Walking around in a costume in 90+ degree weather doesn’t sound like fun, and Cracked contributor Robert Evans found a guy who can tell you plenty of horror stories about working there, with or without a costume. However, please read through to the end. If you don’t at least tear up in the final section, you need a soul check.

Chapter By Chapter: Enterprise -The First Adventure Ch. 1

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

Last time we read the prologue, which just set up where everybody was coming from, and gave me a villain I’m hoping to like (but still want to lose). What will happen this chapter? I don’t know. I don’t usually read the book until the introduction’s done. That’s why I can’t slap a made-up chapter name on a book that doesn’t have their own chapter titles.

Morning Article Link: Video Game Exclusive TV

Captain N The Game Master #1

Having spent the night in hotels for conventions, I’ve seen that DirectTV has their own networks and programming and this may be true for other cable & satellite services beyond local access channels. Online sites like Netflix and Hulu have their exclusives. Now Sony and Microsoft are making shows exclusive to their game consoles. (Remember when video game consoles just played video games?) Forbes contributor Paul Tassi explores the console exclusives and tries to make sense of the reasoning behind limiting a program, that may have nothing to do with video games, to people who don’t have a system they won’t play games on when TV and the internet still exist.
