What The Walking Dead Got Wrong

October 24, 2016 by David W. Wright

(Image copyright: AMC) [SPOILERS FOR LAST NIGHT’S THE WALKING DEAD] So, The Walking Dead returned last night with its much-anticipated season premiere which promised to answer the question: Who did Negan kill? As you surely recall, Season Six ended with a cliffhanger that (to put things lightly) didn’t go over well with fans. The show spent all season teasing one of the comic’s most memorable and shocking moments, the death of Glenn at the end of issue 100, and ended with … […]

EVERYTHING Needs a Warning Label!!!!!!!!!!!!

December 19, 2015 by David W. Wright

A Russian man claimed that Fallout 4 is “too addictive” and thus destroyed his job and marriage, AND the game should come with a warning label. He is suing Bethesda and a Russian company for his “emotional distress.” According to the article: He regularly skipped work, which resulted in his employers firing him. He stopped meeting up and speaking with friends, and his wife left him. His health also started to deteriorate as he was not sleeping or eating. “If I […]

The Walking Dave 11: The Worst Thing You Can Do As a Writer Today

May 7, 2014 by David W. Wright

Hi! This post was supposed to run on Monday, but I wound up holding onto it for a day or so to see if I still wanted to post it. Why would I hold it? Well, it’s kind of negative. I know, big surprise. But I try to keep these podcasts positive, because despite my now famous curmudgeonry, when it comes to creativity, I’m actually a rather positive person who hates when cynicism infects art. This post was inspired by some […]

Top 10 Ways My Cat is an Asshole

March 17, 2014 by David W. Wright

Before I start this post, first let me say, I like cats … at least in the abstract. They’re cute, they don’t lick you all the time with their stupid germs like certain canines (and don’t even send me a letter about dogs or cats having clean tongues — they lick their butts, how clean can they be?), and they’re good companions who don’t (usually) demand much care or attention. When it comes to pets, cats are probably the least […]

When Trailers Go Too Far

May 14, 2013 by David W. Wright

I love trailers! Whether they be movie, TV, or video game trailers, I love watching them… except when they go too far. A good trailer teases you, gets you excited for the upcoming movie, show, or game, and creates a sense of curiosity, anticipation, and gets in your head. In my next post, I’m going to feature some of my favorite trailers. But in this post, I want to talk about when trailers go too far — specifically, when they […]

Fun With Fast Food: Bagel Edition

April 10, 2013 by David W. Wright

So, I’ve been wondering what to do with this blog space for a while, and I’ve made up my mind. Over the past few years, I’ve been trying to segregate all of my different interests across several websites and blogs. At one point or another I’ve had: a humorous daddy blog a comics blog where I drew comic strips a book blog God knows how many “I’m going to lose weight. No, really, I mean it this time” blogs. and […]

Finger Lickers!

February 26, 2013 by David W. Wright

I suppose I should mention right up front that I’ve got OCD and am quite germ-phobic. So, maybe I’m a bit hypersensitive to such things, but I can’t help but notice a trend at the grocery store I go to. It seems that the cashiers enjoy spreading germs all over everything I buy. OK, maybe they don’t enjoy it, hell, they probably hardly even notice what they’re doing. But I can’t help but notice that some of the cashiers have […]

Dexter: A love gone sour?

December 1, 2011 by David W. Wright

(note: There’s no spoilers in this post, to make it safe for people who are not yet caught up on this season’s Dexter.) I used to love you, Dexter. You were the date I couldn’t wait for each week. I’d look forward to the ways you’d thrill me, surprise me, and leave me hanging, and waiting until next time. You were new, fresh, and full of surprises. Some would say you lost your steam after the whole Trinity storyline. But […]
