Playing, Reading, Watching

June 4, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

I should really be writing A Dragon at the Gate at the moment. That’s what I sat down here to do. Yet it’s been a long day, my brain is frazzled, and so it’s revolting and craving leisure. So in an attempt to placate my lazy-ass brain while at the same time at least appearing to get something done, I’m going to take a cue from the Geek Bomb podcast folks (who were good enough to have me on their show last fall) and geek out with you a little over what I’m playing, reading, and watching.

Iron ThroneSorry the blog’s been a bit quiet this week, everyone. I’ve been busy at Norwescon reading from Zeus Is Dead and appearing on panels. (Sometimes I actually speak while I’m on them, even!) Also, I passed George R. R. Martin in the hallway and survived.

I hope to have something more interesting for you here soon, including the next installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse…

Just some goofy/geeky stuff…

July 20, 2014 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

So I’ve got a full, full plate today getting ready for the big launch of Zeus Is Dead tomorrow, but I wanted to take a break from that and put up a few things that are completely unrelated. So here’s some stuff that, in my current mental state, I found amusing…

Truer words were never spoken.
…I think.

Top 5 List: Potentially Awesome Crossovers

May 6, 2014 By Michael G. Munz 5 Comments

Ooh, isn't that all fancy? Well? Isn't it?

Ooh, isn’t that all fancy?
Well? Isn’t it?

And the Earth has once again completed the number of rotations (divided by the amount of coffee I’ve had, multiplied by the Coefficient of Arbitrary Timing) required to bring you another geek-related Top 5 List! This time, there’s even an official-ish fancy logo over there on the right. Go ahead. Gaze upon it! …Okay, now come back over here.

Another difference this week: this one’s a little more visual than the others. Why? Basically I got an idea that made me grin, I pulled up Photoshop, and I couldn’t quite stop myself. (I’m far from a Photoshop expert, but I know enough to have fun. Click to embiggen most of them!) That’s right, today I present to you:

Top Five Potentially Awesome Crossovers

Obviously, these are only hypothetical. If any of these ever occurred in any official fashion, pigs are flying through a frozen-over hell. So without further ado, and in no particular order, we begin with… [Read more…]

Julian Glover: Super-Actor!

April 28, 2014 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

So I just realized that…

…General Veers from The Empire Strikes Back…

…Walter Donovan from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade…

…and…

…Maester Pycelle from Game of Thrones…

…are all played by the same guy:

Actor Julian Glover

Oh, and Jek Porkins was played by one of the government guys from the beginning of Raiders of the Last Ark, and Admiral Ozzel was played by Adolf Hitler.

But you probably already knew that.
