The Star Wars Debacle

     As of today, Lucasfilm is owned by Disney. I truly don't know what to make of that. On the one hand, Star Wars is out of George's hands, which means we may get a break from all the terrible things he has continued to do to the original trilogy. On the other hand, what's to stop Disney from making those same mistakes? And they're planning to make 7, 8, and 9? With who? Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford are ancient! Are they planning to re-cast their characters with younger actors?

Logic can't repel fanboyism of that magnitude!

     I don't know what to make of this. Disneyworld may very well be burned down by hordes of angry fans if things go bad... and I would probably be one of them. Just look at what you've done, George. I hope you're ashamed of yourself...

A Goon's Day at the Fair...

     Forgive me, blog, for I have neglected you for far too long. I have not been idle, however. These past few weeks have been wonderful and full of many great things. For one, I've been... sewing. Ugh, that sounds so... unmanly. How about, clothsmithing? Yeah, that's good. Why have I been clothsmithing? For the Renaissance Fair of course!

Yep, that's me. Not what you expected? Yeah, me neither...

     Several friends and I decided to make a day trip to the North Carolina Renaissance Fair this past weekend, and what a trip it was. "Show us the highlight reel!" Oh, okay... but you know there are good and bad highlights, right? (This is a "Life" post, and, while I'll try to make it as funny as possible, it may not happen.)

"Ano Hana" Review

     To be honest, this will probably be pretty short. I've been caught up in other things, and I'm starting to forget the show's finer points. But don't let that sway your opinion: Ano Hana (also known as Ano Hi Mita no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai whew-what-a-mouth-full) is quite possibly one of the best shows I've seen in a long while.

"Guild Wars 2" Review: Noobling Musings of an MMO...

     So, I caved and bought Guild Wars 2. A bunch of my friends had recommended it, and I had read a bit about it before. Now that I've played it... sweet cuppin' cakes...

YES TO ALL THE THINGS!

Sweet Cuppin' Cakes! An Award!

     I don't often get comments on my blog, so when I do I sort of flip out. "What!? Someone reads this stuff?!? Who are they and who do they work for? IS IT THE FEDS?" Paranoia sets in and I try to figure out who they are. Most of the time, it's someone I know personally. Sometimes though... it's someone I've never heard of before...

A giant award! Maybe it's friendly!

The Impossible Science of Doctor Who...

     Let me set a few things straight before I begin. One, I am thoroughly enjoying Doctor Who. No matter what I say afterwards, know that I do like the show and quite enjoy the Doctor and the hilarious predicaments he gets himself into. Comedy is a big part of the show, and they almost always execute it flawlessly, whether it be jokes or just personality quirks. Two, this here post will most likely have oodles of spoilers all the way up to, and including, the finale of Season 5. Right... onto the science... or lack thereof...

It's timey-whimy... space stuff...

"The Legend of Korra" Review

     One of the main reasons I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender was so that I could get to the new series, The Legend of Korra. From what I had seen on Youtube and other websites, I had a good feeling that I would enjoy it. Now that I've watched it, I can say that I not only enjoyed it... I loved it. Warning: spoilers throughout.

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" Review

      This has been on my to do list for a lot longer than I'd care to admit. I've said already that I've been writing a book, but I've also been editing a book for a friend and I've gotten back into playing some Minecraft with a couple of friends. Plus, I have a full time job. All this means I have little time to do much writing. It makes me sad... BUT NO MORE! It's time to do a review. Without further ado, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Warning: spoilers will probably follow...

Toph looks a little derpy...

Sword Art Online: First Look

     No, this is not a game. While perusing this anime season's line-up, I found that I really didn't want to watch any of them. This is not necessarily a bad thing: I have a backlog of anime a mile long that I still have yet to get to. But one show did stick out. Sword Art Online is a new anime that recently premiered in Japan, in which thousands of people play an advanced online game. Because I am a gamer, I decided to check it out.

That sword on the left looks pretty awesome... DO WANT.

The Garden of Your Mind...

     Time for something a little bit different, something serious. E3 took up a lot of time and was back to back for several days straight, so it kind of burnt me out. I figured I'd take a break for a few days... then I found this. As weird as this sounds, it's been on my mind a lot lately (and not just because I've been listening to it on repeat, non-stop). I would hope that everyone seen this already, but if you haven't take a look:

     First off, on a less serious note, I would hope that this video will educate the younger masses as to what a cassette player is. I feel so old when people tell me stories of handing kids a VHS tape or a floppy disk and they say, "What's this?" Ah, those were much simpler times...
     Now for the serious. I will warn you that this is probably going to be boring ruminations, but I felt the need to write this out and I wanted to post something to the blog. So, without further ado...
