Trudging along the alley ways of the cluster-full geek celebration that is called San Diego Comic-Con about a year ago, I stumbled upon the Oni Press booth.

Since I wrote my last alcohol review, I had a bit of an epiphany. I asked myself, “why should Battlemouth readers care about liquor reviews?” Well, the answer is simple. As comic/music/video game enthusiasts, you should all demand nothing but the best. But when it comes to high times in alcohol land, you choose the [...]

Lately, Nicolas Cage seems to think he’s some sort of wizard. He would have to for taking roles in Next and Knowing, two movies where he can “predict” the future, so close together.
