Batwoman: Elegy is a story that takes place not long after the one-year absence of three incredibly iconic heroes: Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman.

Well, what is left of the place... But how about I start at the beginning and go from there.

Well, it all started when Kyle woke up angry… Except, angry doesn’t even cover it! He was full-on pissed. My room got trashed as he threw about the lamps, the bedside tables and, all the drawers from the dresser at me.

Desert Bus for Hope, GeekCrafts, and Fangirling, Oh My!

Well, we're approaching that time of year again.

The time of year when we reflect on the important things in life, like nerdy friends, time off from work or school, and all those awesome games and books we want. The time of year when we really enter into the spirit of giving, and of forcing minor internet celebrities to dance to our every whim in order to raise money for children's hospitals.

 

That's right, it's time for Desert Bus.

Desert Bus for Hope is an annual gaming marathon run by the internet comedy group LoadingReadyRun, and it
