This should probably be listed as a LinkWorlds game update, but it doesn’t feel like one, so I won’t.

The problem is, I’m feeling a little overwhelmed and uninspired. The workload is finally getting me down. I was hoping to have a few people come in and get involved, if for no other reason than to provide ( Read more... )

What do you suppose the gestalt narrative of modern television is? I’ve been thinking about this for a bit. What I’m talking about is the general narrative that underlies most television in a given period, often denoting a subconscious or perhaps even overt slant to the kind of message the programs are ( Read more... )

…that the ‘classic’ films, some of which are forty or fifty years old now, are from and about a bygone era when the so-called Cold War Heroes were deeply flawed, sexually ambivalent and largely indelicate and insensitive people. Men were taught to take charge, and women were taught to disapprove, no ( Read more... )

Sorry for the no posty thing. I’m still sick as a dog, and posting requires that I actually be coherent. This next post may fail completely on that score.

So my wife and I were watching the three part mini-rant by Robert J. Sawyer about Star Wars [1][2][3]and its failure to address the issues of the day ( Read more... )

One (1): Sorry punk. Not taking the bait. (If you don’t know, don’t ask.)

Okay, I’m not sure what I’m going to post here, but I’ve been occasionally, foolishly reading certain reviews and comments about the 50th Anniversary Special, and of course, predictably, there are detractors.

Okay, so, I’ve been watching some of the Doctor Who specials leading up to the big episode, ‘Day of the Doctor’. Yes, I’m a fan. Yes, I’m stoked.
