Con Report: Egypt Wars 1
Although some of our Ohio folks have already been to BashCon this year, the con season really kicked off this past weekend, with the Hex staff attending not one but two conventions. Ian and Colin Thomas (cult hero) went to Louisville for Conglomeration (Ian's posted a brief summary on the Hex forums--hopefully he'll go into more detail either on the forums or in a con report here [hint, hint]). Meanwhile, I headed to scenic Carbondale, Illinois for Egypt Wars. I arrived around noon Saturday, just in time to register and catch the end of the pony-themed Pathfinder game that one of the Quilt City Ogres was running.
Fratboy of the Week: The Ringleader
Wednesday WWPHITM? Tank Girl Reborn
Since 4 out of every 5 movies these days is a remake or adaptation, I've got this fantasy that one day somebody in Hollywood will give Diablo Cody a bunch of money to make a new Tank Girl movie. Below are my picks for Team Tank.
Fratboy of the Week: The Big Man On Campus
The big man on campus (BMOC) is a student who is known and liked (or at least envied) by just about everyone on campus, including members of the faculty and staff. The BMOC's popularity may be due to his athletic skill, good looks, or his position in an important organization or clique. Some BMOC's even attain their status by being decent human beings who people naturally like.
Wednesday WWPHITM?: Preacher
That's right, it's time for another installment of WWPHITM? This time around, we're going to cast the Preacher comic book series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. While it might be possible to do it as a movie, I think this is best suited for an HBO style series. Since there are so many storylines and characters in the series, we'll just stick with the central characters and a few of the more interesting folks who only show up for a few stories.
