Most of the reviews I’ve seen of the new Godzilla movie have been positive…which makes my current financial status even more frustrating! *ahem* Anyway, it almost wasn’t our second attempt at a US Godzilla movie. The translators of the English dub of Godzilla 2000 had wanted to make a sequel produced in the US but using the Toho team to create the effects. And the reason it wasn’t is really quite stupid. Steve Ryfle of Sci-Fi Japan has the exclusive interview! (hat tip to Matt Burkett) I want IDW to adapt this script like they’re doing for that Star Trek story Harlan Ellison wrote but was changed to fit continuity.

Chapter By Chapter: Enterprise – The First Adventures ch. 5

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Chapter by Chapter Enterprise

It was nice to see people at least attempting to get along, McCoy finally showing up, and the Enterprise under way. However, this is only chapter 5 of 13. We still have time for things to go horribly wrong.

Going through the old e-mails I have I came across this article by freelance writer Brittany Vincent for Kotaku. Her dad uses to play video games with her all the time when she was a kid but by 2012 he wasn’t so willing, so she brainstormed as to way. It shows how video games are leaving some people behind.
