April 23rd, 2018 If you were born in the 80's or at least were a child of the 90's, you recall that we had some pretty peculiar toys. Some made a resurgence, even if we can't figure out why, but some were just plain strange even though we obsessively wanted them. Here's a few to start your Monday off! Now, if you're thinking "Wait, what about...

April 20th, 2018 All of us love a bit of Arrested Development and of course, everyone has their favorite characters. However, Lucille Bluth is my patronus. A woman so derailed by her mental filter that sometimes she just says what is on her mind, for better or for worse. Here's some of my favorite...

April 16th, 2018 It's sometimes easy to forget how much work goes into an episode of South Park. They go through a grueling week of conception, writing, voice work and animation to get a show that's topical and ready for air. That sounds insane, but what about the South Park games? The trailer for the documentary "6 Days to Air" goes through what a...

April 13th, 2018 Illfonic and Gun's push into the mainstream gaming world was Friday the 13th: The Video Game. A game with the blessing of Sean S. Cunningham, the cult-classic horror movie's creator, it has grabbed the attention of gamers everywhere. I was and am, admittedly, a huge fan of the co-op slasher game that came out nearly a year ago. A lot...

April 10th, 2018 If you hadn't heard of the Netflix Original Series Santa Clarita Diet, it's okay. I get it. I hadn't heard of it until I was randomly on Netflix and saw the promotional header as I logged in one day. I took a chance, then and there, and I'm so intensely glad I did. I'm going to admit a few more things, while we're here. One, I'm not...

April 5th, 2018 Back when Buffy the Vampire Slayer first stumbled onto televisions in 1997, it was never expected to be the cult classic it became. While many claimed it was the titular character's appeal, I found myself as a teenager more fascinated in the friendships. Why, you ask? The first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was all about...
Lists & Things

April 3rd, 2018 There are literally tomes of awesome behind-the-scenes featurettes thanks to the massive Extended sets of The Lord of the Rings films!

March 30th, 2018 There's few things as beautiful as the simple elegance of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I've just recently started playing it myself and sometimes I just find myself wandering around, staring at the scenery and taking in the soft blues and golds. Check out (and right-click-save) some of these GIFs for your...

March 29th, 2018 We grew up in weird times, most of us. If you came up in the 90's as a small kid there was a bevvy of figures and toys that had already been road-tested by us kids in the 80's. For girls, we had Barbie. Not all of us wanted Barbie all of the time though. I didn't, at least. The creation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe rested...

March 27th, 2018 This isn't that kinda game you play when you want a feel-good happy-fun adventure. This game isn't for the weak. Far Cry 5 is Ubisoft's latest installment in the intensely popular Far Cry series and it takes place not part of a breathtaking scenic local like you'd expect. Instead of the peaks of a beautiful mountain-filled country or...

March 22nd, 2018 Personally, I've been an avid fan of Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star and video game RPGs since I was a little kid. For most of my formative years, the story was the focus until consoles got beefier and action and lights won out. Well, until now. Admittedly, I'm one of those obnoxious "When I was your age..." jerks when it comes to some of...
