I have no problem with Hollywood making things look a bit more dramatic. What gets me is when people start to believe that’s how it is. For example, we all know the routine about defusing bombs, right? Red wire. Blue wire? How about shotgun? Cracked contributor Robert Evans found someone who has defused bombs in the Middle East and in the states. He found the most explosive thing about his job may be the civilians and press. The best part? The wardrobe.

Jake & Leon #207: CSI: Twitchy

Hey, I finally got to use the newsdesk!

Hey, I finally got to use the newsdesk!

I just saw the typo in panel #2. Geez. At least I finally got to use the newsdesk.

Anyway, have you heard of this story? A woman in Arizona was streaming a game while on camera and some guys broke into her home, threatening her and her roommate. A number of the viewers watching didn’t write it off as a hoax and called police. One person in another country called a friend in the States and had him or her call, too. The ladies are safe and in the article posted one guy got away and I don’t know if they’ve caught him since then. For once sharing aspects of your lives actually saved them.

  • The Clutter Reports: A new toy review article as I take a look at the “Leaping Hulk” figure based on the Ang Lee Hulk movie.
  • Reviewers Unknown: If you missed it yesterday and have some moral code against archives the latest Press Junket video features voice actor Jon St. John.

Godzilla: Rulers Of Earth #12

Yes, that's Jet Jaguar using MechaGodzilla against Destroyah. I LOVE this comic!

I can’t follow that up.

BW At The Press Junket: Jon St. John

I’m the wrong audience for the Duke Nukem franchise (except maybe the early 2-D platformer…maybe) but I can’t be any kind of gamer without having heard of it. It’s one of the most popular “oldschool” franchises in gaming and made, in gaming circles anyway, his voice actor, Jon St. John, a household name. He’s made numerous appearances at ConnectiCon and 2013 was no except, when he joined us at the press junket.

Friday Night PRIZE Fight: Hotter Than Hell

The Prize Fight for “Battling Murdock/Battling Jack” (I got the name wrong in some of the early entries) is “Red Devil”, which each fight should have. I don’t know my collection as well as I want to so I don’t know how many devils I have. I own maybe one or two Daredevil comic (which is where “Battling Jack Murdock” is from) so I’m kind of limited. I also didn’t win any of the regular rounds so I’m not prize compliant anyway. Still, I want to help promote the event and in the mood Firestorm is in for tonight’s entry he’s about to put the fear of God into a couple of muggers. Also, his hair is on fire and stuff so I’m totally counting it.
