Since I’m embedding youtube links I don’t think that the Wassup parodies will ever get old for me, this one is particularly [...]

One of the aspects of the Iron Man character that I quite like is the evolution of the armour.  To be completely honest I probably prefer what is known in some circles as the ‘classic armour’ that appeared throughout the 80s, even over the movie version (although I don’t think that classic armour would’ve worked [...]

I liked him long before you people!
Before you guys start waving various protestations at me, when I say you people I don’t mean YOU people, I’m talking about the general public.
I know people say this all the time, I liked “blah blah” before everyone else made it popular but I really stuck with the Iron [...]
