This week’s Screen Savers proved a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I chose to take a look back at the 1998 film, The Avengers. This film is not associated with the Marvel comic books or movies in any way, shape or form. In fact, this movie is the reason that in the UK […]

So, in an effort to stop feeding bad habits, I’m no longer buying new games. Exceptions are being made of course (Mass Effect: Andromeda, I’m coming for you!), but on the whole, I’ve been good at sticking to my promise. See, I’ve fallen into a bad habit familiar to most gamers; despite multiple purchases made every […]

Fun but useless fact about me; I had three pen pals growing up. One in Scotland, one in Italy and one in Canada. I have lost contact with all but one of them. From time to time I find myself just wondering what became of the other two. Root Letter takes that idea and develops a […]

I first came across Herald when I was writing for a site that doesn’t exist anymore. I didn’t write about it, but I thought it looked interesting enough. And I couldn’t even back it on Kickstarter because I was short on money. Herald came out a couple of weeks ago and the developers gave The […]

I’ve only seen Titanic once in my life. It was in 1997 in Santry. I remember it very well because for the first time, with absolute certainty, I could say I had a least favourite film. Yes, I was only a teenager but I was very much a film fanatic. Our house had hundreds of movies […]

It’s hard to find a good time travelling series that sends your mind into a downward spiral. Sometimes you can get so caught up with the nitty-gritty scientific and logical explanations that it can over shadow the fun of the story. And while TimeRiders by Alex Scarrow won’t win any prizes for the best thought out […]

In 2017, when you say ‘Marvel movie’, you think of Avengers, Captain America: Civil War, X-Men or Deadpool. There was a time, however, when Marvel made what many believe to be a very bad movie. I am talking about the first ever live-action, feature length theatrical release of Howard the Duck in 1986. Technically speaking, Marvel Studios did not exist […]
