Oracle/Batgirl/Barbara Gordon isn’t someone you f*ck with. She’s been a representation of feminism and a wonderful role model for the disabled–especially those wheelchair bound due to spinal cord injuries. I could spend hours talking about how awesome she is and how nuanced a character she is. And if you’ve caught me drunk and happy after [...]

Wonder Woman debuted in All-Star Comics in 1941. Creator William Moulton Marston designed her to be a new breed of superhero. One who won battles with love rather than her fists, and he modeled her after his wife, Elizabeth Marston, and their live in lover, Olive Byrne (he was doing the whole polyamoric lifestyle sixty some [...]

Earlier this week Cody was playing some Modern Warfare 2 when he came up against this irritating pre-teen. He got mad. Then the pre-teen’s mom got on and got mad right back. And he recorded the whole thing. And then he put it up on Youtube. And then he felt the wrath of the internet [...]

From the mid to late 90s, as a woman with mousey hair, glasses, and a tendency towards both sarcasm and short-sightedness, it was only natural that I was refered to as Daria, and on occasion, ”that chick from that Cats and Dog movie - clearly, Uma Thurman –  always a welcome respite. But things changed! I grew up! [...]

Oh England. How I love thee. First you give me the Tudors, then you give me My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, then you give me meme-worthy hats, and just when I think my heart can’t handle anymore, you give me a great-grandfather who turned his old-person scooter in a batmobile. What’s hilarious about this article is [...]

So this new game Unearthed from Saudi Arabian developer Semaphore is clearly a bit of a riff on the mega-popular Uncharted franchise. You’ve got your sarcastic and borderline assholish hero with bland good looks, you’ve got a crusty old advisor, and you have a lady to round out the cast and bring in a little [...]

A while back DC Comics started selling their wares digitally. However it was pretty terrible because the comics available were all at least five years old and cost the same as in the store. As one of the points of digital distribution is lower costs, and one of the points of comics is to collect [...]

Two episodes of Futurama’s 6th Season (1st on Comedy Central) aired last night and I’m just now getting to watching them because I am important and there are cheeses that must be eaten at the appointed hour. I just watched the first episode and to be honest…I’m having some feelings. Let the record show Futurama [...]

This guy, Wang Kang (note to self: change name to Wang Kang) decided to dedicate several months building a replica of the MK1 Iron Man costume in his basement and not tell anyone about it. Like you do, I guess? And how did he choose to finally reveal his top secret project to the world? [...]

I’ve played a fair amount of games this year but none have sucked me in quite like Trenched. This third person shooter/tower game mash-up has drilled itself directly into my pleasure center and gone around with feathers tickling up the joint and making me squee with joy. I could go into the fun art design [...]
