Disclaimer: Be warned, there is heavy nerd content to be read ahead. I try to not lose you in the lingo being thrown around. If you’ve played roleplaying videogames, then you should be able to understand what I’m talking about. If you’re familiar with D&D, you should be able to follow all of it very easily. If you don’t fall into those two categories, I hope I don’t lose you in the next few paragraphs.

Mace Lives Mace Windu The beret is considered canon. Now normally we here at Rocket Llama try to shy away from complete nerdy ramblings, but seeing as it’s Star Wars week and us Star Wars nerds love to ramble about such things, I couldn’t resist this one.

No this isn’t just another article where some nerd bashes on Spider-Man 3. I liked Spider-Man 3. It seems like nerds just let one stupid dance ruin the whole film. Personally, I loved it.

Little by little, the website is changing. A month ago, our homepage was just the cover image for Rocket Llama #112 and a small paragraph explaining who and what Rocket Llama is. Now we’re more than halfway through with #136, we have tons of articles, and some other strange goodies.
