I entered the medical bay as a table slid out of the opposite wall. “If you can place your right arm on the table, I will make it so that we can maintain contact while you are not on board. If you were a stronger telepath, this would not be necessary.” “Why thank you for pointing out one of my shortcomings. What next, I have a bad haircut or halitosis?” “I am merely providing an answer to this troublesome problem. I will still be stuck here in the hangar bay but will be able to access the wave and pull data for you. If I am able, I will also slice the security feeds which will allow me to exert some minor control of station systems.” “Aren’t you just the handy one. An eye in the sky is a good thing to have. Just don’t put yourself at risk. I don’t want to lose you.” “Duly noted.” I place my arm on the table which emits a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I saw that there was going to be another movie made of The Great Gatsby, I was content. This is one of my favorite books of all time and seeing it on the big screen would be something I was sure to enjoy. When I found out that this movie was to be directed by Baz Luhrmann, I was filled with joy. I am highly enamored of both Moulin rouge and Romeo + Juliet. The Great Gatsby could only benefit from his unique aesthetic. Before I tell you about my thought on the movie I wanted to share with you an observation about both the movie and the book from John and Ro Wick.  They call it, &#8220;A beautiful mirror that reflects ugly things.&#8221; I find this a very fitting description and had to share it. The movie left me with mixed emotions. What I expected from Baz Luhrmann was delivered. He took the evocative passages from the book and translated them lovingly to the screen. There is the scene where Carraway is issued into a room to meet his cousin. The description of the room and how Daisy and Jordan are lounging is something palpable to me. This same scene on the big screen is pure magic. It is very much how I imagined it while reading. The feeling of dissolute debauchery that radiates throughout the novel is carried over well to the screen. From the large lavish parties filled with everything one can desire to the sordid....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My comics reading has a definite super hero bent.  If I go off book, my tendency is to head towards fantasy or science fiction. The crime genre really isn&#8217;t even on my radar when I am browsing at my local comic shop. I have to thank Aron for changing my perspective on this. He provided me with Volume two of Thief of Thieves. Before the howls of nerdrage begin, I am aware I am not starting at the beginning. I have never had the need to start at that point. My gestalt is strong enough that I fill in the blanks to make the reading easy. When I go back to the beginning, I am pleasantly surprised when things I had filled are true or handled even better. This story arc begins as Conrad&#8217;s son, Augustus, has been rescued from several jobs gone wrong. He is not as good a thief as his father.  Their first section of the story is entitles Free but not clear. We get to watch as the botched job just keeps coming back to haunt Augustus. The cops make sure they know they are watching him. The cartel he was working for want their money and are willing to make him pay dearly for it. Conrad is struggling to make his retirement stick. The problem is that all the effort to keep his son free means that lots of people are owed. Their price is to keep him in the game. Asmus&#8217; storytelling flows very....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was perusing my list of books to read the other day and realized that the amount of science fiction on the list was really rather short. My tastes, as of late have tended towards the urban fantasy and paranormal romance genres. The few science fiction titles had been sadly dejected and I determined to correct this egregious error. The title on my list that really sparked my interest was God&#8217;s War by Kameron Hurley. I had to visit a few book stores before I finally found a copy and gleefully took it home to read. The book was wonderful. It is the gritty story of Nyx and her team as they are set up on the path to ferret out a deadly conspiracy. We are introduced to Nyx as she struggles to complete her latest job. She has lost everything in the pursuit of one boy that has fled the front lines. In a world ravaged by centuries of biological warfare, those that flee the front put whole nations at risk of contamination. Thus Nyx has sacrificed everything, even her womb, to catch this latest note. It is this last sacrifice that costs her the position in the Bel Dames, the Royal Assassins. What follows is the story of her rebuilding doing the only thing she knows how, bounty hunting. She builds a team and works hard to make everything work. Redemption is dangled before in a note from the Queen herself. If her team can find a missing alien and return her to the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome back to my serial science fiction story. Hopefully you are enjoying it so far. If you have questions or comments please feel free to leave them here or on Twitter. *** &#8220;Fuck!&#8221; The word is no sooner out of my mouth when the first barrage hits our shields. &#8220;Shields are at one hundred percent.&#8221; &#8220;That was just a warning shot. They are testing our defenses. Reduce life support to the rest of the ship and funnel the excess energy to the shields. Set up a cascading array that re-calibrates upon each hit. Use the standard fib-seq as I am stunted when it comes to shielding.&#8221; With a little mental flex, I slide gunnery on to my console. I drop out of the flight sequence and begin evasive maneuvers. Chikara is fast; faster than any ship I have ever had before. Staying between the pirates and their pray will be simple. My console shows the pirate&#8217;s sensors flashing across us as we skim around them. I settle into a course and hope that the shields are up for my bull-headed style of defense. They open fire a series of forward arc lasers. The shields don&#8217;t even register it as a hit. They spin ninety degrees and try to speed around my port side. I nudge the gravitic drives to keep Chikara and I out in front of the pirates. If they are going to be shooting at something; it will be something that can fight back. &#8220;Chikara, scan the other ship. Let&#8217;s....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[J Michael Straczynski. A name to conjure with in comics. the list of cool things he has created or had a hand in are lengthy. He created the popular sci-fi show Babylon 5. He has wrote both for Marvel and DC with definitive runs of both Spiderman and Superman. He had his own imprint at Image comics as well. Joe&#8217;s Comics is where he created such projects as Rising Stars and Midnight Nation. Straczynski has returned to his own imprint at Image with a book entitled Ten Grand. He answers the question, &#8220;What would you endure for just five more minutes with the one you love?&#8221; Before I talk about the story, I have to tell you about the tremendous cover done by Ben Templesmith. It features Joe, the main character of the book, staring out at the reader from his booth in a bar. It has a dirty and decrepit feel to it that definitely permeates the image. You get the feeling of a terrible weight is hanging about Joe as he sits there and stares out at you. Templesmith has added so much gravitas to that gaze that it just sucks you in.

		<description><![CDATA[Free Comic Book Day is one my favorite geek holidays. All the local comic shops get their groove on and put on a show for the crowds. The objective is to bring new readers to the hobby, energize those of us that read comics, and create new fans of both comics and comics shops. I am not going to deny the fact that this is a marketing angle. As a lover comics, it is one that I appreciate. It not only exposes new readers to the delights of these stories but also exposes current readers to new types of comics as well. There were well over fifty-two different titles on offer at my local comic shop. They ranged from offerings form both DC and Marvel to a book by Graphic India. This is quite range of tales being told and it made me happy to see such a diversity of options. Free Comic Book Day has a very festival feel to it. At my local shop, Comic Book World, they put on quite a show. They had the Pickled Brothers Circus there swallowing swords to the amazement of the audience. There were Roller Derby Women signing autographs and showing off their bruises. Also, no Free Comic Book Day would be complete with out a comic celebrity which was filled ably by David Mack. I had no time to enjoy the day. Other commitments made it impossible for me to spend more time than picking up my comics and seeing the festivities begin. The turnout was good....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Captain&#8217;s Journey is an ongoing story following the exploits of Captain Jaxx. This is the twelfth episode. If you are new to the story, you should start here. *** I stand before the ship in the cavernous hangar bay enveloped in silence. The only visible witness to what is occurring are the actinic lights that bathe the ship and I. &#8220;So Chikara, have you made a decision?&#8221; The silence following my question seems to last an eternity. My need for an answer is so strong that what takes seconds to pass seems like forever. &#8220;Yes, I have. I would like to travel with you Jaxx. The risks that come with this partnership are great but the adventures and exposure to new experiences easily outweigh them.&#8221; &#8220;Good! then let&#8217;s finish what we started yesterday and get off this rock and see what we are capable of!&#8221; I stride aboard Chikara. The sensations are expected and come much easier the second time around. Instead of a tool to be mastered, he is a partnered to be understood and supported. I gather up the information on his schematics and copy them to my quarters terminal for perusal offline when I have a full crew. I drop lightly into the the Captain&#8217;s chair overlooking the small bridge and watch as all the systems come alive. I process the various pre-launch operations and find a piece of interesting data. Under the manifest for the ship, I see listed a large quantity of Quarium. &#8220;Hey! I see we payload on board. I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What if the Manhattan Project had been just a front? What if it hid a whole host of more unusual projects that were better left unknown? What if everything went wrong? These are the questions that are answered in the pages of The Manhattan Projects by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra. I will admit that I did some eye-rolling when I picked up this book. I have not read the previous issues and had my doubts that I would be able to jump right in and enjoy it. I am a geek and seeing Enrico Fermi and Oppenheimer as characters in a comic certainly plays hard on those heart strings but I had no clue what direction it would take me. Fuck, this was a good book! This issues deals with Enrico Fermi, Harry Daghlian, and the success of the Manhattan Projects. The book opens with a conversation between Fermi and Daghlian about food. It quickly goes off the rails to a broader discussion about efficiency versus abundance. After wheeling about these philosophical heights, it is brought back to reality with the point that Daghlian just wants some ice cream. Hell, he even calls Fermi an ass for being so long winded and off topic when he just wants some food. Funny and poignant all at the same time. This  issue looks at these two characters both in the past and the future. We get to see how Daghlian became a radioactive skull and his relationship with Fermi. Despite the super science and weirdness that goes....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I will confess, I had never heard of Skullkickers until the guys on Funnybooks started talking about it a few episodes ago. They made it sound like a fun book that was full of tongue-in-cheek action. I have not a read a full-on fun book in quite some time. So, I gave The Might Skullkickers number one a try. The humor that I heard about starts off immediately with the gorgeous cover and the title itself. The dwarf is front-and-center, wreaking havoc with the title of the comic itself. It is a beautiful homage to the Walter Simonson Mighty Thor cover. The subtitle for this story arc is eighty eyes on an evil island of which this issue is part three.  Yes, you read that correctly, part three. For this story arc, they have done a number one for each issue with a different name. The first part was Uncanny Skullkickers followed by Savage Skullkickers. Zub and Huang are having a good time poking fun at the overblown titles that are found out in the comic wilds and are inviting us to join them in a good laugh at them. The jabs are never mean spirited though as the art on the overs are excellent renditions of these self-same comics. One of my favorite things from this issue is on the very first page where they point out this is part three and issue number one. They freely admit that they are horrible people which made me giggle. the story....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the tenth installment of Captain&#8217;s Journey, the continuing story of Captain Jaxx. *** The ship is a looming presence in the hangar. I stand here transfixed by anticipation. It runs through my body like an overdose of Thelaxian Spice. Every nerve in my body is firing at once but the fear of losing the feeling keeps me from moving even an inch. It has been over a year since I have been on a ship of any sort. I savor the feelings of anxiety and elation that a this new ship engenders. These emotions are tinged with fear as I do not know how this new facet of my existence will change the experience. I break the spell and take the few short steps to the bulkhead hatch. I lightly lay my hand on the security panel and feel the pulse of the ship as it scans my palm for the first time. The energy output is slight, yet it sends tingles up my arm and down my spine. The door slides open silently and a low warm light shines out from interior of the ship, welcoming. I step inside and feel a pressure that I hadn&#8217;t realized existed dissipate. The feeling of relief is almost indescribable. The fear and anxiety that been picking at the edges of my awareness fade under the onslaught of so much positive emotion. I stand there luxuriating in the feeling of having a ship once again. The hard edge of need, now blunted by....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Holy Fuck! This issue is like a punch to the gut, but in a good way. In case you are unfamiliar with Danger Club, let me provide some exposition. This is a world that once had heroes. They all left earth to fight a cosmic menace, and never returned. The heroes left their sidekicks behind in order to keep them safe. Safe is the one thing that these teen aged heroes aren&#8217;t. Like the issues prior issues, this one opens with an old school styled page. The clue for this issue is the time machine of the fiendish Dr Tik-Tok. The next page, though already shown from a different angle in a prior issue is the sucker punch. We get to see American Spirit, President of the Global United States addressing the lost sidekicks. He tells them that youth is no excuse for the actions that they have taken and that their is a price. This price is the execution of Kid Vigilante. This is one powerful page. We get to see the decrepit form of American Spirit ensconced in the White house. He makes his horrid pronouncement while the sidekicks huddle in hovels and other abandoned places. the page ends with the grisly execution leaving no room for doubts about what has happened. Despite knowing that it was coming, it was still a shock. After such a powerful page, I almost expect the rest of the issue to be let down. I am sorely mistaken as the hits just keep on coming. In prior....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome back to the continuing story to Captain Jaxx. Hope you are enjoying it so far. *** The silence of the hallway is oppressive. Where I expect a place full of sound and motion, I am greeted with a long expanse of gleaming metal. There are none of the background sounds that I have come to expect from an installation. There is normally the hum of power flowing through conduits and the trill of a computer somewhere off in the distance. It&#8217;s strident cry alerting everyone to its need for their attention. I step out into this wall of silence. A soft luminescence springs up from the floor and begins to pulse a few feet out from where I am standing.  Alone, but not unobserved, I take a few tentative steps along the corridor and watch as the light continues forward. Feeling more confident that I understand what is expected, I confidently stride deeper into the Kossun  outpost. The silence extends beyond the physical as well. Any place where sentient species congregate provides a warm blanket of minds to act as a buoy when everything else is bleak. I only know that there are beings here because HAL has told me as much. Their capabilities to shield their presence from even my casual awareness is astounding. That they are able to keep me from accessing the systems of the base is another prodigious feat. As a captain, I integrate immediately with a ship of any size unless forcibly ejected by another Talent similar....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On April 18, 1938, Action Comics #1 was released to comic book stands everywhere, and a legend was created. Well, two really. Both Superman and Lois Lane made their first appearances in that issue (now worth over a million dollars), and have been a part of international culture since. To celebrate, this coming Monday, we&#8217;ll be releasing the first episode of our new monthly podcast, Superman with Aron and Paulie, which will feature commentary on our favorite Superman media (the first episode is running commentary on &#8220;Last Son of Krypton,&#8221; the premiere 3-parter of Superman: The Animated Series), as well as reviews of our favorite Superman storylines. Tons of great Superman stuff coming to the site leading up to the release of Man of Steel this June. Also, listen to Superman with Aron and Paulie for a Superman-related contest! Today, take some time to read a bit about the Man of Steel in some of these great articles: Bleeding Cool Superman Homepage NY Times Newsarama, where the below infographic comes from…. How will you celebrate Superman today?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a lover of all things within the urban fantasy genre. The combination of fantasy tropes with modern sensibilities is something that has a deep resonance for me. I definitely read Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, and Kim Harrison but am always on the lookout for new entrants into this arena. One such new voice is  Doyce Testerman with his debut novel, Hidden Things. I picked the book up around the beginning of the year after reading the back blurb. It sounded like it shared some similarities with Gaiman&#8217;s American Gods which made it an easy purchase for me. It was not until this last weekend that I had some free time for reading. It was an hour long road trip to visit family and I finished the book on the way back home. It was captivating. Hidden Things is the story of Calliope Jenkins, a strong woman with a complicated life. She is a private detective who is awoken at one in the morning by a strange call from her partner. He lets her know that the case he is working on is not going how he expected. He wants her to let his wife know that he won&#8217;t be home as planned. In the light of day, things only get darker as it turns out her partner has been murdered. The only thing is that she has a message from him an hour after he is supposedly dead. This one strange item proves to be a gateway for Calliope as answering this....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have noticed that I am quite of fan of the independent project by Luke Keith and Jeremy Fiest entitled 7%. I&#8217;ve written a review of Issue 1 and Issue 2 which you should go check out. Luke and Jeremy were kind enough to sit down and answer a few questions for Ideology of Madness. Give it a read and then go pick up their comic, 7% 1. Tell us about your independent project and the process behind it? Luke: The name of this project is Seven Percent. It is a six issue comic mini-series developed by Jeremy Fiest and myself. I originally came up with the idea back in the summer of 2010, I spent a while working on the basic concepts before I went to Jeremy. By December of 2010 we had completed the first issue. Professionally, I write a lot of code, and if there&#8217;s something programming has taught me, it&#8217;s that everything must fit together and have a purpose. Every line of code has a reason for existing. In other words, if I create a story that takes place in a distant future where the human mind and technology can work harmoniously together, what are the implications? How can this technology be used and how can it be abused? What sort of conflicts might arise as a result? It&#8217;s important to me that the story I create does not conflict with itself or the rules of that universe. I am a an absolute stickler for this sort....]]></description>

Please feel free to leave comments or questions here or on Twitter. *** &#8220;I am Captain Theran Jaxx. I am forty years old.&#8221; The words seem to echo around my room. The mirror is cold and unresponsive. It just shows me what is reality despite what I wish otherwise. My frame still stands at a respectable six feet. My hair, once brown, now shows a healthy dose of grey at the temples. The body that fills out my flight suit is a bit of a shock though. Gone is the pot belly from living the life of a pirate captain. Musculature that had been hidden by layers of fat can now be seen. The incident with the bug-eyed monsters seems to have triggered some metabolic process which has transformed my body into something that coincides more with the weapon that I am. In my youth, I was athletic. I played whatever sport that was popular at the time. It was about being competitive and part of a group. The sport was irrelevant. The need to be a part of a larger group and help it excel was a natural side effect to my Talent. I had to say in good shape to make this happen. The transformation which has occurred puts that to shame. I would have worn this skin tight flight suit in spite of what it would have shown off before. Now, It showcases a body....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A warning, this review will be a little spoilery. When 7% came out last month from Red5 Comics, I was excited. Here was a comic with a science fiction bent that focused on the perfection of humanity through unlocking the full potential of the human brain. It hit on two things that I enjoy in science fiction, Hope and Psionics.  In that first issue we are introduced to a setting where thoughts are controlled by corporations which run everything for a monolithic government. The 7% is that last bit of brain that a scientist is trying to actuate with the hope that this would allow him and his people to free others from the yoke of oppression. The side effect of this procedure is the heightening of the human mind&#8217;s psionic capability. Squee! At the end of issue one, there were lots of interesting questions to follow. The one that I really wanted answered was who was this soldier and why did the symbiote respond to him? Issue two gives a good answer. We learn that the soldiers name is Cole. He is a musician and one of the sons of the head of Stone Corp. He has done his best to stay out of the corporate life and pursue his own agenda on a residential planet of Lux. It all comes crashing down when his father orders him to the company headquarters in no uncertain terms.  He has to leave behind the woman he loves and hopes to marry, for an uncertain future.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope you are enjoying Captain&#8217;s Journey thus far. Today is the seventh installment of the story. Please feel free to sound off in the comments or contact me on Twitter. *** &#8220;You are not a monster.&#8221; &#8220;Hal. If I am not a monster, then what am I? I chose to push forward and destroy every last living thing on that ship. I took the lives of my crew to do it and was going to do the same to the Albedo. What other name is there for me?&#8221; &#8220;Weapon. It is a simple word but it fits better than monster.&#8221; I stand up and begin pacing about the room. &#8220;A weapon does not go off on it&#8217;s own. It does not turn on those who may have created it. Monsters do that. There are thousands of stories where this is the formula.&#8221; &#8220;Jaxx, your knowledge of history and weaponry is very poor. Bombs are weapons that are dangerous to their creators at all times. They are still used by many primitive races throughout the galaxy and take their toll on their makers as often as their targets. Humans are also well known for their penchant for turning living creatures into weapons. There are ancient records indicating that cetaceans were trained to carry bombs for naval engagements. The horrors heaped upon these creatures didn&#8217;t end there either. Upon the discovery of water planets, they were engineered to become even more intelligent yet subservient to humans. They were the perfect army....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Occasionally the guys on Funnybooks will mention a comic that is damn good but will not talk about it much more after that initial introduction. Supurbia is one such book. I understand why this occurred though. The first volume of this book was a miniseries. It was an excellent story and well drawn. Listening to them talk about it made me go and pick up all the issues in volume one. I was really impressed. It took awhile for the book to begin releasing as a monthly so it dropped off the radar. It only returned to shelves a few months ago. What a return though! Supurbia, currently on its fifth issue, is written by Grace Randolph and tells the story of the Meta Legion. This team is this worlds version of the Justice League or Avengers. Instead of focusing on the bit set-piece fights with super villains, Randolph focuses more on the personal lives of the heroes and how this would affect these relationships. This is not a new take on the genre but Randolph&#8217;s story puts a unique spin on the tried and true. I get the feeling that she loves these types of characters as much as I do and has put a lot of care and attention is creating their story for our enjoyment. For me, both her love of these characters and powerful storytelling capabilities come through the strongest in the characters of Batu and Night Fox. Batu is a warrior women from a society that values the female....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a huge fan of the original Evil Dead series.  My dad introduced my brother and myself to them back when he owned a video store, and I have very fond memories of him bringing the movie home (and us later owning part 2 on VHS), and have seen that one, and of course Army of Darkness, more times than I can even remember.  But, at some point, I just kind of stopped watching them repeatedly.  I don&#8217;t know if I just got older, or they lost their luster, or the way that the career of Sam Raimi went just kinda soured me on them.  Regardless, it&#8217;s been years since I&#8217;ve seen any Evil Dead film, and the constant talk of sequels that went nowhere seemed like they were just cementing this as a dead franchise. When a remake was announced, I met it with a &#8220;meh.&#8221;  I mean, the original Evil Dead is a fantastic technical achievement given its low budget, but it&#8217;s hardly a good film.  Not only that, the &#8220;cabin in the woods&#8221; formula has been done to death since its release in 1979, to the point that its practically a parody of itself.  How would a remake of a trope (at this point) really be a good film in 2013? Especially one directed by someone I&#8217;ve never heard of and starring no one I&#8217;ve ever heard of? Well&#8230;it does it by being a DAMN good horror film, that&#8217;s how.  More after the jump. If you&#8217;re reading....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Closing Thoughts Based on the tone of these articles it should come as no surprise that Wizard World St. Louis was a resounding success in my eyes.  That doesn’t mean that everything was done right and that there is no room for improvement though.  The biggest disappointment about this convention was the lack of current comic talent.  With a few notable exceptions they were unable to get current creators and most of the panels being hosted were based on nostalgia and not current comic news.  I understand that Wizard and the big two are not on the best of terms and this certainly showed with their notable absence.  Besides the big two they also did not have presence from Image, Boom, or IDW.  I enjoy Indie comics and while having Big Dog Ink there was notable for me it is unlikely most attendees had ever heard of them. I am unsure if the prices of the concession were determined by the venue or by the convention planners, but they were unacceptably high.  I worked at a Six Flags as a teenager and do frequent movie theaters so I am no stranger to high price food and drinks.  Even I was unwilling to pay $5 for a 32oz fountain soda.  I refused to spend anything on concessions after seeing their price and from talking to other attendees I was not alone.  Local food chains within a few blocks of the convention center likely saw large increases in business during the convention.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Costume Contest The costume contest was one of the best organized and fastest moving I have been to.  There were approximately 200 contestants and the line to get into the room twisted around two halls.  Despite this once the contest started there was no delays.  The contestants were sent down the isles and told to stop and pose at three strategic locations allowing for the crowd to take up close pictures.  They were to watch the next square and move to it as soon as the person in front of them was done.  The final stop was on stage next to the judges. The judges each added to the entertainment of the contest.  They were Jason David Frank, Brimstone, Jesse Snider(son of Dee Snider from Twisted Sister), and a special guest from within the cosplay scene.  The host was Jerrie “The Diffuser” Crippen winner of the reality TV series “Stan Lee’s Who Wants to be a Superhero?” Season 2.  Crippen found a good balance of banter with the judges and contestants throughout the competition and made sure that the line was always moving.  With his direction they made it through all 200 contestants in just about an hour. Immediately after all contestants had been seen everyone was sent out of the room and encouraged to attend the after party.  The judges went through their notes and made their decision once the room was cleared and then Crippen announced the winners onstage at the party.  This allowed for a faster....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the next installment of Captain&#8217;s Journey. I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Here are links to the earlier installments. Bad Dreams Call the Question Dreams Remembered Desperate Measures Consequences *** I steel myself and sink back into the memory. I feel the chaos wash over me, I open my eyes. Everything is moving in slow motion as I take in all the information that I can now access. The bridge is awash in colors. I can see all the different systems of ship limping along with the small trickle of energy that is available. The damaged panels throwing off sparks are littering the air with sparkles that never quite go out. The data feeds that have been absent from my mind&#8217;s eye since the beginning of the attack are back, filled with more data than I have seen before.  Each member of the crew is now a separate entry. Not only can I see what their condition is, I can also see the full capabilities of their talent. Each barrier is annotated, mental or physical and whether this is something that I can overcome. Schematics, tolerances, molecular structures, and various pieces of relevant information are organized instantly for tactical use. A single mental command starts the dominoes falling. The schematics stored in the  data core of the ship allow me to restore the Tesla Drive and bring the shields back to full strength. Instead of dropping into slipspace, I divert the drives power through a shield array that I have reconfigured.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some times nostalgia will make one do bad things. I know this as I have seen many a movie purely for nostalgic reason. The first GI Joe movie is just such an act. I went to see it in the hopes of conjuring up those feeling from childhood of watching the cartoon and reading the comic books. In the end, I was disappointed. It shared very little in common with the these things other than the name the likeness of the characters. When they announced that they would be doping a sequel, I swore that I would not be that guy. They would not be getting my money this time. As time passed and news of who would be in the movie was released, my resolve wavered. I find it difficulty to resist an action movie that features Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson. When the trailers finally hit the interwebs, I was sold. There were tantalizing hints that the vehicles would actually resemble toys that I had as a child. Fuck Yeah! Last night; I paid my money, bought my bag of popcorn and tub of Coke Zero, and watched a damn entertaining movie. I will be honest, this is not high cinema. You will not come away with a greater appreciation for the human condition or weeping for the fine craft that is presented on the screen. What you will get are explosions, gun battles, and ninja fights. Really, what more could you ask for a movie entitled GI Joe: Retaliation.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Celebrities In the back of the Vendor Hall there was a section of tables with rope lines setup for Wizard World’s celebrity guests.  These tables were used for autographs and pictures were explicitly forbidden in this area.  Some of the celebrities also had paid meet and greet sessions as well as free Q&#38;A sessions.  There were also panels and events certain celebrities took part in.  The Celebrity list included: Stan Lee Lou Ferrigno(The Incredible Hulk) Dean Cain(Superman from The New Adventures of Lois and Clark) John Shea(Lex Luthor on The New Adventures of Lois and Clark) Billy Dee Williams(Lando Calrissian from Star Wars) Laurie Holden(Andrea on The Walking Dead) Jason David Frank(The original Green Power Ranger) Henry Winkler(The Fonz) James Hong(Big Trouble in Little China) James Marsters(Buffy, Angel, Smallville, Torchwood, Caprica, and the narrator of the Dresden Files audiobooks) Juliet Landau(Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Morena Baccarin(Serenity, V) Randy Orton(Professional Wrestler) Tom Felton(Harry Potter) Out of these one of the most popular guests was Jason David Frank.  Power Rangers will have their 20th anniversary this year so the demographic of children who were watching the show when it was first run are the perfect age to be convention attendees.  Jason David Frank has been a ranger on more seasons than any other actor and brought actual martial arts skills to a set of actors.  Since they did not have much footage of the original Green Ranger he also spent more time in costume than any other actor.  He almost single....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Vendor Hall and Artist Alley The Vendor Hall took up the three largest rooms in the Convention center combined.  The first section was dedicated to the ticketing area.  There were ques for regular tickets, press, VIP, Special tickets, and Groupons.  These lines were almost always empty as the staff worked very quickly to process everyone and get them into the hall.  The main hall opened up to a large selection of vendors.  Past the venders was Artist Alley, comic creator guests, and a stage for taking pictures with cosplayers.  Finally the back area of the hall was dedicated to the celebrity guests.  Each guest had a table with it’s own line for autographs and there was a photo opportunity area shared by all against the far wall.  Restrooms and food vendors lined the outer walls. There were a few vendors worth mentioning.  Big Dog Ink was handing out free first issues of two of their comic titles.  The Voltron Table overwhelmed me with nostalgia and had created custom USB keys shaped like the Lion Keys and loaded with Voltron digital media.  Brimstone comics were giving out samples of their BBQ and hot sauces and was manned by former professional wrestler Brimstone.  There was a table selling trades and hardbacks for $5, another table filled with quarter boxes, a Doctor Who booth, and more T-Shirts than I have ever seen in one place.    It took almost an hour to just walk the floor glancing at the tables not looking at....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First Impressions, Venue, and Logistics When I heard that St. Louis was getting a Wizard World convention I knew that I had to cover it for Funnybooks.  This was by far the largest comic book convention that St. Louis has hosted to date in regards to size and attendance.  Over the course of this week on the site I will be posting my coverage of this event with a new focus each day.  The short summery though is that the convention was a huge success with a very good turnout and they have just announced that it will return next year on April 4-6. This was my first time attending a convention at the America’s Center.  Wizard World St. Louis took up most of the first floor and the official after party took up a large section of the upper floor.  The venue has large open foyers outside of the vendor hall and event rooms so there was always a place to go if you were feeling crowded.  Restrooms were available both inside the dealer room and throughout the venue. Upon arrival I was met with a very long line in the hall.  I assumed that this was for people who still needed to get their tickets and continued on to the press booth.  This was the first thing that I will note that is different than any other convention I have attended.  They did not use the standard lanyards and badges that most conventions use, but instead used wristbands....]]></description>

If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the comments or send them to me on Twitter. *** &#8220;Mother-fucking asshole! The Terran League fucking lied to me! When I gained consciousness they told me he didn&#8217;t survive the crash!&#8221; &#8220;I am sorry you feel that way Jaxx. The doctor that spoke to you did not have all the information. He should have told you that no body was found for your son and there were signs that your ship had come under some sort of attack.&#8221; &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t someone tell me that some time after that? Why did you say the only way to cover all the procedures to get me back to health was to be work for the league on one of your ships? You fucking used me and used my son!&#8221; My vision is blurry from rage and tears as something cuts into to the feed. The image is dark and indistinct as if some filter is being used to keep the identity of the speaker obscured. The channel cracks and pops with static and the sound that issues forth from this intruder is harsh and guttural. &#8220;The terran ship Albedo will stand down. We will take the weapon that has been discovered and leave this sector. If, upon inspection, this weapon was created by the terrans as evidence indicates, we will retaliate.&#8221; My spittle hits the screen as I scream,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My reading for the past few months has been somewhat sporadic. I&#8217;ve kept up with my comics and graphic novels but have had little time to dedicate to my passion for science fiction and fantasy. I have been making an effort to carve out more time for reading and have recently finished The Apocalypse codex by Charles Stross. I have spoken about Stross&#8217; Laundry files here before. This newest addition to the series only further cements my love of this world and cast of characters. He blends lovecraftian mythos, spy thrillers, and office comedy into a captivating story that never loses site of the humanity of the characters. The Apocalypse Codex continues the story of Bob Howard, computational demonologist. The story opens as Bob is recovering from an operation that has gone bad. Stross feeds us the story through Bob&#8217;s memoirs and the reports of the other people involved in the event. Bob is on the fast track for promotion and has been assigned to External Assets. This is the department that handles jobs that would be embarrassing to Queen and Country but are outside the purview of the Laundry. Bob is given responsibility to oversee Persephone Hazard and Johnny McTavish as they investigate the evangelical american preacher Ray Schiller. The assignment is a test for Bob on many levels and we get to see how he reacts as everything goes pear shaped. The thing that I love the most about this series and this book in particular is that Bob is not a stagnant character.  In each book we get....]]></description>

If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the comments or send them to me on Twitter. *** The sound of retching cuts across the coms. It takes me a moment to put the pieces to together and realize that everyone that is conscious immediately checked the displays when they went live. What merely made me queasy is having a much more profound effect upon the rest of the crew. I scramble to the communications bay and quickly cut the visual feed to the rest of the ship. I snap my leg out to kick the med drone release mechanism and watch as the cloud of nanites descend upon Reyez to stabilize his injuries. &#8220;Farns! Are you still with me? Are you still up?&#8221; The sounds of my crew being sick are fading as whatever effect the sight of that alien ship fades. The seeming silence that follows is interminable in its length. &#8220;Oh God Oh God Oh God What the Fuck was that thing Jaxx! My fucking ears are bleeding and I still can&#8217;t see straight!&#8221; Farns&#8217; voice is cracking from the strain as it reaches several octaves higher than I thought possible for him. I struggle to keep my voice calm despite the panic that I feel. &#8220;Keep it together Farns! I need you. We all need you. Whatever is blocking my connection to the ship and to each other makes it so I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;What are we going to do tonight, Brain?&#8221; &#8220;The same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the World.&#8221; This conversation was running through my head the entire time I read Jennifer Steen&#8217;s Project Ninja Panda Taco. You may have heard of her as she is the mastermind behind the popular gaming interview podcast, Jennisodes. She has also made a guest appearance here on Ideology of Madness doing an episode of Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie discussing DC&#8217;s New 52. Project Ninja Panda Taco is her first game which was crowd-funded through Kickstarter Last year. Project Ninja Panda Taco is a storytelling game for 4 to 6 players. The players tell stories of minions, Masterminds, and outrageous plans to takeover the world. Each player has two roles. Their first role is that of Mastermind. A Mastermind&#8217;s job is to concoct their three part plan to take over the world and convince the minion to enact this plan. Since only one person can rule the world there are other Masterminds out there who will try to stop you. A nemesis will try to convince the minions not to help you thus making it possible for them to take over the world. As a Minion, your job is to help Masterminds enact their plan for world conquest and get shiny new tools for your tool belt. Game play is simple and straightforward. There are three rounds for each Mastermind. As stated above, they have to convince the minions to help them....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the third installment of Captain&#8217;s Journey. I hope you are enjoying the story. Let me know what you think in the comments or on Twitter. *** I take a deep breath and hold it. I wait until I feel my body rebelling at the torture that I am putting it through. I let it out and the tension in my back, shoulders, and neck slowly goes out with it. The release of the residual anxiety that was hiding in my muscles is a gentle relief on my body after the brutal episode just moments ago. I look about the room, which I now know is a somewhat sentient machine. I realize that I have given it a name without ever really asking it if it had one before it became my caretaker. Caretaker. One simple word yet so sobering to me. I&#8217;ve not needed taken care of in over a decade. The memories that are obscured are tantalizingly close to the surface now. I know I&#8217;ve been independent for at least a decade and this knowledge fills me with a sense of satisfaction. This knowledge is a warm feeling in the center of my being. Maybe I can just wait for things to take their natural course and I will regain all that I was, given time. My shoulders slump at the thought and I know that I can not allow this. I am not whole and I can&#8217;t stand not knowing. What hides in this shadow not....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a penchant for science fiction that deals with psionics in any fashion. From Joan D Vinge&#8217; Catspaw to White Wolf&#8217;s Trinity line of games, I am a fan. I had not been aware of any comics that were written in this vein until recently. Aron pointed out to me that Red 5 comics had just recently started a new book entitled 7% which may be well within my wheel house. I was unfamiliar with Red 5 comics and did some investigating. They were founded by Paul Ens, Formerly of Lucas films Lucas Online and Scott Chitwood, co-founder of TheForce.net. Their vision is to create and produce cinematic-style comics. They also try to stay on the cutting edge and do a lot of things with digital comics. All this seemed to indicate that a science fiction book from this company would be good so I gave it a chance. 7% is created by Luke Keith written by Jeremy Fiest. The story is set in the year 3499. MAnkind has spread out amongst the stars and and is controlled by the Union and various corporations. The earth is little more than a relic. A relic with a secret. 600 years prior a machince of enormous power was created. Instead of letting it fall into the hands of the Union, it was hidden by it&#8217;s creator. He died to protect his creation, The Psion Machine. The book opens with the discovery of the machine on earth which has also become the home of those....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second installment of the Captain&#8217;s Journey. *** I pull my knees up to my chest and wrap my arms around them. To release some of the emotion, I gently rock back and forth. In rhythm to the rocking, I work through a complicated series of slipspace coordinates to further calm my tempestuous emotions. It takes me a several minutes to staunch the flow of tears and end the sobs that are quietly racking my body. &#8220;What the fuck kind of question is that? I&#8217;ve just woken up screaming from something that is obviously traumatic and you want to do Therapy? Fuck you HAL!&#8221; &#8220;I am sorry Jaxx. I could have phrased that better. You are physically recovered enough to deal with the rest of the memory. The emotional impact will still be somewhat difficult.&#8221; &#8220;Wait&#8230;you are saying that I haven&#8217;t been physically capable of dealing with this memory? What do you mean by that and why do I remember some of what happened but not everything?&#8221; &#8220;These are excellent questions! Evidence that you are ready to deal with the memory. Simply put, your body had underwent so much trauma during the event that the emotions stirred up by this memory would have stopped your heart. There were many options available. They ranged from wholesale excision of the offending memory to just allowing you to proceed as normal and allowing events to play out. It was decided that you deserved a better chance than either of those two options would allow. Instead, you....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a big fan of the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying game. I have reviewed the basic game as well as the premium edition of the Civil War event book. So, it should come as no surprise that with the release of the Annihilation event book that I would be posting a review of it as well. I have mentioned this before but I really like how Margaret Weis Productions has two version of an event book. The essentials edition of the book gives you everything that you need to run the event in question. It comes with a broad selection of data files for heroes that would be appropriate for the event. All you need to get started is a copy of the basic game itself and you are ready to go. If you are like me and with a group that never has a copy of the rules, then there is the premium edition. The premium book includes all the the information of the basic book so that the rules are at the beginning of the book and the second half of the book is all the information that you need for the event. This allows me to bring both my basic rules and the premium event book to the game and have enough copies of the game to make for a much better experience. Yes, the premium edition does cost more but it is an upgrade well worth it for my group. The book itself is a beast....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are surprisingly few things from beyond the realms of our reality in The First Book of Things.  For a book which includes monsters to be used in Call of Cthulu games, this is a bit surprising.  That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of things in the book that will horrify players and characters and send the latter beyond the realms of sanity, though.  There just don’t seem to be many linked with the Mythos. What are very common in the book are monsters who masquerade as people and zombies.  In fact, there are a surprising variety of zombies provided.  A significant number of monsters in the supplement slay people and use their corpses as undead servitors in some way or another.  Just as many kill people then masquerade as their victims so that they can make prey of the victim’s friends and family.  While monsters running around in the skins of people and slowly picking off their friends feels very much like a Lovecraftian plot, the plethora of zombies feel a little like capitalizing on the zompocalypse fad. There are some creatures that diverge notably from either of these trends though, and they end up being some of the most interesting in the book.  The most interesting in my opinion was the Wrong, a sort of Man-Thing/Swamp Thing mash up. Increasing the horrific tone of the supplement, all too many of the monsters given require a living person to be sacrificed in some horrific manner to create....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1994 writer Ron Marz was given the unenviable job of writing the story that would end Hal Jordon’s tenure as Green Lantern and create a new character to take his place.  Hal Jordon was a test pilot and knew no fear.  He was part of a Universe spanning police force and had decades of history.  Basically there was nothing even remotely approachable about the title.  He had begun to be defined more by his interactions with others than his own character.  With the death and return of Superman it was decided that this would be a good time to revamp Green Lantern.  This is where Kyle Rayner came in. I doubt that Ron Marz knew at the time that this story would end up being one of the most controversial stories of the 90s.  Websites, petitions, and even organizations would grow out of the decisions he would make.  What this meant for comics as a whole is still debated to this day.  For me though what happened was one of my favorite characters &#8211; and one I would end up being able to share with my wife -  made his first appearance.  Kyle Rayner is and likely always will be my favorite Green Lantern. Hal Jordon fans were angry about the way he was written out of the title.  Many claimed that death would have been acceptable, but seeing their hero fall from grace and destroy the Corps in the process was more than they could accept.  I personally....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the first installment of an on-going story entitled Captain&#8217;s Journey. I hope you enjoy reading the story as much as I enjoy writing it. *** The emergency klaxons are screaming their warning all across the bridge. The amber and red lights indicating the ship has been damaged strobe relentlessly with the rhythm of the klaxons. The screams of Reyez from the station behind me and the constant crackling of electricity from the damaged panels on the bridge add another layer to the chaos that has erupted on my ship. The ship strains at my control as I struggle to keep it from beginning to spin madly. I mentally flip open all the coms on the ship. &#8220;What the fuck just happened? I have lost all data feeds up here and I&#8217;m flying blind! Reyez is is injured and and I need info. Report!&#8221; It feels like an eternity as I wait to hear any response to my panicked command. I can sense the rest of the crew there in my head but it feels like some sort of veil has been cast over me keeping me from contacting them to ascertain their situations. Waiting to hear something I normally can find out at a moments notice is nerve-racking. &#8220;This is Damber! Sensors are out! everything is just a big pile of slag in here. If  shields hadn&#8217;t been up life support would have been toast as well. Why do I have to tell you this over coms? Why can&#8217;t I....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EDITOR&#8217;S NOTE: As detailed earlier this week, we love Shinku by Ron Marz and Lee Moder.  In fact we love it so much, we want to enjoy that world a little more.  So we asked IoM contributor James from Black Guard Press to give us some campaign tips for a role playing game set in the Shink-u-niverse. . . . Shinku Our noble name is also our glorious battle cry. Long ago, our ancestors realized that fighting over the finite land of our island home was foolish.  As such, they set their sights on the larger world beyond the shores of Japan.  The mainlander dogs proved little challenge for the honor, skill and bravery of the noble warriors of the Empire of the Rising Sun. With our honorable samurai in their lead, our military was able to conquer all who stood in their path. This inevitable stride to glory did not stutter until we found ourselves in the dreary mountains that served as a border for the lands the primitive local referred to as Europe. Even then, the gaijins’ armies were no match for those of the Empire of the Rising Sun. But dark, unnatural creatures stalked the night in this barbaric land.  These filthy beasts hungered for the noble blood of our people and were gifted with inhuman strength and abilities by the foul powers that they made their unholy pacts with. These kyuuketsuki  were incapable of meeting us honorably and in the light of day but became a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a big fan of Shinku by Ron Marz. I enjoy his writing immensely and how can you not love samurai and vampires. I follow him on twitter and noticed him mentioning Ravine would be coming out soon. I was ignorant of this book and turned to the internet to do a little more research. I was very happy to learn that this was a creator-owned epic fantasy collaboration between Ron Marz and Stjepan Sejic. I was familiar with Sejic from his art in Witchblade and hearing the guys on Funnybooks talk about his work on Artifacts. It definitely sounded like something that I would enjoy and I was lucky enough to get to read this book. Marz and Sejic decided to forgo the usual 22-page comic issue format for this story. They opted instead to go the route of the original graphic novel. This way the story can progress more organically without the need for a cliffhanger every 22 pages. The plan is to tell the story over several volumes. After reading this first story, I have to say that it was an excellent decision. The world that the story is taking place in is large and textured. It has dragons, magic, and gods that one comes to expect from an epic fantasy. The two main differences are in the unique changes that Marz and Sejic bring to the genre. Instead of magic being just another force, it was one of the four gifts that the first dragons bestowed upon....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am fan of both vampires and samurai.  My penchant for these two genres has been kept to gaming, novels, and films.  I have been a player in White Wolf&#8217;s World of Darkness since inception.  The same can be said for Legend of the Five Rings.  Each of these games allowed me to take on the role of either a vampire or a samurai and enjoy my time in their world.  The movies I have watched to indulge my penchant for vampires has been numerous and mostly painful.  Samurai cinema has been much kinder to me though.  Comics is the only venue wherein I have not truly indulged in my love of  vampires and samurai.  I place the blame squarely on my ignorance of titles that would scratch this particular itch and my trepidation at trying anything outside of the big two. It came as a pleasant surprise to me when I heard Aron and Paul discussing Shinku issue 5 on a recent episode of Funnybooks.  They were talking about a lone samurai woman fighting a clan of vampires in modern day Japan. This was a book that combined both of these genres and it sounded like it did it well.  I had to read this story.  Sadly, I was unable to locate physical copies of all five issues.  My local shop was kind enough to put them on order for me and I took solace in the digital copies. I sat down to read them and devoured them in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I heard that there was a new Jason Statham movie coming out, I was filled with glee. I am huge fan of Statham and have seen most of the movies he has done, even the ones by Uwe Boll. Yes, I am that much of a fan. There was no question that I would be seeing this film in theaters when it was released. The thing that was in doubt was whether this would be a good movie or something that benefited from the Halo effect due to Jason Statham&#8217;s presence. The interwebs were not much help in this regards. The guys here at Ideology of Madness pretty much came down on the side of it being craptastic whereas John Wick was very excited to see an actual Parker movie getting made instead of the Mel Gibson star vehicle that was Payback. The presence of J-lo in the movie was not something that inspired confidence despite my unwavering fan boy nature. Before I proceed, I have a confession to make. I am unfamiliar with the source material as I have never read the book upon which this movie is based. I am aware, that in some circles, this is a horrible sin and can only hope for forgiveness. I only have so much free time and have not been overly fond of the crime genre outside of Andrew Vachss. I rather enjoyed Parker. The story itself is very much a modernized Robin Hood tale. Parker is a thief with a particular set of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really love the work Aspen Comics puts out. The company, founded in 2003 by artist Michael Turner, puts out some of the best looking comics on the market. Their &#8220;house style&#8221; really appeals to me, and they&#8217;ve put out some really fun books – stuff like Fathom, Lady Mechanika, Iron and the Maiden, and Shrugged. Not only that, creators like JT Krul, Talent Caldwell, Jeph Loeb, and Marcus To have worked with them, and produced some fantastic work. My main issue with Aspen is their consistent lack of timely books. I don&#8217;t think they advertise their books as monthly, per se, but some of them seem to come out very infrequently and, if there&#8217;s one thing that&#8217;ll make me drop a book, it&#8217;s when the momentum of the story is completely lost because of delays. Unfortunately, that&#8217;s what happened when Charismagic came out. I was immediately taken with the cover, showing one of the leads, Sudana, and her glowing tattoos. I picked up issues 0-2, but the delays between issues just had the series drop off my radar until this week, where Andrew (during our most recent recording of Funnybooks) reminded me about the series, and mentioned that volume 2, The Death Princess, had recently just started. The entire first volume was available for $9.99 on Comixology, so I decided to give it a shot, and I&#8217;m glad I did. Charismagic tells the story of Hank the Magnificent, a Las Vegas magician in a failing relationship who&#8217;s main magic....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year I found a project that looked interesting to me. It was Dungeon World by Sage Latorra and Adam Koebel. I was hearing an awful lot about it on twitter and other places on the internet. After doing a bit of research I decided to back the project. I chose the $65 level which netted me the hard bound book, a t-shirt, digital copies of everything, and a few additional items. I received my package in the mail just the other day and was just floored by the final product. Dungeon World sets out to capture the feel of old school D&#38;D while using a more modern rules set. It accomplishes this goal with ease and does so by using the Apocalypse World engine. This is a fairly easy to master set of rules and at it&#8217;s core only uses 2d6. All dice related activities are controlled by moves. These are specific actions that a player or the GM takes within the game. The moves range from Hack and Slash and Defy Danger to the specific moves that accompany each class in Dungeon World. A move is a specific action that a character takes in the game. Hack and Slash is a good example as it is attacking something that is defending itself. If the target can&#8217;t defend itself you wouldn&#8217;t use this move but just deal damage. Success is determined by the roll of 2d6 plus a stat. If the result is 10 or better the move succeeds. If the result is between a 7....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now THIS is more like it. I was a little more lukewarm on the first part of the two part The Dark Knight Returns animated adaptation, but this second part, adapting the latter half of the original Frank Miller mini-series, not only adapts my favorite parts of the story, it does it with such style and gusto, I found myself rewinding scenes multiple times to watch them over and over. For fans of the original The Dark Knight Returns, you know what&#8217;s in this half of the tale. For those unfamiliar with the story (do such people exist?), in part one, Batman has come out of retirement and taken Gotham by storm. He&#8217;s taken down the leader of the largest gang in Gotham, the Mutants, and taken down Harvey Dent/Two-Face. What&#8217;s next? Well, seeing that Batman has come out of retirement has inspired his greatest enemy, The Joker, to come out too. Not only that, the President wants Batman taken down, and will ask his #1 guy, Superman, to do it if he has to. The fights portrayed in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 are iconic – the Joker/Batman and Superman/Batman fights, as written and illustrated by Frank Miller, are the stuff of legend, and quite possibly the single most recognized fights in all of comics history. They&#8217;re the main chunks of issues 3 and 4 of the original mini, AND they&#8217;re done so well in this movie, I can&#8217;t possibly imagine anyone being able to do them....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Monkeybrain books was founded in 2001 by popular comic writer Chris Roberson and Allison Baker, an independent press company with a focus on science fiction and fantasy. In 2012, they branched out in out into a creator-owned digital-only (for now) comics line, distributed through Comixology. With books like Edison Rex, The October Girl, and Bandette, they&#8217;ve enjoyed a fair amount of success, with critical and fan acclaim and (from what I&#8217;ve heard) pretty decent sales. With a price point of 99 cents an issue, their comics are designed for the digital medium and priced to sell and, at least from this particular blogger, HIGHLY recommended. Anthology series in general are a hard sell, but I decided to pick up Masks &#38; Mobsters issue one a while back and FINALLY got around to reading it last week. After the last page was done, I immediately purchased the following four issues and read them in one sitting. Masks &#38; Mobsters captured my interest from its basic title (I like both masks AND mobsters – combining the two doesn&#8217;t happen often nowadays). I figured at worst I would waste 99 cents. At best? I&#8217;d have something comparable to Brubaker and Phillips&#8217; stellar Incognito series. While it&#8217;s still a little early to compare Masks and Mobsters to Incognito, the series has turned into a must-read for me, and I am anxiously awaiting the 6th issue. Written by Joshua Williamson (Uncharted for DC, Dear Dracula for Image), Masks and Mobsters is an anthology series where....]]></description>

This week saw pre-registration open up on Sunday and the housing block open up on Tuesday and have all the rooms sold out in about an hour. If you are not a fan of table top roleplaying games, you may be wondering what is Gen Con? Gen Con is a four day gaming convention held in Indianapolis from August 15th to the 18th.The scope and breadth of gaming available at this convention is large. The many options available make it a challenge just to decided what to do. If you are a fan of D&#38;D or Pathfinder, there will be a game available for you at almost any time of the day. Wizards of the Coast and Paizo both have  halls dedicated to their organized play. If organized play is not your thing, there are many people who run session of this game from there own world or older editions of the game. This ensures that all D&#38;D geeks can get their fix. If your tastes run more towards the small or indie style games, there are plenty of options for you as well. Games on Demand has a large presence at the convention. They run a large variety of these games throughout the day. You can drop by at the beginning of any of their two hour slots and see if any of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Paranormal Activity 3 was released, I remember seeing that it was a prequel to the first two movies, and thinking that I would have much preferred &#8220;the hunt for Katie,&#8221; something that came after the events of Paranormal Activity 2. I imagined it almost as a [Rec2] style film, about a swat team hunting down the demon (after all, didn&#8217;t technically the footage from the first film get found?). Well…you know what they say…be careful what you wish for. Paranormal Activity 4 takes place some years after the events of PA2 and features not so much &#8220;the hunt for Katie,&#8221; as it does &#8220;Katie the demon kills a family, steals their baby, and then raises him in suburbia.&#8221; Maybe I&#8217;m jumping ahead too much. Paranormal Activity 4 features a new family, and focuses primarily on oldest daughter Alex. Her adopted brother Wyatt has befriended their neighbor&#8217;s young son, Robbie, and when Robbie&#8217;s mom gets into an accident, Robbie comes to live with Alex and her family. That&#8217;s when creepy things start happening, and when Wyatt starts going by the name &#8220;Hunter,&#8221; the threads of the first 3 movies start poking through, and we get the usual assortment of bumps in the night, cabinets opening and closing, and the like. What I will say is that, probably in anticipation of an audience expecting the filmmakers to &#8220;up the ante,&#8221; PA4 does get a little more vicious. I believe it probably has the highest body count of the series and the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So…it&#8217;s happened. I&#8217;ve outgrown my allotted space for Superman stuff in my current quarters. As a result, as you&#8217;ll see, I&#8217;ve started putting stuff in bins in preparation for when I move to a larger space. The Superman Collection has taken on so much of a life of its own that I almost need to take a break from buying stuff until I&#8217;ve got more room! It&#8217;s funny … when I started, I almost had a hard time finding stuff to buy. Seems like everywhere I went, I could find Batman stuff no problem, but Superman? Little trickier. Well, someone opened the floodgates apparently because now I&#8217;ve got too dang much! Well, too dang much for now … if anything, I&#8217;m off to a good start . Check out pics of some of the more recent purchases below!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya know, a lot can be said about a weekend where you watch Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter one night, then follow it up with Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters the next. That&#8217;s not to say either film is bad. Quite the opposite – actually, both films were pretty enjoyable fare that I probably don&#8217;t ever need to see again. Still, they both have multiple things in common, primarily the fact that both are campy film concepts that involve visually stellar directors, involve hunting some kind of monster, and take themselves too seriously. If there&#8217;s one negative thing I&#8217;ll say about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it&#8217;s that it set the stage for all future vampires/werewolves/witches/monsters to know some sort of martial arts. Ever since Buffy hits the airwaves, it seems that, if a hunter/slayer knows martial arts, then so does every monster they hunt, even though monsters really shouldn&#8217;t need to. I mean, if I had the power of 10 men, would I really need to learn jeet kune do? I&#8217;m thinking no. Still, with a film called Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, you kind of have to leave such questions at the door before you walk in. From the director of Dead Snow, you know you really aren&#8217;t in for a serious take on the classic fairy tale. And I am a sucker for a dark fairy tale story. Now that fairy tales are big, we&#8217;re getting hit with them from all over the place. Snow White and the Huntsman,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know, the first Universal Soldier isn&#8217;t a half bad flick. Essentially, it&#8217;s a cat-and-mouse chase between Dolph Lundgren and Jean Claude Van Damme (both at the top of their games) and features some pretty dark backstory to the Dolph Lundgren character. It&#8217;s popcorn entertainment, but it always had a dark undercurrent to it, in my opinion. I never saw the two direct to video sequels that didn&#8217;t feature the original cast, (Brothers in Arms and Unfinished Business), but I&#8217;d imagine they&#8217;re as awful as you&#8217;d expect from direct to video sequels based on a movie that wasn&#8217;t particularly stellar to begin with. Of course, I can&#8217;t imagine they&#8217;d be any worse that Universal Soldier: The Return, which FELT like a direct to video movie, featured Van Damme and swapped out Lundgren for Goldberg (yes, the wrestler) and threw in a soundtrack featuring metal tracks, since that was all the rage around that time. Then something happened. Jon Hyams, son of Peter Hyams (director of End of Days, Timecop, The Relic, and more) directed a direct to DVD sequel, Regeneration. Featuring Van Damme and Lundgren back against each other, Regeneration took the series much darker. Though people feel it&#8217;s a direct sequel to the original, really, there&#8217;s no reference to any of the previous films. Storywise, there&#8217;s not much to grasp other than that Lundgren and a group of UniSols have taken over a facility, and Van Damme is sent in to kick some ass. What the film lacks in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quick confession time. I am not the biggest fan of Dark Horse&#8217;s Dark Empire Trilogy. Released just six months after Timothy Zahn&#8217;s Heir to the Empire novel, Dark Empire told the story of Luke joining the dark side, now under the control of clones of Emperor Palpatine, and Leia&#8217;s attempts to pull him out. The idea is great, and I love the heck out of those Dave Dorman covers (whatever happened to that guy?), but the story never really felt like Star Wars to me. I don&#8217;t know if the Tom Veitch story just felt too dark, or if it was the Cam Wagner art that was a little too stylized. It&#8217;s not a bad book, but in 1991 (for those of you old enough to remember it) was a pretty great time for Star Wars fans. Timothy Zahn&#8217;s Heir to the Empire was like a reminder to fans that Star Wars was still alive and well. Heck, I&#8217;d venture to say that, without that novel, there would be no prequel trilogy (for better or worse). Though we&#8217;d had animated series, some novels, and even some comics (remember Star Wars 3D from Blackthorne Publishing?), until Heir, Star Wars had become somewhat of an inactive franchise since Return of the Jedi. However, Heir, which captured the feel of the original trilogy so well, and featured the characters we know and love in exactly the same manner that we remembered them, was the spark of life that reinvigorated Star Wars in fandom....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a while since I&#8217;ve written a new In Search of Superman post, but I think now&#8217;s the right time to do it. 2013 is definitely shaping up to be the year of Superman, and with all the attention DC and Warner Brothers are putting on the New 52 Superman and the upcoming Man of Steel movie, there&#8217;s probably a good chance that most fans will miss out on a pretty excellent Superman story that&#8217;s already being published, Superman Beyond. Currently starting a new arc with issue 13, Superman Beyond tells the continuing adventures of Kal El in the Batman Beyond continuity, written by JT Krul featuring art by Howard Porter and Livesay. For fans who&#8217;ve read Superman/Batman Annual #4 and Superman Beyond #0, they know that in this continuity, Lois is long gone, and Superman is trying to understand his place in the future Metropolis. At 99 cents a piece, Superman Beyond is released digital-first through Comixology and tells the ongoing tales of Superman as he establishes a new identity (as Kal Kent, a firefighter), and fights the daughter of Lex Luthor and Solomon Grundy, with the help of Bruce Wayne in a pretty awesome looking Batman armor. I&#8217;m enjoying the hell out of this series, and anyone looking for a great Superman series is going to get a kick out of it. The Beyond digital titles are published weekly, with Superman alternating with Justice League and Batman. All tales told in the same universe, but able....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, how are you doing with that New Year&#8217;s resolution of losing weight and getting fit? I am hoping that you are energized and hitting it as hard as you can. I know how difficult it can be towards the end of January when the days are short and the weather is cruel. Never fear! I am here to provide another bit of advice as you work your way to that goal. One of the difficult things for me when I started exercising was that I needed something to help me push through the difficult beginning and then carry me through to the end of what ever length of time I had set. I worked out by myself and had no one to talk with so I turned to music. I pretty much threw what ever I had on iTunes onto my Shuffle and would hit the gym. Sadly, most of my music collection was not very conducive to staying energized. I had to make a concerted effort to find music that would work for me. One of those discoveries was Owl City. The Midsummer Station is in heavy rotation on my iPod. Owl city has an electronic and poppy sound mixed with quirky and up-beat lyrics. You may already be familiar with the album as &#8220;Good Time&#8221; is seeing heavy radio play. The funny thing is that this is not my favorite song. This accolade has to go to &#8220;Bombshell Blonde&#8221; as it captures everything I enjoy about Owl....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Listening to Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie, there is one thing, out of many, that makes are regular appearance. This is a discussion of digital comics. It is always is an interesting discussion because it does a fine job of pushing the red button of rage on Tim. His anger is always entertaining but the reason this subject inspires such ire is something that has eluded me. Why would you get angry at being able to get your comics in a much simpler manner that didn&#8217;t take up a metric fuck-ton of space? I never really put much thought into this and merely chuckled each time the discussion would happen and be thankful that I was given another entertaining outburst from Tim. It was not until recently that I really put some thought into this and found a way to understand, to a certain extent, Tim&#8217;s stance. The key to understanding was finding common ground. What was something that I loved that was facing a shift into the digital world and what were my feelings in regards to this? The answer was table top role playing games. In the past few years, most games companies have began releasing their product in a digital format with some going digital exclusively. In addition, several companies provide you with a free copy of the PDF when you buy the physical copy. On an intellectual level, I understand the many benefits of digital copies of my favorite role playing games. It makes it quicker for the finished product....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that I have come to learn that I enjoy in table top role playing games is playing to see what happens. This idea has a strong presence in a large variety of indie games that are currently out. One of the games that has recently caught my attention that does this is Durance by Jason Morningstar. You may be familiar with name Jason Morningstar as he is the creator of Fiasco which was recently featured on Will Wheaton&#8217;s Tabletop. Durance is game in a similar vein. This is a science fiction game where the players explore savagery, servility, power, safety, and other themes. The setting is a distant planet chosen for colonization by those desperate for change and prisoners that are taking up space in society. Instead of the bucolic paradise that was promised, the planet is a place that makes survival difficult and pushes thoughts of rehabilitation to the background. This volatile mix is where the players take the stage and answer the question, &#8220;What Happens?&#8221; The system itself is very simple and is run with out a game master. Whomever brought the game gets the ball rolling and begins the process of building the planet where play will take place. There are six things listed on the planetary survey which are necessary for a good planet for colonization.

This is admirable sentiment and one which I fully support. I personally have made this resolution many times throughout my life and have only been able to accomplish it in the past year and a half. In this time I have lost over a 130 lbs. It was a lot of work learning how to eat differently and starting to exercise. Now that I am closing in on normal Body Mass Index, I am realizing that getting fit is now more of priority. To this end I researched a tool that would aid me in this quest. It had to be something that was tough as I am rough on electronics, hard to forget when being out and about, and somewhat motivational as I do most of my exercise alone. The thing that I found that I geeked out about the most was Nike+ Fuelband. This tool is actually composed of two separate things, the Nike + website and the Fuelband itself. The Fuelband is a bracelet built along the lines of the charity bracelets like Lance Armstrong&#8217;s Strength. It is just a little bit chunkier than these and comes in three different style. I went with basic black. It houses an accelerometer  which records the activity that you engage in through out the day. On the front of the Fuelband there is a button that activates the display and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought it might be appropriate to share with you a Christmas tradition that I have since today is Christmas eve. Every year around this time, I make sure to read the Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. It is a story set in his Disc World setting. If you are unfamiliar with this world, allow me to provide you with a brief introduction. In this universe, you have your normal planets that orbit suns and follow the usual laws of physics. But to all rules, there are always exceptions and Disc World is the exception to all rules. As the name implies, the world is flat. In addition to this it is carried on the back of four elephants that are in turn carried through space by the great sea turtle Atuin. Magic and monsters abound on the Disc World and even Death has been known to take an apprentice. The Hogfather is the story of the Santa Claus of the Disc World. He travels the world on Hogfather&#8217;s night bringing toys to all the children of the disc from his sleigh pulled by boars. As things are wont to do in a Pratchett novel, things go a bit pear shaped. The Auditors, a supernatural group trying to remove woolly thinking from the universe, have set their sights on the Hogfather. They have hired the Assassin&#8217;s guild to enhume the Hogfather.

		<description><![CDATA[I was looking back over my posts here at Ideology of Madness and there was one thing that stood out to me. I have only written about comics once.  In that post, I don&#8217;t really talk about any comic in particular but more about the things that make it difficult to get into comics. I hadn&#8217;t ever thought to tell you about a comic that I enjoyed. I&#8217;ve decided to fix this egregious error. One of the comics that I am currently enjoying is Earth 2.  I have not heard the guys talk about it very much on Funnybooks so I&#8217;ve decided to shed some light on this little gem in the second wave of DC&#8217;s New 52. As the name implies, this book is set on an alternate earth.  The first issue of Earth 2 provides a very nice set-up for this alternate history. This is an earth under assault by Darkseid. The Justice League and the gods have fought a losing battle with most of the gods and heroes having perished.  Through the heroic sacrifice of the Justice League, the invasion from Apokolips is thwarted but the world is left woefully low on heroes. This is an untenable state which the god Hermes rectifies with his dying breath. He bestows the powers of the Flash upon this world&#8217;s Jay Garrick. This title is currently on issue seven has been slowly introducing us to the heroes, who have in the past, been members of the Justice Society.  As of....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have had the good fortune to be given an electronic advance reader copy of Shadow Ops: Fortress Frontier by Myke Cole. I was very excited to get the chance to read this book before it hits bookshelves in January. The first book in this series, Shadow Ops: Control Point also happens to be the first book that I picked up digitally. It made getting the advance reader copy in digital format feel like coming full circle. This is not normally how I do reviews here on Ideology of Madness.  My prior reviews have been for the beginnings of series that I am enjoying.  I do this so that if you think you might enjoy the book that you will have several books to enjoy before you have to join me in waiting for the next one. Thankfully, I was prepared for just such an eventuality.  I wrote a review of Control Point at my own blog before I started my illustrious career here.  You can find my review of it here. In Fortress Frontier, We return tho the world of Oscar Britton.  This is a world where magic has returned and changed how the world works.  Magic is something that appears among the population at random. In America, you have two choices if you manifest an acceptable magical power.  You can join the military and be trained how to use your power for the benefit of the nation or you can have the power supressed.  If you manifest a prohibited school or don&#8217;t like....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Squee! Sorry, that had to be said. You are most probably wondering why I would start a post out with such a joyful noise? Those three simple words at the top of the post is why. Evil Hat Productions has unleashed upon the internet the Kickstarter for the Fate Core System. This is the system that is at the heart of Spirit of the Century, Diaspora, Icons, Bulldogs, and the Dresden Files RPG. It is a great system that has been around for a while now and does an excellent job of bridging the gap between traditional and indie style role playing games. My first exposure to the Fate system was through the game Spirit of the Century. I played a one shot with a group of friends and had a good time with the game but had an issue with the system and I spoke about it on my blog not long after the game. A few days later, Fred Hicks dropped by and left a comment on my post pointing out where in my problem was coming from and how to fix it. This easily elicited a Squee! I didn&#8217;t get another chance to play Spirit again but I kept the information Fred provided in memory for later. I did not get to use the Fate system again until the release of The Dresden files RPG. I bought the both books upon release and devoured them in no time. I was very pleased to note that the advice that Fred....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not going to lie to you.  When I saw the trailer for Rise of the Guardians my geeky core and inner-child let out a mighty squee!  A movie that has a tattooed Santa, an Australian Easter Bunny, a cute Sandman, and a highly energetic Tooth Fairy was something that was right up my alley. The trailer reminded me of the Rankin &#38; Bass claymation classic, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus.  In this special from 1974, The Great Ak convenes a council of Immortals to decide about bestowing the gift of immortality upon an aging Saint Nicholas.  The story is rife with fairies, warlocks, and a large array of fantasy accouterments.  It proceeds to tell the story of Santa Claus and why he is deserving of the mantle of immortality. Rise of the Guardians is story in a similar vein.  The focus of the film is Jack Frost.  The very first scene has us witnessing his birth.  We see him rising up through water as he describes his first memory being that of the Man in the Moon calling him and giving him his name.  We follow him on his first few tentative steps as a new entity and quickly learn that despite the power he has he is still separate from humanity.  The movie then brings us forward in time to the modern era and introduces us to current guardians.  These are North, Bunny, Sandy, and Tooth respectively.  I think you can sort out easily who is who in this little....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am going to assume you have heard of this thing called steampunk.  Fantasy with a decided technological edge to it and settings ranging from just slightly off historical to full blown space opera style.  I have seen the costumes at GenCon and the comic con I recently attended and was very impressed with the details that I saw.  I have only dabbled in the fictional end of this pool through picking up the wonderful series by Gail Carriger and Devon Monk&#8217;s decidedly western spin on the genre.  I had the good fortune to hear that Lilith Saintcrow was trying her hand at steampunk with a definite tip of the bonnet to Holmes and Watson.  I quickly added the Iron Wyrm Affair to my Goodreads list to be picked up the next time I was at a book store.  It was about a week later before I had a chance to pick up the book and a week or so more before I had time to finally get to this book.  It was an excellent purchase. The Iron Wyrm Affair is the first adventure of Emma Bannon, Sorceress Prime and Archibald Clare, Mentath. The opening scene of the book clearly displays the connection to Holmes and Watson.  Ms. Bannon interrupts a frazzled Bannon as he is working with his Viola to determine the musical chords that would control the actions of tiny creatures.  We are treated to Clare&#8217;s inner dialogue as he determines whether this interruption will lead to more than a days worth....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The weekend is upon us.  For some of us, this presents a variable amount of free time with which to indulge ourselves.  The options that are available can seem somewhat dizzying at times and I want to help by telling you about one thing that you might enjoy.  If you are of a cinematic bent, allow me to recommend Skyfall. If you read my post about Night&#8217;s Black Agents, it will come as no surprise to you that I went and saw this new Bond movie on opening weekend.  It is a fitting way to mark the 50th anniversary of James Bond. Once again Daniel Craig takes up the mantle of 007. The movie opens up in the middle of an operation.  Bond and another agent are frantically searching for a hard drive.  He arrives to the room of another agent just a few seconds to late to retrieve the hard drive but with enough time to save a wounded agent. He can only save the agent at the cost of losing the fleeing thief.  M makes the call to catch the thief and we are allowed to see the regret of following this order across Bond&#8217;s face as he takes off.  What follows is a chase across the exotic city of Istanbul as Bond and his partner are constantly just out of reach of the fleeing agent.  The tension ratchets up as Bond is able to finally engage the enemy on the roof of a speeding train and the other agent....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I headed out to my local comic shop for a little retail therapy.  While I picked my few comics I spied an interesting book on the shelf.  It was entitled Night&#8217;s Black Agents by Kenneth Hite.  I knew that having Mr. Hite as the author meant that this was going to be something good.  When I read the back cover I was sold.  This was a game that combined the spy thriller with vampiric conspiracy where Bram Stoker&#8217;s Dracula meets The Bourne Identity.  It quickly joined my few comics in my trek through the store. My schedule kept me from being able to put any time into the book until I went out of town for a conference.  It was in the evenings after events wound down that I was able to dig into the book.  I couldn&#8217;t believe that I had not picked up this book when it was first released as it fired on all cylinders and dealt with the topics that I love, Vampires and Spies. Night&#8217;s Black Agent&#8217;s uses the Gumshoe system.  It is a very simple system requiring only a single D6.  Outcomes are determined by the roll of a D6 compared to a difficulty number ranging from 2 to 8 with the ability to spend points from your skill to affect the roll.  A very simple system where the complexity lies within the skills themselves. The system has Investigative skills and general skills.  Investigative skills are somewhat self-explanatory.  They provide....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s all too easy to write off the Dark Ages as a time of superstition and ignorance. It is much harder to try to get into the mindset of the people of that time and try to understand why they believed what they believed. While things like bleeding people to rebalance their humors seem the height of stupidity these days, there are no doubt beliefs we have now that will seem just as silly to people in another 500 years. The task of understanding the people of this era is made all the harder by the fact that we live in a time when freedom, independence and the thirst for knowledge are lauded whereas the people of that era were expected to know their place and stay in it. The life of most people in the Dark Ages was a span of unremitting drudgery generally ended by a painful death. The religions of the era, while sometimes giving hope, were often nothing more than another method for people with power to oppress the general populace. Can it be any surprise then that this time provides an almost perfect backdrop for the lurking terror, horrifying unknown and slow insanity that is part and parcel of a Call of Cthulu game? The Abbey is a game supplement for this very game and setting. It revolves around a remote monastery dedicated to the Order of St. Jerome. This monastery is no doubt like countless others, including having a relic that is the last....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It can be very hard for a GM to surprise the players in a Call of Cthulu game. After all paranoia is the name of the game. (Actually, Paranoia is the name of a different game, but you know what I mean.) The whole point of most Call of Cthulu games is that there are dangers hiding just beneath the surface that are just waiting to devour the characters’ bodies, souls or sanities. Trying to find surprises before they happen and find some way to avoid them is vital for any character in a Call of Cthulu campaign. Nonetheless, the Call of Cthulu adventure Raising Up does a good job of throwing a curve at the characters at the end of the story. In truth, Raising Up is not a single adventure but rather a short campaign of 5 interrelated adventures. These adventures do not have a theme but rather a single linking feature and a clever GM could easily downplay this aspect so that the players do not realize that the adventures are related or that there is anything significant about the link that unites them. For that matter, a GM could just as easily use one or two of the adventures in their own game without feeling constrained to play through the entire campaign. Each individual adventure in the mini-campaign also does a good job of keeping the characters off balance without depending on the overarching uncertainty of the game. None of the adventures feature straightforward problems, but....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been spending an inordinate amount of time on Kickstarter as of late.  It has become an incubator for new games and allows creators and fans another avenue for connecting.  It has become the first place I check when I am looking for a new game to buy or for something unique to support.  It was during one of my recent perusals that I discovered the 10th Anniversary edition of Mutants &#38; Masterminds. Mutants &#38; Masterminds is a super hero role playing game which is currently on a third edition.  The system is fairly simple to master as it is a heavily modified version of D20.  Actions are resolved with a single roll of a D20.  You take the result of the die roll and add it to your skill, power, or attribute and compare it to the defense value  or difficulty level.  If your value is higher you succeed with and increase in degrees of success for every 5 points you are above the required number.  It is an easily mastered system and uses a point buy system for character creation to maintain balance among the players at the table.  It has a large list of skills, talents, feats, and powers that allows players to create almost any character from comics that they would like to play as well whatever their fevered imaginations can conjure.  The only character I have not been able to create has been a variant of Jamie Madrox, but this is because duplicators are easily over powered in role playing games. There are....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I introduced you to Jerry D Grayson, creator of HELLAS, yesterday.  Today I will tell you about the game itself. HELLAS is an epic space opera whose setting is based on Hellenic Greece.  The players take on the roles of heroes striving to fulfill their destinies while avoiding falling into hubris.  The juxtaposition of Greek mythology and space opera is not something that is easy to blend but Mr. Grayson does it and makes it look easy. The mechanic at the heart of the system is fairly simple.  A player states his intention when taking an action.  This action is given a degree of difficulty ranging from positive to negative with positive numbers noting things that are easy to accomplish.  A Character&#8217;s skill rating or attribute is added to the degree of difficulty along with the result of a D20 roll.  The result is then compared to the result table to determine degree of success which ranges from critical failure to critical success.  A very simple system with a wide array of possibilities for both player and gm alike. The prize of HELLAS is the setting.  I have been a fan of Greek mythology and Greek and Roman history since elementary school.  When these things are taken and spun into a space opera the results are magnificent.  The  first part of the book is spent giving you the history of Hellene space.  It is done in a timeline format with asides scatter throughout providing nice plot hooks to allow you play in any part of the history if you....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a big fan of HELLAS. Hellas is a table top role playing game inspired by the myths and histories of Greece and set in a vast and epic space opera.  I knew I wanted to do a review here of this new addition but thought that there had to be a better way to introduce the game to you fine folks.  It crossed my mind that an interview might just do the trick.  So, I fired of a quick query to Mr. Grayson, creator of Hellas.  He was gracious enough to answer a few questions for you, my fine readers. Without further ado, my interview with Jerry d Grayson. &#160; How did you come up with the idea for HELLAS? I originally wanted to do a game that emulated the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the video game Dynasty Warriors. That’s quickly turned into a Sci-Fi version of the idea. While doing the research to produce the game I realized I couldn&#8217;t do the concept justice and stopped work on it. I still wanted to do science fiction and wanted to do something super heroic so I latched on to Greek Myth and went forward full steam. &#160; This is a new edition of HELLAS.  Are there any big changes that people can expect to find in the book?  If so, what are they? The book is printed on used envelopes and gum wrappers. In all seriousness the book isn&#8217;t printed on Gum wrappers…they cost too much. What can be expected?....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the hidden gems of the fall TV season may turn out to be Arrow.  It premiered on The CW on October 10th and I have to say I was very impressed. Now, I can guess that you may have some reservations about this show since it is on The CW.  I would like to point out that this network is the home of Supernatural and had been the home of Smallville.   Knowing that these two shows originated here made me want to give Arrow a try.  I also am a big fan of comic book inspired shows so there was no way that I wasn&#8217;t going to watch it.  I have to support my stories. Arrow is based on Green Arrow from DC Comics.  The show opens with the rescue of Oliver Queen from an island where he has been surviving for the past five years.  We learn that Oliver&#8217;s life prior to his going missing has been one of dissolute debauchery.  his return to society is marked by a drive to make up for his misspent youth and righting the wrongs perpetrated by his father.  Throughout the episode we are introduced both to the denizens of Starling City as well as the people that surround this modern day Robin Hood. One of the things I enjoyed about Arrow is its darker tone.  One of the ways this is shown is through the flashbacks.  Each time we are taken back to the shipwreck, we are shown something horrible.  Each....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a fan of vengeance and rescue movies.  One of my favorites in this genre happens to be Taken staring Liam Neeson and written by Luc Besson.  I was overjoyed to hear that they would be doing a sequel but terrified that it would be horrible.  Taken 2 released over the weekend and I made the trek to my local cinema with friends to see Liam Neeson kicking much ass.  I was not disappointed. I was very happy to see that the three main characters were all played by the original actors.  One of my worries with sequels is that they will not bring back all the original actors which made the first movie so good.  I&#8217;ve seen it happen before and it never really makes for a good return to the well.  I was delighted to see that Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace both return reprising their original roles.  Though neither of these actresses played a major role in the film, they provided a humanizing factor to Neeson&#8217;s character which made the movie better.  In Taken 2, both have much larger parts to play. The movie picks up not long after the end of the first.  We are given a scene of the families of all the men that Mills had killed to recover his daughter.  There is a long line of graves with much weeping from those in attendance.  An older gentleman, looking a bit to much like the most interesting man in the world, swears vengeance for the loss....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently (around the time Prometheus hit theaters), MTV GEEK did a list of their favorite Alien crossover comics, and Superman/Aliens came in at #8. For those who may not have been collecting at the time, for a period, Dark Horse took the opportunity of having the Aliens and Predator (and, for a while, Robocop and Terminator) franchises to have many different crossover books, including Batman vs. Predator  and Batman vs. Aliens (which are amongst my favorites, the latter being by Ron Marz and Bernie Wrightson), Green Lantern vs. Aliens, The Darkness and Witchblade vs. Aliens and Predator, and Superman/Batman vs. Predators/Aliens.  Despite the silly-sounding concepts, most of these books had dynamite creative teams (Batman vs. Predator featured art by Andy Kubert, for example) and were prestige format, so you got some gorgeous, well written books that surprisingly took their franchises seriously. I recently got my hands on a used copy of Superman/Aliens by Dan Jurgens and Kevin Nowlan, and dug into it excitedly.  This is around the time of long-haired Superman (1995), and features Superman assisting Lexcorp scientists who come across a probe that may have ties to a lost Kryptonian city, and has Superman investigating what could, potentially, be some living Kryptonians.  Unfortunately, the probe leads them to a city that’s far from the sun, depleting Superman of his powers as he has to take on an army of aliens with the last survivor of the dying city.  Meanwhile, back on the space station waiting for Superman, Lois Lane....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every year, Busch Gardens Williamsburg puts together what is, essentially, the best deal in haunts around with their annual Howl-O-Scream event.  Unlike most other theme park Halloween events, BGW&#8217;s Howl-O-Scream event isn&#8217;t separately ticketable.  So whereas you have to buy a specific ticket for events like Halloween Horror Nights, or even Busch Gardens Tampa&#8217;s Howl-O-Scream, for the event in Williamsburg, you can purchase a regular day ticket (or, for season pass holders, just show up at any time during the day), enjoy the regular park during the day, and enjoy the Howl-O-Scream festivities in the evening.  The best part of all?  All the Howl-O-Scream shows play during the day as well, so you can watch all of them before the houses even open, and hit the houses without interruption, which is kind of vital, considering the crowds this place gets on weekends. Howl-O-Scream opened this year on September 14th, a direct response to the fact that for almost the last two years going, the park has hit capacity every Saturday of the event, dealing with extremely long lines and wait times and, worst of all, turning away business.  Of course, I attended this year&#8217;s event on a Saturday, and, even though I got to the park at 1PM and was able to hit a good amount of the shows and a coaster or two before the house&#8217;s opened.  Sadly, even with this head start, without a Quick Queue pass, I was only able to hit 5 of the 6 houses,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first post here on Ideology of Madness was a review of Margaret Weis Productions new game Marvel Heroic Roleplaying.  I fell in love with the game as it hit all the marks that I was looking for in a supers game.  It allowed me to play a super hero game while utilizing the mechanics of a story based game.  In addition to these this, it also answered the question of how to allow people to play different characters from the comics without any player feeling overshadowed. One of the things that I was intrigued about this game was the plan to go with event books just like in the comics.  I have to admit that I didn&#8217;t know what to think about the idea.  I had not read the story line which was going to encompass their first event book and supplements.  Civil War was a bit of a cipher to me.  In their press releases, they spoke of making the source material accessible to those who were fans of the story as well as something a neophyte could take part in without feeling left out.  On top of this, I also read that they were going to release the book in two different books.  There would be an essential edition and a premium edition.  The essential edition would be everything you would need to run the Civil War event while the premium edition would have the rules portion of the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game and a bit of new....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I should probably start this review by stating I’m not the hugest fan of Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. I know, I know&#8230;blasphemy. That’s not to say I never loved it.  Quite the contrary – for years, I adored the mini-series.  I’ve got it in its original prestige format editions (I miss that format), as well as multiple editions of the softcover, hardcover, and the absolute edition.  I was pretty young when it came out in 1986 and I remember specifically the day my dad took me with him to a comic shop in Queens, NY, where he was dying to get his hands on that final issue. That being said, there are aspects about it I never liked – the Mutants and the way they talked.  Batman’s reference to Robin as a “soldier” still doesn’t sit well with me.  That weird lady with the nazi pasties.  For all the good the story has, some of Miller’s eccentricities just take away from it being a timeless work for me.  As a product of the time it was released in, it’s a great book.  As a timeless tale of the Batman….I think it falls short. Still, there are those, including current Batman writer Scott Snyder, who cited DKR as their favorite Batman story of all time.  And truly, it was a turning point for the character that it still important, despite ultimately being an Elseworlds tale. So when Warner Brothers announced that they’d be adapting the story into not one, but TWO....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have never been to a comic convention.  I have been going to GenCon for many years so I am no stranger to attending geek conventions.  I&#8217;ve  just never had either the time or the inclination to go to a comic convention until recently.   I have only recently returned to comics after a long hiatus.  I was enticed back into the fold with the Flash Point event in DC comics and began reading again in earnest with the launch of DC&#8217;s New 52. I became aware of the Cincinnati Comic Expo through Comic Book World, my local comic shop, and my friend Edgar.  After some minor prodding, I agreed to attend the convention and see what it was like.  I knew that it would not be like what I see on YouTube in regards to SDCC or C2E2 but it was certainly something that I was looking forward to experiencing.  I picked up my two day pass at my comic shop and made plans for the first day of the expo.  As things are wont to do around me, things went a little bit pear shaped.  The plan, of course, was to attend the show with Edgar as he is a veteran of comic conventions having recently attended C2E2 and was in the midst of planning to go to New York Comic Con in October.  I ended up not hearing from him right before the show and the plan fell apart.  I was determined not to miss it though. So,....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a dark and stormy night&#8230;.literally&#8230; For those following along, you’ll recall that yours truly was filling in for our faithful host for this year’s Pauloween event. I last visited Universal on Halloween Horror Nights Media Day, during which I was able to speak with some of the event’s creative team and get a sneak peek into this year’s event. You can find my recap of Media Day here: http://ideologyofmadness.spookyouthouse.com/archives/20355 Based on the preview that I received last week, I was anxious to return to Universal Studios for the official launch night. Halloween Horror Nights 22 features seven houses, roaming scarezones, and two shows. The houses offered this year are split between commercial partnerships with some of pop culture’s biggest icons (AMC’s The Walking Dead, Silent Hill, Penn &#38; Teller’s New(kd) Las Vegas, and Alice Cooper &#8211; Welcome To My Nightmare) and all new Universal original creations (Dead End, Gothic, and House of Horrors). In addition to the annual “Bill &#38; Ted” show, Universal has also added “The 20 Penny Circus” to their roster. There is a reason why Universal consistently wins awards for presenting the best theme park Halloween event and this year’s offerings solidify their standing as the industry leader. Being an annual pass holder myself, I was amazed at how the park is transformed in such short time in between normal hours and the opening of HHN. Scarce traces of Universal’s daily family fare existed as the gates open to dense fog and eerie lighting to....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The new Judge Dredd movie will be hitting theaters this Friday.  I am rather excited to see the movie as I am a fan of Judge Dredd.  There has been much debate among my circle of friends as to whether this will be a good movie.  I, despite my friends misgivings, will be seeing the movie as I know that I will have a good time as it is Judge Dredd on the big screen.  I was pondering a way to prepare myself for the 3D onslaught of the movie and could think of no better way than delving into the Judge Dredd setting via table top role playing game. I did not have to look much farther than Mongoose publishing.  They have a Judge Dredd roleplaying game available on Drive Thru RPG.  It is 274 pages of full color goodness.  As a fan of Judge Dredd, it is a joy just to page through the book and look at all the art from 2000 AD.  I also appreciated the chapter openings as I like the bold styling that they used to introduce each chapter.  The black background, red lettering, and three column style was visually stunning.  I only have one quibble about the look of the book itself and that is with those self-same chapter openings.  The lettering throughout the book is crisp and clean except for in the chapter openings.  Here, they have a sort of out of focus quality which makes the text somewhat difficult to read.  I know it is....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pauloween 2012 is here! We kick off our festivities with an article from new site contributor Kyle, who was able to attend the Halloween Horror Nights Media Day in Orlando, FL yesterday. Tons of great info and pics from this year&#8217;s event below! It’s that time of year again, when for some, the thought of waiting in line for overpriced Pumpkin Spice coffee at Starbucks brings feelings of joy. For the rest of us, today marks the countdown to euphoria by way of having the ever living shit scared out of us by the fine folks at Universal Studios during Halloween Horror Nights 22. Universal Studios held their media day yesterday and I was on hand to meet some of the brains that bring Halloween Horror Nights to life as well as to get a sneak peek at 2 of this year’s haunted houses, before the event opens to the public on Friday, September 21st. Tom Schroder, Vice President of Public Relations opened the event by welcoming us into a room filled with signature pieces of the 7 houses and 6 street experiences that are included in this year’s event. Along with the signature pieces for this year’s houses were blueprints that outlined the house design. This year’s house lineup includes 4 licensed properties (The Walking Dead, Alice Cooper &#8211; Welcome To My Nightmare, Silent Hill, and Penn &#38; Teller New[kd] Vegas) and 3 original creations (Dead End, Gothic, and House of Horrors). While Tom kicked off the event, horror....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the immortal words of Monty Python, &#8220;And now, for something completely different!&#8221; I enjoy music, but it has never been one of those big things for me.  I&#8217;m not the guy that can sit down and name ten albums that have changed my life or has a song that marks the important occasions.  It isn&#8217;t that music doesn&#8217;t move me, because it does. I freely admit to thrashing about as a young adult to the sounds of Nine Inch Nails and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult.  I get my geek on with books and reading.  Music, at most, has been a weak third place for my attention.  I never truly connected with any artist or song at the most primal level that I hear most people speak about when they are geeking about music. I want to tell you that this has all changed and I am now an ardent fan of music but that would be lie.  What I can tell you is that I love Amanda Palmer &#38; The Grand Theft Orchestra.  I can say without reservation that I love their new album Theatre is Evil.  I attribute my discovery of this album to Twitter and this new love to Amanda Palmer and the music itself.  Yes, you read that correctly.  I discovered music via Twitter.  You see, I follow a metric crap-ton of people.  Yes, that is a technical term, look it up. It just happens that I follow Neil Gaiman on Twitter and he happens....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who says you need a book thick enough to stop a bullet to have a heavy simulationist game?  Nights of the Crusades proves that it can be done in only 106 pages. As may be inferred by the title, Nights of the Crusades is set in the Middle East during Medieval Times.  It is a time of conflict and bigotry of all sorts from racism to sexism to religious intolerance.  But the historical crusades are not the only inspiration for Nights of the Crusades.  The famous 1001 Nights also plays a role in the game, with the mythical creatures and supernatural dangers from those stories added to the already dark themes of war and conquest.  This is not the Disney version of these stories and the djinn in the game are malicious, massively powerful creatures that delight in tricking and tormenting mortals. Obviously, given these source materials, Nights of the Crusades is a very dark game.  Even if a player does not particularly want his character to dislike another character, whether player or game master controlled, there is a system of allegiances which insure that it is much easier to be aggressive against people of opposing allegiances than it is to assist them.  Of course, whether or not the character acts on these hatreds is up to the player.  The ranks of these allegiances can change so clever players can manipulate their ranks to make it easier or harder to attack or negotiate with a particular group depending on the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While shopping in Old Navy the other day looking for the newest additions to my Superman Collection, I overheard an interesting conversation from a mom and her son looking over the t-shirt rack. Kid: I want the Bane Shirt. Mom: Okay, do you want Superman too? Kid: Superman’s gay. I’m not here to debate the merits of using the word “gay” to mean uncool – that’s not really the point of this article.  Still, the kid’s response made me realize just how uncool Superman is compared to Batman to the modern audience. Batman is dark and brooding, angry and dressed in black.  He appeals to angry teenagers who identify with him, adults who want to be rich like Bruce Wayne, and kids who love all the cool gadgets.  Superman…is a really good person who’s actually an alien from another planet and dresses in the American flag and can punch things really hard.  No wonder he’s such a hard sell nowadays. When Supermania hit the nation after the character first appeared, patriotism was cool, and a character who fought for truth, justice, and the American Way (the “whitebread” way of life) was sure to be a smash. Times are different now, though.  Even the recent Captain America movie downplayed the patriotism of the character (the “song and dance” show that he was stuck in) and rather emphasized the action and fighting Nazis and super villains. Superman is known for being the ideal man – he’s kind, polite, and generally good hearted. ....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first memories of Shadowrun involve standing in a local bookstore mesmerized by the cover art on the first edition rulebook. My twelve year old brain was captivated by the images of a cybered elf decker, an Amerind duel-wielding Uzis and, to be fair, the female mage sporting a pump-action shotgun, duster, daisy dukes and bikini top was riveting. The 1990s were a Shadowrun golden age for me as second and third edition games were a staple with my various role-playing groups. I spent uncounted hours playing the Sega Genesis game that released in 1995. I voraciously devoured the Shadowrun novels and the collectible card game beguiled me in 1997. However in early 2001 FASA, the original developer, went out of business. The property transferred to WizKids who then licensed the RPG rights to FanPro. The turbulence continued as Topps acquired WizKids in 2003 and although FanPro initially retained the RPG rights they struggled to produce new content after debuting the fourth edition rulebook in 2005. Finally, in 2007, Topps announced that the Shadowrun RPG rights were being transferred to a newly created company named Catalyst Game Labs. Long story short, during all these ups and downs I lost interest in the property. Their line of novels that I loved so much came to an end in 2001. The Shadowrun Duels game from WizKids was atrocious. Despite its title the Shadowrun video game released in 2007 on Xbox and PC had nothing to do with Shadowrun. I would occassionally dust....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zombies are big right now.  I mean really big.  The Walking Dead is a big hit for AMC and a season of this show isn&#8217;t even a full twenty-four episodes.  In addition to the Walking Dead, There are video games, table-top rpgs, card games, dice games, and books all about this subject.  You can not swing an dead cat without hitting something zombie-centric these days.  This has a large down side for me as I am not a fan of this genre.  What little I have read in this genre leans heavily on the stupidity factor.  The setup gives you a group of people who have been surviving and the initiating action is one or more of them doing something out of character to get the ball rolling.  This fucking pisses me off and makes me want to throw the fucking book across the room. So, when a friend provided me a copy of John Hornor Jacob&#8217;s new book, This Dark Earth, I had some reservations.  I trust her recommendations though.  So I took my iPad with me to the county fair and read the book whilst working the booth for the soil and water conservation board.  I was not disappointed.  The book opens up with the first of three main characters that wind their way through out the narrative.  Dr Lucy Ingersol is working at a hospital and lamenting the loss of a recent promotion due to her somewhat cold demeanor and clinical detachment.  At the very beginning, the reader is....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[D Vincent Baker is a big name on the indie game scene.   He is the creator of cool games such as Dogs in the Vineyard, In a Wicked Age, Mechaton, Murderous Ghosts, Poison&#8217;d, and Apocalypse World.  I had not had the pleasure of playing one of his games until GenCon 2012. The first game that I played at Games on Demand ended up being Apocalypse World and I now understand why Vincent Baker has such a reputation. My introduction to the game was a simple set-up.  The MC started out by explaining to us that world as we knew it had ended some time in the past and that nobody alive had any recollection of what that world was like.  What was left in the wake of the fall of society was the psychic maelstrom.  Outside of this, what the world was like was up to us as the players.  We went around the table discussing the various movies that played with the post aopcalyptic tropes and quickly discarded the idea of the desert setting.  It was done to death according to us and we all seemed to have a penchant for Waterworld, despite it being a horrible movie overall.  So, our Apocalypse World would be very similar to this movie but lacking in any Aquaman analog.  After this, the MC described to us the basic mechanics of the system. It was very easy to understand.  Every character has access to a basic set of moves.  These range from....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting bit of news here at Bleeding Cool&#8230; It&#8217;s already been known that Jim Lee is leaving Justice League, but it hasn&#8217;t been stated as to what he&#8217;s working on next.  Though rumors have been rampant about a new WildC.A.T.S. book, I honestly more believed that he&#8217;d take a back seat a little bit from the artist&#8217;s table.  However, if the above rumor (that he and Batman writer Scott Snyder will be teaming for a new Superman: Man of Steel book in 2013, in case you didn&#8217;t click it) holds true, I will be one super happy superfan. Still, this announcement got me thinking &#8212; remember when the market could successfully support Superman titles every week?  I remember reading them all &#8211; Action Comics, Superman, Adventures of Superman, and Man of Steel.  And a quarterly Superman: Man of Tomorrow book for times when a month had 5 weeks.  I miss those days!  Still, let&#8217;s say the market could support that string of Superman titles again.  I mean, Batman has five titles specifically devoted to him (Detective Comics, Batman, Batman and Robin, Batman: The Dark Knight, Batman Inc.), not including his supporting character&#8217;s books.  Maybe, with the right creative teams, we could get Superman every week?  Who would those teams be? Action Comics by Ron Marz and Amanda Conner.  I talked a little bit about this a couple of weeks ago on Funnybooks, though I said J. Michael Straczynski should be the writer.  I stand by that, but I think Ron....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was lucky enough to be able to attend GenCon 2012 in Indianapolis.  While I was there, I was able to indulge in my love for story games to the fullest.  There was a special room setup called Games on Demand and it was staffed by Indie Games Explosion.  They broke the day down into two hour segments and would put games up on a board and you could come in at the beginning of each time segment and try to get into any of the myriad story games that were being run.  The bulk of my gaming at GenCon was to occur here. My first evening at GenCon, I attended the Gen Con Social which was a diner and meet and greet hosted by Jen from the Jennisodes and David from the Podgecast.  I have nothing but raves for the event as everyone was friendly and it was a blast to get to meet so many of the podcasters to whom I listen.  One meeting that turns out to be serendipitous was meeting the folks from The Walking Eye.  It was awesome to meet them and tell them how much I enjoyed their podcast and how they helped me getting started in running the Dresden Files.  They were not able to stay for very long but I was able to find a way to meet up with Allegra to play a game at least once during the convention. It turns out that she was playing Dog Eat....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember the old WB Studio Stores that used to be around?  I really miss that store.  Originally opened in 1991 (with most of them closed in 2001), the store was the central hub for all the Looney Tunes and DC Character memorabilia you could possibly want, included statues, maquettes, and cels from the animated series.  Unfortunately, when the economy tanks, so did a lot of specialty stores, like this, Planet Hollywood, the Disney Store, and more.  Most have some branches open in only major metropolitan areas at this point. But sadly, a central location for all your superhero shopping needs?  Can&#8217;t really think of one.  It&#8217;s a shame too, as most comic shops are just unable to purchase a steady amount of merchandise like that without the promise of sales on the items.  Purchasing a $25 action figure is hard enough, but most of the more expensive items are special order only.  Sometimes you&#8217;ll come across the rare comic shop that has a good selection (Brave New Worlds in Philadelphia comes to mind), but more often than not, you&#8217;re lucky to get a wall in the back of the store, and the most you&#8217;re likely to get is a selection of DC Direct action figures. But given the popularity of comic characters nowadays, could you imagine walking into your nearest mall and seeing the bright shining sign of the DC Universe store?  Come speculate with me after the jump! Recently I went to Six Flags in Maryland (I spoke about....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Previously in Funnybooks, we shared our perspective on Christopher Nolan&#8217;s grand finale to his Batman story, The Dark Knight Rises.  We invited our listeners to share their thoughts as well.  Enter David Slagle. David is a fan of the podcast and crafted a very thorough response that I couldn&#8217;t help myself from sharing here: First thing&#8217;s first&#8211;love the podcast. Listen to it every week. There&#8217;s no better way to enjoy comics (well, short of actually reading them). And I do that too, so don&#8217;t worry. There are still plenty of listeners fighting to keep the stores open, and the artists clothed and fed. Anyway, I&#8217;m writing because you opened Pandora&#8217;s Box, and asked for listener&#8217;s thoughts on Dark Knight Rises. At least I think you did. I might be imagining things, because my cup runneth over with feedback. The short of it is, I&#8217;m Team Aron. While my reasoning isn&#8217;t always the same, I share many of your complaints. The long of it is: 1. The opening Hermit Batman cut me to the quick. Here&#8217;s why. What defines Batman, and in fact most heroes, is their will. Their refusal to bow in the face of defeat. Even Superman gets pushed to a place where he has to dig down, deep inside of himself, and come back up with the will to keep fighting. Superman. The guy who can deflect bullets with his spit curl. If anything, Batman&#8217;s will needs to be stronger. He doesn&#8217;t have powers to fall back on.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings from Gencon, Your intrepid reporter spent the ride to gencon riding shotgun, and strode into Indy at 6pm. I spent most of the time hanging out with Fear The Boot fans, playing Cards Against Humanity, which was a riot, and would recommend for any friends who get together. It is like Mad Libs, but in a totally wrong way. The first day&#8217;s impression was that this place is huge. I understand why Wayne&#8217;s feet hurt. I&#8217;m not complaining, but this spralls out to encompass all of Indianapolis. Downtown Indy didn&#8217;t go to bed, and the place was hoping until I nodded off at 12am. The downside is that most of the events I wanted to get into were sold out My plan is to just wander around, see what I fall into, and maybe dip my toe into the Pathfinder Society on Thursday. I&#8217;m also hoping to score an interview or two (but not Wil Wheaton, sorry fans). Will check in later! Tim]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(note: portions of this post were previously published back in July of 2010.) Trying to discuss the history of Superman in animation, really, deserves a book. There is so much story to tell behind the classic Fleischer Superman cartoons, and all the various incarnations since, that to try to fit it all in one article would not only be futile, it would be an injustice. And we all know Supes is all about the justice. Still, there is one thing we can discuss in our limited space here, and that&#8217;s Superman Animated Movies. We&#8217;re huge fans of Batman animated movies. And, honestly, how can you not be? Mask of the Phantasm, Subzero, Return of the Joker&#8230;the list of quality Batman animated movies is vast. But Superman hasn&#8217;t had a ton of luck when it comes to animated movies &#8211; the Superman animated series by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm is loved by fans, but not quite as much as the Batman one. Not only that, the Superman animated movies don&#8217;t quite have the same following and veneration as Batman&#8217;s. Still, there are a good number of Superman animated movies&#8230;.let&#8217;s rank them after the jump! Rather than go in chronological order, let&#8217;s go in order of quality, from worst to best, starting with the one Superman movie no one wishes existed&#8230;BRANIAC ATTACKS. Let&#8217;s be honest&#8230;no one likes this movie. It&#8217;s, quite simply, one of the worst Superman motion pictures ever made, live action or animated. After the success of Batman vs.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was watching my twitter feed the other day, as I am wont to do.  I saw Charles Stross send out a tweet in regards to Ben Aaronovich.  I did a bit of a head desk and realized that I had not picked up his latest book.  I also repeated the head desk maneuver when I has realized that I had never mentioned this fine series of books to the readers here on Ideology of Madness. Allow me to make recompense for this gross oversight on my part and illuminate you, my gentle readers, in regards to his entertaining first novel in the series, Midnight Riot. Midnight Riot is an urban fantasy/police procedural story set in modern day London.  Peter Grant is a probationary constable on the London police force.  He has dreams of becoming a detective when he comes off of probation.  His dreams are dashed when he is assigned to Case Progression Unit which is the home of glorified paper pushes in his mind.  Everything changes while watching over a crime scene late one night and he meets the only eyewitness to the murder.  The only problem with the witness is that he is dead as well, but just for a much longer time.  This strange meeting with a ghost on a murder case leads to Peter&#8217;s promotion to apprentice wizard under Inspector Nightingale who is the last remaining wizard on the Metropolitan Police Force.  The person that decapitated the first victim is killing again and it is left....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I told you about The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross.  It is the first book in the Laundry files.  I was pleased to find out that Cubicle 7 had put out a role playing game based on this series entitled aptly enough, The Laundry. In order to capture the feel of the books, the authors utilized the same system that is used in Call of Cthulhu.  This percentile system is both light-weight and flexible which makes it easy to learn and allows it to handle the investigative style of the novels well.  A character&#8217;s skill is represented by a percentage and success is determined by rolling that number or less on percentile dice.  Simulation of more difficult or easier circumstances are handled by adding or subtracting a set number to the base skill.   This allows for play to proceed smoothly.  In addition, the Basic Roleplaying System has a sanity mechanic that allows it to emulate the mind-breaking nature of the setting. Two things really stood out for me about this game.  It captures the feel of the books well and provides an excellent reference for the novels. It takes a page from the Dresden Files playbook and has notes from Bob, the main character in the novels, scattered throughout the book.  These asides provide a touch of the snarky humor that you can find easily with the pages of the novels as well as providing for interesting ideas for hooks that could be used to run scenarios.  The advice for running the....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know what&#8217;s funny?  There so so few &#8220;best Superman artists&#8221; of all time listings online, it&#8217;s kind of a crime.  I found only two when I searched Google.  I mean, there have been hundreds of artists who have drawn the Man of Steel &#8211; it&#8217;s surprising how little appreciation there is for them.  Now of course when most people think of Superman, they think of John Byrne&#8217;s seminal Man of Steel series, or perhaps the art of Curt Swan.  I found that the Fleischers also ended up on both lists that I found.  While I agree with all those choices, the below list (after the jump) is going to be the listing of the artists I have enjoyed the most since I&#8217;ve been reading Supes (I was born in 1979), so you&#8217;ll find some more recent choices and, I&#8217;m sure, some you&#8217;ll disagree with.  Also, I primarily stuck with comic artists, rather than designers for animated interpretations (with one exception you&#8217;ll see). So please feel free to talkback in the comments section below, as I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve missed some of the greats! The Death of Superman was a huge event during my comic collecting in the 90&#8242;s.  An event unlike any we&#8217;ve seen since.  Sure characters have died, and there have been big media pushes.  But this was the death of SUPERMAN.  It was unprecedented and, at the time, superhero deaths lasted more than a couple of months.  Hell, some even stuck.  And then there was a break in....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brief summary: Total Recall is a visually exciting film, clearly inspired by Steven Spielberg&#8217;s Minority Report, where everyone in the world lives in England or Australia, but speak with American accents.  While spectacular to look at and quick-paced, the one thing the film lacks that the original had is a sense of humor, instead focusing on spectacle over adventure.  Still, for those who like their action loud and full of kablooie, it&#8217;s worth checking out at the local multiplex. Full review after the jump! I wasn&#8217;t sure how to react to the announcement of a remake of Total Recall.  I mean, I enjoy the heck out of the original, but I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s a great film, per se.  It&#8217;s got Paul Verhoeven&#8217;s touch all over it, and that&#8217;s kind of something you either love or you hate.  And, of course, you&#8217;ve got the patented Ah-nuld one-liners throughout, a sign of the era in which the film was made.  Despite some slight similarities, call-backs to the original, and character names, the remake wisely strays almost entirely from the original (almost like the other Colin Farrell recent remake, Fright Night).  Rather than have a story involving Mars, the new film instead focuses on a future Earth, where Britain and Australia (known as &#8220;The Colony&#8221;) are the only safe places to live after chemical warfare has decimated most of the planet.  A terrorist group known as The Resistance has been causing trouble for the government and, one day after attending a &#8220;mind....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geoff Johns had a pretty successful Green Lantern storyline called Secret Origin, a retcon of the origin of the character that set up storylines like Blackest Night, bringing new characters and concept to the origin and linking them with current continuity.  It was both successful and entertaining, and so DC decided that Johns should bring his magic touch to Superman.  Already deep into a successful run on Action Comics (including issues co-written by Richard Donner and featuring art by Adam Kubert, and featuring a revitalizing of Superman&#8217;s rogues like Zod and the Toyman), it was announced that Johns would team up with Gary Frank (with whom he has just completed an arc on Action Comics) to do a mini-series, Superman: Secret Origin. Announced as the &#8220;definitive&#8221; origin of Superman for the modern, post-Infinite Crisis DC Universe continuity, the story incorporated elements of the movie series and Smallville continuity, showing Clark Kent in his pre-teens as Superboy, meeting a young Lex Luthor in Smallville.  Unfortunately plagued by delays, the six-issue series took almost a full year to come out, and despite positive reviews, many fans didn&#8217;t end up staying all the way through the series. More information and my review after the jump! Superman: Secret Origin had an interesting reaction upon its announcement.  While most fans were excited because the creative team (Geoff Johns and Gary Frank are really a modern dream team), there was also some confusion.  After all, DC had already done a &#8220;definitive&#8221; origin of Superman in 2004&#8242;s Birthright from Mark Waid....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my recent review of Casting Call of Cthulhu, I was pondering my reading within the Cthulhu mythos.  I have read many of the stories by H P Lovecraft and several of those by the inheritors of his legacy.  In spite of my best efforts, I was never a fan of Cthulhu.  It wasn&#8217;t until I discovered the Laundry series by Charles Stross that this changed. The Atrocity Archives is the first book in this series.  This book covers much ground as it introduces;  Bob Howard, the protagonist of the series, The Laundry, the agency Bob works for, and the universe in which the series takes place.  the Laundry is a secret British agency set up for express purpose of protecting the empire from threats from outside of our universe.  Demons, Zombies, and Elder Gods are just a few of the threats that lurk on the other side of reality which is easily accessed via complex mathematical formula.  The connection to the lovecraft mythos becomes evident in the explanation of these forces. there are beings that reside in both higher and lower dimensions and see any activity from our world as an invitation.  In addition to these things which we can control or bargain with, there are things that would destroy us without even noticing.  This easily puts it within the mythos for me with enough of a tweak to make it interesting. It was the spy thriller aspect that the Laundry adds to the lovecraftian milieu which initially piqued my interest.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so maybe I don&#8217;t agree with the decision on how to market the new Man of Steel movie, but it did have an effect on me.  Now I just wanna read a good Superman story.  Of course, if you listen to our podcast, you&#8217;ll know we&#8217;re struggling on that a little bit with some of the current titles.  Heck, for years now we&#8217;ve all been dying for a consistently entertaining Superman book. Well, I&#8217;m tired of waiting &#8230; I&#8217;m in the mood to read some damn Superman, so, by Rao, I&#8217;ll be reading some damn Superman!  I&#8217;ve decided to read at least a storyline a week, and I&#8217;ll be posting the reviews here on the new column In Search of Superman.  In addition to the reviews, we&#8217;ll also be looking at other things we love about the character, exploring the media and memorabilia and (hopefully) even talking to some of our favorite creators.  And sure, there are tons of great sites out there about Superman (www.supermanhomepage.com, for example), but heck&#8230;none of them feature your favorite Funnybooks hosts, do they?  We&#8217;ll probably even drop some audio here in the future &#8211; I know Wayne has been dying to talk about Superman on the mics. So where do we start?  At the beginning?  Nah&#8230;I figured I&#8217;d start with the most recent stuff.  The New 52 Superman.  Review of the first ten issues after the jump! So let&#8217;s get this out of the way right away &#8211; I strongly dislike what DC has done....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Do you Cthulhu? I know I do!  Ok, not as much as I used to but that is only because I&#8217;m getting old. I hear your old man jokes. Get off my lawn! Where was I&#8230;Oh, Do you Cthulhu?  If the answer is yes then I may have a book for you. Casting Call of Cthulhu is a collection of 120 npcs for any Cthulhu game set in the Modern Era written by R J Christensen.  It breaks down these individuals into 15 different categories with eight examples under each category.  Each individual is nicely fleshed out.  You are given a name, an occupation, appropriate stats, and a nice blurb to make the person both interesting to read as well as making it easier for the keeper to create an engaging portrayal of the character. If you are like me, this will be an invaluable reference material.  When I am running Call of Cthulhu, I have difficulty coming up with npcs for my scenarios.  I have no problem creating the npc that will serve as the impetus for the adventure.  The other associated personnel prove difficult for me to both think of and create before hand.  This book solves this problem for me handily.  If the players need a person to stitch up their wounds on the fly, I can turn to this book.  Voila! I have Charlie Ferrari, paramedic ready just for such an occasion.  Problem solved and the players now have a contact with some handy skills....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; You may have noticed that the Knights of Reignsborough are gearing up for another season.  They have released several new Actual Plays for your listening enjoyment.  My favorite so far has been Rogues of Reignsborough: Escape from Dauger Island.  Listening to the players deal with the prison environs was very entertaining but it highlighted for me the amount of work that goes into creating a prison for a supers game.  I can be a lazy gm at times, and I turn to the internet for answers for these labor intensive design issues.  It did not disappoint. The Big House is a complete prison for any super hero role playing game.  It was written by Roman Drum of Scaldcrow Games.  The book itself is mechanics neutral.  It utilizes a simple system for describing relative power levels of things throughout the book.  It represents danger with skulls that range from 1 to 3 and experience by crosses that range from 1 to 5.  There is also a value assignment chart which provides a rough guideline for a bit more defined way of looking at descriptors throughout the book.  This makes it for much easier time when running a game.  It provides a nice guideline for building up whichever piece from the book that you deem important while giving a well rounded feel to everything else. The majority of the book is a rundown of the prison from a top-down perspective.  It begins with an overview of the facility including manufacturer, staffing, capacity....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Monday&#8217;s episode of Funnybooks, you&#8217;ll hear Wayne and I have differing opinions on the effectiveness of the new MAN OF STEEL trailer. I feel that, while pretty to look at, it&#8217;s ineffective as a teaser. Especially since most folks&#8217; issue with the last entry, Superman Returns, was its lack of action. This teaser does nothing to show that MAN OF STEEL will be anything different. Still, what say you? Does this get you hyped for the return of Supes to the big screen? There are two versions &#8211; US and International. International: US: I try to keep in mind that the teasers for the Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises were also kinda lame. But I think Superman is a harder sell than Batman. Here&#8217;s hoping future trailers will bring audiences in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been 9 years since Sandy Collora&#8217;s homage to Batman debuted at San Diego ComiCon. In a 2011 interview with Media Mikes, Collora reflected: It was really just a big experiment. So much of what I was attempting to do, had never been done on film at the time. I wanted to present the Batman that I knew and loved from the comics. A dark, brooding, creature of the night, that didn’t need a rubber suit, nipples or a credit card. That’s really mostly what it was all about. A lot of people didn’t believe I could make the cloth and leather suit work. Even simple things like the white eyes, the over-sized cape, the rain, no one had done those things previously in a Batman film. I think a combination of all those elements is what made it unique. I chose Batman because at that point, I had already made a few short films. No one really seemed to care… I thought if I made a short with Batman in it, people would at least watch it. YouTube has logged more than 3 million views. I loved this thing then and love it still now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever seen the British TV series Connections?  It was a show that first aired in Brittain in 1978.  It had it&#8217;s second season in 1994 and it&#8217;s final season in 1997.  Seeing how it is a bit old, I won&#8217;t hold it against you if you hadn&#8217;t seen it.  I highly recommend combing through the interwebs and finding episodes to watch as they are both entertaining and edifying.  The conceit of the show is that the host, James Burke, would take something from our modern world and show how it can be traced back to some particular historical instance.  My favorite episode is one of the older ones called The Long Chain that linked plastics to the development of the Dutch Fluyt in the 16th century. You are most probably wondering why I am talking about an old British TV series when the title of this post is Hedy&#8217;s Folly.  The reason is simple as the style of the book has the very same feel as the TV show.  Richard Rhodes approach to this book was to give you something that is ubiquitous in the modern world and provide the historical point of origin in the past and work the reader forward.  In the case of Hedy&#8217;s folly, Rhodes starts with wifi and cellphones and connects them back to the invention of signal hopping that was created by Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil. Yes, you read that correctly.  The technology that allows my iPhone and other internet connected items to....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let’s face facts: most adventurers are homicidal, if not genocidal maniacs. Even in the best of circumstances, they beat up the bad guys in less than legal circumstances and more often than not, they simply slaughter sentient beings and loot their dead bodies. In darker games, the characters are not even expected to have a moral excuse for performing such slaughter; they are simply giving in to their accursed nature. Pie Shop takes this often overlooked fact of role playing to all new levels. In fact, the game takes it to a level where it is the very core of the game. In Pie Shop the characters (it is impossible to think of them as heroes in even the loosest terms, even “anti-hero” is too nice a title for them) are serial killers. The author goes to great lengths to convey the skewed, dark and downright creepy nature of his subject matter. Each chapter begins with a scene from Alice in Wonderland but the excerpts are altered so that Alice is a killer who leaves a bloody path in her wake as she travels through Wonderland. The game text itself is written in a twisted, slightly insane style and from the perspective of one killer talking to another, a sort of psychotic mentor. This writing includes the obligatory piece of flavor text but even this is knocked sideways from expectations by taking a sudden, violent, dark turn in the middle that is all too appropriate for the game. Reading Pie....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some sci fi games feature hard science settings with very realistic rules for gravity, faster than light travel and high tech weapons. Other games are basically designed for space operas. These games feature artificial gravity, ship travelling as fast as they need to to get to the plot and the only limitations on weapons are how cool they are. Then, there is …In Spaaace! by Greg Stolze. If Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has a genre and there are other stories in it, this is the game to play them. The game is fairly short, both the setting and rules encompassing only 15 pages but that is really all that’s needed for the subject. The setting information takes up the first half of the book but in those 7 pages players get all they need to know about the ridiculousness of living in this particular future. Much like the world in Hitchhiker’s Guide, the ideas presented in this book are nothing more than the trends that currently exist in the real world taken to their logical, ridiculous extreme. And there’s more than a hint of philosophy thrown into the descriptions for good measure. For instance, Artificial Stupidity is just as important a part of Machine Consciousness in …In Spaaace! as Artificial Intelligence. This makes perfect sense since we constantly rate whether or not a computer is self aware based on how much it acts like a human. A computer can be perfectly logical, far more logical than humans and thus....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went and saw The Amazing Spider-Man over the weekend.  Prior to its release, I really wasn’t sure that I wanted to see this movie.  All the trailers indicated that this was a retelling of the origin story.  I am rather familiar with the origin story of Spider-Man and had a difficult time becoming interested in seeing this particular story again.  Sadly, I find it difficult to say no to a visit to the local cinema.  I swiped my card, picked up my popcorn and Coke Zero, and headed in to what I believed would be a disappointment. I was wrong. The Amazing Spider-man was an entertaining geek movie.  The casting choices worked really well for me.  Andrew Garfield plays the quirky and intelligent outsider well.  I really liked Emma Stone’s portrayal of Gwen Stacy.  She came across as strong, smart, witty and approachable without wooden feel that came across in the previous movie’s Mary Jane.  Instead of having J Jonah Jameson as the putative dog on Spider-Man’s heels, the movie introduces Captain Stacy, chief of Police, played by Denis Leary.  I appreciated not having the over-the-top caricature that is J Jonah Jameson in the movie.  Captain Stacy presents pragmatic reasoning behind wanting to apprehend Spider-Man.  His conversations with Peter Parker provide a welcome counterpoint to Peter’s burgeoning idealism.  This added depth to both characters. The origin story was a little bit of a twist.  The introduction of his parents was a little jarring for me as I do not....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is about fucking time. I&#8217;ve played D&#38;D for quite some time.  After so many years of exposure to the standard fantasy races, I was quite bored with them.  It wasn&#8217;t until D&#38;D 4E that these core races were changed up some.  Previous editions had presented optional races but they suffered from both poor execution, power creep, and the stigma that was attached to splat books of the time.  One of my hopes was that Pathfinder would take a tack similar to 4E and make variations of the standard races and create new ones to provide a much needed energy boost to the genre.  This wish was not granted until now. This book provides players and gms alike a toolbox for character creation.  It provides a new way of dealing with the core races in Pathfinder.  Introduces a new set of races with fiction to place them within the Pathfinder setting.  Finally it provides a mechanic for players and gms to create races that they would like to see in play with examples of the 4E races presented as sidebar information. If you have had a waning interest in Fantasy roleplaying due to the same boring races, this will provide a new perspective on old favorites.  It takes the tropes that are easily associated with the core fantasy races and provides a modular system for adjusting them to fit a variety of different needs.  One of things that I appreciated was a set of adjustments to take each race and....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you looking for some summer reading?  Are you looking for something that promises psychic dinosaurs, world-conquering gorillas, Atlantis, two fisted action, and pulpy goodness?  Then do I have a recommendation for you. Dinocalypse Now is the first foray into fiction by Evil Hat Productions.  They enlisted the talents of Chuck Wendig to create a story based on the game Spirit of the Century.  The game’s setting is a brighter version of the pulp novels of the early twentieth century.  The predecessors to this story are illustrious and include; The Shadow, The Rocketeer, Sky King, Doc Savage, Wu Fang and many others. The book opens in grand pulp style with Jet Black hurtling to the earth contemplating how this is going to appear to Sally Slick.  He had been given the easiest job in protecting FDR during his speech here in New York City and now he is the one plummeting to his doom.  In addition to these two, the cast of characters includes Mack Silver, Professor Khan, and several other members of the Century Club.  We follow the exploits of these stalwart heroes as they struggle to save the world from the conqueror gorilla Khan and his army of dinosaurs. The action in this novel is quick and light with plenty of cliffhangers as one would expect from something so rooted in pulp fiction.  The prose flows easily and keeps you moving quickly from chapter to chapter.  The characterization is done with a deft touch giving you enough about....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After watching Prometheus, I decided I needed a dose of good science fiction.  This was a problem for me as I have not kept up with the genre and had no clue where to begin.  It was a face-palm moment when I realized that I was following a great science fiction author already. I found John Scalzi’s blog Whatever about two years ago and had made it one of my daily visits when I hit the internet.  I enjoyed his insights on varied topics and his Big Idea series had introduced me to several authors that I now read religiously.  I was sad to realize that I had not picked up any of his books and this was the perfect time to do so. I decided the best place to start was with his first book Old Man’s War which was published in 2005.  This was the story of John Perry.  On his 75th birthday he did two things.  He visited his wife’s grave and he joined the army.  Now, I know that may sound kind of crazy but it becomes clearer as the book eases you into the setting. We learn, along with John, that the earth is actually a backwater planet.  Progress has slowed to a crawl.  The promise of an extended life draws people to join the CDF at 75 years old.  By joining, the person becomes legally dead on earth and promises never to return.  The question that plagues John is how they will utilize a....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to go see Prometheus in Imax 3D.  It was a friend&#8217;s birthday, and this was his choice of celebratory entertainment.  I had seen previews for the movie previously but had not been aware of the controversy of whether or not this was an alien prequel.  The trailers had made it rather obvious that this was, at minimum a prequel to Alien if not a retelling of that story with access to modern movie-making technology. This was my first exposure to Imax 3D and I have to say that I was impressed.  I have seen other movies presented in the standard realdD 3D, and for the most part it has not really looked any better.  Those movies also suffered in my estimation as I would get a headache from watching the movie through two sets of glasses.  This was not the case with Imax 3D.  I didn&#8217;t get a headache just from the effect itself, though the two pairs of eye glasses was still annoying.  It also added to the spectacle of an already visual engrossing movie.  I will have to admit that if friends want to see a 3D movie again I will strongly suggest seeing it in Imax 3D. My thoughts on the movie itself are quite mixed.  It is visually stunning and I would expect nothing less from Ridley Scott.  The opening sequences were gorgeous.  We are treated to a majestic alien vista where we are shown how the Engineers work....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a fan of cross-genre gaming.  I was intrigued when I was introduced to Suzerain: Pocket Universe as the back cover description showed that this was a game that was solidly within my wheelhouse. In this game, your character is a hero that is a representative of the gods.  Their adventures can span the breadth of time and space or just fill up one little corner of your universe.  This book is published by Savage Mojo and written by Zach Wellhouse.  It is a conversion of the Suzerain game to the Savage Worlds game system.  The first part of the game is dedicated to explaining the changes that have been made to Savage World system to better accommodate Suzerain.  The major change that you will notice is the increase in level.  Instead of play ending at Legendary, a new level has been added and appropriately named Demigod.  The purpose in this addition was to give players access to the level of play that one would expect from a cross-genre game such as Suzerain.  Character retirement is now recommended at 180 xp as they are now gods founding their own pantheons.  In addition to this change there are several minor tweaks made to how the system runs.  Bennies are renamed Karma and given extra benefits whilst Power points are renamed Pulse and the Fatigue track was extended to allow for social and mental fatigue to be introduced. Character creation is not ignored as new Edges and Hindrances are introduced in this book to be....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is safe to say that John Carter did not do as well as Disney would have liked. It is pretty clear by now that it is more on the Prince of Persia end of the profit scale than on the Pirates of the Caribbean end. That’s a shame, really. The original John Carter books are fine examples of good pulp action and tons of sci-fi stories and franchises have mined the stories for ideas and themes. Many of the things that we take for granted as being part of the sci-fi landscape come from places like the John Carter stories, Flash Gordon and the writing of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. If the movie had done well, there could have been an explosion of interest in these pulp stories that would have benefitted nerds everywhere. That’s no doubt what Adamant Entertainment was hoping for with their Mars supplements. But, despite the lack of success of the John Carter movie, we can still enjoy some of the gaming that gained its inspiration from the same source. Adamant has published a number of adventures and supplements that revolve around the pulp Mars. The first, Blood Legacy of Mars begins with a coup and a loyal servant fleeing the bloody massacre of the royal family with the infant heir to the throne in her arms. It picks up decades later when this heir is a grown man who believes himself to be nothing more than the son of a whore. He is....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the title, it’s not hard to guess what kind of adventure Strike Force 7: Operation Winter Kill is going to be. If there is any confusion, though, let me clarify. It is an action movie turned into a Savage Worlds adventure. That’s no criticism as the Fast! Furious! Fun! style of Savage Worlds fits an action movie plot perfectly. In fact, a useful way to determine if a Savage Worlds adventure is going to be good is to try to imagining Arnold Schwarzenegger from the 80’s starring in it. If you can, it’s going to be good. In keeping with the action movie vibe of Winter Kill the plot involves the U.S. in a three way struggle with the U.S.S.R. and a terrorist organization known as Skorpion. As if the cold war tension was not enough, having a group known as Skorpion gives the adventure a very action movie feel. With all that, the adventure is not meant to be comedic or satirical. It is actually presented rather seriously. In fact, two ways to run the game are given depending on how intensely the GM wants to run the game. The first way is cinematic and fits the action movie theme while the second is much more realistic, and thus lethal and dangerous. But even with the cinematic method, the adventure is serious and is intended to be played as a Spec Ops adventure. One of the interesting things that Winter Kill presents is the idea of Real Time....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you like cyberpunk?  Do you like post-apocalyptic settings?  Well then, I may have found something that might interest you.  Interface Zero: San Francisco is a city book for Interface Zero by Gunmetal Games.  In case you were wondering, Interface Zero is a setting that utilizes the Savage World rules.  The year is 2088 and the world is a very different place.  global warming has taken its toll, devastating many coastal cities.  Many areas of the world have been ravaged by nuclear war, leaving them nothing but irradiated wastelands.  The United States has broken into several small warring factions due to these events and large corporations have as much power as nations in this new world.  Interface Zero: San Francisco provides a more in-depth look at a different type of city for this setting. San Francisco, The city by the bay, is not the metropolis that it was in the past.  As a coastal city, Its suffering began with global warming as it lost large tracts of real estate to the rising waters.  The city was further victimized by both war and natural disasters.  The city was hit by several nukes during the war and was later struck by the strongest and longest earthquake on record.  All these things have worked to put the city of San Francisco on life support, but it isn&#8217;t dead yet.  This book provides a more detailed look at the San Francisco of 2088.  It breaks down the city into smaller geographic areas and groups them around recognizable areas....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is an an app called Goodreads that I use to track books I have read, keep a list of books I would like to read, and keep up-to-date on the books and blogs of my favorite writers.  My to-read list in the app currently stands at 19.  This list has grown so large as I have had neither the time nor inclination to read long form fiction as of late.  The growing size of this list was distressing though.  Being OCD, I had to take some action to stem the growing tide of books that needed to be read.  To that end, I purchased Mortal Coils by Eric Nylund and dedicated some time to reading.  I am glad I did. Mortal Coils is the story of Fiona and Eliot Post.  They are 15 year-old twin orphans that are being raised by their grandmother and great grandmother.  Their lives are strictly regimented and order is maintained by adherence to over 132 rules that their grandmother has set forth.  This oppressive regime extends even to education as the children are home schooled and therefor have little interaction with other people outside of the job that they have just recently started.  As the story unfolds, we are quickly introduced to several shadowy figures that are searching for the twins.  The discovery of the twins illuminates the true purpose behind all the rules under which they have lived.  They served the two-fold purpose of keeping them hidden from their relatives and to keep the twins ignorant....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a fan of Vampires and werewolves.  If there is a movie that involves either of these monsters, I will give it a shot.  This predilection causes me to see some awful movies.  It was the reason that I went out with friends last weekend and saw Dark Shadows.  It was not a bad movie but it wasn&#8217;t a good movie either. Dark Shadows stars Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, and Eva Green.  The movie follows the plot of the original soap opera from 1966.  Barnabas Collins, played by Johnny Depp, is a powerful playboy in Maine during the 1700&#8242;s.  He breaks the heart of a young witch during one of his many flirtations.  In retribution, she curses his family, kills his only true love, and ultimately turns him into a vampire.  Her final retribution is to imprison him in a coffin and bury him.  He is freed from his prison in 1972 and begins the process of finding his family and recovering the wealth and power that the witch has stripped from him over the intervening centuries.     The bulk of the movie is taken up by Barnabas Collins trying to reintegrate into his own dysfunctional family and a society that has long since left him behind while dealing with the witch that has brought all this upon him. The trailers for the movie give you the feeling that this is a comedy. This is not a lie but a bit of an exaggeration.  The movie tries to....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It embarrasses me a little to admit that it took me three of the Savage Worlds genre companions before I realized that the same woman was presented on each cover. She is simply changed to fit the genre contained within the book. The red-headed Amazon on the cover of the Fantasy Companion is the red-headed flying heroine on the cover of the Super Powers Companion and the red-headed vampire on the cover of the Horror Companion, simply adapted to each genre. The cover art is not the only thing the companions share, though. Each of them also includes extensive rules to modify the simple core Savage Worlds mechanics to make them an appropriate gaming system for each genre. As in the other companion books, these genre mechanics begin with edges and hindrances in the Horror Companion. These edges and hindrances alone do a great deal to help foster the feel of a horror game. Horror Companion hindrances include things like Bleeder and Screamer while the edges are things like Necromancer and Monster Hunter. It should not be hard to guess the purpose of those hindrances and edges given the names and all of the edges and hindrances presented in the book reproduce classic features displayed by characters in horror stories. The player section of the book also includes a number of new character races. This is one place where the Horror Companion noticeably diverges from its sister books. The Fantasy Companion has a short section of fantasy appropriate races which....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can keep GenCon and Origins. For my money, the best two days in gaming is Fear the Con. Now, I will admit to being ridiculously biased as I’ve never been to either GenCon or Origins, so there is nothing scientific about my opinion. But I can’t imagine either of those bigger conventions beating 26 hours of gaming in a 48 hour period interspersed with hanging out with some of my favorite gamers. People say GenCon is like going to a class reunion at the high school you wanted to go to but my high school was only 200 people, so the idea of being surrounded by tens of thousands of people, even ones who share my hobby holds no appeal to me. I also get the feeling that GenCon is as much about announcements and sales as it is about really gaming. This is not true of Fear the Con. Other than a booth from a local gaming store, there is nothing for sale. There is no wandering the dealer hall because there is no dealer hall. While this might disappoint some people, it fits what I want perfectly as all the focus is on playing, playing, playing. Hanging out with a hundred or so people who are focused on gaming, having fun and sharing their love of not only the games but the community and the con..that’s pretty close to perfect for me. I’ve been to Fear the Con all five years that it has existed and almost....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the release and success of the Avengers over the weekend, I thought that talking about barriers to entry into comics would be a good topic.  You are most probably wondering how these two things correlate and I will enlighten you as to the connection.  Everyone is aware that Avengers is a comic book movie but the amount of people seeing the movie exceeds the number of people that read comics.  The success of the movie provides a nice gateway into the hobby but I can see two major barriers to converting the audience into comic readers.  I am not going to say that they do not read, though this is a barrier that all printed materials share.  Instead, I am going to say that the difficulty will be in them finding where to pick up comics in the first place and what to do with them after they&#8217;ve read them. Finding where to purchase comics is the first barrier facing new people to the hobby.  You can not just go to Walmart or Barnes and Nobles to pick up a comic book and for some areas it can be a trip of 45  minutes just to get to a comic book store.  This problem was highlighted for me at the Avengers movie over the weekend.  The movie-going experience has long included commercials before the feature presentation.  These commercials range from nothing more than a slow slide show with music ran over top to almost TV-show quality productions.  The thing that I didn&#8217;t....]]></description>

Aron, Wayne, Tim, and Andrew were all at Fear the Con this weekend, leaving Paul to fend for himself in the scary podcasting waters.  What was he to do?  Luckily, some loyal listeners, Ray and Rob, volunteered to join him for a special episode about this weekend&#8217;s huge blockbuster hit, The Avengers. They talk about their favorite scenes, characters, moviegoing experiences and&#8230;perhaps most importantly&#8230;what you do to get that Avengers fix after the movie! Whether you read comics regularly or not, if you enjoyed the movie, give this episode a listen! Warning: You are entering a spoiler-rich environment! If you haven&#8217;t seen The Avengers yet and do not wish the movie spoiled for you, download and listen AFTER you&#8217;ve seen it. Along those lines, we have included our interview with Jim Starlin from last year who also spoiled a little key information from the movie. 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’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? Jim Starlin produced the third volume of his creator owned BREED over at Image Comics. It’s a horror story centering on the activities of Ray Stoner who is half-demon, half-man.

Along those lines, we have included our interview with Jim Starlin from last year who also spoiled a little key information from the movie.
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’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?

Jim Starlin produced the third volume of his creator owned BREED over at Image Comics. It’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’s Epic Illustrated. Beyond that initial serialized story, Dreadstar moved onto his own original graphic novel followed by a monthly under Marvel’s Epic banner followed by a series at First Comics and then a mini-series at Malibu.

And Aron isn&#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.

		<description><![CDATA[I may not have mentioned it, but I have a penchant for action movies.  Hell, I&#8217;ve seen every Transformers movie despite them being wretched.  Michael Bay may not be able to keep a plot together with a hammer and nails but he damn well knows how to blow shit up.  When I saw that Jason Statham had a new movie coming out, I knew that I would be heading to the cinema to see it. Safe is a an action movie in the vein of Man on Fire.  Statham plays Luke Wright, a broken man with a dark past.  This is nothing new in the action genre but it is a character I enjoy seeing portrayed on the screen.  Safe takes a different direction than one would expect for an action movie.  Instead of beating you over the head with the action from the very beginning of the movie, you are given a peak into what has brought the two main character to this point.  The movie gives a nod to Hitchcock with the true thrust of the movie starting on a subway platform with the chance meeting of our two main characters.  Wright, despite being wrapped in despair, spies the frantic flight of eight year old Mei from her pursuers.  Instead of following this thread to its violent end, we are taken back in time and introduced to the two protagonists.

		<description><![CDATA[I could think of no better way to tie up the theme of badassery than by telling you about the novel Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth. Let me start off by giving you the elevator pitch.  Blood Oath is equal parts The Bourne Identity, World of Darkness, and H P Lovecraft.  It takes urban fantasy and seamlessly integrates it with the spy thriller genre.  The setting is our modern world but with elder horrors lurking at the edge of reality, werewolves leading organized crime in Russia, and mad scientists creating horrors to be used as weapons of mass destruction.  In this world, every nation needs an operative that can work within these supernatural shadows.  The United States has Nathaniel Cade. Nathaniel Cade, also known as the President&#8217;s vampire, serves the interests of the United States by keeping the nation safe from supernatural threats.  The book opens with a military strike team observing a deal being brokered in a former soviet block nation.  The perspective the reader is given is that of a special forces sniper watching the proceedings after having gone radio silent.  The tableau that unfolds has the deal going sour and the sniper taking the shot despite orders to not engage the Russian operatives.  Instead of this ending an ugly confrontation, it just escalates the violence as the operative transforms into a werewolf and leaps to the window where the sniper is positioned.  Before the rampaging werewolf has a chance to eviscerate the sniper, Cade joins the fray.  The action is quick, brutal....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hailed as sharply written and produced, The Variants is a web series set in a comic shop telling stories of the mostly fictional personalities that work there.  The series has enjoyed notable guest stars such as Scott Kurtz, Ben Templesmith and Mark Waid.  On the heels of completing season 2, The Variants is gearing up for season 3&#8230; and is seeking your help! My absolute favorite episode of The Variants after the jump!]]></description>
