Sequel Hell

By Matt • Jun 29th, 2010 • Category: The Inquisition

It has become a ridiculous cliche in our society.  A politician or celebrity gets caught doing something they should not have been doing in the first place, this sets in motion a public relations machine.  Eventually the confessor makes a forced apology on Oprah and we as a nation say they learned their lesson.
There are [...]



Four Incredible Zombie Games

By Slunecka • Jun 24th, 2010 • Category: Friends of the Sprocket, Reviews

I love me some zombie games.  Ironically I’m not actually that huge into zombie-based horror movies, though.  It’s not like I don’t like them, I just don’t actively seek them out.  I like the same zombie movies that everyone likes:  Army of Darkness, 28 Days Later, Dead Alive, etc…  But in a video game, a [...]



The Nerdcore Rising

By Derek • Jun 21st, 2010 • Category: The Literary Thunderdome

Nerd.
A word I used to dread hearing.  It meant you were a loser, that you didn’t fit in.  You didn’t belong.
Nerd.
A word you can now wear with pride.  Why?  Because a lot of very cool people showed the rest of us we didn’t have to be embarrassed about the things we love.
I was a nerd [...]



Hire this guy, Warner Brothers

By Slunecka • Jun 16th, 2010 • Category: Friends of the Sprocket

Hi, I’m Matt.  Yeah, another Matt.  I’m not sure who keeps hiring all these guys named Matt, but I promise I’ll have a chat with Management about that.  In the meantime let me distract you from awkward introductions with this:

Wasn’t that awesome?  It’s been burning its way across the internet for a few days now.  [...]



Look to the Source – Part II

By Monte • Jun 13th, 2010 • Category: Mont-agon, Random Cinema

In my last post I ranted long about the overuse of the term fanboy, how its misuse resulted in trivializing their psychosis while elevating their status as barometers of pop culture. My claim was that Hollywood has made true fanboys far more influential than what they are due. And I stated that I have proof.
That [...]



There is no Review B

By Derek • Jun 13th, 2010 • Category: Reviews, The Literary Thunderdome

I am a quasi child of the 80’s, I was only 7 when we were out of the ‘me’ decade.  I do have fond memories of things from the 80’s, a lot of it were things I saw later in the 90’s.  This weekend seems like it should have a been a great weekend for [...]



Beating a dead horse, but I LOVE ZOMBIES…

By MattS • Jun 9th, 2010 • Category: Friends of the Sprocket

To begin, I would like to thank the guys and lady at the Dirty Sprocket for letting me take part in this. I have enjoyed the work that they produce and envy them the time they spend doing it. I would also like to apologize to Mr. Olson for being, probably, the most annoying FAN-BOY out there. [...]



Chew on This

By Matt • Jun 8th, 2010 • Category: Reviews, The Inquisition

When it comes to comics I prefer limited series or those that are not part of the major DC or Marvel universes.  Those get a little out of control and I don’t feel like having Wikipedia open so I can look something up every five seconds.  The comics I really enjoy are those such as [...]



Getting Justified!

By Derek • Jun 1st, 2010 • Category: Reviews

I meant to get this up a long time ago, but with the play, posting really took a backseat.  Sorry.  But I’m back fully now and I want to tell you how freaking bad-ass ‘Justified’ is.  And before anyone says anything, the TV show not the shitty Justin Timberlake album.
The season of the show is [...]
