First in our series of Faves of 2022. This list comes courtesy of musician Phil Yates!
Every year we ask some of our music friends to share some of their thoughts on some of the albums/singles that were released in the past year.

Are calisthenics stronger than bodybuilders?
Calisthenics and bodybuilding are two different types of exercises that focus on developing different aspects of physical fitness. Therefore, it's not accurate to say that one is inherently stronger than the other.
Click Here
Calisthenics involves bodyweight exercises that utilization the opposition of the body to develop fortitude, perseverance, and adaptability. Workout activities should be possible anyplace without the requirement for any gear or rec center participations. They can incorporate activities like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, rushes, and boards.

We’ve had Frank Gorshin, John Astin, Jim Carrey, Corey Smith, and Paul Dano. We could have had Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, or even David Tennant.
My question to you is, who in your opinion, is the best man for the job in terms of live action? Who is YOUR ideal live action Riddler?
the fuckin face of disgust i made at the notion of bawheid leonardo dicaprio playing the riddler, paul dano's spherical dome was ENOUGH only ONE round boy may play him
ok so, i have a few different preferences for who i think would make an excellent riddler!!
so, fem!riddler? kate mckinnon as jillian holtzmann in ghostbusters really just. did something to me lmao
if i wanted to be entirely self-indulgent? fuck it, give me lucky yates. give that man to me in spandex. he already played an unethical scientist in archer, he's goofy, dorky, and he loves batman
if i'm going for a live action of my beloved arkham riddler? hit me with doc hammer baby, his face is spot fuckin ON
and then, if i want someone new and fun? phil wang. phil wang would be an exceptional edward nygma

Star Trek: Away Missions
Original Release: 2023
Developer: Andrew Haught, Mike Haught, Phil Yates
Publisher: Gale Force Nine
Platform: Board Game
Not played: Only had a brief go at a convention, haven’t bought the game yet.
Star Trek: Away Missions is a 1v1 miniatures skirmish game. The base game is Federation Vs Borg, but you can get expansions for Romulans and Klingons. The miniatures have a nice style to them and are coloured based on faction, so the are easy to identify and avoid the “sea of grey” issue that some miniatures games have (unless you have the skill and time to paint them yourself).
While almost every game on this type – including previous Star Trek games – are focused entirely on combat, this one is much more objective based. Combat is still important, especially as damage can disable specific abilities to hinder your opponent’s plans for their objectives – but a lot of scenarios are done in a way that combat isn’t very helpful, and some games may have no combat at all, which fits in with Star Trek really well.
It sounds like a well made Star Trek game with nice components and a “collectable card game” style deck system.

@ovalbound said / ❝ she's happier when you’re here. ❞
there had been a time not so long ago he would have called complete bullshit on that; the time claire had spent in his office dismissing him, a barrage of shit rained down on him, the humiliating bargain she had been the one to negotiate. one of the most powerful men in america, in the intelligence community worldwide, brought to heel like a rabid dog on a chain, little more than a security guard.
he doesn't know when that changed. it's been small changes, certainly, edits to behaviour that have not aligned with their previous encounters. yates hangs around her like a noose -- which is fine, but she touches his shoulder or calls him phillip in that low tone of hers and phil feels... like he's being seduced. encouraged.
( he doesn't know what to do about that. he hasn’t figured out yet if he should be doing something about it at all. )
when claire leaves and doesn’t spare him a glance, frank surprises him. she’s happier when you’re here.
“ if i can help put the vice president at ease then... my job is being done. “
