“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Friday T&A: Baby got bass Edition

I dunno about y’all, but I’ve never quite been into fishing. It’s not just that I dislike the smell of fish (though I do). It’s just that I’ve never really understood the point of waking up at like 4am on a cold day to go to the nearest...

Grass-fed shitlordery

The ones you love to hate

Every disciple of the steel has a pet peeve about the asshats that populate the shrine of the Lord of Iron, our God. If you have ever lifted hard and heavy, then you will recognise these stereotypes immediately: Not, I admit, the best of videos on the subject- Brother...

The crossover we need

What happens when the funniest TV show spoof about spies runs headfirst in to the best comical take on spy movies in recent memory? Well… this: I have to say, I’m really looking forward to the new Kingsman film. The first one completely blew past...

Where’s my hammer?!

Courtesy of Vox Day, I came across something that indicates that there might just be some hope for the American yoof after all: That last line there caught my eye. Apparently some epic shitlord has actually crafted a T-shirt with that exact slogan on it. I just...
