What subjects will you see here: Anime (a lot of One Piece and FLCL lately), manga, comic books, super heroes, video games, rpgs, jrpgs, books, fantasy fiction, science fiction, creative writing, maybe some of my own fiction if I muster up the courage to share, favorite quotes, hockey, Buffalo Sabres, maybe some personal views of mine, art, illustrations (those that I find worth sharing and tend to be fantasy/sci-fi), concept art (for video games, books, comics, etc), things relating to Iowa and/or Iowa City,aaaand some other stuff but that is most of it.
Some words of wisdom from Dr. Phillip Boyce (John Hoyt) to Captain Christopher Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) in the original Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage.”
I decided to watch every Star Trek series from the very beginning. Thanks Netflix! (Taken with Instagram)
This is the new tech developer Quantic Dream (makers of Heavy Rain) is working with, but this is not actual game footage, which is unfortunate because this looks amazing.
Going to be a sony exclusive apparently. I am excited.
io9 article
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. is suing Dynamite Entertainment over its Lord of the Jungle and Warlord of Mars comics. ERB Inc., which represents the Burroughs family,accuses Dynamite of violating the trademark for characters like Tarzan and John Carter. And they say that Dynamite’s cover art is too sexy and lowers the moral tone of these characters, because apparently they’ve never seen any other John Carter art.
A.Hippo replies to the article with quotes from the book:
“And the sight which met my eyes was that of a slender, girlish figure, similar in every detail to the earthly women of my past life… Her face was oval and beautiful in the extreme, her every feature was finely chiseled and exquisite, her eyes large and lustrous and her head surmounted by a mass of coal black, waving hair, caught loosely into a strange yet becoming coiffure. Her skin was of a light reddish copper color, against which the crimson glow of her cheeks and the ruby of her beautifully molded lips shone with a strangely enhancing effect.
She was as destitute of clothes as the green Martians who accompanied her; indeed, save for her highly wrought ornaments she was entirely naked, nor could any apparel have enhanced the beauty of her perfect and symmetrical figure.”
Canon.
I had to do this for A. Hippo’s fantastic reply. Here is an alien from the upcoming film John Carter with “Come at me, bro!” added to the bottom. 
Man the battle stations! An early European industrialist creates a walking tower, powered by steam, inspired by recent, unidentified automatons.
