If the World DOES End at 6 PM Today

I hope it's 6 PM Pacific Time. Because the Mets/Yankees game starts at 7:10 Eastern, and if the Rapture is at 9 PM Eastern, they could probably get five innings in so it would be an official game. PAD

"Blind Man's Bluff"–Because you Demanded it

Well, one guy asked, actually, but okay. Here's when you can discuss the latest and possibly last entry in the New Frontier series. Why possibly last? Because the economy sucks, the publishing industry is slowly disintegrating, and rather than make long term plans, Pocket is making decisions entirely based upon what's happening right now. So [...]

Important Updates

Corey posted this in the comments, but I feel it's important enough to make separate note of since it directly relates to work of mine that might be of interest: New Release: Crusade: Other Voices Volume 2, which collects PAD's script and outlines for his episode of Crusade, "Ruling from the Tomb." Also features an [...]

Interesting Poll Results

On Monday, Jon Stewart showed up on Bill O'Reilly's show to debate (of all stupid things) the invitation of rapper Common to the White House. On O'Reilly's own website, they put up a poll question: Who won the debate? The answer: An overwhelming 79% voted for Stewart. Did "Daily Show" fans swamp O'Reilly's site and [...]

Stupid Instructions contest results, Part 2

Originally published April 21, 1995, in Comics Buyer's Guide #1118 Continuing from last week the winners of the "Stupid Instructions" contest (which may well be the most stupid contest we've ever run. But that's only appropriate, I guess.) Most Stupid Computer-Related Instructions Computers. These mystical, confusing things that they try to make more and more [...]

X-Factor #219; Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #4

This is the place to discuss them (provided for your convenience.) PAD

A Missed "Glee" Opportunity

In this week's episode, the ever-scheming Sue concocted a plan where the New York City-bound "New Directions" would wind up on a plane that would dump them in Libya instead. Without giving away anything major (they've been promoting the hell out of the NYC episode) let's just say it doesn't work out that way. I [...]

Cowboy Pete Held His Breath During the Last Five Minutes of "Chuck" (w/spoilers)

Okay, well, admittedly I did exhale and then inhale it a couple of times. See, my story sense told me that there would be a serious change to the status quo in the last act of the show, and I was afraid I knew what it was. Turns out I was wrong, thank God. When [...]

Publicity Double Dipping

Remember how a month or so ago I reported that X-Factor won a GLAAD award? Well, apparently some sites just got wind of it. There was a second awards ceremony carried out in San Francisco a few days ago (as opposed to the one in New York in April) and it seems it was (re)announced [...]

Stupid Instructions contest results, Part 1

Originally published April 14, 1995, in Comics Buyer's Guide #1117 Well, it's that time. I know that all of you have been waiting with breathless anticipation. There's been nothing else on your mind. But it is, finally, that time: I'm ready to announce the results of the Stupid Instructions contest. For those of you who [...]
