There's safety in your cubicle.

This weather is depressing.

It’s been another long layoff between articles, which might mean I’m losing some of my lust for the hunt. I’ve had some good finds in the last few months, including a couple of factory sealed gems, but I’ve also had some days where it just felt like a huge waste of time. The thrift stores seem to have dried up as of late, which has killed some of my motivation to go looking. Maybe it will only take another great find to get me back on track... In any case, here’s what I’ve compiled since late August. Find: NBA Live ‘98 x3 (SNES) Price / Condition: $3 each / varying condition Where at: Pawn Shop Why: In my efforts to track down ...

That's fine.

Good-Evil Game Hunts are back from the dead! A long overdue greetings to all the game collecting addicts out there! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I may have stopped writing up the tales of my exploits, but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped hunting altogether. I know many of you haven’t either, with warm summer weather providing that extra nudge to climb out of your dark, musty game room and venture forth into the world of thrift stores, pawn shops, and maybe even garage sales (I still don’t bother with those much, though). Not having enough time to write has been the main reason for the hiatus, but last week, I had such a fortune-bedazzled day of hunting that I was compelled to tell the tale. It began on an unassuming Sunday morning, when I got the itch to make a run at the pawns. I picked up my cousin, and took a trip down a stretch of highway with a dense concentration of pawn shops, plus a few thrift stores and Half Price Books sprinkled in. This particular area has been good to me in the past, but on this fated day, I truly could not miss. I came away with armfuls of great deals at almost every stop, and even at the ones that didn’t yield tons of finds, I still found something worth buyting. I attribute this perfect luck to one of two things: the distinguished company of my cousin Andrew, who might have unknowingly lent a Midas touch to my hunts, or the Shizz Chiptune compilation CD, which blasted out of the car speakers as we made our way through the city. Let’s make like Scrooge McDuck, and dive into the loot!

There was a concert we went to and it was fun.

Well, it's been awhile, but the lure of Free Comic Book Day compelled us to return. I think Free Comic Book Day is probably one of the smartest things the comic industry does, and it's a great chance to showcase some of your best comics and get new readers, lapsed readers, or young readers into a store and out with a bunch of comics for free. It put a smile on my face seeing the amount of kids running for a Spider-Man comic and able just to grab it and walk out with it and read it. So which comics were worth the time, and which ones just wasted it? Read on for Spider-Man, Cap/Thor, Locke & Key, Super Dinosaur, and more!

Hello again, readers! It was a big week for comics, and unfortunately we didn't have time to review everything. But here is a fresh batch of reviews. The Fear Itself event kicked off, Generation Hope and Uncanny X-Force keep their momentum, and those lovable scamps in Young Avengers continue to confuse.

Apologies, ready readers! Real life has been getting in the way of our comic reviewing. We've overcome cross-country travels and unexpected work conferences to bring you quite a few reviews this week!

I stopped bothering with Wolverine comics when he lost his nose and became a feral monkey sporting a bandanna in the 90’s. I have my limits, and X-Men books were rapidly going down the shitter at that point, so I hopped off. However, after reading Origin a few years ago and giving Old Man Logan a chance, I thought a new series starting clean would be a good chance to see where Wolverine stands. Well, a LOT has changed since the swingin’ 90’s. Wolverine now has a definitive back story. He remembers all of his past. He’s got two children. He’s now on approximately 12 different super teams. He has a nose. So while I was a bit overwhelmed when ...
