Waiting for Wednesday, Issue 43

Dec 23, 2009
Welcome, one and all, to the last Wednesday of the comic book year. Bwah-huh? What's that you say, Alex? But there's one more week left in the year! Yeah, about that. There is one more Wednesday left in the year, but not on the comic book calendar....

Updating Wizard

Okay, so, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this was done on account of me, and my brilliant post on the subject last month. Yep, according to this article over at Bleeding Cool News, the often controversial Wizard Magazine has decided to bring back...

As promised, here's my run of the PC detective adventure game Deja Vu, complete with humorous commentary and ridiculous gameplay. You don't need to know anything about this game to enjoy these videos. So... enjoy!

  The writing is good, even if the style doesn't always match my tastes. The subjects are usually interesting as well... but the main reason I feel like I can't give a higher rating is that I sometimes feel like I read out of obligation, rather than interest. Some posts interest me, but they always seem to skim the surface rather than delving deeper into a fandom. I feel like a "good" blog writer is able to take a topic and expose the "hidden" points in a way that makes other people want to read/learn more. Waiting for Wednesday is an example of this; it seems more suited for a hardcore comic blog. As a casual reader of the blog, I don't really care what's coming out, and mini-reviews don't help much to pique my interest, either, unfortunately... Sorry guys. Here's to the future!
