Welcome To The Candy Store

Today has been a good day for freebies…

Unfortunately I can’t keep all of them (Well, not the comics anyway…) but to have this much in the way of geeky goodness dropped in my lap in one day is kind of mindblowing.

I got that Xenosaga game and now, at long last, the geekdom truly ignites. As far as the comic books go, a lotta’ classics, which I’m extremely happy about, since most of them I can review favorably. A reprint of G.I. Joe… the nostalgia factor alone makes that a winner, a Trade Paper Back compilation of my all-time favorite Marvel storyline the Dark Phoenix saga, back in the glory days of Claremont and Byrne, the 80′s comic dream team, a TPB of the Jim Lee run of the X-Men… oh, and I’m supposed to review the entire run of Sandman plus Death compilations, but since I already have those, no freebies there…

So now there is this big, huge, gaping maw of geek matter that draws me in with the inexorability of a white dwarf crushing under its own gravitational pressure in that most feared of all cosmic phenomena, the Black Geek Hole. Speculation in the scientific community suggests that travel through could lead to new laws of time flow, possibly lead to portals that circumvent normal relativisic laws of travel, or possibly lead to other dimensions altogether, like my deranged imagination, for example.

Between writing Serial Jen, playing Xenosaga (Purely for work-related reasons, of course. I love my job…) reading a mess of comic books, writing up all that material, and securing new article ideas/interviews/reviews for the PC platform (Yes Amos, those last two are directed at YOU. Do me proud. Use your spell check regularly, we work on American spelling, so it’s “center” not “centre” which is stupid anyway…) and last, but certainly not least, sucking up to the girlfriend in the wake of the Geek Vortex, things will be busy and posts, while not disappearing altogether, will probably be small.

See ya’ on the other side…
