WHY HEATH LEDGER’S JOKER WAS THE HERO IN THE DARK KNIGHT
I’ve been seeing a lot of articles lately with headlines like “Why Heath Ledger’s Joker Will Never Be Matched”. I was going to do a take down of that for several reasons; he’s largely a product of a post-9/11 world that will eventually move on from that mindset, The Arkham game portrayals are better really, etc. But while I was mulling over that listicle I really sat down and deconstructed The Dar...[Read More]
The things that keep my hopes for humanity alive!
Okay, even I admit that my first few articles on the Digital Crack Network have been downers, angst –ridden bile spewed by what many current gamers would call an old dude.

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Review
Objectivity, reviewing films is a difficult thing. It’s a subjective medium. Just because you love a particular genre and are willing to overlook flaws or problematic aspects doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good or bad. Star Wars holds a special place in people’s hearts. It’s a safe place. We know the characters, we know the worlds, we grew up with them. After the bitte...[Read More]
