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 […]

Recently, we put out the news that the physical copy of Fallout 4 would not come with the full game, and would require you to download the last of the files from Steam upon purchase. While I understand piracy can be hard on developers and there has to be steps taken to lower the risk, it did […]

Statistically speaking, you, as a sentient human, probably didn’t like Assassin’s Creed III. Ubisoft’s ambitious American Revolution story faced harsh criticism upon its launch in 2012, more so than any Assassin’s Creed title since the first one, which was, in my opinion, much more deserving of it. III‘s problems were unfortunately abundant; glitches and bugs […]

In recent years there has been somewhat of a growing infatuation of ’80s centric culture and media. From the explosion of vaporwave and synthwave music in the early 2000s to fan projects like Kung Fury attempting to desperately capture the style and aesthetic of the late 80s to early 90s. This fetishisation hasn’t stopped at […]

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 […]

[Editor’s Note – Two of our writers wanted to take a shot at the recent Star Wars boycott controversy. Normally we’d select one to run with it, but they both offered different takes on the topic that we felt were interesting and worth hearing with the overall broad strokes complimenting each other. So, here’s both […]

“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 […]

In the words of King Arthur of Disney’s Sword in The Stone, “For every high, there is a low. For every to there is a fro.” The best heroes you will find in comics are those who have a constant reactive force of evil pushing their deeds of valor down with their malicious intent. A […]
