Happy Halloween, geeks and geekettes! Sure, can anything really be scarier than the reality in which we all find ourselves, currently in the Unmentionable Time?

THE BIBLE OF ‘BOND, JAMES BOND’ [Career Reflection]: R.I.P. Sean Connery (1930-2020).

Contrary to popular belief, Sean Connery is not the first actor to play James Bond. From October 1954 and June 1958, CBS aired a dramatic anthology series called Climax!

G.I. JOE – OPERATION BLACKOUT [Review]: Playing Is Half The Battle.

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is just not a good game. In fact, it's a terrible one. It's essentially "Fortlite" with some horrible game mechanics, early PS3 graphics, and downright bad voice acting.
