Bonus if this is how it ends.
If “Spider-Universe” completes without the Spiders freaking out Jameson then I question every attempt to convince me that the comics are better now post-One More Day.
- The Clutter Reports: After seeing a video reviewing a rather lame Pac-Man joke book I decided to do a review of one I have. Which isn’t a laugh riot but I linked to the video in my article and you’ll see it’s definitely better.
- Reviewers Unknown: If you missed it here yesterday I posted the Press Junket with author Brandon Sanderson, who finished the Wheel Of Time series when the original author died before completing it.

Darrien: Ladies man.
It’s time to start prepping for ConnectiCon and I can’t afford a hotel room so I’m trying to decide on my options. Do I put more on the card, hope I can get a share and reduce that, or do a lot of driving. I kind of want to push the Patreon at this point and wonder if anyone would donate if I put a PayPal button up next to the Patreon link in the sidebar (top of page), but one way or another something will be coming from this year’s convention. They just announced even more Channel Awesome people besides Doug Walker coming this year. This is why any reviewers out there need to consider making ConnectiCon your summer destination. It’s even during Riverfest, so we’re awesome, folks!

Cover of The Wheel of Time (Boxed Set #1)
Author Robert Jordan (born James Oliver Rigney, Jr.) passed away before finishing his famous The Wheel Of Time novel series. Not wanting to leave the epic incomplete since Jordan had a lot of notes on how it was going to end, writer and series fan Brandon Sanderson was brought in to complete the series. At the 2013 ConnectiCon press junket, Sanderson discussed how he got into writing, some of the books he had out, and how it felt to complete his favorite series.

So we’re back to tournaments named for real boxers instead of fictional ones. Bobby “Boogaloo” Watts once beet Marvin Haggler, and even I’ve heard of that guy. But new tournament, new fight!
I like the different fights, the ones where brains beat brawn, but this time the brains ARE the brawn. If you’ve followed my retro reviews this week you already know what this will be.

Ever wonder why old game sprites look so bad on modern televisions? Why they’re so fuzzy? The website/forum NFG Games says they actually always were that fuzzy and you never noticed. It comes down to the differences between the classic CRT televisions and the modern LCD and plasma televisions. Even if you’re not usually interested in the technospeak (which is different from technobabble in that it’s actually something that exists) it’s still an interesting read.
