April 9th, 2019Winter is here. For fans of the hit HBO television show Game of Thrones, we've been waiting over nine years to see how this epic journey would end (and it's been much longer for those of us that have been reading George R.R. Martin's books). But this Sunday, April 14th, we will finally begin the final season of GOT.
Over the last nine...
March 13th, 2019It's been a couple of years since Ubisoft's The Division and they knew it was about time to give folks something new. Well, they switched up the location and brought some new elements to the title. How much do you know and are sure you're ready for it?
As it so happens, I've been playing The Division 2 but still working out a few...

November 1st, 2018I've personally been a user on Twitch for almost 5 years. If you're looking for a community of people who share a common interest, to talk with, and to be yourself in, Twitch has always been (and always will be) my first suggestion. This past weekend I flew out to San Jose, CA to Twitch Con: a gathering of the best people you'll ever...
April 5th, 2018No, this isn’t a quiz about which Lord of the Rings character you are (we are all Gimli in our hearts), this is about memes. Dank, dank memes from a cinematic masterpiece. Let’s go on an adventure!
April 4th, 2018I feel like I'm not surprised very often by gaming experiences - I typically know what I'm going to enjoy, what genres I like, what games jive my turkey, and so on. But I have to say... While I just couldn't get into previous Far Cry titles for whatever reason, I have genuinely been surprised by how much fun I've had in Ubisoft's...
March 22nd, 2018Personally, 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...
January 31st, 2018I have quite the internal debate with myself every single time I think about my favorite Legend of Zelda game. It's relatively easy to fill out the top 10, but once I get to the top two spots, I have to choose between two Nintendo blockbusters: Super Nintendo's A Link to the Past and the Nintendo 64's Ocarina of Time.
As...

December 1st, 2017We've got Metal Gear Solid in December's STEALTH Loot Gaming Crate and I, a huge fan of the series, could not be more excited. It got me thinking about my two favorites and one that I'd love to throw into the sea forever and that's when I thought we'd talk Metal Gear Solid games!
Now, granted, I've played every Metal Gear game that has...

September 14th, 2017It's not like this is the first you're hearing about Call of Duty: WWII. The upcoming World War 2 era shooter is poised to take the gaming works by storm this November, and we had a chance a couple weeks ago to see just how awesome this title will be. Get ready, folks. It's intense.
Prepare yourself for a new school called Divisions. In...
August 10th, 2017The road to the third season of Young Justice was a long, winding one. Originally airing on Cartoon Network, the show was cancelled in the Spring of 2013. But the fans (and the creators and cast) never gave up hope.
After Season 2 arrived on Netflix in early 2016, co-producer Greg Weisman tweeted that a strong showing on the streaming...

January 23rd, 2017For Bryan Cranston, playing Zordon in the upcoming Power Rangers film is a bit like going back to a high school reunion as he voiced two different baddies in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the series that started a craze in North America. He’s not the only recognizable actor who’s appeared in a Power Rangers series.
Here’s some...
