When I was a kid, I was totally into cars, especially the weird concept cars of Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth, and spent a great deal of time reading about and identifying vehicles of all stripes and origins. Now that I’ve grown up to become the world’s biggest comic nerd (by volume), I tend to do the same thing with superheroes, but that doesn’t mean that the earlier knowledge has just gone away… Welcome to Ten Things!

Recently, I made an offhand complaint to a friend that ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ was ticking me off with the difficulty of a particular video game mission, only to get an astonished response of “I didn’t know you were a gamer!” She’s now campaigning for me to buy an X-Bone so we can cause mayhem together (I’m seriously considering it, to be honest), but I’m not certain where I would even keep such a thing.
