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

Someday, the parodies of Adolf Hitler completelylosing his sh*t will cease to be hilarious. This is still not that day. Wow. Who knew that Der Fuhrer was such a rabid Rousey fanboy? Or that MMA was a thing back during the final hours of the siege of Berlin, eh?...

That was quite a statement

This one is for a certain reader who had the very sad misfortune of celebrating his birthday the other day while laid up in bed with a horrible cold. He’s a big fan of this band- or at least, of its drummer. And with very good reason: I saw them play live...

No school like the old school

GRAVE DIGGER shows us why there is nothing quite as awesome as straight-up 80s power metal: I saw these guys play live opening for BLIND GUARDIAN (!!!!!!!!!!!) the other night. They absolutely KILLED. And they were just the opening act. What followed was...
