she barely knew.  It was a level of personal intimacy completely out of synch with the usual mentor/student nature of their relationship. And Casey instinctively shied away from the thought of letting their relationship become personal.  Having a mentor with a penchant for manipulation and deception&#8230;she could handle that, now that she knew to be aware of it.  But to think of him as a friend, and to always wonder what deceptions her friend may be practicing upon her....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember &#8220;Paul&#8217;s Horror Flix?&#8221; It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve reviewed any horror films for the site, and I kinda miss talking about films in my favorite genre, especially with Pauloween coming up in just a month and a half (as long time readers know, Pauloween is a month-long event, not just October 31st!).  Well, it&#8217;s about damn time we brought the tradition of chatting about our favorite scary flicks back to IoM, starting each Friday with FEARFUL FRIDAYS (check out previous horror reviews here). First off, Grave Encounters, a &#8220;found footage&#8221; horror movie due out October 18th on DVD. In the movie, a group of paranormal investigators, similar to television&#8217;s popular Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures shows, investigates a haunted hospital. Though the site housed some pretty tragic events when filled with the living, since it&#8217;s been abandoned, folks have been seeing eerie apparitions and hearing odd noises. As we&#8217;re told, this is the sixth episode of the aborted &#8220;Grave Encounters&#8221; tv series, and gathered from the raw footage filmed during their visit there. Full review after the jump. Grave Encounters is a genuinely creepy little movie. I&#8217;d heard relatively little about the movie, though it actually has shown at a couple of film festivals (including Tribeca) and been met with fairly positive reviews. I really feel that the flick would benefit from a push similar to the one Paranormal Activity received a couple of years ago. Especially since it largely would appeal to the same audience. The thing....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I actually really enjoy the Underworld movies. I mean, sure, they&#8217;re poorly written and are a little silly, but they appeal to the kid in me who likes to see cool looking people shooting cool looking vampires and werewolves. Really, they&#8217;re for the type of comic fan who likes fun comics, and is willing to believe that yes, vampires can make sunlight-filled bullets because, you know, it&#8217;s just cool. Well, it&#8217;s been some time since we last saw Kate Beckinsale in the leather get-up, and I for one have missed her. The movie opens in 3D and 2D theaters on January 20, 2012. Directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, it stars Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley and Charles Dance. I&#8217;d expect to see this trailer this weekend if you watch Conan in 3D. FYI &#8230; I also hear that you may see a new trailer for Ghost Rider with that flick too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the might of Warner Brothers behind them, DC has produced a new trailer that will be showing in theaters as part of National CineMedia’s “FirstLook” pre-feature programming (Source).  Sadly, the actual trailer that&#8217;s going to be showing in theaters leaves a lot to be desired, I think. Where&#8217;s the mention that these are &#8220;great for new readers,&#8221; or a call to people who&#8217;ve never read comics to check out the all new stories of heroes they love? Instead we get the statement &#8220;52 All New #1&#8242;s&#8221; as if the general public really cares about that. I think it&#8217;s ultimately ineffective, which is sad. However, there is a 2-minute version of the trailer which I think works significantly better. It still has some of the same failings in that it doesn&#8217;t call out to the folks who actually have never picked up comics before, but the longer breathing room gives a better look at some of the heroes and comics. Check out that one after the jump.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So you wake up Monday morning and hop directly on your computer to download the newest episode of your favorite comics podcast, Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie, only to find&#8230;nothing. What the hell?  Where&#8217;s your weekly dose of Funnybooks madness with your favorite hosts?  What comics were worth buying last week from your local El Camino Comics, and what new dirty jokes and insults are you supposed to use this week? Well&#8230;the delay is intentional.  Last week&#8217;s episode of Knights of Reignsborough was released a little late and, since a good portion of the listenership overlaps, we thought we&#8217;d give time to let everyone download and listen to that one before we bombard you with some new audio. So this new episode will drop this coming Wednesday, on new comic book day, so you can listen while you read your new purchases!  Not only that, some exciting stuff is in store on this week&#8217;s episode including comedy rockstar Mikey Mason&#8216;s new single, and a fond (temporary) farewell to one of your Funnybooks hosts!]]></description>

She frowned.  Maybe he&#8217;d known she wouldn&#8217;t go along with it; maybe his intention all along had been to go alone to find the amulet. But what use would a psionic, a proven enemy of Mardmor, have for a goblin artifact?  On the other hand, if he only meant to destroy it, why couldn&#8217;t he have done that with Casey and Alseyne present? None of it made sense. And what if he wasn&#8217;t the only one searching for it?  What if he ran into more of those thaumaturges or whatever they were called, and they took the amulet? Nothing was ever as simple as it should be. Should she just keep her mouth shut and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: SuperheroHype! Here it is!  The first look at Henry Cavill as Superman in the upcoming Man of Steel movie!  I freakin love it! Is it just me, or does it look inspired by the &#8220;New 52&#8243; look of Superman?  Either way, I&#8217;m sold. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have provided the first look at the new “Man of Steel,” revealing star Henry Cavill as Superman in the film from director Zack Snyder. The film also stars three-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (“The Fighter”) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (“Unfaithful”) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (“Dances with Wolves”). Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road”), and Faora, Zod’s evil partner, played by Antje Traue. Also from Superman’s native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s mother, played by Julia Ormond, and Superman’s father, Jor-El, portrayed by Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (“Gladiator”). Rounding out the cast are Harry Lennix as U.S. military man General Swanwick, as well as Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy. “Man of Steel” is being produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer, from a story by Goyer and Nolan, based upon Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel &#38;....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya know, filed under &#8220;wasted properties,&#8221; you&#8217;re sure to find the character of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes.  Do you realize their hasn&#8217;t been any new Tarzan comic material released since 2001&#8242;s Superman/Tarzan: Sons of the Jungle Elseworlds book?  (yes, that cover at right is by current Amazing Spider-Man artist Humberto Ramos) I&#8217;d imagine this might have something to do with Disney having some kind of Tarzan ownership rights, but that can&#8217;t be right?  After all, the movie was in 1999, and the aforementioned Dark Horse comic came out two years later.  Does Dark Horse still own some kind of comic rights?  If not, why isn&#8217;t Disney doing anything with the property?  Come to think of it, since the end of the Tarzan and Jane TV series that followed up the animated movie, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve seen anything from them on the character, even in their parks.  I know there was a 2003 Tarzan TV series on the WB/CW, but it didn&#8217;t last very long (honestly, given its format, it would be a big hit nowadays). I mean, this is Tarzan.  It&#8217;s not Sleeping Beauty or Beauty and the Beast.  Tarzan is a character that should have continuing adventures, both in his world and in man&#8217;s world.  And while I understand that comics set in the jungle typically don&#8217;t sell well (has a Ka-Zar series ever lasted more than a year?), you can easily take Tarzan out of the jungle and bring him into the city.  You can even make him younger and more of a Batman-esque....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Released this week in comic shops everywhere, writer Ron Marz&#8217;s first sold out storyline of Image/Top Cow&#8217;s Magdalena collects the first six issues of the series, featuring writing from Marz, art by Nelson Blake II, David Marquez, Sal Regla, and covers by Ryan Sook. We talked a bit about the first couple of issues of Magdalena in our regular Funnybooks show, but didn&#8217;t really discuss the last half of the storyline, primarily because we didn&#8217;t want to repeat ourselves.  That being said&#8230;in case you didn&#8217;t listen to the episodes&#8230;.just f*cking buy this book.  Ron Marz has very publicly stated that, despite having an immensely popular Witchblade run (about to come to an end), he came to Top Cown primarily because he wanted to write Magdalena, and it shows. Magdalena tells the story of Patience, who&#8217;s only the most current Magdalena.  See, the Magdalena have actually been the official protector and warrior of the Catholic Church for over two thousand years, sworn to defend the Faith with the Spear of Destiny against all manner of supernatural threats.  They&#8217;re the descendants of Christ Himself, but Patience&#8230;well, she&#8217;s actually lost her patience with the church.  She&#8217;s abandoned the church and struck out on her own, to fight creatures outside the sanctity of the church.  However, her old employers have come across evidence that the Antichrist has been born.  Not only that, he&#8217;s about to unleash the devil upon Earth. Magdalena Volume I is probably the best place to get the first storyline, as many of the issues are sold out.  And....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The destiny of the worlds in a Space 1889 campaign is determined by three distinct groups of people. The first is the Brotherhood of Luxor. The second are the Vulcans. The final group is the player characters. How they deal with the plots of the Brotherhood and handle the dangerous technology of the Vulcans will determine the fate of the solar system in their campaign. The Savage Worlds version of Space 1889, Red Sands, is one of Pinnacle’s plot point games. Like all plot point games, there is an inherent story in the game, a central threat that will destroy the solar system and everything unless the player characters are able to put a stop to it. GMs of these games are not forced to come up with a campaign concept for Space 1889, it is provided right out of the box. In Space 1889 the worlds endangering threat is the Brotherhood of Luxor a big bad cabal with more than one dark secret. The core of the Brotherhood is a gathering of powerful, anonymous individuals who each have their own reason for creating chaos and destruction. They use any number of cat’s-paws and pawns and a wide assortment of strange technology to advance their plots and it isn’t until their end game that the players have a chance of glimpsing the men behind the curtain. Some of the strange technology is where the second actors in this particular drama become involved. The Vulcans in Space 1889 are not the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It depresses me that it&#8217;s been 13 years since we&#8217;ve seen any new content featuring the awesome characters Monkeyman and O&#8217;Brien.  Created by one of my favorite artists, Art Adams, this 3-issue mini series was published back in 1996 (there was a Danger Girl crossover in 1998).  And for those who don&#8217;t know Art Adams (seriously, he hasn&#8217;t done regular comic work, save for a couple of issues for Marvel, in YEARS)&#8230;well&#8230;.let&#8217;s just say he can draw an ape. The &#8220;Monkeyman&#8221; of the title is Axewell Tiberius, who comes from another dimension.  He&#8217;s super smart, kind of like Beast or Reed Richards.  The accident that causes Tiberius to jump between dimensions also causes Ann O&#8217;Brien, the daughter of a missing scientist, to grow to 7-feet tall, and get super strength. An homage to silver age style storytelling, the two characters faces characters like &#8221;Shrewmanoid&#8221; and the &#8220;Froglodytes,&#8221; and the book is, essentially, three issues of non-stop awesome story and art. I wish Art Adams would get back to these characters, or at least allow someone of his caliber (trust me, there aren&#8217;t many) to do a story with these characters. For some awesome Monkeyman and O&#8217;Brien stuck, check out some motion comics here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend Rodger tells the story of being a kid, laying on his belly at his friend&#8217;s house and watching 2001: A Space Odyssey.  He and his buddy were enthralled by The Dawn of Man scenes in which early man-apes discover the use of tools.  His friend&#8217;s father wandered into the room and joined the boys watching the movie while sipping his beer. The father scrutinized Kubrick&#8217;s film for long moments until at last he rendered his evaluation: &#8220;This ain&#8217;t nothin&#8217; but a damn monkey movie.&#8221; Anybody who&#8217;s listened to more than a few episodes of Funnybooks knows I have a deep and abiding affection for monkeys.  Talking monkeys, that is. I enjoy them in all their forms.  Comics, TV, movies&#8230; at the office, in the grocery store&#8230; love &#8216;em.  In my homebrew SF game, the local sheriff?  Talking monkey. I don&#8217;t really understand my fascination with talking monkeys.  I just know that I am drawn to them. With the advent of this week&#8217;s release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Ideology of Madness will honor the Planet of the Apes franchise for all its done to elevate the dialogue between man and ape.  Additionally, we&#8217;ll look at other chatty ape notables.  And we&#8217;re giving stuff away! More on that shortly. Ain&#8217;t nothin&#8217; but a damn monkey movie?  And a damn monkey comic.  And a damn monkey TV show.  And a damn monkey website.]]></description>

We don&#8217;t want that thing just lying around, though I&#8217;m not sure how we can find it amongst all of this. But, no offense meant, Casey &#8212; I don&#8217;t think you should hold onto it yourself.&#8221; Casey frowned, then shrugged.  &#8220;Falco can carry it, then.&#8221; Falco nodded. &#8220;Why don&#8217;t Casey and I seek out the amulet while the rest of you head up top?&#8221; &#8220;Frankly, I think it&#8217;s too dangerous for anyone here other than maybe Korin to hold onto for any length of time,&#8221; Alseyne commented. &#8220;We don&#8217;t know what it does but I&#8217;m very afraid it could potentially negatively affect anyone with either telepathic skills or kithain heritage. Korin is the only one of us present that doesn&#8217;t fall into one of those two categories so therefore should be the least likely to be able to be affected by it.&#8221; Casey mulled that over.  &#8220;Korin may not be able to communicate with it, but that doesn&#8217;t mean weres can&#8217;t be affected by bad Fae juju.  Look what happened to McAdoo.&#8221;   &#8220;We should take it back to Graford,&#8221; Pip shared. Catching Falco&#8217;s questioning eye he clarified, &#8220;To our Duke. He has people that can study it, contain it.&#8221; &#8220;Aye,&#8221;....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make. I didn&#8217;t like &#8220;The Walking Dead&#8221; anywhere near as much as everyone else seems to have. I mean, it was a good series, but I felt it dragged, and got unnecessarily repetitive &#8230; not good for only 6 episodes. Still, it&#8217;s strength (I felt) came from series showrunner Frank Darabont, who also directed the awesome pilot. Well&#8230;. This is a quite a bombshell &#8212; I have learned that Frank Darabont, the creator, executive producer and director of AMC&#8217;s smash hit The Walking Dead, is stepping down as showrunner of the series, which is now in production on its upcoming second season. The news is even more surprising given the fact that Darabont was on hand for Walking Dead&#8217;s Comic-Con panel just this past Friday alongside fellow executive producers Robert Kirkman, on whose graphic novel the series is based, and Gale Anne Hurd and appeared excited about Season 2. There is speculation that Darabont might be off the show completely, but I hear talks are still ongoing about him possibly staying on in some capacity. Darabont, who spent five years trying to get a TV version of the zombie saga off the ground and wrote and directed the AMC pilot, hails from the feature world, and I hear that he never quite adjusted to the daily grind of producing a TV series. (more at Deadline) That&#8217;s very curious, really. I&#8217;d imagine he&#8217;ll stay on in some capacity, as Frank seems to be really into the....]]></description>

She looked around, &#8220;Where&#8217;s he, by the way? Or Andali or Wynne?&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;ll see if I can find them now.&#8221;  Casey extended her restored perceptions out through the wreckage, into what was left of the compound, searching for the missing members of their group. She found Elijah … and Percyndi and the other two surviving prisoners. They were outside the Machine room, but still within Mardmor&#8217;s subterranean sanctum. She brightened.  &#8220;Percyndi&#8217;s alive, Alseyne.  And Elijah, and two of the other prisoners.&#8221;  She indicated the direction.  &#8220;That way.&#8221; Alseyne smiled widely over at Pip before turning back to Casey. &#8220;Good to hear! Let&#8217;s go get them!&#8221; &#8220;No sign of Marlboro or Andali, though. Or Wynne,&#8221; Casey added. Alseyne frowned. &#8220;Maybe she&#8217;s out already. Sluagh are able to get through very small openings.&#8221; Casey started to say that her telepathy had a broader range than a person on foot could have walked out of yet, but then realized that she didn&#8217;t know how long she herself been unconscious after the explosion.  And Sanctuary&#8217;s dampening effect on her psionics seemed to be be preventing her from reaching outside the structure anyway. &#8220;Maybe,&#8221; was all she said. &#8220;Wynne lives,&#8221; Yggthor rumbled. &#8220;I&#8217;d....]]></description>

Holy Terror: Frank Miller is finally releasing the graphic novel that started out as Batman fighting the Taliban. The Dark Knight: Speaking of Batman, DC Animated is adapting Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns as two movies sometime next year. Apparently Batman is a big seller for them, as half of their movies are about him. DC New Universe Designs: Dammit, I really like the Harley Quinn redesign. Doctor Who: The rest of this season looks wicked awesome. Can&#8217;t wait! Matt Fraction is going to be writing lots of stuff: Including a new Defenders series, and some Fear Itself post-stuff. And your first peek at the Avengers from the upcoming movie.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah &#8230; we&#8217;re not at SDCC this year.  Don&#8217;t rub it in. Still, there&#8217;s tons and tons and tons of news rolling out that we&#8217;ve been watching with baited breath and, though nothing has blown our socks off just yet, there&#8217;s still been a number of interesting announcements &#8230; Green Lantern: The Animated Series: I think maybe going with the CG-animated route may have been ill-advised.  The animation here looks like the opening sequence of a Ps2 game.  I&#8217;ll still give it a shot, but I&#8217;m not wowed by this, especially considering the excellent GL animated films DC/WB has put out recently. Embed won&#8217;t work, so go here to watch. Cable Reborn: Yeah, it wasn&#8217;t Hulks, as I was expecting.  Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness are bringing Cable back.  But did anyone really miss him? The Death of Deadpool: Given the nature of the character, I doubt we&#8217;re talking a real death here. Looney Tunes on Blu-Ray: Surprised more people aren&#8217;t going ga-ga over this announcement.  I know I&#8217;m pretty excited about it. Teen Titans looks pretty darn impressive: Seriously, check out the preview art. The Incredible Hulk by Jason Aaron and Marc Silvestri: Yeah &#8230; sign me up for this one.  No art released yet. Some more Superman preview art: I&#8217;m sure Funnybooks host Wayne will complain about this.  For more about unmarried brooding Superman, listen to Monday&#8217;s episode of Funnybooks. Francis Manapul is awesome: And I have a new wallpaper on my desktop. Victor Crowley meets Cassie Hack: Let&#8217;s hope the results are better....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the glorious return of Funnybooks Offline &#8230; here&#8217;s hoping we can keep this a weekly column this time .  So what&#8217;s Funnybooks Offline?  Well, all your regular co-hosts on Funnybooks read a lot more comics than just the ones we talk about.  Great books like Irredeemable, Little Depressed Boy, Wolverine, and others that don&#8217;t get talked about on the show.  Mostly the reason is that we&#8217;ve found, when only one person has read a particular book, it takes away from the discussion format of the show for them to review it alone.   However, that also means that there are some great books out there that aren&#8217;t getting talked about.  Funnybooks Offline is our answer to that. I spoke about Marvel&#8217;s new Mystery Men title recently on the show, but the review was left on the cutting room floor because it hurt the flow of the episode.  I&#8217;m okay with that though because it gives me a separate venue to discuss the series at more length, having read through issue three now. Simply put, Mystery Men kicks all kinds of ass.  The series takes place during the 1930&#8242;s of the Marvel Universe and, though it&#8217;s supposed to call out to particular Marvel characters, either that hasn&#8217;t happened yet, or it&#8217;s happening all the time and I just don&#8217;t know enough about Marvel history.  Written by novelist David Liss with art by Patrick Zircher, Mystery Men is a very pulp take on Marvel&#8217;s past, featuring the formation of a group of heroes all....]]></description>

(July 19, 2011) — An abandoned scientific research facility in the midst of a vast and frozen Antarctica will set the stage for “The Thing,” an all-new horror maze inspired by Universal Pictures’ upcoming film, at both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights events, which begins on September 23 and continues on select nights through October 31. In the thriller “The Thing,” paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. The new haunted house will offer guests an unprecedented first-hand preview of the much-anticipated thriller in advance of its October 14 release. Guests will find themselves in a series of face-to-face encounters with “The Thing,” an alien creature that can transform itself into an exact replica of any living being. “The Thing” maze will recreate the spine-chilling suspense from the film, confronting guests with the paranoia and fear that comes from being trapped inside the film’s Antarctic Thule station.The shape-shifting alien could be anywhere or anything.  Will they survive? Eerily authentic, “The Thing” maze will feature elaborately designed and disturbingly real alien creatures and sets. They will match the film’s terrifying intensity and provoke both a memorable and disturbing experience. Universal’s theme parks have partnered with the film’s....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, technically the first official trailer for the upcoming prequel/reboot to The Thing.  I love the original.  It&#8217;s in my top 5 horror films of ALL TIME.  The way they are approaching this new film &#8230; it&#8217;s impressive.  They hired a pretty girl/guy lead combo, but aren&#8217;t making the film (at least from the trailer) all about skin, like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did (though I enjoyed the hell out of that one).  Not only that, they seem to have successfully tried to capture the essence of the time period of the original, save for one glaringly obvious CGI shot in the trailer (you&#8217;ll see it).  Damn, I can&#8217;t wait.

It was a slow climb of winding tunnels, low ceilings, and crawl ways. At last they reached a clear area that had once been part of the chamber housing the Machine. An open doorway lay ahead, and People standing guard. Pana in bipedal form nodded her direction. The Malamute appeared stoic and formal, but Casey could sense the dog-woman&#8217;s excitement at seeing her. She smiled.  &#8220;Good to see you in one piece, Pana.  I was afraid I&#8217;d lost you.&#8221; &#8220;Not ever, ma&#8217;am.&#8221; Pana nodded respectfully. &#8220;Good.&#8221;  Casey&#8217;s smile faded.  &#8220;Were very many of the People lost in the blast?&#8221; &#8220;Yes.&#8221; Pana provided a single, solemn nod in response. &#8220;But for each one of our we lost, we took dozens of theirs.&#8221; Casey nodded, then sighed.  What a waste … all those lives, on both sides, thrown away for Mardmor&#8217;s mad ambitions.  She wondered what his misguided followers would do now.  Regroup, try to build another Gateway Engine?  Recognize the folly of their aspirations and go peacefully back to their old lives? Whichever way they went, they&#8217;d have to do without Prince Bronwen&#8217;s help next time around.  Casey hadn&#8217;t forgotten her promise to Houseman to eliminate that foul source of treachery and murder.  The Vampire Prince was still next on....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EDITOR&#8217;s NOTE: This is a review we originally posted back in January.  In recognition of Iron Tyrant&#8217;s new availability on DriveThruRpg, we have re-posted for those who might not have seen it the first time.  Iron Tyrants is a hoot-and-a-half.  Go get it.  Now. &#8212; After getting to play test Iron Tyrants with Luke Meyer at Fear the Con, I was itching to get my hands on the book and to try out the game for myself.  So when I got the chance, I jumped on it. The book itself is impressive.  Since its release there have been a lot of jokes going around The Podge Cast about how surprised people are that it is “like a real book.”  While no one should have expected less, it is still refreshing to see a couple of guys who are basically just following their passion go to such lengths to make sure it is professionally done.  The production value of the Iron Tyrants book is at least as good as anything that has come out from most small press companies and greatly exceeds the offerings of many of those companies.  For that matter, it is on par with many of the works of larger gaming companies (and since I haven’t heard of the clear coat on the cover of Iron Tyrants peeling off anyone’s book yet, it’s clearly superior to most of what Palladium puts out.) Iron Tyrants’ quality doesn’t end with the physical book, however.  The flavor text is interesting and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CAST OF PLAYERS: Debora Silkotch…………..Casey Gavin…………………………Human Psionic Aron Head……………….Story/Setting/Everything Else…….Game Master ********************************************* Casey&#8217;s first indication that she was alive was the miserable pain in her back, followed immediately by the gnawing pain in her shoulders, hips, and everywhere else. Not to mention a headache that would kill small children. Her eyes blinked open. She could see nothing; there was no light source here. She seemed to be lying across a pile of torn metal and rocks. Did they … were they buried beneath what was left of the Machine and its chamber? That was technically good then, right?  Felt like the whole damn thing had been reduced to a pile of rubble. Chalk up a win for the good guys. Hurt.  Everything hurt. Slowly, carefully, she tried to move; partly just to see if all the moving parts still worked, and partly to determine whether she was trapped in the wreckage. She found that she was in good working order and mobile. Just more sore than any person ever ought to be. :: Casey? :: It was Falco. He sent a pulse of emotion to her. He was thankful that she&#8217;d made it through. The touch of his mind was a sweet, warm comfort; it soothed the horrific throbbing in her head a bit.  She focused on him, tried to push all the pain into the background.  ** Falco. **  :: It is done. Mardmor&#8217;s dream is in ruins. Humanity is safe. Thanks in large part to you. :: Relief swelled....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Source: Bleeding Cool Starting July 29th on Cartoon Network, the new Thundercats has fans of the old wondering if it can capture the spirit of the original and update it for modern sensibilities without losing what we love about the mythology and its characters.  Luckily, we&#8217;ve got an over nine-minute peek at the series from YouTube: Gotta say, the show reminds me in look and feel of Oban Star Racers, and I can think of no higher praise. I love the changes to the characters and mythology, and the story of the show seems to be going more epic with more focus than the original. Can&#8217;t wait until the hour-long premiere.]]></description>

The flames within the furnace flared in protest at the foreign element: it was apparent that the Machine didn&#8217;t care for the flavor of her power. She nodded slowly, then changed her tactics, literally fighting fire with fire this time.  With a mighty effort she sent a roaring wave of psionic flames into the door, attempting to consume the green storm within. She could feel the effect of her efforts as a storm of forces battled within the furnace. … but the Machine was too powerful. It overwhelmed her fire. The engine ran on magic and did appear to be queered by Casey&#8217;s abilities. But she needed a more direct application of her power against the Machine&#8217;s. Her thoughts turned to the night before, and a textbook Falco had given her in his study: &#8221;The Metrics of Telekinetics.&#8221;  She&#8217;d tried to read it, but it might as well have been written in a foreign language for all the enlightenment she&#8217;d gleaned from its pages.  She wished now that she&#8217;d had more time to learn, more preparation for this moment. ** Falco? Can you hear me? ** :: I am here. :: He answered at once, his voice calm in her head. She drifted back away from the Machine, staring bemusedly at the towering hulk of dark iron.  She knew what it ran on....]]></description>

It appears to reveal the entire line-up of the new JLA which, in addition to the folks we&#8217;ve already seen (better looks at all of their costumes though, also includes Deadman, Atom, Element Woman, Firestorm, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Power Girl and Mera.  Power Girl is iffy though &#8211; folks are saying it could possibly be Zealot, or even Miranda Shrieve, a new character currently appearing in Flashpoint: Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown.  Element Woman is a character premiering in Flashpoint, so it&#8217;s not unreasonable to think more characters will make the jump. Besides being an awesome piece of art, what do you think of the lineup?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the many pleasures of comic book podcasting is that you get to talk to amazingly talented people&#8230; and sometimes you get to talk to amazingly talented people who you&#8217;ve idolized for decades.  Such is the case with this week&#8217;s interview. With a career in comics spanning 40 years, Jim Starlin was responsible for re-imagining such characters as Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock for Marvel&#8230; and then killed them. He&#8217;s the fellow who gave us Thanos (who loves Death) and over at DC, he killed off Jason Todd in the now infamous A DEATH IN THE FAMILY. Sensing a theme? Currently, Jim Starlin is producing the third volume of his creator owned BREED over at Image Comics.  It&#8217;s a horror story centering on the activities of Ray Stoner who is half-demon, half-man.  Monstrous hijinks ensue. Of course, Starlin was a pioneer in the realm of creator-owned content. Starlin debuted his Vanth Dreadstar character in the serialized Metamorphosis Odyssey appearing in the pages of Marvel&#8217;s Epic Illustrated.  Beyond that initial serialized story, Dreadstar moved onto his own original graphic novel followed by a monthly under Marvel&#8217;s Epic banner followed by a series at First Comics and then a mini-series at Malibu. And I ain&#8217;t the only one sporting a chubby for Big Jim.  Oh no, Paul has a deep and abiding love for all things Thanos and the Infinity gems. Brother Starlin teases a little news in this episode about Dreadstar&#8230; and Thanos and a certain movie project. Join our....]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>(http://ideologyofmadness.spookyouthouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/fb2010_starlin.png)One of the many pleasures of comic book podcasting is that you get to talk to amazingly talented people... and sometimes you get to talk to amazingly talented people who you&#039;ve idolized for decades.  Such is the case with this week&#039;s interview.
With a career in comics spanning 40 years, Jim Starlin was responsible for re-imagining such characters as Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock for Marvel... and then killed them.
He&#039;s the fellow who gave us Thanos (who loves Death) and over at DC, he killed off Jason Todd in the now infamous A DEATH IN THE FAMILY.
Sensing a theme?
Currently, Jim Starlin is producing the third volume of his creator owned BREED over at Image Comics.  It&#039;s a horror story centering on the activities of Ray Stoner who is half-demon, half-man.  Monstrous hijinks ensue.
Of course, Starlin was a pioneer in the realm of creator-owned content.
Starlin debuted his Vanth Dreadstar character in the serialized Metamorphosis Odyssey appearing in the pages of Marvel&#039;s Epic Illustrated.  Beyond that initial serialized story, Dreadstar moved onto his own original graphic novel followed by a monthly under Marvel&#039;s Epic banner followed by a series at First Comics and then a mini-series at Malibu.
And I ain&#039;t the only one sporting a chubby for Big Jim.  Oh no, Paul has a deep and abiding love for all things Thanos and the Infinity gems.
Brother Starlin teases a little news in this episode about Dreadstar... and Thanos and a certain movie project.
Join our unabashed geek love fest as we adore Jim Starlin.</itunes:summary>

We three … &#8221; Alseyne indicated herself, Pip and the Nocker &#8220;… will try to knock the couplings loose as a final ploy to stop the firing if Casey can bounce us over to the Machine. You and Mac and the believer there …&#8221; she indicated Casey and McAdoo and Marlboro &#8220;… try to use the Well and see if we can&#8217;t get rid of some of the power at least. But before you do that, Casey, would you please see if you can find Andali&#8217;s mind down below? It could be she was knocked unconscious or something and we just didn&#8217;t see her in the grand melee.&#8221; Marlboro made a face. &#8220;Hey now … I thought we all agreed … gotta get the others out. And belief works from quite a distance … just look at Santa!&#8221; &#8220;Go believe elsewhere if you want, Marlboro,&#8221; Alseyne remarked flatly. &#8220;Just remember that doing that might put Andali at risk, because she&#8217;s got to be down below somewhere and if this thing goes off then she&#8217;s going to be fried as well. I thought you might want to be involved in trying to help keep her alive until we can ALL walk away from this.&#8221; &#8220;Hey babe,&#8221; Marlboro replied, &#8220;Don&#8217;t start layin&#8217; your seelie claptrap....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I applaud any director who goes through the effort of using creature effects to create their monsters, rather than going the CG-route.  It seems like CG is used for pretty much everything nowadays, even so far as using it instead of squibs for blood in movies.  Director Jon Knautz is big on the same line of thinking &#8211; his Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer features tons of great looking creatures that were done using makeup and prosthetics, not a computer. The problem with Jack Brooks ultimately boiled down to one main issue: it was boring.  It was a short film, but it took way too long to get to the punchline and, despite the punchline being pretty darn good &#8230; the slow parts just weren&#8217;t interesting enough to make it worth the wait.  Did The Shrine fair any better? In The Shrine, a group of young journalists investigate a cult said to practice human sacrifice, and end up uncovering a secret that could cost them their lives, starting with a giant mist just outside of town that never leaves or moves, and is too thick to see through.  Venturing into the fog, two of the party come across a giant horrific statue, and not long after they&#8217;re running from the villagers, who are out to make them their next sacrifice. The Shrine is definitely a slow burn.  Unlike Jack Brooks, though, you get a sense of dread throughout that helps keep the film interesting despite it taking its time to bring on....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because no one&#8217;s making a big enough deal out of it &#8230; Yeah &#8230; Dale Keown is the artist on Artifacts #13, which releases this September, probably not-so-coincidentally the same month Witchblade #150 releases, which is Ron Marz&#8217;s last issue on the title (sad Paul).  Kinda shocked that this wasn&#8217;t released in USAToday or something &#8230; maybe the solicits came out early.  Anyway, here&#8217;s the solicit copy on Artifacts #13: ARTIFACTS #13 (of 13) story RON MARZ art DALE KEOWN &#38; SUNNY GHO cover A DALE KEOWN cover B JOHN TYLER CHRISTOPHER cover C JOHN TYLER CHRISTOPHER OCTOBER 5 32 PAGES / FC / T+ $3.99 THE DECISION! It all comes down to this! The Survivor’s plan has come to fruition. All thirteen Artifacts and their bearers are in their fated place. The stakes are simple – the very fate of the Top Cow Universe. And the only question that remains is, will either Jackie Estacado or Sara Pezzini doom the world as Tom Judge predicted? Legendary special guest artist DALE KEOWN (THE DARKNESS/PITT, Hulk) joins Top Cow Universe architect RON MARZ to bring fans an event conclusion they will never forget! PLUS: Each issue will also feature an Artifacts: Origin story written by RON MARZ and drawn by a guest superstar artist. Can&#8217;t. Wait.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently released on DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Copy/On Demand/LP/8-Track/Stone Tablet/Whatever is the newest animated feature from DC&#8217;s line of DTV flicks, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Despite there being a pretty great Green Lantern: First Flight movie released in 2009, this film doesn&#8217;t tie into that one, and attempts to try to fit them in the same continuity are, essentially, futile.  This seems more intended to be a tie-in to the upcoming live action movie, featuring many of the same characters that are prevalent, such as Sinestro and Kilowog. Emerald Knights isn&#8217;t like First Flight in that it isn&#8217;t one story.  Much like Batman: Gotham Knight, Emerald Knights is a series of different stories, some original, others adapted from the comics.  Unlike Gotham Knight, however, the animation style is relatively consistent throughout the film, so you don&#8217;t get the jarring change in styles from one story to the next.   There six stories in Emerald Knights, The First Lantern, which really is more about the first Green Lanterns, but is actually one of the standouts of the movie.  The set pieces are extremely well done, and the action is intense. Abin Sur, which is essentially a tale of Abin Sur and Sinestro hunting down Atrocitus.  Not bad, and fans will enjoy the tie-ins to the comics. Laira, the weakest of the bunch, where the titular character returns home to find that her family has taken a tyrannical rule over the planet.  A pretty stellar fight sequence, but that&#8217;s about all there is to it.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Licensing Expo 2011 is currently going on in Las Vegas and, courtesy of Bleeding Cool, we get our first (kinda blurry) peek at the Avengers from the upcoming Joss Whedon movie. Thor and Black Widow look, essentially, the same, but I do notice some subtle changes on the Captain America and Iron Man costumes (more gray on the Iron Man suit).  Mark Ruffalo&#8217;s Hulk and Jeremy Renner&#8217;s Hawkeye, as expected, look more like their Ultimate Universe counterparts.  What do you guys think?]]></description>

Just as they touched down, one of the prisoners threw up, spewing sour bile across the deck. Casey felt ten feet tall and bulletproof, intoxicated with potency, as if with a casual wave of her hand she could reduce Mardmor&#8217;s entire Gateway Engine to a heap of inert rubble.  She turned to Alseyne and Pip … and her words of gleeful triumph died on her lips as she saw their hollow-eyed exhaustion.  They looked half-dead on their feet.  For the first time it penetrated her power-soaked mind what this link was costing them &#8212; she realized that their very lives were being drained from them through it. Realized … and wanted to hold onto it anyway.   How else could she stop the Machine?  How else would she be strong enough to save the world?  Surely that was worth sacrificing a few lives for? It hit her hard, then.  She was using Mardmor&#8217;s own reasoning now: taking away others&#8217; right to make their own choices, in the name of a &#8216;greater good.&#8217;  Sacrificing them to her cause, just as Mardmor would have sacrificed them to his.

		<description><![CDATA[So as you&#8217;ll soon discover in the KNIGHTS OF REIGNSBOROUGH episodes that started today is that one of the delays was caused by switching from the old DC Heroes/Blood of Heroes system to a the more gameplay/actual play podcast friendly Savage Worlds rule system.  We&#8217;re big fans of Savage Worlds, and I think you&#8217;ll find that it makes for a much more interesting listening experience. Of course, all of our character stats had to be redone using the Savage Worlds Explorer&#8217;s Edition, as well as the Super Powers Companion.  Check out the resulting character sheets below, as well as a blank character sheet to design a KOR character of your own (which will play into a contest coming up)! The Coyote Hair Trigger Ricochet The Necropath Or, design your own character with this blank character sheet! Knights Unite!]]></description>

Don’t know who the KNIGHTS OF REIGNSBOROUGH are, or been a while since you listened to season one?  Get caught up this week with the original episodes, as well as checking out some added goodies (new character art and character sheets for all the playable characters)! Today’s featured episodes are VII and VIII, where we bring you the Zero Issue for Knights of Reignsborough.  This special issue zero acts as introduction to three of the four main characters of the series.  Where were they on the day the world changed?  A special Point One issue is forthcoming introducing a new Knight. Then, in episode VIII, we discuss special house rules designed to support the style we’re wanting to foster and create the environment for authentic comic character development.  We explore the core concept mechanic.  These concepts guide their respective characters and provide a metric by which they are judged, rewarded or punished as appropriate.

Today’s featured episodes are V and VI, where, in addition to fleshing out the player characters with back-story and supporting cast, we explore story boundaries.  What’s fair game in terms of encroaching on core character concepts?  What’s off-limits?  Are there different rules for different players?  We talk it all out. Then, in episode VI, we get down to the nuts and bolts of statting out characters.  And as in all character generation sessions, we chase rabbits, but in so doing, we learn.  Full character sheets will be released this Friday after the release of the new episode!

		<description><![CDATA[Not the official title, mind you.  But, as previously speculated, FLASHPOINT IS PRETTY FRIGGIN BIG, and the entire DC Universe is going back to #1 starting this September, as officially revealed to USAToday.  The first book out of the gate?  Justice League #1, by the incredible team of Geoff Johns and Jim Lee.  Some important points? This doesn&#8217;t sounds like a renumbering &#8230; it sounds like a RESTART.  Specifically noted is that Lee redesigned over 50 characters, and that characters will be reimagined with more modern takes. Per Dan Didio, &#8221;This was a chance to start, not at the beginning, but at a point where our characters are younger and the stories are being told for today&#8217;s audience.&#8221; DC is going LINEWIDE Day-And-Date digital distribution. There will be 52 first issues in September. DC has no current plans to undo this change.  This is for real. I would like to note how young Superman looks (actually, they all do) in the graphic above from the new JL title.  Perhaps younger and unmarried?  Just sayin&#8230;suck it Wayne! UPDATE: Full JLA art revealed, and more info on some of the new titles/creative teams here and here.]]></description>

Alseyne and galbro McAdoo stood close, warding her anxiously; the rest of her allies were still embroiled in battle. The enemy troops had crowded onto the platform, cutting off the escape route onto the catwalk. As her sense of communion with the amulet drained away Casey grimaced, realizing that she&#8217;d forgotten to ask about healing her shoulder.  Too late now; no telling how long they had until those aether cannons fired. &#8220;I know where the tailpipes are,&#8221; she said at once to Alseyne. &#8220;Now all we need are some bananas.&#8221; &#8220;Slight change of plans,&#8221; Alsyne said. &#8220;We can&#8217;t retreat, so we need to go over the rail.&#8221; She looked at the young woman soberly for a moment before turning back to guard against enemy attack, her sword ready. &#8220;Casey &#8230; if all of us who are conscious can lend you strength, is there any possibility that can you take all of us at once? Or most of us at least? We&#8217;ve got to get as many safely off as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Both the princess and the troll were soaked in gore. Pip and Wynne were organizing the folks on the control station platform. More than half the freed prisoners had been lost. The catwalk was full of guardsmen coming from either side. Dozens and dozens &#8230; a hundred or more all told? Not just Redcaps now; Changeling soldiers of every kind were charging to their King&#8217;s defense. Some carried the strange clockwork firearms, but most fought with the usual blades and blunt instruments. Andali had done an admirable job rendering the Machine&#8217;s control panel to a pile of debris. It was unlikely that anything there was functioning &#8230; or able to affect the Machine. Focused on Mardmor&#8217;s apparent death and on his awakening Machine, Casey was easy prey for the Eshu guardsman that swept in from her left. With a quick snap he sent the Adamas blade flying from her hand, disarming her. Just as fast, his sword slashed to the right chewing deep across her chest &#8212; lancing her with white hot pain!

		<description><![CDATA[Gosh dang, I love the Call of Duty games.  I wasn&#8217;t really into the series when it started, but got into it right before Black Ops, the most recent game, was released, and picked up Modern Warfare 2, one of the series most popular entries.  Polished and action packed, the Call of Duty games are far from realistic, and feel like playing the video game equivalent of a Michael Bay movie.  This new movie&#8230;er game looks freakin&#8217; insane!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a recent episode of Funnybooks, I complained bitterly about how DC was handling Flashpoint, their new big summer event book.  Though the book is only 5 issues long, there are TWENTY three-issue tie in mini-series that take place in the world of Flashpoint, as well as three tie in issues of Booster Gold. Then I crunched some numbers after looking at August solicits.  When Flashpoint ends at the end of August, if you&#8217;ve purchase EVERY single issue and tie in comic, you&#8217;ve spent, roughly, about $220 bucks.  Sounds like a lot of money, right?  I mean, not that you have to buy the tie ins, of course, but if you wanted to, it&#8217;s a big commitment.  Then I checked out Marvel&#8217;s Fear Itself event which, come the end of August, again, if you buy every single issue of every tie-in and the main series itself?  Well, it&#8217;ll run you over $300&#8230;and that&#8217;s just with what&#8217;s solicited (there are still two more months after that). Ouch.  So&#8230;maybe I was a little hard on the way DC is handling FlashPoint.  After all, it&#8217;s not like you have to read the tie in books, or even Flashpoint, as it doesn&#8217;t crossover into any of the monthly books, unlike Fear Itself, which crosses into almost every Marvel book (except Amazing Spider-Man and FF, really&#8230;but they get tie in minis). Not only that &#8230; I enjoyed the hell out of Flashpoint #1, and am really interested in the world it portrays.  Those not picking....]]></description>

The Goblin King snatched the blade from the air and in pure Lo Pan style, he sent the blade hurtling back at Alseyne. Had she not stepped away immediately after casting the dagger, Mardmor&#8217;s return of it would have caught her in the forehead. She glanced around the deck and quickly grabbed up one of the strange clockwork firearms that the latest batch of guards had carried, checking to make sure it was still loaded. Pip knocked an advancing guardsman in the head just as Wynne slit another&#8217;s throat. &#8220;They&#8217;re breaking through the line!&#8221; the sluagh called out. The satyr nodded, casting a glance at Alseyne. &#8220;We have to fall back. Consolidate here on the platform. We hold &#8216;em here. Or it&#8217;s all over. Alseyne&#8230; whatever ya&#8217;ll are doing over there, make it quick. I haven&#8217;t seen this many Kithain in one place since Scarborough Faire!&#8221; McAdoo took the Guardian blade in the gauntlet while facing to cover Casey&#8217;s back. His bare free hand on her shoulder, &#8221; Strength. &#8221; She felt the infusion of will from the garou, and felt the barrier grow that much stronger.  &#8220;We might be able to stop him,&#8221; she muttered quietly, &#8220;but who&#8217;s going to stop....]]></description>

She dropped her shield.  Sent a brutally hard telekinetic blow square into the chest of their erstwhile ally, the blue troll. Yggthor grunted, only momentarily slowed from his mission, but it provided Casey the moment she needed to slip past and bolt to the rail. Whatever Mardmor intended to do, it suddenly seemed to her of primary importance that he not succeed in doing it. &#8220;Can he power the machine with his own soul?&#8221; Korin wondered aloud. &#8220;How close was it to being fully powered? We can&#8217;t let anyone in this room die!&#8221; &#8220;Tell them that!&#8221; Elijah complained as he climbed to his feet just in time to slap down one of the guardsmen dropping from the level above. The first nine had reached the control panel. Andali had apparently been freed from her floating immobility, maybe when the mage had vanished. Standing on the deck now she looked out among the people fighting and yelled, &#8221; The Machine cannot be harmed by magics of any sort. It feeds upon enchantments, spells, cantrips. It has to be stopped with weapons. &#8221; &#8221; Pull Plug! &#8221; McAdoo barked. &#8221; Trip safety! Nockers! Turn Machine OFF! &#8221; No....]]></description>

Why haven&#8217;t they returned to visit him? What&#8217;s become of the symbol of Superman in the future? And just why is the future so dangerous for Superman? They warned him away, but now he&#8217;s determined to help his friends &#8212; even if it means his life! This contest is for the Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes trade paper back.  How do you win it? In the comments, tell us what your Legion Super-Hero name would be!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Odin&#8217;s Beard! One of the most acclaimed runs on Marvel&#8217;s Thor title in recent years is the one written by J. Michael Straczynski, with art by Olivier Coipel, and Marku Djurdjevic.  Featuring Asgard  coming to Oklahoma, and Thor resurrecting his fallen brethren after Ragnarok, the stories presented by JMS and team still are having huge impacts on the Marvel Universe! This contest is for the first TWO volumes of JMS&#8217; run on Thor, collecting Thor #1-601 (there was a numbering change in there &#8230; you don&#8217;t actually get 601 comics).  Fantastic read! How do you enter?  Well, in the talkback below, all you have to do is tell us, if you were an Asgardian god, what would you be god of?  Good luck!]]></description>

With no training whatsoever, guided by the spirit of his secret-agent brother, Daniel must now solve his brother&#8217;s murder and save the world &#8211; or die trying! It all starts here, people: Witness the birth of HAUNT! This contest is for the first six SOLD OUT issues of Image Comics&#8217; Haunt!  How do you enter? In the talkback below, tell us your favorite ghost story (you can &#8220;Cliff Notes&#8221; it for us, or link to it)!  One lucky winner will be chosen at random to receive the first arc of Haunt!

		<description><![CDATA[This Saturday, after you sleep in a little bit to recover from all the awesome of seeing Thor on Friday, make sure to eat your Wheaties and get your ass out to your Local Comic Shop for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!  Yes friends, the greatest day of the year, the first Saturday in May, is HERE!!!!  (well, second greatest day, really, after Free Funnybook Day, coming next Monday!) All week on IoM, we’re going to give advance reviews of some of the mostly hotly anticipated comics this Saturday and let you know which ones are worth checking out, or which ones might be better left for other fans. Atomic Robo has become not only a mainstay of FCBD these last couple of years, it&#8217;s also become one of the books I look forward to the most every year.  From Red 5 Comics, Atomic Robo tells the story of Robo and his group of Action Scientists that travel the world and go on adventures in science.  Each mini-series jumps to a different time period in Robo&#8217;s life with the most current, Atomic Robo and the Deadly Art of Science taking place in the 1930&#8242;s. Atomic Robo&#8216;s FCBD issue takes place in modern times and features Robo as the guest judge at a science fair that gets crashed by&#8230;wait for it&#8230;.DR. DINOSAUR!  Yes, Dr. Dinosaur, who&#8217;s been Robo&#8217;s most popular enemy with fans makes another hilarious appearance in this pretty awesome comic book.  It&#8217;s a short read, but it&#8217;s a helluva lot of....]]></description>

All week on IoM, we’re going to give advance reviews of some of the mostly hotly anticipated comics this Saturday and let you know which ones are worth checking out, or which ones might be better left for other fans. I&#8217;m going to admit, first and foremost, I&#8217;m not familiar with the universe portrayed in Elric: The Balance Lost, from Boom! Studios and based on the popular character created by Michael Moorcock.  The FCBD comic, from the creative team of Chris Roberson and Francesco Biagini, seeks to correct this by creating, essentially, an entry point into the world of Elric, explaining the character and the dynamics of his world, as well as showing the comics history of the character, and a sketchbook of designs for the series. Even then though, I couldn&#8217;t get into Elric: The Balance Lost.  That&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s bad.  The art is quite good, and I&#8217;m sure the story could appeal to fans of this world.  However, I&#8217;m just tired of the usual tropes of sword and sorcery comics, and the old English used in so many of them.....]]></description>

Blue lightning thundered forth from Mac&#8217;s gauntlet, striking the Goblin King in the center of the chest. &#8220;Arr!&#8221; Mardmor stumbled back, swearing, and Yggthor charged in. Axe flashing, he hewed a massive chunk from the Goblin King&#8217;s side. Casey hung back, taking a moment to assess the damage to her shoulder.  The thick leather of her jacket was burned away, the flesh beneath hideously seared.  It hurt like hell.  She needed to heal it, but that would have to wait. The sorcerer shoved Korin aside and quickly came to a knee. &#8220;The flavor of this arrangement is no longer to my taste,&#8221; he said to the ailing Goblin King. &#8220;αντίο!&#8221; The staff-wielder dissolved into the air.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Saturday, after you sleep in a little bit to recover from all the awesome of seeingThor on Friday, make sure to eat your Wheaties and get your ass out to your Local Comic Shop for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!  Yes friends, the greatest day of the year, the first Saturday in May, is HERE!!!!  (well, second greatest day, really, after Free Funnybook Day, coming next Monday!) All week on IoM, we’re going to give advance reviews of some of the mostly hotly anticipated comics this Saturday and let you know which ones are worth checking out, or which ones might be better left for other fans. Today&#8217;s focus is Radical Comics&#8217; Jake the Dreaming, another all-ages friendly title for this year&#8217;s FCBD.  This one, however, is a little different than a regular comic, in that it&#8217;s actually a preview of an illustrated novel.  So, as opposed to a regular comic, you&#8217;re getting a prose book, with illustration throughout.  And boy&#8230;that illustration is BEAUTIFUL.  Jake the Dreaming is absolutely gorgeous, and will make for a great visual piece when the full book releases. As for the story?  Well, Jake the Dreaming tells the tale of a young boy living in the town of Slumberton, &#8220;population 5,000 and boring. Every day during his mundane tasks of school, homework and chores, Jake falls into daydreams powered by his imagination of untold adventure where he battles fantastic creatures in an epic dreamscape. Life is normal for imaginative Jake until Slumberton&#8217;s children start falling into....]]></description>

All week on IoM, we&#8217;re going to give advance reviews of some of the mostly hotly anticipated comics this Saturday and let you know which ones are worth checking out, or which ones might be better left for other fans. First up?  Super Dinosaur Origin Special, Image&#8217;s offering.  From the Astounding Wolf-Man creative team of Robert Kirkman and Jason Howard comes this family-friendly tale of a boy and his best friend&#8230;a missile-shooting super-powered talking dinosaur!  It&#8217;s important to note that, if you&#8217;ve already purchased Super Dinosaur #1, this is not a reprint of the material from that book.  It&#8217;s a wholly original tale, and goes in depth on the origins of the main characters of the book (moreso than you even get from the first issue, actually). Super Dinosaur is really going to be entertaining to you if you dig the core concept of the book.  It&#8217;s clear from page one that this is intended not only for all ages, but with a definite bend towards children.  The word &#8220;Awesome&#8221; is used every couple of sentences, and&#8230;well, it&#8217;s a story about a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting to Blackthorne’s office had proven easier than expected.  The asylum was empty.  There wasn’t a soul to be found.  Still, Bartleby ducked behind every corner, peeked out before he entered any hallway.  As he neared Blackthorne’s office, he could hear screaming from outside.  He turned to look out of a nearby window. Someone had opened the front doors of the asylum, letting all of the inmates out.  They were running wild in the tall grass outside.  They wouldn’t make it far.  The ScareCrows leapt from their perches along the outer asylum walls and bore down on the escapees, quickly subduing them.  It was mass pandemonium outside as the inmates screeched in terror, desperately trying to get past the Scarecrows.  You don’t get past the Scarecrows. That was Carnage’s plan – release the inmates to cause the distraction topside, and escape from the subway beneath the asylum.  If they were free, it meant Bartleby didn’t have much time left to stop the escape. He entered Blackthorne’s office and saw his clothing sitting on a nearby chair.  The office was an absolute mess.  Papers were strewn all over, dirty words painted on the wall, furniture overturned…he cracked a smile when the thought came to him of Thomas Blackthorne having to clean up all of this mess.  Alas, no time for daydreaming. He quickly changed into his trusty coat and patted his fedora on tightly.  He checked to make sure his revolver was still loaded, and then tucked it into its holster.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I loooooove me some Need for Speed. That being said, the fact that Shift 2, a more simulation-based racing game, was the only NFS game being released this year had me a little bummed.  I mean, sure, I still haven&#8217;t finished Hot Pursuit, the AWESOME recent entry in the franchise that reinvigorated the series, but NFS, for me, has always been a mix of arcade and simulation, with a definite emphasis on running from the cops.  Then, I saw this on IGN: While not much has been released about the game yet (apparently the trailer leaked from a retailer website, and EA wasn&#8217;t ready to announce the game), it seems as if it&#8217;ll be pretty sweet.  Now, NFS hasn&#8217;t had too much success with it&#8217;s &#8220;story-based&#8221; entries &#8230; so let&#8217;s hope for the best when this one comes out later this year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, two recent announcements have me a little concerned/happy.  Well, one has me downright sad.  It seems as if Scott Snyder&#8217;s AWESOME arc on Detective Comics is coming to an end after ten issues (see Newsarama).  This is the first time I&#8217;d read that his run was actually limited.  Not only that &#8230; only ten issues?  That means his run on &#8216;Tec is going to be over before he finishes his limited series Gates of Gotham. And that we&#8217;re going to be getting yet another creative team on the title, despite the fact that Snyder and Jock (and Francesco Francavilla) are doing a stellar job.  That&#8217;s a damn shame &#8230; I hope they&#8217;ll be sticking with the Bat-family. Not only that, two Batman titles (in fact, the two ones with Bruce Wayne) are getting new artists.  After numerous delays and an inability to stay on time, Batman: The Dark Knight (who&#8217;s FIRST issue wasn&#8217;t even on time) will have art chores taken on by Jay Fabok, of Superman/Batman and Soulfire.  And Batman Incorporated&#8216;s art chores are being taken over by Chris Burnham, after delays by artist Yanick Paquette.  Still not sure if either title has the writing quality to keep me interested, though, which is a shame. After a pretty awesome three-parter, Pete Tomasi and Patrick Gleason are making way for a three-parter on Batman and Robin by Judd Winick and Guillem March.  Will Tomasi and Gleason come back after?  No one&#8217;s saying.  But recent rumors are saying that Greg....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Without thinking, Bartleby jumped forward, knocking Cassius Carnage off of his feet.  Carnage was a sorcerer, born with a powerful supernaturability, and giving him any amount of time to think would be a mistake. They rolled to the ground, and Bartleby punched Carnage across his face, feeling the sting of his hot skin across his knuckles.  Carnage kicked himself free and Bartleby tucked his hand beneath him, swerving his legs across the ground and kicking his opponent across the jaw.  Carnage reeled back, far out of reach.  Too far. Bartleby tried to jump forward, but he had hesitated a moment too long.  Carnage lifted a hand in the air, and Bartleby stopped, hovering just above the ground, immobile. “So what I’ve heard about you is true,” Carnage said, wiping his lip as he smiled.  “Always bringing a pair of fists to a magic fight.  Tsk tsk…” He walked over to a nearby table.  Bartleby struggled to move, but he knew it was pointless.  Carnage was powerful, and whatever had been keeping him in check in the asylum was obviously no longer working.  He watched as Carnage took a knife from the table and examined it.  The hilt was made of iron, and the blade itself was black.  It looked ancient. Bartleby couldn’t even move or scream to acknowledge the pain as Cassius Carnage jabbed the knife into his stomach.  Visions flooded him, flashes of the Second World, then back to the train car, as the green orb dimmed and everything....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So national booksellers Barnes and Noble have announced that they will be expanding their comic selection, starting in June, to include single issue comics (and not just the couple of books).  Barnes and Noble “will begin carrying both Marvel and DC Comics titles that until now have only been available in comics specialty stores.”  Not only that, but they’ll “also have new assortments from such publishers as Dynamic Forces, so series like the popular Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin, The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris will come straight to your store.” They’re going for it in a big way too, creating new layouts for the stores participating in the change, and hoping to become “the destination for comics lovers.” Not currently answered by anything I’ve seen online is whether there will be delay from direct market, as there was previously when booksellers sold comics.  You couldn’t find the NEWEST issue of Spider-Man on the stands until about 3 or 4 weeks after it was released to comic shops.  If they meet day-and-date demands (and, I&#8217;d imagine, with higher orders than your local comic shop), while this may be good for the comics , how will it fare for comic shops?  After all, if you&#8217;re a Marvel/DC guy (not interested in independents), and your comic shop is El Camino Comics (like Andrew&#8217;s shop, that can&#8217;t even seem to keep Amazing Spider-Man in stock), would you rather go to Barnes and Noble? ....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are monsters beneath the earth. You cannot fight them. You cannot run from them. And they are closer than you think. In a forgotten corner of Northern England, between the rolling hills and tranquil dales nestles a village plagued by terrible secrets and subterranean horrors. Every 119 years the village of Manesty is torn apart, its inhabitants massacred. It happened in 1697. It happened in 1816. Now it’s 1935 and horrific events have been set in motion. Swimming through the soil beneath the village are loathsome creatures waiting, impatiently, to rise above the earth and reclaim the land they believe is theirs and kill anyone who stands in their way, including the Investigators. However, as with all the best Mythos adventures, not all is as it seems. The Investigators must uncover the mystery that has killed many and doomed others in the tiny village while struggling to keep their lives and the last vestiges of their sanity intact. Your Funnybooks hosts Aron and Paulie gamed with Thistledown John (who also ran the excellent In The Grip of the Netherking) in this Purist scenario for Trail of Cthulhu, and we had a blast.  The story is creepy and interesting, and our faked English accents?  Well&#8230;you have to hear them.  Keep in mind that this was played in slot 5 of FtC4, and as such, there was a TON of background noise, as the kitchen kept running out of food.  Still &#8230; definitely worth a listen for AP enthusiasts.  Check it....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Holy hell yeah, this looks awesome.  I mean, where can you get Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michael Rooker, Danny Trejo, and Robert Englund in the same place fighting zombies, led by George A. Romero?  Well, right here: That&#8217;s right!  Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation (coming to Xbox Live on May 3 and PSN sometime after that) features a zombie level entitled CALL OF THE DEAD, featuring the actors listed above taking on a cargo ship full of zombies in a story inspired by George Romero (hopefully good George Romero, and not his last couple of films). More info here.  You can be damn sure I&#8217;m going to be picking this bad boy up!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite my love for BBC’s programming (though I’ve sadly missed the majority of the latest season of Primeval), I’ve never, in my life, seen a single episode of Doctor Who. I’ve always been curious about it, but, for no particular reason, just never got around to watching the damn thing, despite everyone telling me how great it was. I know that the guy who plays the Doctor swaps out every couple of years (though I’m not clear as to if it’s written that way, or if it’s just actors moving on to new things), and that the newest Doctor is played by Matt Smith, who I’m not sure if the fans love or hate (I guess it depends on the fan). I also know that the last season was run by Steven Moffat, taking over for longtime showrunner Russell T Davies, and that Moffat also created the latest BBC series Sherlock, also something I’ve wanted to see but just haven’t gotten around to. Well, Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott talked me into watching Doctor Who. The guy (Slott, not Who) camped out ALL DAY to watch the premiere of the show in a movie theater, along with hundreds of other fans. I mean, I can’t think of a single TV show I’d do that for … sure, maybe a new Star Trek show or maybe even the premiere of Supernatural, but even then, only if the cast and crew would be there. But there aren’t a ton of TV shows....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most impressive things about Pinnacle’s Savage Worlds (in addition to how just simply entertaining the system is) is that not only are their products generally impressively professional, with excellent layouts, editing, writing and art, but also the products from third party companies that utilize Savage Worlds are equally professional.  The products Misfit Studios creates exemplify this dedication to quality.  After reading some of their previous offerings, I was eager to get the chance to read more and five new offerings I was able to read did not disappoint. The first of these products was 10 More Fantasy Traps. Traps are a staple of many fantasy games and this product (and I assume the previous Fantasy Traps offering) brought this staple to life in the Savage World’s game system.  These rules included everything a Game Master needs to include traps in his game, including rules for Stealth rolls for the traps to oppose the Notice checks of the characters trying to spot them and prices for various options for each trap allowing them to be tailored to the needs of the Game Master or player characters.  Many of the traps provided were standards of fantasy stories, like an Indiana Jones style rolling boulder or a spiked pit trap but others are more original.  These included a mirror that creates a Doppelganger that tries to kill the character, a magnetized floor to hold heavily armored characters in place, a ray room that takes the laser grids from just about....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So not many people know that, concurrent with production on Paranormal Activity 2, there was an alternative sequel being filmed in Japan, entitled Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night.  Released in November 2010, and directed by Toshikazu Nagae, the film follows a brother and sister in Japan who are dealing with strange happenings very similar to those from the American movies.  Pretty odd, huh?  Well, it&#8217;s an officially sanctioned sequel! In Tokyo Night, a young man named Koichi is welcoming his sister back from her trip to America.  While  she was there, she was in a car accident that left both of her legs broken.  Their father heads out on a business trip, and, not long after, the strangeness begins. With &#8220;two bedrooms&#8230;twice the fear,&#8221; does Tokyo Night live up to the standards set by the American films? The main issue with Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night is that, once you&#8217;ve seen something twice&#8230;well, the third time feels a little stale.  Let&#8217;s be honest, Paranormal Activity 2 was almost exactly the same movie as the first with some slight tweaks.  Oddly though, it was still supremely effective, and genuinely scary.  While Tokyo Night doesn&#8217;t fare quite as well as PA2, it&#8217;s also pretty effective, and the tweaks are just enough to make a difference, even when you&#8217;re wondering if you&#8217;re essentially just watching a remake of the original. And, despite the fact that we&#8217;re dealing with siblings instead of a couple, that&#8217;s pretty much the case.  The film repeats almost every incident of....]]></description>
