May 3rd, 2018Not every story that takes place in an alternate universe requires a drastic change in the environment to capture our imagination.
In The Ancient Magus' Bride, manga-ka Kore Yamazaki takes familiar settings and works her magic, taking commonplace scenery and reminding us of the beauty we often take for granted.
I began my journey...
May 2nd, 2018Our favorite holiday is right around the corner! No, not Mother’s Day. (Sorry mom, I still love you.) Nope, it’s not Memorial Day. (But a long weekend DOES sound nice right about now.) It’s not even the 4th of July… (Although, I suddenly want a hot dog.)
The reason we are jumping into lightspeed with joy is because STAR WARS...
May 2nd, 2018Some of the Adult Swim's beloved programming over the years played a role in bringing us the hit adult animated show Archer! While a lot of hardcore fans may not be surprised, I thought it'd be fun to talk about the rad pedigree of the creators of this great show! Let's get back to the beginning...
I've been a huge fan of the weirdness...
May 1st, 2018According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a role model is defined as a person looked to by others as an example to be imitated. There are role models in our normal everyday lives that are tangible real people such as your friends, a humanitarian figure, etc., but there are also those figures in pop culture that fully take up that...
May 1st, 2018We've got an unabashed Deadpool takeover going on over here at Loot Crate for May! Knowing that, we thought we'd dip back in and talk more Deadpool and see what other little trivia bits we can share! Let's dive back into the Deadpool den, shall we?
1. If you can believe it, the sequel for Deadpool was announced three days before the...
April 30th, 2018In 1965, producer extraordinaire Irwin Allen (yep, the same man who all but perfected the disaster movie in the 1970s) launched Lost In Space, a sci-fi yarn about a family stranded out in the great beyond. Over 50 years later, the Robinsons have returned to the small screen.
Netflix's all-new Lost In Space isn't the first time that the...
April 30th, 2018I've mentioned it in articles in the past, but the Super Nintendo era of games is probably my favorite, and many argue one of the best generations for gaming ever. However, there is a game that doesn't always get talked about in the same conversations as these 16-bit Titans, and I think it should be: and that's the third installment in...
April 27th, 2018If you’re a real pop culture nerd, chances are you get as excited when you see a supporting character with a familiar face as you do when one of your faves is the star. Let’s celebrate these heroes!…

April 27th, 2018DC Superheroes tend to be a little more, I dunno, super than the average person. That doesn't mean that they don't have some real human moments too (even for the ones that are technically aliens - I'm looking at you, Superman). I've compiled ten examples of DC heroes (and some villains!) proving they can be just like...
April 26th, 2018It's hard not to love the cult classic film The Big Lebowski, and if fans who run in droves to Lebowski Fest are any indication, it's not slowing down! Check out Jeff Bridges talking Lebowski Fest on the gone-too-soon Comedy Central social media game show @Midnight. If you're wanting to get your hands on a The Big Lebowski EXCLUSIVE...
April 26th, 2018Honestly, it takes a lot to get me into anime lately, I find. When Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma was pitched to me I was skeptical until they hit on something they knew I REALLY love: Iron Chef. While this show is definitely not for young folks, adults will find it charming despite being crude. Here's why.
As a note: this show won't...
April 25th, 2018When super villains strike, it’s up to the X-Men to save the day! But you haven’t made the team JUST yet.

And in honor of Tabletop Day coming up this weekend, later today we will be hosting a very special live stream event where we'll be play-testing The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31...
April 24th, 2018When I initially sat down and scheduled my articles for April, this was a day, and a piece, I was very excited to write about, because it was after the opening weekend of one of the most anticipated games of this year, and a game that fans have been waiting years for: God of War. I knew I was going to have several uninterrupted...
April 24th, 2018When we talk about Role Models as our May theme, it's ironically – and definitely in the case of Frank Castle. Still, there are quite a few interesting bits of info about everyone's favorite skull-adorned Marvel antihero. Check out what we've found out about The Punisher...
1. Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, was actually introduced as...
April 23rd, 2018If you grew up in the beginning of console gaming, you remember the proliferation of franchise video games that were aimed at kids that loved the television shows and movies they were based off of. Disney was no exception and, ever since the Amiga, has released game after game marketed towards youngsters. What about us Disney loving...
