Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
I’m a Gamer
Ever since Dr. Will appeared on the Major Spoilers Podcast, there has been an increase in my traffic regarding games and gamers, and all the cool games that are out there. That got me thinking that “gaming” is a bit more broad than one might initially expect based on one’s current views.

[poll id="335”]

Discussion: 
The Red Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Star) 
The Red Star is a comic book series by Christian Gossett set in a sci-fi/fantasy world described by Gossett as "Mythic [Soviet] Russia". The "Lands of The Red Star" were inspired by both Russian folklore and military history. The series is thus heavily reminiscent of a post-World War II Soviet Russia mixing technology and sorcery.

Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
This week, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie arrives in theaters, and though it is not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the interest level for the movie appears to be high… right? At the other end of the summer, Guardians of the Galaxy arrives in theaters, and generally, people seem confused about the concept and how it does fit into the MCU.
