Hey guys Fenrir here with a rather quick bite of some Food for Thought! School winding down for many of us over here in the states — it could be graduation for those of us who are part of the class of 2013, and more generally the start of a much-deserved summer after a whole year of blood, sweat, and toil. And, for those of us in the know, the end of the Spring semester also means the premiere of several student animations – and if you’re really looking to procrastinate that final take-home final, then get ready to spend some quality time with some of the best up-and-coming animated works to grace your Internet browser!

Well we continue on our adventures through the past this week with the very first of a long running series that I’ve already covered the first 3D entry of. Metroid is a series that, as I’ve discussed before, acts as, both mechanically and stylistically, the hardest-core franchise of Nintendo’s line up. The Metroid series is gritty, difficult, and dark, and stands in tremendous contrast to the other offerings from Nintendo.

A review copy was provided by Trident Media Group.

I’ll start by saying I’m one of the few who hasn’t been taken in by the recent zombie craze. Though works like The Walking Dead, World War Z, and Zombieland have filled the public consciousness over the last few years, I’ve never had more than a passing interest in the fad. Recently, however, I picked up Kevin J. Anderson’s Death Warmed Over, the first novel starring Dan “Shamble” Chambeaux, a zombie private eye. Before long, I found myself engrossed in this clever book.

Great-Gatsby

Be sure to also check out Fenrir’s in-depth review of the film.

Starshine: Hello everyone! And welcome to another action-packed edition of Objection! This week we’ll be discussing the new Baz Luhrmann film, The Great Gatsby. As always I am Starshine.

Silverwolf: And I’m Silverwolf! Personally, I thought the film was great and have few complaints. My compatriot, as you’d expect, holds a different viewpoint.

Starshine: I do indeed. I thought it was an incredibly disappointing film and adaptation. While there are some things to be praised about it, I think it falls flat on its face.

Silverwolf: What do you think were some of the films biggest failings?

sword of sorcery #8

Finally, the day I’ve been dreading the last few months is here. Yesterday, DC Comics released the final issue of the series Sword of Sorcery. While initially I met the series with a rather lukewarm reaction, it quickly grew to become one of my favorite monthly titles. Today, I’m not only going to review the final issue, but also offer my thoughts on the potential of this series and why it didn’t last beyond nine issues.
