Are trading card games really for children only?

Trading card games, or TCGs as I will call them for the sake of my typing skills, have seemingly exploded out of nowhere following the great release of Magic: The Gathering back in the 90s, and only furthered with the creation of the Pokemon cards and the well-known and well-made-fun-of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. TCGs have a reputation about them like most things that the "nerdy" community has about it--that only geeks play it, that they're just things and they don't have value, and that above all else:

They are made for children.

The Decision of the Door

The Twilight Zone has never been one to shy away from the concept of the Devil in the world, or at least his influence. Few times have they actually shown him, but one did they did have the William Shatner square off against a fortune-machine with the Devil's head on it. It seems his influences pump the fuel and the conflict of several episodes. Yet in each one of these episodes, it is quite the expected or typical situation. A man strikes luck and after making a deal with the Devil everything seems to go his way, only to come out on the bottom in the end thanks to the trickery of the Devil.

Top 10 Comic-Book Movies

In recent years there have been a heck of a lot of super-hero movies. Some good (like with what Marvel Studios has done) and some bad (looking at you Spider-Man 3). Regardless, it's good to know that comic books and their respective super-heroes are being shown on screen for everyone to enjoy, particularly for those who maybe haven't heard of the character before then.

The industry has evolved to the point where sometimes it doesn't even feel like a comic book movie. They can be legit, Oscar-nominated movies that are analyzed by the same people who look at dramas. Luckily, filmmakers are dedicating themselves to these projects to make them not-so campy or dumbed down.

Enough and the concept of Finality

You know I never really thought of the word "enough" as much of anything, whether it be in life or in art. It was just a word, something to throw in the beginning or end of a sentence. "Enough, okay?" "I think you're good enough." I mean, everyone says it. And for most people, and the way it is commonly used, enough is essentially approval. Saying someone is good enough means they can get the job done. Saying someone is bad enough means they cannot.

However today I came to realize something about "enough," while in a devotional/ discussion. The word came up and while we were discussing, we were talking about being more than enough and that enough is actually something we base ourselves off of. I realized that it was more than that. It was not only a base, but it was a stopping point.

Original Sin #3 Review

I've never reviewed a comic before, because, I mean, it's a comic book, I always thought it would be better to review like the entire arc or something. But this one book was such a big game-changer for me that I feel I have to talk about it.

First, let me say that I've always been waiting for a "wow" factor from comic books. I always see all these stories that have such a big impact and that always have these twists and turns, but I have yet to come across one. That, or it gets spoiled for me before I read it. With this book, I got my first big twist and boy was it a big one. Nobody saw it coming, because it was downplayed so well. But like any great twist, it makes perfect sense.

The Devil's Laugh--A Short Story

            “Then it’s settled,” Sheriff Cole announced. “Tomorrow at dawn this man is to be hanged for murder of his brother and the rape of his sister.”

            Mitch didn’t even bother to look the sheriff in the eye at this point. The trial was—what—two hours long and full of lies. The only time Mitch had ever raised a hand to his brother was when they were children, but now that they were full-grown adults, the thought had never crossed Mitch’s mind. And to violate his sister-in-law was absurd. It was despicable.

Top 10 Arrow Episodes (through Season 2)

Now that the CW's Arrow is really behind us, and we look forward to a pretty dull summer TV schedule, it's time to look back properly and with a very clear mind on what the fantastic super-hero drama action has brought us the past two seasons. There are 46 episodes to choose from, some not so great. But what's the fun in focusing on those? Today we are here to discuss my top ten favorite episodes of Arrow, each filled with great dosages of drama, action, and not failing the city.

Spoilers, duh, by the way
