Manga-A-Day 5 – Gunparade March v2 Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

As noted previously, we're continuing with cautious optimism here. While things start off fairly light, with a hunt for food and then preparation of the inevitably bad cooking when the wrong ingredient is used, but then we spiral rapidly downward with the inevitable character death (hey, it is ...

Manga-A-Day 4 – Gunparade March v1 Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

The character designs/artwork that I've seen for Gunparade March, and more specifically the anime, have always intrigued me, so, when Big Brain Comics started a huge manga sale a couple weeks ago ($20 for as much manga as you can stuff into a bag, the source of much ...

Architecture Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Hmm, idle musings. For the last week or so, there's been an odd little surge in architectural things that have caught my eye. First the discovery of the LEGO Architecture line (managed to grab the Sears Tower and John Hancock Building models this weekend, by ...



DVD-A-Day 3 – Princess Minerva Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Let's see... a D&D-style fantasy with a questionable plot, short runtime, loads of violent women wearing a minimum of clothing, the oh-ho-ho-ho laugh, nonstop 'funny' moments (with full gag soundboard), a random musical number, almost zero character development, and the occasional set of tits.

Opening with another short, Rally's gotten a gig as a firearms instructor at another shooting range and proceeds to school a group of people who have a very Hollywood-based view of handling firearms, explicitly copying Keanu Reeve's gun-fu in The Matrix and the various antics found ...

Ryu’s Form Site Monday, May 25th, 2009

Ryu's Form Site
It seems that in addition to Falcoon coming back to life, Ryu's Form Site, last updated in early October, has also started updating again. As he's prone to posting a one-off and disappearing again, I held ...



DVD-A-Day 2 – Metalocalypse Season 2 disc 2 Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Wow, okay, consider my complaint about downplaying the story that was building rescinded, the second half of the season absolutely delivers on that front, especially the last installment. The third faction gains power, Nathan starts dating again, life shits all over Toki (though it provides him with ...
