The Difference

Tim Allen Doom

If you're like me then every time you fire up Doom you wish to yourself "man, I wish someone replaced every texture with a picture of Tim Allen and every sound effect with him grunting" Well, thanks to Youtuber Marisa Kirisame our prayers have been answered. It's probably the most horrifying thing you'll see and hear today.

New Doom level released by game creator John Romero. What year is this?

Report: Marco Pappa stabbed in incident with Miss Washington USA last month. How did this news story fly under my radar? It has everything, action, adventure, romance, lingerie football.

The 13 Most Nonsensical Theories About The Identity of Supreme Leader Snoke. I don't know if these are really the MOST nonsensical. They didn't really include the one where he's actually Palpatine in Vader's body.

How Batman’s Silly 1960s Series Saved The Dark Knight. Man, I LOVE me some Batman TV show. Sure it's campy but I'll be damned if it isn't super fun. I watched the TV Show movie from 1968 with my son a little while ago and he loved it too. Someone should reboot that.

The 7 Best (And Worst) Wigs of Current Comics TV. I feel like I should be watching Arrow more.

New Doom Teaser

Look, they're rebooting Doom again. This 10 second teaser from E3 shows off a whopping 2 seconds of gameplay. I could see myself sitting down and playing a new version of Doom. I mean I could see myself completely ignoring it too. I don't know anymore. I'm just waiting for No Man's Sky to come out already.

Memories Of Doom, By John Romero & John Carmack. Last week Doom turned 20 years old. I was going to do a thing about it but I never got around to it. I still believe that Quake was more influential to the computer game biz than Doom but It's close. If you've ever played a game on a lan you can thank John Carmack and John Romero.

Breaking Good Guy News: Andre Johnson Is Still The Best Guy In The World. Here's a story that will warm your cockles. NFL star Andre Johnson took a bunch of underprivileged toy shopping. Hopefully he used his Toys R Us reward card 'cause he's sure to see some crazy coupons in the mail.

In a related story I tried to teach my kid a lesson this year by taking him toy shopping for the toy drive our local fire station puts on every year. He picked out a star wars toy all on his own and when we went to the fire station he handed it to one of the firefighters and told him thank you. Being a parent is hard work and you lose a lot more than you win but last night I was incredibly proud. The candy cane they gave us tasted like victory (and grape.. yuck).

These incredibly vivid color photos of Antarctica were taken in 1915. These pictures are pretty cool. I didn't even know they had color photography in 1915. Next thing you'll tell me is they had electricity and running water too.

The 10 Worst Gifts for Comic Book Readers. I like ComicsAlliance and in general I love Chris Sims's articles but this list is complete horseshit. I'd LOVE a stack of random weird ass comics. Or those Batman Crocs? TOTAL SWAG. A Thor movie staring Kevin Nash? I WISH I HAD DOUBLE CAPS LOCKS TO EXPRESS PROPERLY HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT!

15 powerful insights from Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five. I read this for the first time about a year ago. It's one of those books that was kind of underwhelming to me but the more I talked about it with my friends and wife the more I liked it. Maybe I'll have to check it out again.
