A New Horizon.

Good morning, how are you today?  I have been bouncing around in a maze of strange changes.  One of the biggest adjustments comes with me being selected to teach a Video Game Design class for Cybercamps this summer.  It will be a thrill, and I have a question for you.

Iron Man: Superior Tech.

The movie was excellent.  Gripping, outstanding acting by Robert Downey Jr.  Fun little supporting roles by Terence Howard and Gwyneth Paltrow.  Jeff Bridges’ best performance since The Dude.  Marvel hit a home run with their first completely in-house movie, and they even slipped in a sex scene!
I loved the effects, and I dug the quirky little origin [...]
