This triggered me. Triggered me so hard in the heart. Because I miss that gorilla, okay? Harmabe, up in heaven, if this movie isn’t a testament to you and your sacrifice, I don’t know what is. He was a good gorilla. Anyhow…I don’t get to go see many movies, other than Pixar or little kiddie […]
GeekChats With Dragon Award Winner Nick Cole (Tue 3/28)
I’ll be chatting with Nick at the link below about blackballing and corruption in the entertainment industry and how the FAKE NEWS media exacerbates the problem. We’ll go live Tuesday, March 28th 2017 at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. ve
The Triumph /pol/ Special Forces: Pepe Team 6
There is an unbelievable amount of Kekistaniphobia out there, believe me. It’s some of the worst hate and bigotry anyone could imagine. Kek is strong, and its power intensifies every time. It doesn’t stop the hate, however. It got so bad that a prominent political campaign tried to defame this entire group of people, and […]
So, I Watched The Dave Chappelle Netflix Special Last Night…
…It was absolutely hilarious. I saw Mr. Chappelle at a really small venue in 2008 in San Francisco, one of the few times I’ve ever made an effort to actually go out to a comedy show. I wasn’t disappointed. His gift for comedy is unsurpassed, and he literally took questions from the audience and made […]
Steampunk or Space Opera or…
Periodically, I get advised that I should stick to one “genre”, and that to really do well consistently and long term that that’s the way to go as an author. That can be true to some extent. I have a friend who sold incredibly well with a non-fiction memoir book, and then when he wrote […]
Comic Review: XO Manowar #1
XO Manowar #1 came out yesterday, a relaunch by Valiant comics who already relaunched the 90s property in 2012, which from my cursory look on the internet met with great reviews. I’ve actually never read either prior incarnation of XO Manowar, and am coming at this as a new reader, which probably is most helpful […]
How To Spot FAKE NEWS
First of all, I would like to congratulate Castalia House for trolling so hard, so funnily, that Amazon itself seems to be thrown into turmoil as separate employees keep putting their most recent book up and bringing it back down, as if no one can decide whether they should “punish” the publisher. They’re also due […]
Comic Review: The Invisible Republic Vol. 1
UPDATE: After I leave a positive review of their book, both @GabrielHardman and @CorinnaBechko blocked me on Twitter. Very weird. Do they not want positive reviews of their book, or people reading them? Do they just block reviewers? Is there a worse intention of that blocking there because of my whistleblowing of the comics industry’s […]
An Update On Marvel Writers And Political Blackballing
Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool did bring to my attention that there were more books than the ones I listed, and so I went for another week of “upcoming release” for Marvel to go through an additional crop of writers. Wow they have a lot of writers. Still, not one who has anything nice to […]
Retro Review: The Ginger Star by Leigh Brackett
I discovered Leigh Brackett, like many of the books I am reading recently, through Jeffro Johnson’s analysis of D&D’s Appendix N. While this book was not the one listed as an influence for the game, it was the only one my local used bookstore had. While figuring out what to read next, I picked this […]
Bleeding Cool’s Attack Backfires Among Own Readers
It’s pretty easy to defend the truth, as I found when having to deal with a smaller news site attacking me a couple months ago. Look at all these positive comments: Guy hit the nail right on the head… he spoke about them accurately and how everything is going with them My love of diversity […]
How Fake News Operates
Got a nice message this morning to find out I was on Bleeding Cool news, a comic book news website for those who don’t follow such things. Last week, I forwarded them my 2nd blog on the troubles that Marvel is having, after my research going into every single one of their writers’ twitters and […]
Retro Review: Tarzan Of The Apes
I’ve been promising a review of this book on social media since before the weekend. This is the original Tarzan Of The Apes, Edgar Rice Burrough’s classic 1912 novel that spawned more than twenty sequels, endless comic books, a ton of film adaptations over the years, and for the crime of being a true man’s […]
When The Blackballing Gets So Bad Even The MSM Reports
Hollywood Reporter actually posted an article A New McCarthyism today, following the theme of a lot of what I’ve posted about over the last few months, from my own local convention shunning me over politics, to Marvel Comics’ apparent litmus test of only hiring writers of the extreme left persuasion. This isn’t in Hollywood alone, but […]
Marketing 101: Content Creation & Knowing Your Audience
I blog post a lot, and have been active enough for long enough to note trends. I hit upon about one topic per week that my audience clicks and shares on repeat until it gets a viral amount of traffic that I wonder both where it comes from and where it goes the next day. […]
Marvel’s REAL Diversity Problem
In yesterday’s post on Marvel, I talked about the global problems that have gone on for a long time that have consequently torpedoed the comic book industry over decades. Disney is either complacent in this or they are pushing this decline of this division, which can only be described as a complete business failure. It […]

That Time I Wrote 40K Fan-Fic and Forgot I Did…
I just found this after years. I adapted someone’s short story for 40k into an audio drama for some people online as I was very interested in audio dramas at the time (still am!). Tonight, Daddy Warpig sent over a link to some old Shadow radio dramas from the 30s, which I found awesome, so […]
“Make Mine Marvel No More!”
Marvel Comics has a big problem. I was in my local comic shop today, of which I don’t frequent nearly as much as I used to. I don’t want to say I lost a love for comics, as I recently just plowed through the trade paperbacks of Chew and finished 4 of the end of […]
Michael Savage Assaulted While Out To Dinner
Edit: In retrospect, I should have titled this: “Literal Nazi Left: SJW Assaults Elderly Jewish Man”. Oh well, next time. Cuz it will happen again. Even formerly nice places like Tiburon aren’t safe. This is why my wife tells me I’m not allowed to wear my Make America Great Again hat out, even to go to […]
Rachel Maddow’s Lessons for Fandom
I’ll start with some funnies before we get into the serious. Above, I have the exclusive envelope in which was given to MSNBC last evening. Wonder where it came from? Last night we saw an all too common event escalate to levels where we haven’t seen it before. All of America tuned in to watch […]
New Projects Round Up
Made a lot of progress in the last couple of days. Here’s the skinny of it while I’m hard at work: Edits of For Steam and Country coming back today. I’ll have to dive in and make my own follow up corrections to the work and work on the next clean up pass before copy […]
Retro Review: Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson
Once more I delve into my own study of the works of Appendix N and the #PulpRevolution, hopefully not to be too redundant with Jeffro Johnson’s wonderful analysis of the works, as I’m more interested in exploring a literary genre to see what I can pull of value for my own storytelling and reading edification, […]
The Spring Training Experience
Over the weekend I did my first ever Spring Training trip with my father, father in-law and my oldest son. We went to the Cactus League in Phoenix, AZ to see the Oakland A’s for three games: KC Royals (Away), TX Rangers and Chicago Cubs. It was about the perfect weekend trip timing wise, taking […]
