A recent entry, but I adore Ms. Marvel. She’s very much like Peter Parker when he was introduced—teenager, dealing with real-world problems as well as superhero problems—except that she’s also a Pakistani immigrant living in New Jersey, so she has culture clash issues to deal with on top of the rest. The best parts of her story are when her superhero life intersects with her family/friends life, just like Peter Parker back in the 60s.

Not a fan of the new “she’s actually a mutant and being drawn into the Krakoa X-Men storylines”. I love the Krakoa X-men storylines but I think they don’t fit with her very grounded character.

Honestly? Just their basic tacos. Maybe the Doritos version if they still have those. But just get a couple of the hard tacos with some Fire sauce. If you like those, you may like other things on the menu; if you don’t, you probably won’t like any of it. They’re Taco Bell distilled.

On one hand, Roxxon are badly overplayed as villains. On the other hand, I’ve enjoyed every Al Ewing work I’ve ever read. So on balance, sure, I’ll check it out.

I haven’t seen the anime but the manga is wonderful.

This is an obnoxious answer, but Gordon Ramsay yells so much about everyone else getting Beef Wellington wrong, I’d like to have his Beef Wellington, but made by him under the exact same conditions where the contestants got it wrong, with no special privileges.

I’m genuinely angry about how true that is.

There was a show at the NYC Fringe Festival, “I can haz cheeseburger, the musical”, that focused on the walrus’s quest to find his bucket. It wasn’t good exactly, but it was very of its moment.

See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.

The “Louise isn’t really a good archer” thing was telegraphed by the camera cuts right at the beginning, but setting that aside I really dug the episode.

A Nepalese restaurant moved into a former Indian restaurant’s space in my neighborhood just last year, and I got to try a momo for the first time. It’s delicious. Anyone who has the opportunity, go and try them.

Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.

Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.
