ROCKtober review - The Pretty Reckless
As a kid born in the mid 70's, I am almost 100% sure that all the good music came out either before I was born or else in that magical time between "Appetite For Destruction" and "Jagged Little Pill" when everything was awesome. There are, however, a few bands that prove the exception. My current favourite is a groovy little rock band that call themselves The Pretty Reckless.
The Pretty Reckless is a simple rock n' roll band with lots of guitars, a hot 18 year old lead singer and an album called "Light Me Up". I was all set to hate them but it turns out they actually sound good! Not only that, but there's a story here...find out more after the jump (one pic maybe NSFW)!

Avengers Assemble!
Yeah, it's not a creative title. Sorry
Let me make it up to you. Click on the pic of Captain America below, and you can see the brand new trailer released this morning for the upcoming Avengers movie. Sadly, I couldn't just embed it on the page.
It is very awesome. That is all. Enjoy.

Yardsailing: Can You Name These Action Figures?
I am a chronic Yardsailor. I'll usually visit a few yard sales each weekend (via BOAT!) (not really) (I wish), looking for board games, action figures, Lego, bad art, and anything else to clutter up my already cluttered home. This past weekend was a bust, with the exception of 2 bags of action figures. They cost $1 each, and were made up of some recognizable, but mystery figures.
Click through the jump to see what I bought, and join in on the comments to tell me what they actually are, and if I wasted my two bucks.

Knife Gun
Have you ever been torn between choosing a knife or a gun?
Well my friends this dilemma has been solved thanks to the knife gun.
(I'm now more afraid of people with knives)

ROCKTOBER: Santana Shreds! (plus Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Iron Maiden and more)
Inspired by Jacinta's BadLipReading post, I thought I would share some of my favorite "Shreds" videos.
If you haven't seen a Shreds video before, they are basically live band performance videos with the audio recreated to make the band sound terrible. The videos were originally created by YouTube user STSanders, until he was banned and then the copycats took over. Luckily, many of his videos have been reposted over the years and made their way back up to a million hits.
Here is the one that started it all for me.. followed by some of STSanders best, and one from the new wave of Shreds videos.

Signs You're Giving Superheroes A Bad Name
A) Your name is Dan Didio. (That's a joke. Mostly.)
B) You're this guy:
That, in an image I pulled from the Huffington Post, is Phoenix Jones; one of the real-life "superhero" protectors of Seattle, Washington. This past weekend, he was arrested for assault outside of a nightclub. More details after the jump.

Dreadfleet Update 2! Lots More Pirate Painting...
This is a follow up to my previous post about swashbuckling, seafaring, fantasy-pirate-battling miniature wargame Dreadfleet, which I bought three days ago and feel like I've been assembling and painting ever since. As I said before, I am completely new to this type of game - in fact, I still have zero idea how to play it - and this is my very first time painting miniatures, so the learning curve is extremely steep. So, because it's such a massive project, I thought it might be fun to share my progress as I go.
Such as this new picture of my updated Black Kraken!...
To see many more completed ships and scenic elements, join me after the jump! I have seven ships done with just three to go!...
