Holy crap! All this time, I’ve been making fun of how disgustingly stupid Jaws: The Revenge was when, in reality, it was all true! Released back in 1987, the titular shark stalks Ellen Brody and her family to the Bahamas, Cape Fear-style. Well, apparently, shark researchers have determined that great white sharks stalk their victims, […]
In this week’s episode of Kicked in the Dice Bags, show host Jonathan Landreth and guest A. David Pinilla (Podge Cast, Back Seat Producers) ask the question: Is Luke Meyer still relevant in this industry? “If it’s up to me,” Landreth said, “Luke will be the last person from the Podge Cast that we have […]
How do you feel about Johnny Cash? What about The Misfits? What about spaghetti westerns and horror movies? Somewhere between country western and punk rock at the point where ballads meet metal sits Ghoultown. Forming in 1999 they have left their mark on six CD’s, numerous compilations, movies, short films, a comic book and even […]
A friend of mine and I were chatting today when he remarked that he had just picked up a set of World of Warcraft figures as a gift for his dad… “Wow!” I said, “That is so cool that you’re dad’s a gamer!” “Naw, he just likes the action figures.” Still cool. One of those […]

I’m going to do my best not to hash out all the old arguments of why we shouldn’t make them anymore. The fact that WWII game series have lasted longer than the […]
I get asked about the music we use for The Bear Swarm! Podcast from time to time. Why I picked what it or where I found it in the first place. I figured now that I have this fancy music column, I could write an article about it. Now I can just direct all further […]
About ten years ago, there was a phenomon known as the adventure game. Lucas Atrs popped most of the better ones out with the Mokey Island franchise, Grim Fandango and Full Throttle, but ever since George Lucas’ spiral into insanity, nothing more than Star Wars games have been coming out. Dead money horses are easy […]
Every Wednesday (or Thursday ) from here until July 15th, the release date of DC Comics’ Blackest Night #1, we here at IoM will be presenting a history of each of the corps involved in the upcoming battle, as well as some background on the major players and the storylines leading up to the big […]
Special thanks goes out to Ideology of Madness for giving me a soapbox here. Most of my mental diarrhea gets spewed out over on The Bear Swarm! Podcast but there are a few topics that I just don’t bring up over there. Not because I’m embarrassed by them, but its just not the right place. […]
