Hack & Slash pt. 3

Flash got his revenge. This isn’t the last we’ll hear about the event.

 

I took my last final yesterday. I am officially done. Nothing to do now, but wait on that very important sheet of paper to get mailed to me.

 

Our house looks like a bomb exploded, and my toys were the victims. I forget how many collectibles I have until I have to pack them all away. It’s one of the joys of moving. That’s right, we’re FINALLY moving to Massachusetts. It’s been far too long.

 

One of the things I’m most excited about is, being able to buy comics again. Actually here’s a top 5 reasons I’m glad to be moving back to Mass.

1. COMIC BOOKS

2. Dunkin Donuts

3. Friends and family

4. Five and Dime getting the benefit of Rob and I working face-to-face

5. Getting to hurt Rob. (Physically and emotionally.)

 

I can’t get ahead of myself. Lots of packing and driving left to do. Not to mention, finding a job. Wish us luck.

Hack & Slash pt. 2

I’ve never had my account hacked. I don’t think it would be good. Something like that could stop me from playing a game ever again. It’s not about having my fictional stuff taken. It’s about the time it’d take to get it all back. I wouldn’t want to deal with the game’s makers on my personal time. I’m sure it’s not too much of a hassle, but it would be enough to stop me. I don’t have the patience.

 

Rob and I like the idea of being able to stalk down those that hack your account. I think it’s a smaller scale of Internet revenge lust. Who hasn’t wanted to find that unknown someone that bashed them on the Internet? Thankfully, some people make it their mission to defend us against the faceless masses.

 

We figured, if anyone can track the hacker down, Flash can. He has a the money and time.

 

The final strip in the series is Friday. Come back and see how it ends.

Quick Fix

Ironman 3. Did you see it? … No? Stop reading.

…

…

Seriously stop.

…

…

Last Chance!

…

==========================

!!! Warning Spoilers !!!

==========================

I wanted to give you a chance to back out. I hate spoilers. I am sure there are other reviews out there. Reviews written by better writers than myself. If you’re reading this, you probably just want my impression of Ironman 3. I enjoyed it.

 

I had the unique experience to watch the first two Ironman films, The Avengers, then Ironman 3 in the theater. It was great, and the environment made it even better.

 

I have one issue with Ironman 3. One small issue. I was a little put off by Pepper saving Tony right at the end. Only because the movie is “Ironman”, and call me crazy, but I think the title character should get the killing blow.

 

For that matter, Stark could’ve been in his suit more during the film. However, I have this problem with most comic movies. I know the actors want face time, but I go to the movie to watch Ironman. I don’t go to watch Robert Downey Jr. (The worst perpetrator of this comic movie crime was, the Spier-man franchise. Too much Toby Maguire.)

 

Despite these two small issues, I still really liked the movie. I will be seeing it at least one more time. The movie had the same flow, and feel of the previous two. It was funny, and had action. I liked how they handled The Mandarin. (Overall, I like how Marvel films have used science to explain the magic that exists in their movie universe.) I think the film was a good punctuation mark to stop on while they move on to other properties.

 

On deck: Star Trek: Into Darkness, and Man of Steel.

 

What did you think of Ironman 3?

Feminine Mystique

Feminine Mystique

First, we’re glad that everything turned out all right in Watertown. Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Sean Collier and Richard Donohue. It was a wild week. We hope that the city and the people in it can heal.

 

Onto the strip.I remember when Rob told me X-men First Class was good. Like, really good. I didn’t believe him. However, a rain storm stranded my sister, wife and I in a theater after watching Green Lantern. So, we turned it into a double feature. (X-Men proving to be the MUCH better of the two.)

 

Rob raved about a, then relatively unknown, Jennifer Lawrence. He was infatuated. I laughed him off, but logged his obsession into my memory. You never know when a strip idea can strike. It just so happens that it strikes when you find out Jennifer Lawrence is filming so close to Rob you can expect an abduction.

 

Lastly, I hope everyone noticed that you can comment down below. Commenting was an overwhelming pick in the poll we conducted on Facebook. I figured, why wait for the redesign? Now that it’s there, I hope you all take advantage of it, and tell us your thoughts. We’re looking forward to it to hearing what you have to say.

Turned Tables

Turned Tables

I’ve decided to write more lately, partly in an effort to improve my writing skills. The other reason is to provide a better service.

 

We’ve been trying to improve Five and Dime for some time now. I realized that pulling back on the blog may have been a mistake. I told myself a while back that I would pepper in longer blogs from time to time, but I never have.

 
Regarding today’s strip, we have always planned to convert Yah Dood into a geek. He’s been a character we’ve been thinking about incorporating since Five and Dime’s inception. The time to introduce him didn’t feel right until this year. We hope you’re enjoying his transformation. We believe that geekdom is something everyone can relate to. Sometimes that guy, standing confused in your local store, might be looking for the same thing you are.

An extra Flash is enough to cause terror. Three of him could destroy the world.

Off Limits

I do have a younger sister.

I’m not that protective.

Seriously, I’m not.

Okay, maybe just a little.

Fine. I may make an occasional death threat, but nothing serious.

Okay, I may have threatened a friend at sword-point.

Only once.

It was all in good fun. I swear!

Never-Ender-ing Story

Never-Ender-ing Story

This is not far from the truth. I have to be careful when I recommend Ender’s Game to others. If I start talking about it too much, I go read it. If I am taking a trip, I read it. If I am bored, I read it. I have read it, at least once, every year since I first read it. It’s my favorite book of all time.

 

As for the movie, I am cautiously optimistic.
