Batman saw his parents murdered, Superman was the sole survivor on the planet Krypton and the Incredible Hulk has a mean temper!

Join me and have a good time — here are some things to keep you sane this weekend!

The food truck is real and the food is real, but the intentions behind the truck are a little different. This week, it was announced the Pyongyang Express truck is a part of a marketing campaign for THQ’s upcoming video game Homefront. More >

Happy birthday, America! Congrats on turning 234-years-old this weekend. My, how things have changed!
