‘Supermassive Black Holes’ – Muse – Track Of The Day

As we’re going for an ‘ALIENS & SPACE’ theme for today, we figured Muse‘s ‘Supermassive Black Holes’ was the perfect track to start off this fine Saturday. For anyone who was a diehard Muse fan (like myself) back in the day, this creepy tune is sure to send you reeling with nostalgia. What are you […]

‘Hollow’ – Tori Kelly – Track Of The Day

If you’re expecting anything Bleach related, you honestly won’t even be disappointed when you find out this has nothing to do with soul reapers OR hollows; ‘Hollow’ is going to be on your mind ALL DAY. Guaranteed. All those aaaaa’s and ohohoh’s are absolutely addictive. ‘Scuse me while I start a lip sync battle with […]

Lazy Anime Day – Geeky Goodies

We all get those lazy anime days where we sit around in our pyjamas, hair sticking straight up (which you secretly like, because it makes you feel like an anime character yourself) with half eaten packets of sweets strewn around you. On this depressing Monday, a lazy anime day would be heaven! Sometimes they’re totally unplanned […]

‘You’re Such A’ – Hailee Steinfeld – Track Of The Day

It’s Monday again, folks, and that means you’re going to need a banger of a tune to get you through the day (a jumbo coffee doesn’t hurt either!) Today we’re going for the highly underrated Hailee Steinfeld‘s ‘You’re Such A’. You’ll be mouthing all the lyrics perfectly by the end of the day, mark our […]

Crappy Costumes – Back Issues

As an avid reader of comics for more than a decade, I’ve seen my fair share of crappy costumes; dodgy masks, vibrant capes and dodgy flares. There have been some real stinkers through the years! Many costumes can be drab, uninspired and often fade into the background, but there are plenty of iconic characters who […]

A Brief Guide To The African Comic Book Industry

When you think of the comic book industry, it’s pretty likely that your mind will flash with the bright red of Marvel or the grey/black of DC. They’re the popular guys in school, the ones all the nerdy creatives hanging out at the back of the cafeteria want to be, and with the growth of […]

Comicphiles – Escaping Robotic Humanity

July has been one of those months where I’ve truly been unable to say no to myself, so I’ve had more than several of those ‘treat yoself’ moments. This frivolous spending has resulted in many new number 1s cluttering up my shelves and tablet space. It was pretty hard to choose three comics to chat […]

You Should Watch… Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica is a powerhouse sci-fi which first aired in 1978 and was followed by a stream of comics, books, board games and spin-offs. Due to waning interest in the original 70s show, it was abruptly cancelled and many attempts to reboot it were made for years before it was finally picked up again as a […]

Rosie The Riveter – Style Saturday

Today’s theme on The Arcade is GIRL POWER and what better icon to represent girl power than Rosie the Riveter? The ‘We Can Do It!’ poster and the cultural icon Rosie the Riveter (representing the American women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II) were combined to form what we today see as […]
