[dc]S[/dc]weet-Mother-of-Batman, it is May! The month, not the Peter Parker aunt. April felt like it lasted forever.

The Friday Six is back, kids: six (give or take) things on my mind or links worth sharing. Because everyone loves lists and bullet points. 

[ ] Look At This

Star Wars Millennium Falcon Windshield Sunshade by ThinkGeek

This is WAY cooler than the sunshade I made of duct tape and pizza boxes.

[ ] Sharing is Caring?

I know various blogging/social media gurus trumpet the importance of social media sharing buttons on a website. I don’t really ever use them though—except to share my stuff, usually on my phone.

Do you use the social media share buttons on a post?

If I want to share something via Facebook or Twitter, I typically use the ol’ Copy and Paste.This might be a throwback to The Olden Days when this was the only option. Old habits die-hard, as they say.

Sure, there isn’t a reason not to include the sharing buttons on a post, but I find myself tweaking those a lot (I said tweaking not twerking), namely finding a better WordPress plugin.

I’m always looking for better WordPress plugins.

[ ] Rar!

I’m super excited about the new Godzilla film coming out this month. /Film posted the latest international trailer and I’m giddy.

Speaking of big monsters, I ordered one of my Big Monster shirts from Society6 to test the quality, and it turned out great.

I’ll do a full blog post about Society6 t-shirts soon, but I’m in love. With a shirt.

[ ] So Many Free Comics, So Little Time

 A nice write-up about the Free Comic Book Day event at Clem’s Comics & Games in the Lansing State Journal. The artists appearing, including myself, get a mention in the article—always a plus. I’ll be at Clem’s 8 AM to 11 AM.

[ ] Save Point

Gamer pal Sara Clemens’ (Videodame) Ico post, The Sound and Fury,  got a mention on Critical Distance (which in turn led to me getting some traffic). Hooray for group blogging projects.

[ ] X-Strike

I really want to play through Chrono Trigger again. I read up on the game while working on my latest Ico post and it gave me, The Hunger.

I still have my SNES and my original Chrono Trigger cartridge, but I’m considering buying the Nintendo DS port. I don’t think I would write about playing through the game, BUT, who knows. Maybe. I still need to finish my Ocarina of Time project.

I probably played through Chrono Trigger about a half-dozen times, but mainly using the New Game+ feature. Playing the game again with a fresh slate could be fun.

What do I mean, could be? It will be. Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite video games of all time, and certainly my favorite RPG.
