Conan in Japan!

Hail fellow barbarians and savages! It's really great to see the CROM! blog back to it's former self (and then some) with the return of Cromsblood and the addition of our newest blogging brother, Atom Kid. And to hold up my end of things a bit, i wanted to take a quick moment to tell you all about an email I received from a Conan fan all the way from the land of the rising sun.


A blogger called "Banjin" （蛮人）, which means "barbarian" in Japanese, set me a link to his website, which is all devoted our favorite sword-swinger Conan!

You can visit Banjin's site, "Conan the Oblivioner" (???) by clicking HERE. It appears that Banjin has combined two of his favorite things: Conan and the popular sandbox style video game (which I have sunken many hours into myself), Oblivion.

And good luck navigating the site because it's all in Japanese. Maybe Cromsblood can help us out with some sort of translator?

Anyway, check it out and, as always, make sure to die not in hunger... but in combat!

MORE Conan Randomness!

Hail, you Hyrkanian sons of jackals! I just wanted to pass on a couple of cool Conan-related links. The first one is a rather comprehensive and thorough review of the NECA Temple of the Serpent Conan figure, which I have just added to the list of Conan stuff I must have. You can read it HERE.

And this month's (May 2010) art theme over at Super Punch is... RED SONJA! So, if any of you have any drawing skill, and want to win a $100 Threadless gift certificate, click HERE and check out the details. Good luck!

Okay, that's all. Now back to our regularly scheduled blogging.
