I read the second volume of Sandman last week and let me tell you, it was really good. Whereas the first volume was a series of stories loosely connected by Morpheus's plight, volume 2 told one long story (well, there was one off-topic story, but I really liked that one too). It also tied in with one of the human characters from volume 1 (Unity Kinkaid) and introduced more of the Endless, Desire in particular. That one will make more trouble down the line, mark my words.

Destiny is all the rage these days. I know we have a number of folks here on Pixlbit who are playing it. My wife was particularly intrigued and so we picked it up from Redbox tonight to see what it was like. And it seems like a really cool game. Very pretty, even on old hardware (PS3 in this case), and the feel of the gameplay is really good. But for our situation there is one glaring flaw: NO LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. Perhaps this wrinkle was common knowledge but neither of us had heard about it and surely the folks at Bungie threw in all the options. After all, their Halo games support local, LAN, and online multiplayer. Why should Destiny be different?

Or at least that's what the Los Angeles Times Magazine called it. Anybody know what I'm talking about? That's right! The Sandman! As in, the comic series by Neil Gaiman. I've read only the first volume so far and it is pretty much what everybody said. It was interesting and sets a great foundation for the series but wasn't particularly amazing. I tell you what, though, I have no idea where this is going to go and since it's about the King of Dreams, I guess it can go anywhere. And I'm really looking forward to it too! Now to start the second volume...

When I read Watchmen I thought that it would be difficult to turn it into a movie. There are so many characters and so much backstory. When the movie did come out, I remember there was a very polarized response to it, both among critics and fans. Now that I've read the book and seen the movie, I'm rather divided myself.
