While surfing the web, I stumbled across something that caught my undivided attention. This particular article described a world where console gaming was a thing of the past, and video games could be accessed via cable box. I was not really enthralled about this news. I do see the positives, but I feel like there will be negatives to this as well, as far as gaming goes.

The Man Who Broke the Bat
I've been on a comic kick as of late, mostly due to my own experimentation with comic strip writing (Corgi Superhero). I recently finished Volume 1 of a Batman essential, Knightfall. I went into this book knowing that a lot of its elements were used for The Dark Knight Rises, but that was the extent of it. I am not an expert in comic reviews, but I will tell you what I liked and disliked.

Comics Do Good Things Hilariously!
I've been a fan of Flight of the Conchords since their HBO special in 2005ish. If you don't know who they are, you can find tons of videos on youtube, but just for the sake of keeping you interested in reading the rest of this post, they are a comedic duo, that plays their own original music, and act. They are well known for their self-titled HBO television series. They are also independently successful with various acting roles in MiB3, Gentlemen Broncos, and Lord of the Rings. They are originally from New Zealand but have gained international notoriety with their hilarious and catchy tunes.

Bates Motel Strikes Gold
I rarely get excited about programs based solely on their casting decisions, but every once in a while I get surprised. With movies it's a bit easier because there are usually more movies based on other things that have existing characters. For example, I was thrilled to hear Heath Ledger was selected as the Joker way back in the day because in the comic books, he was more of a demented serial killer as opposed to Jack Nicholson's campy lunatic, and I felt (based on Ledger's previous work) Heath was the right talent to pull off the "real" Joker. Television programs are usually (hopefully) original ideas that allow casting directors to hire based upon what they imagine the character looks like. So when I heard not-so-little-anymore Freddie Highmore was chosen to reprise or "preprise", if you will, the iconic role of Norman Bates from the Hitchcock classic, Psycho, I was absolutely elated.
Chelsea Vs. Juventus (UEFA C.L.)
What a rollercoaster!
I've been watching European soccer for a few years and since then have been a loyal Chelsea FC fan. For a long time I had seen them blow opportunity after opportunity. When they acquired Fernando Torres from Liverpool, I was elated. I thought "Here we go! Now no one can stop us." Obviously, I was wrong. It took a little longer for The Blues to dominate. Come the 2011-2012 season, and they are FA Cup and Champion's League champions! Finally...bragging rights!

Revolution Pilot
Well, today was the premier of the new J.J. Abrams project "Revolution." I decided to give it a watch, because I am a fan of previous Abrams work. Although I don't really like to put too much faith in a man based on his previous achievements, I've enjoyed many of his to give me some hope for Revolution.
Wait, WHO WON?
I am usually not a HUGE football fan, but this year I have become very intrigued by the Miami Dolphins. Maybe it's the complete restructuring, maybe it's the rookie quarterback with the attractive wife, I don't know, but I have found myself watching pre-season games (which I don't often do). Miami's pre-season was quite an embarrassment. Who could possibly think that they could achieve anything this year.

The Possession
Well, I just came back from watching "The Possession," starring Jeffery Dean Morgan, of Watchmen & Grey's Anatomy fame, and Kyra Sedgwick, of The Closer & Married to Kevin Bacon fame.
Before watching this movie, I had a chat with a friend who is absolutely obsessed with the horror genre to see how he felt about the movie. I myself enjoy it occasionally. So you should keep in mind that I am in no way an expert on horror. (there will be spoilers if you care)

And the winner is...
Well, it seems as though none of my previous selections for America's Got Talent won. Although, I'm definitely not disappointed because, to be honest, I've never seen anything like it in my life. The winner was...

First Post.
Go to my comic-strip!
The Protector
This, for lack of better description, comic strip, was just an idea I had from a picture I saw. It’s not the best, but it’s what I made. Enjoy it, show your kids, spread the love.
