HBO's Looking: Now That It's Gone

It's been quite some time since Looking wrapped up its second season, and it's no news that the series has been canceled. The show was far from the greatest, but I can't help but feel a slight emptiness now that it is gone. There was just something so great about it. The fact that a show such as this existed was enough to keep me watching week after week, regardless of how I felt about certain plot points.

To Cosplay, or Not to Cosplay?

I've been thinking about cosplay for a while. A couple of years, in fact. I've always been fascinated by it, as it serves as one of the greatest ways to honor something you love. Cosplayers are inspiring, and the community itself is one of warmth, love, diversity, and acceptance. People from all manner of backgrounds come together to celebrate their mutual love of the art form. Whether it's comic books, sci-fi, anime, or cartoons. Cosplayers are always there to represent.

With so much love for cosplay, how could I not want to join in on the fun? And so...

I have a list of top contenders, and Korra is definitely on there. Her outfit, seen here in Book 4 of the series, was one of my absolute favorites on the show. She was always dressed as if ready for battle, which is part of what I loved about her character. Her style is comfortable and highly flexible to any situation. And those boots! I have a thing about boots. I could wear them all day, every day. Slap on those arm guards and I would look pretty damn cool, if I do say so myself.

So who knows when I'll actually finish putting this together, but I'm adding it to my list of things to do. Woot!

Throwback: Kingdoms of Amalur

Whenever I get bored of today's video games, I jump back to one of my favorites. This time, it's Kingdoms of Amalur, one of the best RPG games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Why this game never got the recognition it deserved is a crime in itself. From the moment I started playing a few years back, I knew I had stumbled on an instant treasure.
