Links Post Number 63 - Special Theme - Opinions
As I trawl through the internet, I discover a lot of things that intrigue me, and a lot that anger me. These links are opinion pieces on these things, and I generally find myself either agreeing with them or at least thinking they have an interesting point to make. In no particular order...

The Avengers
Went to see it, and it was a cool flick and very entertaining. Not sure whether I'd go for the "it was the bestest superhero film ever!!!!" rhetoric that I'm seeing in some places, but it was solid and had some nice humorous moments.

I am a geek of many faces. A geek about many tv shows, a comic book geek, a board game geek, and a computer game geek as well. I've been playing computer games since I was a child and we got a Commodore 128 that could be used to play Commodore 64 games as well.
