Betty Cooper, Amnesiac Mud Wrestler

Posted by Jaime Weinman Published in Archie (Improved Or Otherwise), Comics, WTF

I don’t think any comic book of the ’70s had as much insane shit in it as Archie at Riverdale High. And that’s saying a lot, because we are talking about the ’70s here. But this title, launched in the early ’70s as a home for “serious” stories focusing on academic or athletic issues, packed […]

Perhaps the least impressive superhero catchphrase ever

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, WTF

For those interested, Yank and Doodle are the kid sidekicks of the Black Owl, a superhero who wears blue and red and therefore makes no sense. The Black Owl is a suburban family man and Yank and Doodle are his sons, but Yank and Doodle are not aware that the Black Owl is their father […]

The Best Movies Of 2009 (Vaguely In Order)

My slightly late decade round-up post

Posted by Matthew Johnson Published in Comics

Retrospectives, whether of a year, decade or century, are really predictions: what willl still be appreciated in ten years or longer? What will history forget, and what will it view kindly? With that in mind, I’m going to nominate the past ten years as the decade non-fiction comics went mainstream. So far as the last […]

See sale on Steam. Purchase Max Payne and Max Payne 2 because they are cheap and I like those games and wouldn’t mind playing them again. Install games. Games do not work. Go on Steam forums. Look for patches/issue fixes. Attempt fixes. Games still do not work. Uninstall. Download warez copies of games. Install them. […]
