SECOND OPINION: Game of Thrones: Season 6 – Ep. 2 “Home”
Following a quiet premiere, GoT fans received a seriously intense episode that rivals those of seasons past. Bran is still hanging with the Three-Eyed Raven who has begun to show him glimpses into his family’s past.

Game of Thrones Finally Recovers
Yes, after last week’s episode (which is growing on me now), this show has finally managed to get me back into it. Admittedly, I had to watch it twice to get there, but I got there. And it’s great.

The Best Dragons in Gaming
In the past few years, it’s safe to say that dragons have become cool again in mainstream culture. To be fair, most sci-fi and fantasy fans never had a problem with dragons to begin with, but the fascinating mythical beasts are enjoying perhaps an unprecedented wave of exposure. While Christopher Paolini’s Eragon book series (which…
