Death Knights, Dark Knights, and Time Travel

Alex Langley | August 29, 2008

Braid has hit the virtual shelves recently and I have to say that I am quite impressed with the little shindig. It’s like if the Prince of Persia and Super Mario had a son, and that kid liked to do puzzles on the train ride commuting to class at Harvard. It is a cerebral and [...]

D&D and Separation Anxiety Part 3: Pathfinder vs. 4th Edition

Nick | August 28, 2008

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.

The Sell-outening

The Sell-out-ening:
George Lucas’ fall to the Dark Side

George Lucas
The original Star Wars trilogy is a brilliant work; A masterpiece of storytelling. Identifiable characters, classic story ideas, and groundbreaking special effects all go hand in hand to make one of the most powerful motion picture trilogies of all time.
The prequel trilogy is…. Less than impressive. The [...]

Mace Lives

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.
In my previous article I discussed prequel badass Mace Windu. In it, [...]

BAMFS in the Star Wars Universe

Here we go! Today I will be discussing some of the most BAMF’in’ characters in the Star Wars Universe. LET’S DO THIS THING.

Darth Maul
Again following the big bad villain mantra of less is more, this smooth operator only speaks a smattering of sentences, but his presence, his weaponry and his [...]

Star Wars Rising

Alex Langley | August 19, 2008

Today we see the release of the first new Star Wars theatrical movie since the last Star Wars theatrical movie. Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Spider-Manic Depression Part 1

Nick | August 14, 2008

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.

Our Evolution

Nick | August 11, 2008

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.

Comic-Con 2008: Closing Thoughts

Alex Langley | August 9, 2008

As I reflect back on everything I saw and smelled at Comic-Con, I am forced to draw the undeniable conclusion that many would find shocking.

Comic-Con isn’t just about comics. A pretty good chunk of it is about other crap.
