So your costume is all finished, shiny, and brand new, but there’s only one little problem: it should look like you’ve travelled for years on foot, only resting by camp fires, having to fight off dragons and monsters to make it by in the wilderness. Your armour should be war-torn and your sword dented and scraped. […]

Sometimes one needs a dose of anger and frustration in audio form. The angst-ridden slip-and-slide of maintaining one’s responsibilities as an adult (or younger) is littered with financial hardship, poor life choices and the inescapable reality that, no, that book depository wishlist is never getting any shorter and you’ll never have read quite as much […]

After the controversial finale of The Walking Dead season 6, we figured there would be plenty of people who are mad at the showrunners but still big fans of the series, so what better way to get your TWD fill (and avoid a case of blue balls) than by reading the comics! Or, if you don’t have […]

Why would anyone want to review new video games and talk about recent trends in the industry when we could spend all of our free time looking into the past? Why talk about Mass Effect: Andromeda when we could talk about Quarantine, right? Why play these older games when we can let someone else do […]

Although many of us still relish the weekly trip to the comic store to pick up our comics, sometimes that isn’t always feasible, especially in Ireland where comic shops are almost exclusively found in the city. If you’re searching for comics in a small town, or even one of the bigger ones, you’re going to […]

There’s something about chiptunes that just appeals to me. Maybe it’s the idea of taking something with a limited scope and using it in new and interesting ways. Maybe it’s the throwback to the sounds of my childhood. Maybe it’s the much simpler reason that a good number of chiptune tracks are bloody great, so […]

With Batman v Superman releasing in just four days, we’re getting pretty excited here at The Arcade. Usually when a big blockbuster like this releases, it results in a lot of spontaneous spending and hoarding of merchandise. At times like these, we shouldn’t be trusted with a credit card.

Another group of dragons has appeared! This time they’ve popped up seemingly out of nowhere. They are familiar but in a different way… Do you recognise any? Hungarian Horntail I can’t really tell you much about this one! He’s smaller than the others, just slightly smaller than Alduin. His species presumably hails from Hungary, other than […]
