After Sony’s event a few months ago, Microsoft steps up to the plate and makes a swing at the next generation of consoles. The results are… shockingly similar. The major bullet points are the same: more cloud, more sharing, more streaming video, and x86 hardware....
When Mass Effect 3 came out, I excitedly loaded my previous saves to continue my saga. Upon starting the game, it gave me a rundown of my previous accomplishments, a terrible list of horrible deeds that I did. That’s when I realized that I only...
SUICIDE SQUAD #20: I bought this almost entirely on Dan at Gammasquad’s recommendation, and I was not disappointed in the least. I read the first few issues of the rebooted Suicide Squad, and between the cheesecake art and the “my vagina is a clown car” joke...
Here’s the first sign of the Star Wars EU migrating to Disney-owned property: Production has begun on Star Wars Rebels, an animated series set between Episodes III and IV. The show will have a one-hour premiere next fall on Disney Channel before heading to a half-hour series...
Guess who got into a preview screening of Star Trek Into Darkness? A ton of people, but also this guy *points to self*. And I LOVED it. But to go into great detail about why, I’m going to need to spoil a ton of it, so...

Read More →I hope you guys are ready for a rant, because I’m ready to talk about Iron Man 3: It was perfectly fine. It was a pretty good, fun, slightly smarter than normal summer popcorn flick. It wasn’t worthy of the insane hyperbole calling it the best superhero movie ever, nor was it an embarrassment on par with Batman...
Read More →IRON MAN 3! is a movie that came out last week. I’ll have a review up eventually, and I hope you guys are ready for a barnburner. I thought the movie was PRETTY GOOD. X-MEN LEGACY #10: I FINALLY HAVE A NEW WAY TO SAY IT! For 10 issues now I’ve been preaching about this book,...

Read More →Well this is just balls: ROBOT 6 has confirmed rumors circulating this weekend at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo that parent company AOL has shut down the comics news site ComicsAlliance. The move came Friday amid the abrupt closings of AOL Music and several music news and video sites. I’d tweet this, but it’s way over the character limit: CA...
Read More →Good Old Games is a fantastic service, but lets face it: not everything they sell is a classic, no matter what the reviews say. I dare you to find a game that’s rated below three stars. I like to call this the GoG Effect: where every game, regardless of quality, is so slathered in nostalgia that it’s...
