August 28th, 2018Extraterrestrial beings are the epitome of what makes sci-fi, well, sci-fi. Aliens are such an anomaly to humankind that we've created our own versions of their likeness in pop culture. Sometimes their unfamiliarity with the norm or Earth makes them hilarious (like Alf and E.T.)! Here are some of pop culture's under-appreciated...

August 23rd, 2018I played Dungeons & Dragons for the first time when I was 10 years old, and I was immediately hooked.

As I...

1. There is a character named Patches that can be found throughout every Dark Souls title and even Bloodborne by name, though he's hinted at in Dark Souls 2 as...
August 21st, 2018I am an unabashed fanboy for anything that From Software, the developers behind the Dark Souls series, makes. They could literally make a Clifford's Big Red Birthday Party video game, and I would more than likely pre-order the special edition that comes with the exclusive Dark Souls Clifford Collectible Figure.
All kidding aside, I...

August 17th, 2018It's been a part of the fabric of geek culture for decades, and yet somehow the tabletop gaming world – and Dungeons and Dragons in particular – has only really begun to appear frequently in film and TV over the past couple of decades.
