NOTE: Major spoilers ahead. Also, not that this is not a normal review, and so its style may not reflect what you’re used to from Sci-Fi Bloggers. It would be more appropriate to consider this a “theorist” article of sorts. That said, continue reading if you’ve already seen the first episode of The Leftovers, season two. If…
I want to believe. I want to believe that season nine of The X-Files never happened. I recently bought the entire series off of Amazon for a bargain! My girlfriend had never really watched the show so I’ve been using her as an excuse to blast my way through classic X-Files episodes from the very beginning. She…
Wild Arms 2 is the sequel to the massively popular Wild Arms. The original alone was an impressive feat, considering it stood in the shadow of RPG giants like Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior. The game’s developers, recognizing the elements that made Wild Arms an underground hit, kept many details unaltered. The Wild West atmosphere, the…
The interesting thing about science fiction is that its futuristic settings can provide insight into humanity’s most ancient questions. Just what does it mean to be civilized? What parts of us do we condone to define ourselves as “civilized” in our society? Just who are we, really? A common thread in science fiction stories is…
The second issue of (formerly) Nightwing’s new series, Grayson, seems to prove that Issue One was not a complete fluke, much to my surprise and grudging approval. The first one still stands above the second in terms of making every panel count; despite the fact that the first chapter was shorter by two pages, it felt like…
The first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is out and, I know this is going to sound surprising/annoying, but I though it just “all right.” What I mean by this is, the movie doesn’t just look “okay,” nor does look “great,” and only potentially “good,” thus, “all right.” I don’t know, maybe it’s because I grew up…
This week’s Friday Fiction won’t be released until later today, so, for now, you’re just going to have to be satisfied with this. Okay, so let me start by saying I don’t hate the entire Transformers series. The first one was good, the second one was awful, and the third one was somewhere in the middle (we’ll…
I’ll be honest, I’ve forgotten how old I was when I first heard of Will Wright’s dream game, Spore. I remember being very young, and very excited. I remember digging through the internet, trying to find every scrap of information I could about the game, watching the full hour long Leipzig demo over and over,…
Back in the day, BioWare was known for bringing original concepts to life in the gaming medium. With titles like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, MDK2 and Jade Empire, we can see that risks were taken in the old days, and that the company was willing try new things, whether they succeeded or not, so long…
