Also stirring up the format. What I had before caused a problem, so let’s see if this works better. 😛
Fan Fun
New Thunder Cats series! Article by Marc Bernardin over at io9.com – There’s a preview video here! Looks like it might be more serious/grown-up than the original. Looking forward to see what they do with it.
Shared by Rachel Caine is GameView – a fake gaming blog by her friend Glenn. The Half-Life’s Gordon Freeman speaks out entry is pretty cute. 🙂
