Parallax Returns...Again?


I was browsing through the solicitations for DC Comics in January of next year and I came across this cover for Green Lantern #50. What's so intriguing about this cover is it shows a character that I haven't seen for years - Hal Jordan as Parallax.

This maniac killed every Green Lantern there is and eventually destroyed the planet of Oa. However, I still find him as a cool villain, even if he was just a way to later introduce Kyle Rayner as the last Green Lantern.

So will we see him again next year?

Superman's Powers in Detail

Ever wondered the nuts and bolts of Superman's powers? If you're not satisfied with Wikipedia's answers, try this instead: Ben Tippet wrote an actual scientific paper about Superman's powers titled, "A Unified Theory of Superman's Powers."



How about that for a thesis paper eh?

Old DualShock 2 Controller

After the events of a typhoon that struck this country weeks ago, I got the time to clean up my room thoroughly. And I found a lot of my old things. Most of them are already too old to work again. Just like this:


My PS2 controller. I remember it brand new just like yesterday.

MadCatz Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition FightStick (PS3)

After months of saving up (starving myself and looking away from statues), I finally got myself a TE fight stick for the PS3! Every fighting game enthusiast should have one of these to get the arcade feel right at home.

Saving Up For a Stick

 I like fighting games very much. I used to go to arcades every week just to have some good competition. But with the age of powerful consoles, one can now play at home online. However, it wouldn't be complete without using an arcade stick.

That's one thing I like about playing in the arcades. Aside from good players, I like using the sticks. It gives better control over the gameplay. So that's why I'm gonna get myself this.

Disney Acquires Marvel!

This is probably the most shocking news in comics in a few years. Even I got surprised, in a "OMG What the hell just happened?! I just shit my pants!" way.
