  3. Books, books, books...

    since you lined Luminaries you should check out The Ghost of the Mary Celeste & The Infatuations
  4. Books, books, books...

    Re-reading The Dog Stars by Peter Heller and reading the new Peter Matthiessen book, In Paradise. Both are brilliant and profound in their exploration of the dark crooks and crannies of the human soul; highly recommend then.
  5. Who are your personal heroes?

    No one but there are people which I highly respect and they're mostly writers, cartoonists and directors. Heroes will fail you and it makes it easier on you that you see the people you respect without the hero glasses; allows you to internalize their failings better and see they're human too.
  6. Idle Thumbs 161: The Eyes of Luigi

    it was. For some reason I skim the thread first before I listen and saw people talking about their FEAR experience and I wanted to tell mine. Once I listened to the cast, I realized the ignorance of my post. Oh well, that's what happens when you jump in without knowing.
  7. Idle Thumbs 161: The Eyes of Luigi

    FEAR'S AI is something to experience and I remember being blown away by it when it first came out. I vividly remember hiding from the enemies and one of them had me pinned. I ducked behind cover and I just waited for the situation to calm down a bit. Out of nowhere one of them jumps throw a window, turn my way mid-air and blow my face away with his shotgun. I never expected something like that. The enemies take amazing initiatives to try take you out that is yet to be seen even now in modern FPS games. Also Freddie Gibbs + MK 8 gifs = the best

    Kombucha with Yogurt does wonders! Also, life is motherfucking great. The person I'm seeing is going well and I'm going to be cooking dinner for her tomorrow.
  9. Idle Thumbs 158: P is for Podcast

    Chris, your dream Wario game is: Wario creating a death dungeon for Mario or Lugi but little did Wario know.... WARIO ACTUALLY CREATED THE DUNGEON FOR HIMSELF TO GO THROUGH! Then shit gets trippy. Edit: Sean talking about his cat reminded me of the beginning of Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye.

    Also, Frank Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours is the best album to listen to when after a break-up. Seriously.
  13. Life

    If anyone remembers, I was going through a really bad break-up and had to adjust to living alone (went out almost five, lived together four). Good news, everybody! I'm feeling a fuckton better. I've gotten over the I-miss-you-please-come-back hump. I can even look at photos of us and items she left before and not have a wave of melancholy wash over me. Going to be doing kickboxing in the summer, been working on my reviews, and keepin' busy.
  14. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    Almost done with Weapons of Mass Diplomacy and this comic is COTY material. No wonder it wonder Angoulême last year.
  15. Ehh, those drawings are rather tame.

    Fucking Cincinnati, I'm glad I left that place. I still have all my friends and family there but I'm never moving back there. Though I will be back there during Christmas to visit my parents.
  17. it sounds awesome.D/ling when I get home.
  18. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    101% agree.Oh, he offered my friend James a five page back-up for Prophet! And of course my friend took it. https://twitter.com/larrybvossler/status/457959311264595968 Roy and Graham did this
  19. Movie/TV recommendations

    great fucking movie.I love how little we know about the characters but enough to give us a picture. The soundtrack matched with the cinematography, oh! Beautiful!
  20. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    Oh! Two "new" reviews are up on the blog. I agree with Lansbury. If I were you, skip it, the art doesn't save the series because Fraction's writing is so bland. The Boxer is coming out soon and I recommend that instead of Casanova.
  21. There's also robot news of that Japanese robot dancing for Obama. Oh! I have a couple great vomit stories.
  22. Life

    Better late than never. Speaking of panic attacks, I had a really bad one mid-last year. I thought I was having a heart-attack and I literally broke down in front of my grocery story, then I went to work and broken down there, haha. I was given some Xanax (lowest dose possible) and took them for a couple months and it helped me get on track.
  23. Life

    I know that feeling. Been fighting depression on and off for most of my life and it never gets better. Well, I don't take pills or go psychiatrist but I've learned how to adapt and assimilate my depression into my everyday life. Now instead of it hitting me everyday, it ebbs and flows
