Greg Land strikes again!

onefinemess | April 30, 2009

W T F? That’s Lady Deathstrike. With 8 claw penises piercing Wolvy from behind. Uh hu.  It looks like he might be kind of enjoying it though. SERIOUSLY.  Does every face Greg Land traces have to come from porn??? Every single one? And why is she straddling him?  She wouldn’t even have the leverage to [...]

book reviews: Blue Adept & Juxtaposition

onefinemess | April 30, 2009

Blue Adept by: Piers Anthony I figured I’d just killed two birds with one stone…except that our metaphorical stone here would be the same size if it was two separate stones or one big one, and I’m not sure about the practicality of hurling a huge stone and getting the birds to stay in place [...]

I love this card

onefinemess | April 29, 2009

Naya Hushblade: I love everything about it – the casting cost, p/t, abilities, and the art.  Especially the art.  Not only does it convey some good flavor: Naya invader in Esper lands – for the non-Magic geeks, the materials making up the wall behind her give away a little about her location – but it’s [...]

Heroes: An Invisible Thread

onefinemess | April 28, 2009

Well. Hmm. I was surprised that the series finale was a normal length episode — I found that very odd.  I’ve heard they’re cutting back on the episode count for next season though, so maybe it’s all a budget thing. At least one scene was really poorly done.  The whole zapping Claire out the door [...]

Book review: The Temporal Void

onefinemess | April 27, 2009

by: Peter Hamilton I plowed throught this book…I think I made it through in 3 days.  Every chapter was good.  Seriously, I don’t remember any throwaways – everything was valuable to the reader.  It was one of the most engaging books I’ve read in a long time; quality quality. What to focus on…well…the book-within-a-book angle [...]

Weekend linksplosion

onefinemess | April 26, 2009

I haven’t done this in a while…but I’ve got too many links to get them out in any speedy manner if I do it one by one.  So.  BOOM: How to Destroy the Government in 3 Easy Steps : The conservative strategy, or so I’m told. Was Lincoln racist?  An examination of his changing political [...]

Heroes: I am Sylar

onefinemess | April 25, 2009

Fairly decent, even though focused on the guy that should really be dead – although hey look, now there’s not even a way to do that!  Yay :(.  His powers…again..way out of control.  How many power-people are there anyway?  It looked like they had dozens locked up a few episodes back, and Sylar must have [...]

book review: Split Infinity

onefinemess | April 24, 2009

by: Piers Anthony I occasionally go back and read a series from my childhood that I’ve mostly forgotten – usually because there’s nothing new I want to read for months at a time.  This time around it’s the Apprentice Adept series from Piers Anthony (I read A LOT of his books as a kid). I [...]

Act 3 outline finished!

onefinemess | April 23, 2009

out of 4. and wow does that feel good.  Even though nothing is really done – I still have to throw a couple fatscooter drivers worth of flesh on them thar bones, but at least the bones are there!   Hopefully I can subject lovely wife to it soon and see if sounds remotely interesting to [...]

Oh Orson. Sigh.

onefinemess | April 23, 2009

I hate knowing about author’s personal lives because it makes me harder to enjoy their books knowing they were written by a douche. Good thing I wasn’t particularly motivated to read any of his new books anyway – although I did see Ender in Exile on the shelf recently and at least made a mental [...]
