Star Wars: Rebels proves Disney fare is not weak
June 20 was the Season Two premiere for Disney’s first outing with Star Wars as an animated show. The kickoff was decent but nothing terribly revealing other than Darth Vader appearing and giving the two low-end Jedi Knights a serious ass kicking. … Continue reading
A little D&D humor

1990: Marquette graduation, the Marcotte version
Last month was the 25th anniversary of the Class of 1990’s graduation. No more games of three-man, no more papers and no more dorm-food dinners! Time to face the real world which in 1990 was during the Reagan-Bush Recession, the … Continue reading
1215: Magna Carta is signed
This very old document from English history is greatly exaggerated in what it actually established but I do think it put the Western Empire on the right track for what would follow: legislatures, habeas corpus, written constitutions, bills/charters of rights and numerous other … Continue reading
