 | My reading material at the moment is Daniel Dennett’s book on evolution – Darwin’s Dangerous Idea. It’s a fantastic book dealing with both the philosophical and scientific aspects of Darwinism a... |

 | Sorry to be throwing you another curve-bolt this week. But I’ve ended up chaining two reviews back to back because I delayed by Dungeon Command review for too long. Apologies - you’ll get some dedica... |

 | I hate Jane Austin. I hate her maudlin melodramatic crap. I hate her stories of women whose sole ambition is to marry a rich douche bag. I hate tales of the English class system. The tribulations caused ... |

 | Star Wars is cool again.
On the Table
X-wing it is. Full review. It’s definitely in the competition for best of 2012. I’m glad I took a chance on it and listened to instinct rather than that ... |
