My favourite show at the moment is Steven Universe and, even though it has been on a break for a little while, it is truly a magical show. No show has brought me to tears so often. If you have not watched it, I implore you to watch a couple of episodes at least. I watched […]

Writing for The Arcade can sometimes make for an odd task. It’s not that I don’t like the job; far from it. However, I can never shake the nagging feeling that I am yet to earn my nerd stripes, as it were. Fortunately, this platform was founded on principles of inclusion and, in contrast, the […]

There’s nothing like having a few comics waiting on your bedside locker when you need to unwind before going to bed. For me, it used to be a good book, but now that I’m a big stressed-out adult I don’t have time to read anything substantial. Something short like a comic book is perfect. When […]

Hey there, cosplayers! This week, our usual cosplay consultant, Lauren Murphy, is otherwise engaged, so sadly I’m afraid you’re stuck with me. I know, it’s a crying shame! However, while I don’t claim to be an expert, I do want to give my own perspective as a relative newbie to the scene, and hopefully help […]

Fawlty Towers is a show I was introduced to by my dad back in 2001. Even back then the show was 26 years old, having originally come out with six episodes in 1975. These six episodes were then followed by another six in 1979 and that’s the entire story of Fawlty Towers. Two seasons with […]

In all honesty, the title ‘ Boss Rush’ could actually serve as an adequate description of Bravely Default‘s second half. The first half was absolutely brilliant, proving that despite how old and overplayed the idea is, travelling around the world to purify the four crystals of the elements can actually still work. The only problem […]

Around once a year, it comes time to accept that piles and piles (and piles) of stuff that’s been purchased over the last 10-12 months needs proper cataloging and putting away. Being a comic, movie, game and music collector, there’s always a pile somewhere of fresh additions to the collection that need to be suitably […]

We have had an onslaught of teen angst and teen cancer films in recent years, stemming from the release of John Green’s The Fault in our Stars, but none since have had the same impact that it had, making the fact that it’s a terrible film all the worse. Finally, however, a shimmer of light in […]
