Book Discussion: Destroyer of Worlds

The next book in this series is going to press soon so I dug this old review up.It's hard not to envy Larry Correia's career. He was one of the last self-published authors that were able to go mainstream. Monster Hunter International was rejected by everyone in the business to include Baen books. Correia, being an accountant, crunched the numbers and worked out that if he self-published MHI he would make about five to maybe ten thousand dollars, (which is...

Harddrive-by: Hogwarts Legacy

In fairness I need to start with this statement: I am not the target customer for this game.I never got into Harry Potter. My interest level was at best Culturalist and that was when the first Harry Potter wave was at its height back when the last of the movies were coming out. I wouldn’t even be a Flirt except I have children that are at Intentionalists level of interest. I know the major characters, the setting, and the houses,...

Yeah It’s Gonna Suck: The Mandalorian Season 3

The start of the new season is no better than lackluster. This isn’t a surprise given the state of the trainwreck that is LucasFilm. The second season ended with a huge bang. Luke Skywalker, the real Luke Skywalker, not the broken-down hobo from Third Trilogy, made a cameo that blew the doors off. People were actually signing up for Disney Plus on the basis of it. It looked like Star Wars was starting to turn itself around.Which ended the second Gina Carano was fired...

Disney World’s Self Rule Has Ended

I'd seen it repeatedly but never had a clue what RC stood forThe Reedy Creek Improvement District has now been formally dissolved and with it the Walt Disney company’s insane self-rule privileges. Given that WDW covers two counties and various precedents of settled Florida law, the creation of a new one was unavoidable. You will note that at no time did I ever say there wouldn’t be a Special Taxation District covering Walt Disney World’s property.The press is desperately trying to spin...

Appendix N Heroes: Holger Carlson

Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson is the most influential book you’ve never heard of.Okay, given my readership that’s probably not true but for the gen-pop audience it certainly is. This book is vitally integral to the Dungeons and Dragons canon.* It’s not the backbone of it, that is still The Lord of the Rings. But it is, however, the very heart Appendix N. I’m quite serious about that. The spirit of this book is present in every player who has...

I Don’t Owe Them a Chance

What little patience I ever had with Ya Boi Zack is exhausted. He used to be a reasonably good source for keeping up with everything wrong with the comic book world. He was always a Gamma but lately, he’s been cucking out completely. He only attacks people on the Right for pursuing the culture war. Never the Left. He’s pretending that executives at Woke corporations like Disney, don’t care about fans criticizing their propagantastic entertainment products. That it is the Right that is just too political.Uh-huh,...

Antman 3 or Cocaine Bear, Which Blows More?*

I originated the role! How was I not cast?!While Cocaine Bear did just barely beat out Antman 3 in the domestic box office take on Friday, Antman 3 pulled ahead on Saturday and Sunday but Cocaine Bear was nipping at his heels the whole way. Weekend take for the third and now final Antman movie was a cadaverous $32.4 million on its second freaking weekend! The first movie in Marvel’s Phase V was down 70% from last weekend. That is not...

Warner Brothers Discovery Earnings Call

CEO David Zaslav just held Warner Brothers Discovery’s first quarter earnings call for 2023. This was the first earnings call that was mostly the fruits of his labors. There is still about a year’s worth of inertia from the pipeline setup by the previous regime. However, this is the first time that Zaslav was expected to show positive results of his regime.Keep in mind this is an investor call, not a media event. There are some facts that it is illegal for Zaslav to misrepresent. There...

Is There a Spiderman Deal?

This week there was a flurry of reports about a new Sony/Marvel Spiderman something starring Tom Holland being in the works. It’s been all over the fan sites and Polygon (which is more of an anti-fan site).Except there hasn’t been an announcement.It has been better than a year since Spiderman: No Way Home was released. The third of Holland’s Spiderman outings raked in nearly two billion in box office receipts worldwide, and easily shot past that line when you factor in the...
