Rant and Bollox

Couldn't be worse than Origins right?...RIGHT?! One of us started off believing in it...but it kind of turns into a dull mess. There's hope for Logan if they continue improving though. Third times the charm?

Anyway, it's uneven, but that train fight is pretty great. Enjoy...or don't. We had a drink to get through it!

Between some cool tech on the horizon, Logan excitement, Nightwing, and immersive war games, we still manage to complain about kids today and the impact of social media and phones.
