Go the F**k to Sleep As Read by Samuel L. Jackson

Go the F**k to Sleep As Read by Samuel L. Jackson

Written by Adam Mansbach and illustrated by Ricardo Cortés, Go the F**k to Sleep is a progressive bedtime story book that breaks the traditional norms of reading to your child. As someone who finished some units in child development, reading bedtime stories to your child has nothing to do with the choice of book. You could be reading the newspaper for all he or she cares but what is important is the tone of voice that you keep that soothes your little one, eventually falling into deep slumber. Above is the audiobook version read by Samuel L. Jackson which is by far the best version out there. If you’re a Read more »

‘Amy’ Is a Zombie Survival Nightmare

I’m intrigued by the games of Lexis Numerique. They’re doing some really interesting, unusual things with gameplay, and as someone who’s attracted to original stories, I’m fascinated with the outside-the-box storytelling Lexis is coming up with. Their upcoming Red Johnson’s Chronicles looks very cool, and today I learned of another title they’re working on called Amy. Read more »

Andrew Lancaster’s Taxidermy Creations – the Weirdest Things You’ll See This Week

Have you been feeling a little bored lately with all that you find online? Are you up for a little bit of weirdness that might just bring that spark you are seeking from your daily browsing? If so, then I have the perfect set of photos to show you on this gloomy Monday. (I envy those of you who are enjoying the sunshine today.)

Impressive Touhou Anime from Comiket

Impressive Touhou Anime from Comiket

Comic Market, or Comiket is a bi-annual event held in Tokyo that allows artists and creators to show off and/or share their works and ideas with like-minded people. As the name of the event would suggest, the vast majority of works found at Comiket are self-published comic books. There are, however, still a number of groups (or circles) that publish their own video games, music, and anime. A popular series of games that originated from past Comikets is Touhou Project, more commonly referred to Touhou and mainly consists of bullet-hell scrolling shooters. Created single-handedly by a man that goes by the name of ZUN, Touhou came to fame as fans Read more »

Fairy Tales Told Using Balloons

The Big Bad Wolf

Who doesn’t love fairy tales? Every child grew up learning at least one fairy tale by heart, or at least one version of a story. As we grow older, it seems that fairy tales still hold a special place in our lives. Just take a look at the countless movies that are nothing but little kids’ stories re-made for children and adults alike! What Airigami artists Larry Moss and Kelly Cheatle have done with fairy tales as we know them is totally different, though. Instead of changing the story lines, they have used a different kind of material to re-tell the stories. Balloons. And no, I am not being full Read more »

Now That’s How To Reinvigorate A Universe!

Ultimate Fallout #6

Cast your mind back to 1985, and the first reboot that DC underwent in the wake of the Crisis On Infinite Earths. For a few months, writers on certain titles seemed to have free reign on certain titles; able to compose whatever story they liked, and damn the consequences. Because, basically, there were none. We can see this happening once again in many of the flagship DC titles, specific examples being the Justice League and the Justice Society. Now I have been quite critical of the former recently; we all know that substitute Leagues never tend to succeed, and despite a promising start, James Robinson has not delivered a satisfactory Read more »
