... Blog World?  Today's book review is for a humorous little title called Mogworld.  It's by Yahtzee Croshaw of "The Escapist" online magazine, whom I've mentioned in previous posts on this blog.  A pretty good novel, all things considered, but not one I'd probably read more than just the once.  It's an older review from my moldering notes, so it's done in my "what I liked/what I didn't like/what I learned/why you should care/why is the sky blue"-type of format.  So there you go.

Speaking of video game-related humor, anyone remember sprite comics?  It's where some clever soul takes the images from a video game (usually an older system - the old NES - "Nintendo Entertainment System" for those of you too young to understand what an "NES" is - was especially popular) and marries them to some clever dialogue?  It's so last decade, as the kids say.  But the one above, 8-Bit Theater, is one I used to read regularly.  It's cleverer than clever, for the most part.  See the link here if you want to read more.  The series has been complete for years now, so you won't have to slog through 85% of the story and then be stuck in limbo from week to week 'til the thing finally crawls to its conclusion.  Like getting in on a popular cable TV series and then having to put up with the bogus later seasons that are being made now.  The Walking Dead, I'm looking your way here.
