EA had a trio of massive titles to unleash on gamers this year, but unfortunately, their delivery wasn’t all that entertaining to watch. . .

Death is unavoidable. But this past week a totally unexpected tragedy occurred with the untimely passing of Robin Williams. I don’t think there was a person alive who had anything but good things to say about him. Robin Williams was just the latest, but will not be the last. This last year also saw the departure of some other heavy hitters. Jim “Ultimate Warrior” Helwig giving what was ultimately his own eulogy on Monday Night Raw was extremely emotional. We will never get an true Ghostbusters 3 without Harold Ramis.

Being 33, I’m of the age that many of the people I looked up to as a child will soon be shuffling off the mortal coil. It’s inevitable. While, as Dr. McCoy says we all have to “turn death into a fighting chance for life”, that still won’t stop me from being devastated when we finally lose those celebrities below.

Saturday Six – Random Magazines I Bought For a Quarter

If you follow me on Facebook, you’ll know the reason content has been lite of late is because over the Fourth of July holiday, I hit up massive sales at Frankenstein Comics and Fat Jack’s. I bought so many comics, I had to build new underbed storage for them, and I’m still busy bagging and boarding them, only up through the E’s. But while I was at Frankensteins, they had a box of crazy old magazines, all marked down to a quarter. These are the magazines I saw in that box of old garbage that I just had to own.

As a nerd, we’re pretty much hard wired to love green skinned women. Be they alien, reptilian, cyborg, robot, amphibian, gaseous, energy, or some form of “other”, green skinned girls abound in the worlds of science fiction.

Who hasn’t dreamed of flying through the stars? If you’re here reading this, probably you! Space is too majestic to not want to explore. It is the final frontier after all! There are plenty of games, movies, shows, and books that help us feel like we’re there. While they may not always be accurate, space exploration is the dream! This is my tribute to my favorite space fairing ships.
