Your Fanboy Enthusiasm Is Good – FOR ME TO POOP ON

Posted by MGK Published in Gaming

Was anybody else hoping that Blizzard would, I dunno, release an entirely new game rather than going back to the same old wells again and again and again? I mean, they’ve got some of the best creative staff in gaming, period, both from a design/coding and story/art perspective. Surely they could manage something a bit […]

I Call Dibs On “*.mgk”

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets

People in charge of regulating domains open up a veritable shitload of new domain types.

I wanna play too

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

So Poptown and Sims and Church are busy competing for the “most 90s comic book cover ever,” and I think I have a contender right here. I would like to make the additional point that DarkChylde more perfectly encapsulates the 90s comic experience than any of their entries, because as a title it lurched from […]

Dear god: please give Mary Murphy laryngitis forever and ever. Thank you in advance. Kherington and Twitch: hip-hop. Passable, although as usual Kherington’s problems (most notably the Smile That Never Goes Away and more than one or two points where she just wasn’t hitting the beats hard enough) are glossed over in favour of Twitch’s […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: Lord Shilling

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Okay, I know that Tomahawk is DC’s Revolutionary War hero (complete with vaguely NAMBLAesque sidekick situation, just so you know he’s a DC property), but even so, the idea of a dastardly villain who is a British officer is still kind of comical. It’s totally a mindset thing; you have to initially shake off the […]

I’m Callin’ Bullshit

Posted by MGK Published in Politics, The Internets

There’s been a recent spate of right-wing blogs all saying the same thing: “Now, I’m not racist, but how come all those small-town Iowans are so much more supportive and self-reliant than those big city New Orleans folks were during their disaster?” Examples range from Tigerhawk’s relatively polite, only implied comparison, to Girl On The […]

COMIC TALKING POST: Special Multimedia Edition

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Flicks, TV

ITEM! The Middleman debuts on the teevee. Unlike a lot of the comic blogosphere, I didn’t read the comic first, so I have the benefit of not having any expectations when considering it as a TV show, and I will say this: while entertaining enough, the dialogue (wherein you can practically hear the panels changing) […]

Well, I’m coming to the one-year mark of providing what can theoretically be dubbed “entertainment” here on mightygodking.com, and really I’m horribly gratified to see the readership steadily climb upwards; it’s worth noting, to me at least, that this site has finally broken into Technorati’s Top 10K Of The Web (“except for real sites like […]

You might think this is sappy. Tough.

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write The Legion

The multiverse moves. It moves around itself. Think of it as an enormous wheel – you can most easily travel to any point on the wheel by traveling to and from the center. Which just means you need a way to get to the center. That’s why I called my ship the Spoke. Of course, […]

X-actly

Posted by MGK Published in The Miscellaneous Sciences And Crap Like That

The folks over at Balloon Juice are mocking John McCain’s proposal of an “X-Prize”-like monetary prize incentive for developing more efficient batteries. The general thrust of criticism is that if you’re going to have government investment in business, better to have it targeted for research efforts that pay off faster than as an undirected, unorganized […]

Bad habits.

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Gaming, Here's A Lot Of Photoshops, Photoshopp'd

ME: You know, I rather think the whole Photoshopping thing is getting a bit predictable these days. MYSELF: I was thinking that myself. I mean, it’s almost getting to be a schtick, isn’t it? ME: And you’ve got to figure there’s more interesting things to Photoshop than just grabbing a selection of some element of […]
