COURT OF OWLS is a seminal Batman title. And I’d never read it until now. Shame on me, because it’s fantastic. The owls start as a myth to Batman and ultimately manifest as something terrifying to both him and the reader. They literally twist the wor ...more

All throughout PREY, the walls close in on Batman. The police, the media, new villains—everyone’s hunting him, turning the predator into, well, the prey. It’s a gripping story and a lot of fun, even if parts of it (Catherine’s “outfit” for most of th ...more

I loved this short, sweet little book. It’s got every cute romance trope I enjoy, and it doesn’t have the one I hate the most: the big misunderstanding that forces the couple apart, always temporarily, before they get together in the end. Those misun ...more

“items. While Monster Hunter included a single-player mode, its appeal was its online play. The five-man crew who had worked with Capcom thought some the game's networking code looked awfully familiar. "Same network infrastructure, same style of gameplay [as the PS2 Diablo title]," Joe Morrissey said. [Return to Chapter]”

“Unfortunately, calculating square roots was not the Atari 2600’s strong suit.”
David L. Craddock, Arcade Perfect: How Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, and Other Coin-Op Classics Invaded the Living Room

“In 1976, Bill Joy, the hacker who would lead development of BSD UNIX, wrote a text editor called vi, short for "visual," that allowed users to move their cursor and edit text anywhere on the screen.”
