If you counted yourself among the nine million players of DICE’s Battlefront Beta last month, you’re probably more than familiar with the original series of games from two gaming generations past. The idea behind these Replay pieces is to let readers know what it is we writers love and why time hasn’t tarnished them. Lucasarts’ […]

Let’s begin with a shocker. The Emperor’s New Groove was made in 2000. Before you continue reading, feel free to take a minute to get your head around that! The film marries fairy tale narrative with late ’90s humour; voice recordings would have started in 1998. This includes the frequent breaking of the fourth wall and […]

As I lie here on the precipice of death thanks to the dreaded cold and flu season, I have the time to indulge in some of my favorite things. Things that I grew up with, things that shaped my current warped little mind. Truthfully, things that actually stand a chance of cheering me up at […]

There are few things that are synonymous with childhood like Star Wars is. It shouldn’t have been all that surprising for my parents that one November morning back in 2003 both my sisters and I ended up pretty late for school because I had to see the first episode of the new Star Wars: Clone […]

This is my favourite time of year! Sure you get chocolate and huge roast dinners at Easter, chocolate and presents at Christmas but this time of year you get chocolate and the chance to cover yourself in blood and be accepted! I of course mean… fake… blood! Moving swiftly on! Halloween is upon us and […]

I am not going to go ahead and say I have any nostalgia for the ’80s as a part of my past, primarily because I wasn’t born yet. I do, however, have a deep passion for almost everything the time period stood for. Power ballads, awful hair, hilariously dumb movies and synth heavy music. Now, while […]

[SPOILER WARNING] I like lists, I really do. It’s probably no exaggeration that I have lists for everything, so of course I attempted to make a shortlist of what book or series to choose for this piece. I’m not going to lie, it was always going to be a challenge from the very start. My […]

Kablam! put together two things I loved as a kid and that was cartoons and comics. Such a simple yet brilliant idea. The best part of Kablam! was the fact that it had many “sketch” segments as well as the main two characters (Henry and June) hosting and getting into their own adventures. These sketches […]

“A sceptre spoken of in lore… And sealed away since days of yore, Unleashes it’s forbidden power, And heralds Trodain’s darkest hour.” Though Dragon Quest: Journey of The Cursed King’s opening text doesn’t tell you much you’ll find out soon enough that it was stolen by the malicious jester, Dhoulmagus, who you, along with the […]
