I'm five years old again. I picked up Titan's new Transformers comic, just out of casual interest, only to discover a comic story written by Simon Furman and drawn by the...

I've written an article! One about something other than about comics! But I haven't strayed too far from my usual path, as games we hope never get released on the Virtual...

I'm currently working through the Grauniad's 1000 Films You Must See Before You Die, and it's going to take a while, but I just wanted to note that, apparently, it is now...

Copying Vader's funeral from Return of the Jedi, shot for shot, was a bit too cute, even for me, but otherwise... crikey that was a good episode of Who.Wowsers.

In the Marvel Universe of today, as a result of a lengthy and boring story that claimed to be a civil rights metaphor but was actually about Iron Man and Captain America...

Gosh, it's been a while. Well, not much has changed in my life, except now I have a proper job, working in the enrolments office of one of Brighton's colleges. The inexorable...

To be honest, I wasn't very impressed when I heard about this, but Meg was, so she had us go on a hunt for the book in question. Is that Neil Gaiman and John Romita's new...

From the New York Times:...more viewers are watching shows delayed rather than live, using TiVo and other DVRs. Research indicates those viewers are more likely to fast-forward...

Yes, I've joined yet another social networking site (although one must ask how much social networking you can do if you're at a computer all day updating umpteen profile...

They drew very obvious parallels between the Time Lord regeneration process and the experiment Mr Saxon was funding. Which is no surprise, as we saw Saxon looking very ill...

So apparently, a new online version of Sensible World of Soccer is being released to the X-Brick's Live service. Online. Sensi. X-Brick only.Bloody Micro$oft.

They've got David Lloyd and Kate Evans (among others) in to do a talk/workshop thing on the 18th of May. David Lloyd drew V for Vendetta. Kate Evans does political activism...

And yet, still better than the Matrix sequels.

I really like the Wii's Virtual Console feature, where you can download old games and play them on your new shiny bit of kit. There are a lot of features I'd like to see added,...

No no no no no no, and no.No.

It's one of my favourite films, but One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing has its problems, most notably the dreadful portrayal of the Chinese characters (ie, they're British actors...

They remade The Fog and Assault on Precinct 13, they're remaking Halloween (particularly pointless, since the many sequels are essentially remakes) and Escape from New York....

A while ago, I contributed to an anthology based on Martin Eden's superhero comic The O Men. Sadly, it never came to pass, but Martin's having another go, and the plan at the...

Comics, then. It's just occurred to me that when Aunt May comes out of her coma, she's going to have forgotten that she knows Peter is Spider-Man, isn't she?Post-Civil War you...

Since no one has taken up my excellent suggestion of a Daredevil TV series (think about it, you can do superheroics and case of the week courtroom stuff and soap opera love...

-
So the Americans are now going to pin both the World Trade Centre attacks and the murder of Daniel Pearl on this fellow, apparently based on "confessions". I fully expect to...

The original Transformers movie has become quite famous as my geeky brethren have taken over the pop culture agenda of the world, but there was also a considerably less popular...
-
Well, I've read the first issue of Bendis' Mighty Avengers, and... it's not bad. Some of Bendis' regular annoying flaws pop up, as expected, and he even develops a new one in...

For a while now, we've had mobile phones that can play mp3s or connect to iTunes or whatever, but now we've got a little oojameflip that turns your iPod into a mobile phone.The...

Oh my gosh.Rocket Raccoon.Geek heaven. Of course, the image is annoyingly similar to a new version of my New Avengers picture that I've been working on, so now everyone will...

And just like that, all my spare time disappears.Twilight Princess is fantastic. Have a look at this sequence, which almost made me wet myself with geeky delight:Our Wii's...
