Nerding Out Loud

Captain America: The First Avenger I have long been a fan of Captain America. I admire his unselfish patriotism and his desire to always serve others. He is a perfect example of a great comic book hero. Photo by Duren Williams on Pexels.com Having said that, I have never seen the Captain America line of movies. So, I took it upon myself to watch “Captain America: The First Avenger” last…

Comic Books: My New Passion When I was younger, I wanted to be a cartoonist. I loved watching “The Superfriends” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” I imagined myself creating stories and art like this for other people. My local area didn’t have a comic bookstore, so I couldn’t have access to the stories like I would have liked. Recently, I started back drawing. I was quickly getting deep…

Click HERE to watch my video about why we need a great villain. It is safe to say that Batman has one of the greatest villains in all of comic books. The Joker is the greatest villain possibly in all of entertainment history. Photo by Terrance…

Up, Up, and Away! This guy always seems to show up at the time where he is needed. He’s been called…The Man of Steel, The Big Blue Boy Scout, and many others. This is Superman! Photo by Helena Lopes on Pexels.com Superman is my favorite superhero. It always amazes me how someone with amazing power uses that power help others in need. Superman’s origins trace back to Krypton when he was…

Video Game Movies Legit? For many years, video game movies got a bad reputation. However, with the recent Sonic the Hedgehog movies as well as the first Super Mario Bros movie, video game movie adaptations are gaining a bit of respect. Does this recent Mario Bros movie from Nintendo follow through with that momentum? Let’s see! Super Mario Galaxy Review! Photo by Pixabay on…

2026 Power Comicon! March 14 was a date I had on the calendar for a while now. I was excited to get to my second comic con. And it was almost as good as my first experience. Below are some pictures from my day. Picture of me with Eddie Deezen, voice of Mandark from Dexter’s Laboratory. The Incredible Hulk! Picture featuring Karen Whitfield, the Bronze Age Batgirl. Personal Highlights from…

It’s Mario Day! Check out the video below of gameplay of the 1st level of the Super Mario Bros game. What can you say about Mario?! Plumber Spaghetti Lover Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom Nintendo Mascot VIDEO GAME ICON Most importantly, he is a video game icon. Many people were introduced to Mario through the original Nintendo Entertainment System. This includes me. I have fond memories…

Cartoons, Cartoons, CARTOONS! I still remember being glued to the television on Saturday mornings.

I could go on and on with even more cartoons. Cartoons are not just for Saturday mornings… I am also fond of the Boomerang and Cartoon…

Living Between The Lines I have shared this story previously on the blog. However, I don’t mind sharing this again. I became a Christian at a very young age. So, I spent a lot of time in church growing up. When I was not at church, I was home. Home was a place of peace for me because I was an introvert. While I enjoyed church as a youth, it was draining me. My real fortress of solitude…

Growing Up…As A Nerd and Christian! Safe to say, I am a weird person. When age comes, you mostly come to embrace the depths of who you really are. However, when you are young, it’s difficult to deal with. The average young person wants to be embraced by his/her peers. When I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, being a nerd meant you were outcast. You were labeled a socially awkward…

Metroid and Me! The video shows my gameplay of Metroid. Metroid is a classic NES gaming title. I may be the only one that has never defeated this game…LOL. I thought I would go back and explore this title. Decades later, this title still holds up. It makes me think of how powerful retro gaming is. Revisiting games from the Atari, 8-bit, 16-bit, or even 64-bit eras can be a blast. Below, I…

Critics Are Everywhere… Thanks to social media, critics are louder than ever. And everyone is a judge. While there is nothing wrong with social media per se, most social media users have a way of making people feel inferior. This can make it difficult for people to enjoy their fandoms in peace. That is especially true with reference to anime. As a fan of anime, I have often heard it said…

My Comic Books Hobby A few months ago, I went into a local comic bookstore. I was OVERWHELMED! When I say overwhelmed, I mean that in a good way. Spiderman, Batman, Captain American, Image Comics, Star Wars, and everything in between as far as the eyes can see. Watch the video below to see what I picked up from that trip! I was looking to get back into reading comics again. A few comic…
