Like many, I spent this weekend binging on Netflix’s Orange is the New Black. And, for the first time in three seasons, I’m really conflicted over how to respond to what I saw. I’m disappointed in the bulk of the storylines, the strange lack of in-depth character moments for the majority of the show’s most […]
Recently, Microsoft and 343 Industries released Halo 3: ODST for The Master Chief Collection. Going back to this game after years away from it, I was surprised at how different it felt from other Halo titles that Bungie made. At the time I remember loving the game, but firing ODST up in 2015 on an […]
After last week’s gorgeous and terrifying episode, that saw the noose around Bedelia’s neck begin to tighten, this week’s episode provided the first taste of the what the first half of the season will have in store for us: Will and Hannibal clashing in one final cat and mouse game. The title of “Primavera” is […]
QUICK!! A nuclear bomb is about to hit. You have just 60 seconds to grab what you need to survive. What you can grab you need to quickly throw into your bunker and then jump into the safety of the bunker yourself. If you don’t grab enough food you could starve. Or if you don’t bring […]
How does a show follow the greatest episode of its five year run? If that show is Game of Thrones, it burns a young girl alive at the stake. Because, lest you forget, on Game of Thrones, it always ends in tears. There was no real way the series could possibly hope to carry over […]
Comic books that are outside of the story arcs don’t have to be unimportant. Mark Waid and Chris Samnee have put together a number of stand-alone single issues during their extended run on Daredevil. However, Daredevil #15.1, an issue outside of the current story arc, does feel pretty superfluous. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad […]
“Antipasto” was a particularly interesting episode within the Hannibal cannon. Most notably, we didn’t receive any real resolution in terms of last season’s cliffhanger of an ending (although I can’t imagine for a second there are any fans who believe Will, Jack, and Alana didn’t make it out alive- particularly in light of the post-episode […]
Jupiter’s Circle remains one of the most lauded series so far. In two issues it was able to create a fully fleshed out, imperfect, yet still incredibly heartfelt character. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it is writer Mark Millar’s best work (he keeps saying every subsequent release will be), but I […]
With every new big-budget, large-scale RPG that is released we get a raising of the bar in terms of how much just general ‘stuff’ a developer can pack in. It’s a veritable arms race to create the the most impressive and substantial world we’ve yet witnessed in a video game, and it’s one that’s ramped […]
Today Nintendo held a Nintendo Direct in Japan, and surprisingly, it had a decent amount of announcements. The biggest one of those announcements was the unveiling of Monster Hunter X. For the 3DS, Monster Hunter X (pronounced as Cross, not X), this installment seems to have flashed up the combat with weapons doing over the […]
