Fear The Con 2

I will be attending Fear the Boot’s Fear The Con 2 in beautiful, scenic St. Charles, Missouri later this week.  The first FtC was an epic amount of fun.  I’ve been looking forward to FtC2 since the con wrapped up last year. Fear the Con was the best gaming con I have ever been to.  […]

Battle for the Cowl: Batman and the Outsiders!

Dollhouse: Episode 3 "Stage Fright"

SPOILERS AHEAD… It’s been a bit rough watching Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.  The first episode was painful setting up a series that seemed all about the exploitation of young women unawere they were even being abused.  Our nausea was transformed to an ick-factor in the second episode, but since we got to see Dushku hand a […]
