    Playing Conan on the 360. Really disappointing game that really wants to be God of War.

    Manga fans

    my personal favorite is actually a manwha called Priest. Has an amazing, hard edged style and a cool, pulpy story to go with it.

    New or Used?

    Mostly new since I can get impatient when I find a book that a want is coming out soon. If, however, the book has been out and I find it at a used book store and it doesn't stink of bad cheese...I will gladly buy it. Though this is due to my own personal greed rather than helping the poor book...

    Film Review: Shoot Em Up by Michael Davis

    Finishing Games

    I almost always finish a game at least once, sometimes mutliple times (I've beaten Gears of War 11 times). Action games are my favorite (Devil May Cry 3 forever!) and so they're the ones that get beaten more than once usually. But turn based role-playing games are my bane. Even if I LOVE the...

    Tense

    Do you mean is writing in present tense considered bad writing? If so then I would say no it is not. I know people who actually prefer it. Helps them feel in the moment and all that as opposed to being in the past.
