You’ve all heard of The Killing Joke in some shape or form by now. If not, please consult your physician, because you are likely clinically dead. For those of you not in the loop, (Seriously, get yourselves checked.) The Killing Joke was written in 1988 by Alan Moore and received immediate critical acclaim. It also got the Bruce Timm treatment this past week with […]

The last episode of Batman: The Animated Series I wrote about was Baby Doll. It was fairly decent and entertaining until we get to that outstanding climax. Suddenly this fun little distraction turned into a powerful TV drama and the whole episode was elevated to classic status. Today I’m following a similar pattern with Mudslide, the second to […]

These days, the overnight success of Undertale seems like nothing, as this year both Overwatch and Pokemon Go have taken the world by storm two times over. Undertale was my game of the year in 2015, and I wasn’t alone, as the game’s popularity spread like wildfire throughout the Internet, spawning many discussions on the simplistic yet dark […]

The first place I go when I’m stressed out is space. I should clarify – when I need to escape life for a bit, space stories are my favourite. Blade Runner, Alien, Interstellar, The Martian. Philip K. Dick stories, Ian M. Banks novels – I devour that stuff. Games-wise, maybe you’ve played FTL (Faster Than […]

Looking for new comics to read? We’re here to help! For this week’s Comicphiles I decided to go with another scattershot approach. Judging only by the covers, I picked three comics I’d never heard of before at all. The feeling of picking up something totally unfamiliar and being sucked in – that was my goal. I […]

Syphon Filter was one of the first games I ever rented. My Dad didn’t really see the point of renting, but I got Syphon Filter for a short but glorious week back in 1999. If the timeline fits, I had already met the love of my life Metal Gear Solid the year before. Chances are good that […]

Okay, I’m slightly cheating with this article. This isn’t really a boss, more like a specific mechanic in a point and click game, but I don’t care. It involves a fight with someone else, so this is a boss of sorts. And my favourite thing of Monkey Island as well!  For the sake of transparency, […]

Like it or loath it, reboots, remakes and much later sequels are everywhere. You need only go to your favourite provider of movie news (us, of course!) and consistently listed among the upcoming films is a reboot of a classic or a money-spinning 10 years later sequel. Den of Geek have gone as far as […]

With Pokémon GO finally released in Ireland, and clearly set to take the world by storm, it might be time to have a little talk. In the immortal words of the Johto theme song, “Everybody wants to be a master!” Everyone who lived through the 90’s wants to catch ’em all. The problem is this […]
