    Aftermath

    I'm really struggling to get into this book, which is disappointing me greatly. I've been looking forward to it for ages and the writing style is just annoying the hell out of me. I just finished Dark Disciple and had the opposite occur- I didn't have any expectations (or at least good...

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (spoilers)

    I haven't played it and I'm not really sure about giving it a go (limited budget). A reviewer who's pretty good value (similar opinions to mine game-wise) played the start and it looks really boring. Admittedly the same guy said that when it picks up its got some of the best gameplay he's ever...

    SWRP SW Toy Collectors

    Cool stuff Phil! Random question- does anyone have any tips for getting regular sized action figures to stand up on their own? I know some of them came with tiny bases with pegs in for the feet, but I don't have any of those and using blue-tac on them bothers me...

    Darth Vader

    He is a clever little fellow that tracker guy isn't he? Hopefully he'll stay away from Aphra and her excellent droids!

    Princess Leia

    What did you think of the art of the last issue? I thought it was total rubbish in places, especially compared to the rest of the series. It seemed like they just phoned the last issue in so they could work on something else...

    New Halo 5 Trailer

    True, but at least it's more Nathan Fillion!

    New Halo 5 Trailer

    I thought it was pretty good. Its a pet peeve, but I didn't like when Locke was about to be told what to do with Jul M'dama (?) he talked over the order and assumed. Maybe she was going to say "If you see him... buy him a cup of coffee and dance for him" and now we'll never get to see that!

    Deadpool (Movie)

    I don't know, maybe I'm just trying to see the glass as half full. But I remember when the first Superman movie was held up as the be all & end all of comic movies. Sure it was awesome for its time, but if you go back and watch it today it has bits that haven't aged well at all. That doesn't...

    Deadpool (Movie)

    But if you move the movies away from the plots that define the character, then whats the point in having a comic movie? They just change the names and it becomes "action/ sci-fi movie #315". A lot of the appeal of comic movies is seeing your favourite storylines brought to life on the big...

    Humble Bundle Star Wars Audiobooks Bundle

    Just to let everyone know the Humble Store is having a special on Star Wars audiobooks for the next 10 days or so. For those of you unfamiliar with them, they basically sell bundles of books, and games (PC and Android) in exchange for donations to charity. There's no minimum (or maybe it's $1)...

    Deadpool (Movie)

    I think too many people are trying to read too much into movies nowdays. I may be showing my simplistic side, but I enjoy going to the movies just for some popcorn fun. Unless it causes me a headache (eg. 3D and overuse of shaky-cam) then I couldn't really care less how "well-made" it is. If we...

    Captain America: Civil War

    Looks promising!

    Princess Leia

    It was nowhere near as good as Darth Vader or the main Star Wars series for sure. I just liked how it approached the subject of the loss of Alderaan which was something the movies skipped entirely.

    Princess Leia

    I know this is a bit late, but what did everyone think of the last issue of the series? I liked the story but thought the art was terrible especially compared to the rest of the series. It was a bit of a disappointing way to finish a great tale.
