Posted on May 9th, 2012 | By: Bert Ehrmann

Wow! Wolfenstein 3D is 20 years old this year! I remember getting the first levels as shareware and playing them over and over again on our Windows 3.0 PC

And in celebration of 20 years of Wolfenstein 3D Bethesda Software has ported Wolfenstein over to a version that can be played in the browser.

I wrote this about Wolfenstein back in ’01 and it still holds true today.

From Amazon:

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Mars Attacks, this comprehensive book is the first-ever compilation of the infamous science-fiction trading card series produced by Topps in 1962.

A Thoroughly Modern Sherlock

Posted on May 4th, 2012 | By: Bert Ehrmann

It’s almost impossible to successfully update a beloved character/story to modern times and not end up upsetting someone. If those doing the updating go to far in changing things then the character/story will be practically unrecognizable, so why not just do something new rather than the update something old? But if they don’t go far enough and leave the character/story mostly as-is then why update in the first place?

Now, for the first time ever, artist Ron Miller shares a ton of the concept art he created for Cronenberg’s version… including a very different-looking version of the mutant leader, Kuato.

The Amazing Spider-Man Poster

I think this poster for the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man movie is pretty clever. When displayed at a theater, I think it would give the illusion of Spider-Man crashing through the back of the poster frame and into the theater lobby.
