Kadrey is a wonderful writer, and the Sandman Slim books are a great series. So far they haven’t declined in quality, something that happens all too often as these franchises age. I buy everything he writes; in fact I thought the non-SS book The Everything Box was a hoot.

Manticore is very cool if you’re playing with an alchemy emphasis. Don’t overlook the Tesham Mutna armor/steel sword either; it looks great and you absorb life energy from your kills if you use it. There are better armors and swords at my level but I’m having so much damn fun I won’t change.

Thank you for making the pictures large size. It’s so nice to be able to really see the details.

fortunately my short term memory is shit

I cannot for the life of me figure out why I am so drawn to this movie. Yes, the sets and costumes are fantastic, but it’s so uneven and weird. If it’s on cable I stop surfing and watch, and it’s on Netflix and I keep hovering over it. “I am the Shadout Mapes, your housse keeper...” Argh!

Welcome! Of course you realize, you have til now violated the Internet law that requires you to post a picture of your cat if you mention your cat. Please take cute picture of cat in desk cubby to comply.

Th eonly Trek novels I read now (re-read, actually) are the ones by John M. Ford, Diane Duane and Peter David. Duane’s Romulans FTW!

Steve Rude art! Love seeing him on the racks and getting paid; I have the complete run of Nexus and his art style just does it for me.

As Steve Irwin might have said, “What beauties!”

Huzzah! It’s back! I love viewing these after a difficult late shift at work!

Alchemy; once you get some basic magic and combat boosts put the points into Alchemy. The blade oil protective and combat boosts are great, but the best is Synergy. Synergy got me past that effing Caretaker. It boosts all your active abilities up to 50% at the max level.

What? I started a new game on Death March after Blood and Roses came out; I just started B&R; am I gonna have to start again??? And after I finally beat that effin Caretaker.

Gaunter O’Dimm and those flippin’ Crones - some of the best villains anywhere. And Trolls for best comic relief.

I read and enjoyed all the Milestone comics back in the day; I keep meaning to find them in one of my many long boxes of comics. There was so much in there that went right over my head at the time. They were very well done; when I read Dwayne McDuffie had passed away - gods, over 5 years ago - it was so sad to realize…

I love these columns. I’ve picked up a few new-to-me authors and surprise books from my faves out of these lists. Another feature I hope continues under your new owners.

Hope they can keep most of them.

Please keep these coming, Katharine!

I’m still waiting for a Godzilla appearance timer on the new film. Gods know there were enough purists who counted the seconds it was on screen in the 2014 movie, compared to the other films. I’ve done several searches but can’t find an update yet; guess they only do that for the American versions.

The Gif Party has been one of my favorite Gawker weirdnesses. Long may it wave.

I find it very telling that when I try searching “Godzilla screen time” there is nothing easy to find about Shin Godzilla. The G Truthers were all over the 2014 film (which wasn’t all that short of appearance time) but I did read a couple of complaints about all the talking going on in the new movie.
