July 30th, 2018A dear friend of mine, Andrien Gbinigie has been featured on TDC before, but once he got into his cosplay game and started gaining traction online, it seemed like time for a follow-up.

July 25th, 2018There is definitely a history of actors who perform double duty in rock bands. (Oh hey, Keanu!) But in Jessica Pimentel's case, she's a triple threat: Actor, musician and internet DJ.

July 19th, 2018When I found out that Black Lagoon was part of our Loot Anime SQUAD crate this month, I must have squeed for a good ten minutes. This high octane, ass-kicking, definitely for mature audiences anime series was one of the few series I had to watch the instant new episodes were online.
