  1. Doktor Sleepless #11, Gravel #7 and Vixen: Return of the Lion #4 are three of the six comics reviewed this week. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/c/iiwy/iiwy-074
  2. I've mentioned before that when it comes to horror in video games, it doesn't take a whole lot to scare me. I'm the kind of gamer who'll enter every room with my gun raised, glancing around every corner, making sure to scope the room out for places I can run to in case an ambush happens. So when I first popped in Dead Space, I was kind of surprised to find myself coasting through it with nary a worry. Sure, the game offers a few good "boo" moments, but I never really felt concerned about my survival, nor was I ever discomforted by the happenings around me. And yet, despite the lack of scares, I still feel like Dead Space is one of the best horror titles I've played in ages. The mechanics are so solid, and the atmosphere is so great, that I found myself overlooking its flaws. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/v/dead-space
  3. Delusional teenagers are tricked into helping an insane video game producer ("Sentries of the Last Cosmos"). Terry tries to give a wayward buddy a second chance ("Big Time"). Someone is using a high-tech bio-containment suit to wreak havoc ("Untouchable"). Bruce searches for Terry deep in the Gotham subways ("Where's Terry?"). And then Ace gets a bit of revenge on his former tormentor ("Ace in the Hole"). [ 1:28:40 || 4037 MB ] The above is from: http://www.worldsfinestpodcast.com/episodes/wfp_046.mp3

  9. I have a lot of admiration for people who make fan films. It takes a special group of people with dedication and a real love for a property to complete any project. With Star Trek: Phase II, however, James Cawley makes everyone else look like slackers. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/m/star-trek-phase-II
  10. Four of the eight reviews this week are Doctor Who: The Forgotten #5, Fantastic Four #562, The Goon #31 and Incognito #1. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/c/iiwy/iiwy-073

  14. Returning to the regular format, Ian and Adham end their review of The Man with the Golden Gun with a personal anecdote, having identified which characters impressed and which characters were so offensive that one presenter dropped the C-bomb. Hear the slightly edited results and much more, including Ian's inferiority complex regarding the popularity of his brother's one-off appearance, and why Nick Nack makes Adham think of R. Kelly.

    Episode 71

    In this episode of Dread Media, Darryll stops by to review two realistic nail-biters: the adaptation of his novel Red, and a cinema verite creeper by the name of Home Movie. Hear some talk about the past year and the year to come as far as Dread Media is concerned, two in-depth reviews and tunes galore: "Seeing Red" by Killing Joke, "Revenge" by Black Flag, "Family" by John Zorn and "Whenever We Come Back" by Breaking the Jar.

  18. In the two weeks since the last episode of Bigger on the Inside aired, there have been some major happenings in the world of Doctor Who. Not only has the Christmas special "The Next Doctor" aired in the UK, but the BBC has revealed the identity of the actor who'll play the 11th Doctor starting in 2010! Beyond that, the guys review the six-part serial "The Keys of Marinus," and Mike has a theory about Professor River Song.

    Episode 70

    In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick celebrates the return of Darryll as they ring in the New Year with two bikersploitation flicks. Desmond and Darryll gush over Stone, the lost classic Australian biker epic. Then they deride the less-than-classic non-film Hell Ride. (Why do some great directors only ever make one film, and then Quentin Tarantino goes and puts his name on any old thing?) Some rockin' road tunes for you this week: "Stone Cold Crazy" by Metallica, "Riders of Doom" by Crom, "Hellrider" by Judas Priest and "Road Rats" by Alice Cooper. Happy New Year!

  21. In the first half of this piece, we touched upon some bizarre stuff, but now we're about to cross the International Date Line of Weirdness. These are games that were harvested in the weirdness capital of the world: Japan. They have never been officially released in North America, and likely never will. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/columns/dw/weirdest-games-02
  22. Having covered the 1966 and 1989 Batman films, James, Ian and Mike are back to discuss the next movie in the Batman franchise: Batman Returns! Steady yourself for three hours of girlish giggling, historical references and potential head trauma. Oh, and there's a movie review mixed in there, too.

  24. Can you guess which of the following comics Des and Mike vehemently disagreed on? One look at the list should give you a big hint: DMZ #37, Final Crisis #5, Invincible #56, Secret Invasion: Dark Reign and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #1.

    Episode 69

    In this episode of Dread Media, Desmond Reddick (with a red nose for other reasons) reviews Elves, the cheesy Christmas horror classic. Then he reviews several new indie comics: City of Dust #3, Nyarlathotep and Remnant #1. DW stops by to discuss Fatal Frame in Brainscan. Desmond talks about snow, hamsters and being right about Rob Zombie all in a whiskey-fueled episode featuring the following Yuletide terror tunes: "It Snows in Hell" by Lordi, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" by The Browns, "Cold Blooded Christmas" by Jon Lavoie, "There Ain't No Sanity Clause" by The Damned and "Christmas Sucks" by Tom Waits and Peter Murphy.
