Rule 5 Sunday: Crossing The Streams

— compiled by Wombat-socho One of the cool things about SF fandom is the tradition of fan art, where amateur artists took the characters from Sf stories and drew/painted pictures of them, sometimes in the original context, and sometimes…not.

Rule 5 Sunday: Jodie Comer

— compiled by Wombat-socho So at first I was going to do another Scarlett Johansson post, because she’s been in the news lately after suing the Evil Mouse for schlonging her over the Black Widow release and costing her a few million bucks, but then I decided otherwise.* See, there’s this Ryan Reynolds flick Free […]

Rule 5 Sunday: 2D > 3D?

— compiled by Wombat-socho This almost became Rule 5 Monday because I lost track of time playing Hearts Of Iron IV, but I got hungry, looked at my watch and realized to my surprise that it was almost 10:30 and I hadn’t eaten since 3.
