I don’t regret getting my 3DS in the slightest. Sure, the system may have gotten off to a bit of a shaky start, but just look at how much there is to offer now, especially if you’re like me and love yourself a damn good adventure. Honestly, I’d say it’s hands-down the best console for […]

I really, really love RPGs. I know it’s extremely unhealthy to love a genre where 40 hours is about the minimum you can expect to put into any given game, but I don’t care. Even today when the genre is filled with games that embody style over substance (lookin’ at you, Final Fantasy XIII) or […]

Recent numbers show Ben Stillers latest cash grab Zoolander 2 flopping hard at the box office. For the most part, this seems due to sharing a release weekend with Ryan Reynolds superhero comedy Deadpool, but it could also be argued that Zoolander is cursed with timing, having released the original movie right after 9/11. Zoolander, despite being highly quotable on the […]

Everyone loves good comic villains, but they aren’t a ‘one size fits all’ kind of deal. There is such a huge spectrum of villainous types of characters that there’s a mad meanie for everyone’s taste, from a totally evil bad guy with no chance of redemption to an anti-hero doing a good deed for his […]

I’m a firm believer that if you can’t find good new art, you aren’t looking hard enough. I believe this with all facets; comics, movies, literature, music, all of it. As such, we’re just over six weeks into 2016 and there’s a small pile of quality records already clambering for attention on my iPod. Here’s […]

This song is ‘DongJoo’s Theme’ from the drama My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (nine-tailed fox), a fantasy romantic comedy show. There is no official music […]

Given that everyday is bringing us closer and closer to the Deftones record Gore, I’ve been listening to nothing but the ‘Tones since the album’s reveal announcement. They’re a band who are really worth revisiting every so often, reminding one’s self of just how distinct and incredible they are. ‘Sextape’ is one of the best […]

I loved The Ghostbusters as a child.. and still do. I remember crashing out in the sitting room as soon as playschool was over and I was set for the afternoon. There are a lot of moments that have stuck with me from both The Real Ghostbusters and the movie franchise. The music, the acting, the […]
