I now have a page, under About, which lists my progress toward relaunching the site. Once that first header is clear, the next Monday will see posts resuming. I am currently targeting the end of the year for the relaunch.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fractured Alliances
Knights of the Eternal Throne landed with a thud. How did Star Wars: The Old Republic pick itself up afterward?
Marvel Comics: The Pre-War Years (1939-1941), Part 4: Wrap-Up
Marvel on Film: Intro and 2000-2007 (X-Men, Spider-Man, Daredevil/Elektra)
I have fallen behind on Marvel’s movies, not seeing any since the pandemic (and I had missed Ant-Man and the Wasp even before then). Now, I am going to start a rewatch/catch-up project.
Marvel Comics: The Pre-War Years (1939-1941), Part 3B: More Heroes, I-Z
intro
The Adventure of Link: Into the East
Link visits two dungeons on the west side of the sea, then two towns on the east side.
The Adventure of Link: Death Mountain
Parapa was fairly easy, but the Death Mountain quest is where the game shows its true self.
Star Wars: The Old Republic – Knights of the Eternal Throne
Knights of the Fallen Empire ultimately made some good moves and some bad ones. I think it could have gone either way with how it’s remembered, but the followup expansion seemed like nothing but bad decisions and cemented the single-player story era as a low point in the game’s history.
The Adventure of Link: Parapa Palace
Link’s quest begins.
Marvel Comics: The Pre-War Years (1939-1941), Part 3A: More Heroes, A-H
While Captain America, the Human Torch, Namor, the Angel, and the Young Allies were Marvel’s early stars, the anthology comics had lots of space to fill, and a bunch of colorful characters filled them. For the next two posts, I’ll be looking at the heroes who made more than one appearance in the Golden Age, excluding comedic characters like Officer O’Krime and Tubby an’ Tack. Even still, it’s a long list.
