The Joy and Frustration with Buying local.

Category: Books and Stories

So a be comic book shop is now open in my local town. Well I say it sells comics but it really is focused on card and board gaming and comics are a thing they do on a side. So issue I am having is that even though it is great to buy local the guy who runs the shop told me he would message me whenever my comics are and of course he forgot to do so.  Not a big deal at the moment because none of the ... » Continue Reading

Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

Well after a massive out cry form Star Trek fans across the world it looks like we got a win....kinda. So for those who don't know Netflix was meant to show star trek Discovery outside of the US but Paramount pulled it two days before it was meant to debut and said it won't debut outside of the US until 2022 about 3-6 months after the US depending on your region. This resulted in a large amount of... » Continue Reading

British wrestling on British TV. What an idea!!

Category: Sports

I watched a show at 11pm on Monday on a new channel called Ayozat TV.  It was a weekly show for PCW a wrestling promotion here in the UK. The show itself was three matches all of good quality.

Secondly there was no sto... » Continue Reading

Previously in sync with each other and about 5-7 days after US release but atm they are ou... » Continue Reading
