Saturday Six – Bald Characters
As you may have seen over on the Facebook page, this year for Halloween I went as Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Because if you’re gonna do something, you should do it all the way, this necessitated that I shave my head. Now that I myself am bald, as I look around, I see far more bald people than I ever noticed. So that’s what brings me to this list of people I immediately think of when you say “bald”.

CZW’s Dojo Wars XIV Results
I missed the last few CZW events becasue I was on the opposite coast at Comikaze. Looks like they did a good job at those shows promoting tonight’s event, as the crowd was almost entirely new faces and only about 3 regulars, coming out to witness the finale of the Tournament of Valor. This lead to a somewhat quiet crowd that didn’t really react or know when to get involved, but the show was still good. Any show that ends in a locker room clearing brawl is always good, right? So let’s hop right to it!

Saturday Six – Bigger on the Inside
There is a long history of things being bigger on the inside (or smaller on the outside, depending on your point of view) in genre media. Everyone always immediately thinks about the TARDIS, but while it’s probably the best known example, it’s not the only one.

Saturday Six – Comikaze Expo 2014
So content has been light of late, because I left the frosty confines of the east coast to venture west, to the land of shitty hotel wifi and sun, California, to stop at Disneyland and take in Stan Lee’s Comikaze last weekend. This is the first con in probably 5 or more years I was not there as a vendor, and was just there to have fun. I highly recommend going if you have a chance. I only went Friday and about half of Saturday (my feet could only handle so much of wearing wooden sandals), so I missed some of the marquee events (like the Power Rangers Megaforce panel, will they just get to the epic battle already!), but it was still a great time.

Tony Hawk’s Skateboarding Games Returning In 2015
It looks like Activision and Tony Hawk are reuniting, because both have confirmed yesterday that new games on console and mobile platforms are on their way at some point in the next year. Is the skating game genre coming back from the dead?
