Book Review: Dangerous Gamers
I don’t usually review too many non-fic books here (well I did Scott Adams), but I just read Dangerous Gamers: The Commentariat and it’s war against video games, imagination and fun. I have to say this is probably the most poignant and relevant analysis of our culture and it’s direction I’ve ever read. It goes […]
Wonder Woman Page A Fake
My bad, I should have verified the info before posting but it turns out that last WW quote was not real from the book. This was edited: This is the real: Mistakes happen, and we’re definitely so used to seeing it it’s easy to jump at these things that sound exactly like they would be […]
The Last Crusade: Superseding Nationalism
This morning I read a lecture from a Catholic-American artist, speaking of art and culture in the context of the overall health of mankind. Naturally, he finds the current neo-Babelism of the globalists to be something troubling, but what’s interesting is he takes a step back in the conflict between nationalism and globalism and finds […]
Happy Crusade Day
On this day, November 27th 1095, Pope Urban II preached the First Crusade, ordering European Christians to retake the Holy Land from the barbaric Islamic forces that had captured it. He coined probably the most important phrase in history outside of the teachings of Christ Himself, “Deus Vult!” Celebrate this day by committing to join […]
Never Listen to Pop Science
Gizmodo shows there’s been unintended health consequences of light pollution due to the implementation of LED lights. Indeed, as the new results show, the amount of outdoor lighting around the world has increased during the past several years. “As a result, the world has experienced widespread ‘loss of the night,’ with half of Europe and […]
Do Not Be Unequally Yoked
A reader left a rather chilling comment on my youtube channel worth reading: I had a girlfriend, and relationship lasted about three years. I adored her. Friendship, affection, passion, and common ground in movies and books, with lots of fun sharing…or at least I thought. One day a minority woman was pushing her around, and […]
Black Friday – Cyber Monday Sale!
The Lasers Dragons And Keyboards Podcast (great book podcast run by great people) coordinated several authors for a four-day sale. Superversive Press is joining in on this, and added my books For Steam And Country and Gravity Of The Game to the list. If you haven’t checked them out, now’s a great time. If you […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful for all of you, my readers. You’re the best and keep me going through the hard days and good ones. I also just got an interesting message from an unlikely source about my recent Gravity Of The Game novella which implies some folk over on the establishment side of the world are reading it, […]
The Last Crusade: Deliver Us From Evil
Yesterday when I was doing my weekly scripture reading, I found that I all too often don’t exhibit the traits describing love, which are the traits of God. It made me reflect on the fact that I also all too often have evil thoughts, and even if I haven’t act on those, a part of […]
The Awful Truth About Forgetting
Yeah I may have clikcbaited you a little bit with the title. But it worked. You’re reading. I’m not going to do a blog about forgetting (of which I really do have a terrible long-term memory), but about a book titled The Awful Truth About Forgetting. I mentioned it briefly in the links in the […]
Monday’s Culture Roundup
I talked about quite a bit on today’s Periscope which you can view here: https://www.pscp.tv/jondelarroz/1eaKbqLZqWrxX?t=13 So I wanted to give a handy list of links to the things I mentioned.

Cool Cosplay!
This Halloween I was quite happy to learn I had the first cosplay (to my knowledge) based on my book. A reader sent me this picture of a dapper young gentleman: Dressed as the astounding and magnificent Baron Theodore Von Monocle. I’d say he did an excellent job, a nigh perfect job of recreating the […]
A Great Review From An Unlikely Source
A File 770 faithful actually left this on another blog about my short story, “Winning Is What We Do” “Then you get the whole of a JdA story. It’s actually quite funny, some of it intentionally so. Basically Trump and slightly-older son Barron are viewing their latest super-weapon, an all-US-made suit of power armour when […]
Marvel Ousts Alonso, Promotes New EIC
It’s been reported that Marvel has ousted Alonso. They’ve promoted C.B. Cebulksi who, refreshingly, seems to tweet mostly about creativity and art and not politics. Marvel Entertainment, the world’s most prominent character-based entertainment company, announced today that C.B. Cebulski has been promoted to Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief effective November 17, 2017. Former Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso has […]
Indie Comics Is Where It’s At
With all the troubles Marvel is having, even after their supposed “relaunch”, and while DC is certainly producing high quality art… it just doesn’t have the emotional stakes. Part of this is because of the way the big two are set up with their comics — to keep their characters the same: iconic and unchanging […]
The Anti-Male Discrimination Looks Worse For Sci-Fi Insiders
A reader did research and found some more staggering conclusions after reading my article on Anti-Male discrimination by publications. I was sent me the following by a source that has to remain anonymous for their own safety: After reading your piece, I decided to also take a look at the identity of the of the editorial […]
Ninja-K #1
The premise of this book is a relaunch (not retcon or reboot as it seems to follow the continuity and actually care about what Kindt delivered, actually referencing it in the script – which there’s a portion of in the Pre-Order edition I read), is someone’s going around killing all of the prior Ninja […]
It’s Okay To Be Male
Tor.com, a site that so egregiously banned from commenting one of the most popular minority authors in the field today (yours truly) for posting about actual on topic space opera during their #SpaceOperaWeek instead of playing their identity politics garbage, is back at it again. Today their writer urges a QUOTA on what you read […]
Leave Taylor Swift Alone
Marie Claire digs into Taylor Swift for her extreme– not saying anything about politics? Is this seriously what we’ve come to? The modern witch hunts by the extreme SJWs are so crazy that now they go after you if you simply don’t jump on the outrage train and shriek with everyone else. Or maybe a […]
Can Gamma Male Protagonists Evoke Classical Pathos?
I had an interesting discussion with a friend last night as we were digging far too deeply into anime. Almost every anime show (especially those set in a high school environment, which is the majority of them), have male protagonists that are your classic gamma male archetype. They are socially awkward, especially around women. When […]
MAGA 2020 Makes PJ Media!
Ace Reporter Megan Fox is the ONLY conservative media commentator to cover the anthology, some of the only pop culture out there going counter-culture to the anti-trump mainstream. She’s brave for covering it, we’re brave for making it. Makes a great combo. For years we conservatives have complained impotently about the derailing culture and lack […]
Review: Win Bigly by Scott Adams
Win Bigly By Scott Adams As an author who enjoys the marketing aspects of my business, I am always hungry in good marketing strategies or psychological persuasion analysis. As such, I’ve been following Scott Adams for some time, as he’s been keen to talk about the topic. His citing of Robert Cialdini’s Influence only gave […]
Comics to Prose Writing Styles
A lot of readers came here this year, but for those unaware of my history, I cut my teeth on writing in comic form. I became serious about comic script writing in 2010-2011 when I created my webcomic, Flying Sparks, which did pretty well with an audience and lasted 8 issues. Going back and reading […]
