Hey everyone, happy holidays! Just like we did with our favorite movies of 2016 (you can read that article here), we look back at some of the best things to grace our television screens (or computer monitors). 2016 truly was a wonderful year for t.v. Let's jump right in!
Last week, we wrote about the relaunch of Dreamlords Digital's Graywalkers Kickstarter. We recently sat down with Graywalkers creator and team lead, Russell Tomas to talk about their ongoing project.We discussed everything from what they learned from their first failed Kickstarter to what the $40,000 they're asking for is going to be allocated for.
Hey, guess what? There are going to be new football games released over the coming months. While most of us will be looking forward to the release of big titles like FIFA 2013, PES 2013, and Football Manager 2013, there is a world of football games outside of these "big three".
2016 has been another wonderful year when it comes to film. Just like I did last year (2015 Television, 2015 Video games), I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite films of the year. Enjoy :D Sing Street Directed By: John Carney I'm a John Carney fan.
Here it is; the game you have anxiously been waiting for finally has a demo out. You wait for it to finish downloading and you boot it up. You see the title screen and for the next 15-30 minutes you sit playing the latest and greatest in the gaming industry.
At the time of writing, Activision Blizzard are having their newest investor call. While the company are reporting healthy numbers throughout all of their properties (Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Destiny - See Below), one game has helped Blizzard have their best quarter in history. That game is Overwatch.

I love Batman. When I was younger, Batman was a huge part of my life. Whenever we played during recess in school, I would always pretend to be the caped crusader. When I would get home, I'd immediately sit down at the kitchen table and do my homework so when Batman: The Animated Series came on, I could glue myself to the television.
My car has ran out of gas. I quickly hop out into The Great White. I make my way up a hill to a camp inhabited by a band of War Boys. I take them out one by one; counter after counter; heavy chain hit after heavy chain hit. I find a canister of gasoline. I bring it back to my car and refuel. Yes. This is good. This should be enough to get me back to camp. This could have been Mad Max.
It's been eight years since Iron Man introduced us to what would become the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since then, we've had over ten(!) films dealing with these comic book super heroes. From The Avengers to Thor, each one of these films saw our heroes working together to stop the looming threat of a powerful enemy.
When 4A Games' Metro 2033 came out back in early 2010, I was presently surprised. The game achieved a great balancing act of story, gameplay, and presentation. It introduced new gameplay mechanics that I had never seen before in a game (many of which carry over into Last Light), and there were some genuinely tense moments throughout.
"Hello friends." Those are the opening words spoken by the great Jim Nantz that greet new players of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14. The game then immediately goes into a cinematic that introduces the player to a bunch of new features PGA Tour 14 has to offer, and let me tell you something ...
Rating:When you consider the stealth genre, one series stands above all the rest: the Metal Gear series, which has been gracing consoles ever since its original release on MSX and NES in 1987. The early games were revolutionary for their time thanks to their stealth and puzzle mechanics, and understandably wowed gamers.

For today's episode, the gang is joined by Elise Hernke of the blog Inglorious Baguettes (https://ingloriousbaguettes.com/)! We discuss who we feel would be our ideal cast for a Hollywood adaptation of the Tiger King docuseries, guess how much different movies cost to make, and talk about some of the different celebrity sightings and meetings that we've had over the years (good and...well, awkward).
"On this episode of Pop Culturally Insensitive (PCI) the guys discuss everything they've been up to. We've got two episodes for you this week! On part one we talk about ANT-MAN and all of the other movies we've been watching.
