Review: Doctor Who S9, Ep.3 – ‘Under the Lake’

Video: Man At Arms Forges Diana’s Crescent Blade
Any League of Legends fan worth their salt will no doubt be aware of the blacksmith show Man At Arms, which creates real life replicas of all your favourite weapons from film, anime and gaming. The team has previously created such iconic LoL weapons as Katarina’s daggers and Leona’s Zenith Blade, and now they’re taking a stab […]
Music Monday: Acoustic Autumn Atmosphere
I’m not going to tell you why you should stop and listen to each of these songs in detail. It’s Monday night, it’s late and it’s raining outside. The day is almost done and you deserve some time to just sit back, listen to the world go by and these seven tracks are the perfect […]
Geeky Goodies: Plush Comfort
We’re heading for a rough, cold and wet few weeks/months and while some of us (me, mostly me!) are looking forward to the freezing dark nights ahead the rest are dreading soggy clothes, biting winds and lack of sunshine. It got me thinking though about the things we use to comfort ourselves, get all snuggled […]
Life In Japan: Eat Cheap!
Japan is not, contrary to what you may have heard, a particularly expensive country. Sure, it’s got its high-end areas and an obsession with brand names that both rivals and completely outdoes anything America’s most self-absorbed millennials could offer, but generally speaking, the cost of living in Japan, even in places like Tokyo, is pretty […]

It’s the beginning of Halloween, people! Now, I can hear you say to yourself, “But […]
Top 5 Most Anticipated Indie Games
As The Arcade’s resident indie guy, it struck me as odd that I’ve never made this list before, but better late then never I suppose. This list is about my top five indie games that I am looking forward to in the future, complete with fancy trailers for you to feast your eyes on. Now, as […]
Screen Savers: The Room
Last year, the PBS Idea Channel put out a video posing the question “can you make a movie that’s so bad it’s good on purpose?”, citing films like Sharknado and Ghost Shark by The Asylum as attempts at just that, while contrasting them against films that are terrible but don’t know they’re bad, such as […]
RePlay: Jak And Daxter
I don’t know how and I don’t know when, but somewhere over the last decade, publishers decided that mascot platformers were a thing of the past. Nevermind that Mario still sells gangbusters based on every game being a great platformer, nevermind that the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon and Sonic The Hedgehog have […]
