Review: Doctor Who – The Impossible Astronaut
Welcome to the first of DOOM’s Doctor Who series 6 reviews. I’ll be taking a look at the episodes each week and giving you my thoughts and musings about what’s going on. I started watching Doctor Who with Matt Smith’s first series and it definitely hooked me. Between that series and now, I went back and watched all of the Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant episodes. They were great but the eleventh Doctor remains my … Read entire article »

Mars Needs Podcasts 105- Super Justice Sabertooth Vampire

The duo then get to business and talk about last week’s trip to Stumptown Comics Fest. While JJ was there he picked up a book you need to … Read entire article »

Leave Luck to Heaven #14: Bomberman, Simple and Fun
The last time I played a Bomberman game it was on the original Nintendo. Even though the games have been on every system, to my knowledge, never really played any of the newer ones. I remember the games being the simple idea of blowing up obstructions and enemies, while avoiding the explosions and enemies. The idea of 3D versions never really appealed much as it was a game that seemed perfect for the isometric view … Read entire article »

Superman Toys: Photography at play
As I’ve stated before, Flickr can be a fantastic place to waste some time. I often go searching for weird and wonderful images there to be both entertained and inspired for my own photography ideas. Today I decided to try and find some Superman imagery and stumbled across a group called Superman Toys. I thought it… unusual to see a group dedicated to taking pictures of one superhero’s toys so I had a look around, although as … Read entire article »

X-Men: First Class poster. A lesson in lame.
An official poster for Fox’s new X-Men film was released to an unmistakable “aw jeez” from the internet community. Bad photoshopping effects and a general lack of anything interesting meant that the geek eyes of the world got a good work out from all the rolling done as a result. Here it is in all it’s plain glory. Now it has been pointed out elsewhere that this scene is trying to channel a moment from Joss Whedon’s … Read entire article »

Leave Luck to Heaven #13: Viewtiful Joe, I Miss You
For the uninitiated, Viewtiful Joe was set to be a trilogy on the Gamecube and later on the PS2. Now in reality there were three games on the Gamecube, but the final one, Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble was a spinoff based on the show that was also a spinoff. Instead the series never had a formal ending, due mostly to Capcom dissolving the subsidiary, Clover Studio, before it could happen. This was due to … Read entire article »

Tease Me, Baby! – Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
I was a big fan of the original Planet Of The Apes films. They’re weren’t all gold but they excelled in the type intelligent science fiction films that we don’t see much of anymore. They made a statement about a myriad of social issues at the time but also were damn good entertainment at the same time. My favourite in the series of films is Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes. Yes, the titles in … Read entire article »
