... the show really seems to want to be really noir, but can't be noir since it's also for kids. Yeah, good point. It the noir style and the target audience don't really go well together. I think you can do comedy noir and obviously straight up noir, but not straight up noir with the caveat that it...

I quite like Citadels too, but I feel it can drag on and there's a lot of time between plays. Funnily enough though, Citadels is the first of these 'niche' board and card games that I ever played. A very recent one I'm into is Dragon's Hoard. Treasure card collecting game where you trade in differen...

I haven't been bothered to go to MCM London Expo, in a while. It happens twice a year and I think I've missed the last three.

Board Games

So, I've been getting heavily into board games. Monopoly, Risk, Cluedo you say? No bitches. No. Whilst those are fun, I mean games that get given the following terms: Eurogame, Ameritrash, Deck building, Set collecting, Area control, Worker placement, Cooperative and Semi cooperative. Games like... ...

I think I'll watch the next two episodes. Give the show a three episode try out. But, I think the only thing I like about the show is seeing how they rig DC history into this show's universe. But, when I sometimes see the result, I'm less than impressed e.g. Jim 'there will be light' Gordon's acting...

Yeah, the show was pretty interesting. It's very done by the numbers, but it is done well, so I'm not complaining on that front. First episode has ended by setting up: - Love interest for the lead, which he can't get (Iris) - Point of comparison character who lead is jealous of (Iris's bf) - Potenti...

"There will be light Bruce. There - will - be - light". Do people actually talk like that? Just started watching it. Not sure I'm going to like Pennyworth's new cockey geezer persona brought to us by Sean Pertwee. Can't help but feel they'll have him saying, mate, blimey, crickey and son every sente...

As annoying as getting things signed sounds now, I suppose, to be fair to the organisers, it's better organized for the sheer number of people that go to this event now. Sig hunting seems like it would be better done at a mid-sized con, but eventually, all the popular ones will be large or mega size...

The first Constantine episode is actually not bad. Just see it as a version of John Constatine, but not as Hellblazer. Yeah I think that's the right way to look at it. It's the made for TV, age range 15+ version of Constantine. What do you think about the accent? I wonder if it's something that wil...

Sheesh, that Constantine pilot looks like something terrible. Yeah and now I've seen the trailer, I reckon it will be an alright show at best. The guy may look Constantine-ish, but his accent is not Liverpudlian and worryingly I think he actually aimed for it. Haven't seen Gotham yet. I've got the ...

Well done on the run dude! Hope it didn't kill the phone though. Never heard of the Samsung pink screen of death before.

They all seem to be growing, which is great, but at the same time I'm experience that feeling of, "I used to enjoy the band when they were underground and less popular".

What's eating like at the moment?

When I had my wisdom teeth out I had all four out at once under general anesthetic. My jaw swelled up like a hamster.

Congrats dude.

What a typical man though, leaving his wife to tend to the kids while he fucks off to another county for a week long jollie. :)

It's quite enjoyable. Soule seems to be a very reliably good writer and it's McNiven art.
