Agents of Shield - Checklist filled

So let’s see how [that checklist][1] works out in practice then. Oh yeah, spoilers:

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Checklist

Tomorrow, Agents of Shield[^1] will start. It’s a TV show set in the Avengers movie universe, focusing on somewhat more minor heroes. The promotional material has focused on showing action sequences and explosions. The images were of various people all looking strong and grim. In many ways, it sounds like you could skip it. Except for one thing: It’s the new TV series by Joss Whedon, the genius behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Dollhouse and, oh yeah, the Avengers movie.

Trains in Games

Many years ago, I had started a website dealing with trains in video games. Now I’ve finally updated it again, with reviews for [Bioshock Infinite](http://trainsingames.com/articles/bioshockinfinite) and [Dishonored](http://trainsingames.com/articles/dishonored). I’ve also [changed some other stuff](http://trainsingames.com/2013/4/newreviews).

Tomb Raider (2013)

It’s been a few weeks now since I played the newest Tomb Raider game, but somehow I forgot writing a review for it. Sorry about that. Here it is!
