Makeup can be fairly underrated when it comes to cosplay and I don’t really know why. It has a way of taking your cosplay up a notch. You may think a character has generic features but if you truly look at them, certain aspects start to pop out. Their thin brows may give them a more […]

In 2001, while I withered my youth away in secondary school, I picked up a little bit of an addiction. Truthfully, I watched Samurai Jack to the point of near obsession, even going so far as to keep a babysitting job with what was possibly Ireland’s creepiest father for the sole purpose of watching the show.

We have a first time occurrence for myself on this particular edition of Yesflix/NoFlix. Generally, when browsing Netflix for two selections that we wish to cover, there is a pre-conceived notion about which one will fall under the ‘Yes’ category and which will fall under the ‘No’ category. That is to say, we choose one […]

I’m not gonna lie. Us geeks often have a love/ hate relationship with junk food. The nights of gaming take their toll and, more frequently than I’d like, the following day is spent wading through the carnage that is empty takeaway boxes, cans upon cans of caffeine infused, delicious sugary poison and, occasionally, entire multipacks of Tayto […]

The League of Legends community is a tricky thing to sum up. On the one hand, we have amazing works being created in the fields of fanart, cosplay and youtube. But on the other, you’ll be hard pushed to ask 10 people “Did someone in your last 10 games flame you?” and get an all round […]

If there’s one thing that Star Wars has in spades, it’s incredible characters. But you don’t have to have perfect vision to notice that there’s a fairly wide gender imbalance in the last 40 years of lore. That being said, there are some fantastically written women throughout the universe that it doesn’t hurt to stop and […]
