I’m still trying to read a few more 2014 books before the end of the year, and next up is Edgar Cantero’s The Supernatural Enhancements.

There are those few people in the world who truly touch your heart and are a source of inspiration for all your creative endeavors. In this case, I’m talking about the works of Hayao Miyazaki. His work has been some of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in animation. If you haven’t seen any

But if you’re looking for a fun, violent, blood-and-gore sci-fi
It’s been one year folks. A year since we were introduced with the steaming pile that was Call of Duty: Ghosts. A year since I pretty much told myself that I would never touch Call of Duty again. And yet, here we are, a year later and, like an amnesiac with a tendency for masochism,
“Well, honey, maybe you should pretend to be dead.” “What?” The gunman looked up from the wounded on the floor, and I could see the glitter of eyes through the two holes in the mask. He was staring straight at me. “If there’s no way to get to safety,” she said carefully, “maybe you should
When I was growing up my introduction to Batman wasn’t a dark or broody character. He was very campy and helping the Scooby Doo Gang solve mysteries, or chilling out with his Super Friends. Granted, as I was growing up, so was the character of Batman, into that dark character that I love today. The
