I have been immensely busy recently, but I was smart enough to take today off to decompress after the fundraiser, and I'm using the time to catch up on my months-old comics backlog.

My hot take: comics good.

2025's fundraiser is done! We raised more this year than any year before it. Hell of a feat ten years in.

$7033CAD raised in 2025, putting us in the top 0.9% of Extra-Lifers this year!

$40,460CAD raised in total!

Thank you to everyone who came to chat, lurk, play, and donate.

Now: sleep.

Got the overnumbered Viktor! This was one of my top 'hope to pull' cards, so I'm thrilled.

Good mail day!

A double dip on both Shin Godzilla and Nightmare Alley, but Shin in 4K is too good to pass up and I'm stoked to watch the B&W cut of Nightmare.
A hand holds 4K releases of Nightmare Alley (Criterion edition), Arcane Season 2, and Shin Godzilla.

"Gary? Yes... that was what they used to call me. Dark Gary. That was my name.

I am Light Gary, and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."
Screenshot of an online store product selection. It shows a man in the same hat twice, one in dark grey, one in light. The product is misspelled as "Gary" instead of grey.

Good mail day!
A hand holds a copy of Superman on 4K in front of a shelf of other movies. The cover art depicts a picture of Superman from the chest up, surrounded by silhouettes of other people, giving him a "one of the people" vibe.

The dumbest way I have ever won a game of Magic.
A table with Magic the Gathering cards. A City Pigeon card has a +1/+1 counter on it and has two equipment cards attached: Dock Ock's Tenticles and Biorganic Carapace. The combined buffs make the pigeon a flying 8/8.

My 24hr stream in support of SickKids Children's Hospital is in November, so it's time:

I'm looking for prizes to give away! Digital goods, cool swag, you name it.

This is my 10TH YEAR and we have raised over $23,000 USD together!

DM me if you have anything! Does not need to be game-related!

A young girl, reported missing after a cave-in months ago, has re-appeared as the leader of a mysterious Pokemon commune. With no humans welcome, there is only one way to get to the bottom of this case:

Toxic Avenger fucking rules. Over the top, funny as hell, and full of performances best described as "understood the assignment."

Can't believe it took so long for us to get to see this film, but it was worth the wait.
Key art for The Toxic Avenger featurinh Toxie, a green, mutated man, wielding a mop. The whole image is tinted green and features the title in a rough font.
