Neon Genesis Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone

by on March 29, 2013 in E's Anime Reviews

So first off, I gotta say: I am absolutely thrilled that Toonami is back on Adult Swim. When I was but a budding nerd back in the early double zeroes, Toonami was the only place to find anime on cable (as far as I knew). And that was where I first saw Outlaw Star, Cowboy […]

Sorry, No New Update

by on March 25, 2013 in Letters to Superheroes

Due to a number of convoluted and uncontrollable circumstances (the most important of which is definitely not “I forgot”), there will be no Letters to Superheroes this week.  I’m going to use this time to build up a buffer of letters instead of just spewing them out at the last second like usual.  So tune in on […]

Who is Charles Valek?  Glad you asked!  He’s a traditionally trained animation major who designs and builds acrylic signs and other assorted knick knacks in sunny, depressing southern California.  You don’t see the connection between animation and plastic signs?  He wishes he could enlighten you, but it’s confusing to him as […]

Dear Man-Thing,

by on March 18, 2013 in Letters to Superheroes

Dear Man-Thing, Sometimes, they make it too easy to make fun of you. “Women cower in fear of the Giant Size Man-Thing!” But seriously, what is up with your powers? You secrete a corrosive acid when you detect fear in others and try to burn it away. Makes for a pretty cool slogan: “Whatever knows […]

Portal is an amazing video game developed by Valve. It is a puzzle game that involves two things: an in-portal and an out-portal; you shoot two different portals and can go in and out them.  It’s a bit difficult to explain, even though I found playing it and picking up the concept easy upon actually […]
