August 5th, 2019 I, by no means, am an expert in The Sims. With that said, Island Living is the latest expansion for The Sims 4 and the idea of a gorgeous island getaway was definitely what I needed. What I found is that being a mermaid isn't as freeing as I thought. Thankfully, my sister Samantha is this incredible expert in all things Sims and not...

July 31st, 2019 Sega's Yakuza series has hit a beautiful cult-status here in the States and that was proven by its spin-off getting some fast praise upon its release. Judgment, called Judge Eyes overseas, takes the streets you've come to know and love and ages it up into a modern day thriller that Jessica Fletcher would die for. As someone who came...

July 30th, 2019 Sometimes we play video games so much in our comfortable headsets that we forget better sound quality is being developed for our games almost non-stop. Turtle Beach and LucidSound have two headsets that are both mid-range in price and a bit more heavy duty to suit those. I tested them for you, so let's look! Before we get started, keep...

July 30th, 2019 There were so many amazing popcorn pictures in the 90's and it was hard to dig into the trivia of an entire decade! So, I nabbed some from the most notorious of films in the 90's so we could have fun. How many of these 90's movie tidbits do you already know? 1.

July 29th, 2019 Very few people can say they don't have Jim Henson as part of their childhood, thanks to Sesame Street and The Muppets.

July 24th, 2019 It's kind of bonkers how much lore and story can be shoved into fighting games, am I right?

July 23rd, 2019 I remember toy commercials back in the 80's almost more than the series they came from! They were bombastic and fast moving, colorful as the dickens and I wanted them all so bad. How many of these do you recognize and which did you beg to get for the holidays? I easily had my hands on most of these...

July 23rd, 2019 It doesn't take a sword and a calling to be a hero and Prince Adam aka He-Man proves that!

July 22nd, 2019 One of the first things I did when I could on the Internet was learn more about some of the lesser known titles that Japan kept their hands on and we never saw over here. Games like Bahamut Lagoon, Violinist of Hameln and my favorite - Famicom Tantei Club! We never got this mystery text-based game over here, so let me tell you about...

July 22nd, 2019 July and August are weird times for shows to start but streaming services generally don't play by anyone else's rules what with shorter seasons and a lack of ratings details. Good thing that's the case because we don't have to wait until September for The Boys from Amazon! Based on the comic series by Garth Ennis, The Boys touches on a...

July 17th, 2019 With a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes and some pretty scathing reviews, I had to wonder what the issue was with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston's Netflix comedy Murder Mystery. I wanted to dive in and see if I could make sense of it. Are people just over Sandler or is there more going on? The trailer for Murder Mystery, which I've...

July 16th, 2019 Not many sci-fi shows are touched by the hands of Jim Henson, but Farscape was! With under 100 episodes, it remains one of the all-time most beloved sci-fi shows out there.

July 9th, 2019 There is something pretty fantastic about sliding back into the popular cartoons of the 60's. Speed Racer had so much going for it, much like it being a Japanese anime dubbed over in English and brought to the mainstream. Want to learn more? 1. Spritle was named as such because Peter Fernandez, voice director and writer, felt that it...

July 8th, 2019 There have been so many iterations of Scooby-Doo that we've grown up over the years, right?
