Munchkin is a dedicated deck card game by Steve Jackson Games, written by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, that has a humorous take on role-playing games. In this installment – The Elder Gods Stir in the Old West! What happens when Dodge City, Kansas is over run by the strange and the weird? And most importantly, who will win?

The week ended with a lot of people focused on the Super Bowl, and the commercials, trailers, and blackouts that occurred. But let’s not forget about all the other big news that landed on the Intardwebz this week.
The recent sale of the 1966 Batmobile (for more than FOUR MILLION BUCKS) was a pretty spectacular moment for pop culture and collectible fans, but I can’t help but feel a little bit of sadness at the loss of the one-of-a-kind Lincoln Futura concept car. (Yes, I realize that I am probably the only one lamenting the transmogrification of a Fifties bubble-top show circuit vehicle. I am occasionally inexplicably sentimental about weird things.) Still, it’s an idea that resonates with comics fans as well, given that no matter how wonderful Gail Simone’s Batgirl is, there are fans clamoring for Cassandra…
Have you ever had the feeling that you’ve done something before? I occasionally experience what the French call “Deja Vu,”, and I’m having a serious case of it right now.

When I was young, reading ‘Uncanny X-Men,’ I was both shocked and intrigued when Longshot and Dazzler suddenly arrived late in the middle of a battle, he shirtless, she wearing his distinctive jacket over a pair of panties and seemingly nothing else. This back-handed, but still overt treatment of sexuality among superheroes stuck with me, as it was not a “Very Special Episode” so much as a matter-of-fact moment which cemented the truth that the heroes were (in the vernacular of my teenage years) “doin’ it.” Sex is VERY difficult to work into comics effectively without pitfalls, and most interpretations…

During a recent Twitter discussion with a Faithful Spoilerite, I was reminded that Wonder Woman’s first animated appearance came during an episode of the cartoon version of ‘The Brady Kids.’ Of course, her first live-action shot at fame (not counting a quickie pilot from ‘Batman’ producer Bill Dozier during the time when that show was a media juggernaut) came as a blonde gadgeteer/martial artist in the Emma Peel vein, played by future ‘That’s Incredible’ presenter Cathy Lee Crosby. While not particularly successful (or, for that mater, sensible), it was nonetheless a gateway to the eventual, more successful Lynda Carter take…
This week, Stephen and Matthew flip through their memories to dredge up thoughts on early Doctor Who, and how it relates to Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time #1. November 23, 1963: A day that changed the world forever. That day saw the broadcast debut of Doctor Who, which was to become the longest-running science-fiction series on television. And now 50 years later, we pay tribute to one of the greatest pop-culture heroes of all time with this special series, which tells an epic adventure featuring all 11 incarnations of the intrepid traveler through time and space known simply as… the…
Thought Critical Hit is distributed to the masses every Saturday, of late we have been recording the actual shows on Wednesday evening, and as of this writing, a C.H. session is scheduled for tonight. (Wish me luck, my dice have been wonky lately.) The duration of this campaign makes it officially my second-longest running game of all time, and I always enjoy playing young Halston Thorquelson, but sometimes I like to consider what type of character I might want to play in a (completely theoretical) new session. Would I want to be a striker? A leader? A shape-shifting creature? A…

Today, while driving through my sleepy little down, I spotted one of those “inspirational” window stickers proclaiming the three things you need in life. Do we really need three? Isn’t there more to life than that? And if there are more, is there one that is more important than the other? VOTE! [poll id=”270″]
