Some monumental plot development this week on the History Channel’s Vikings. Ragnar’s home is attacked by Earl Haraldson. What begins as a quiet morning, with Athelstan gutting fish and the people of the village doing their daily chores, turns into a massacre. Ragnar, who left to hide in the woods, […]
Btooom!: Explosions, More Explosions, and…?
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEV16SObPZY] Anime set in a virtual reality world aren’t new: take series like .hack//SIGN, Sword Art Online, and Accel World, for example. The characters are taken from the comfort of the “real world” and placed into the game space itself. A death of a character, once a meaningless hurdle, is […]
Vikings: Trial Recap
I’ve been trying to write up a review for Vikings for a while now, caught in between hectic schedules and furious emotions, this is sadly the first one. So for those of you just tuning in, this is a show that is pretty easy to understand and yet, I think, […]
Pebble is the Coolest Watch Ever
Imagine a watch that connects to your phone via Bluetooth. A watch that can control your music, track how many miles you have run or biked, tells you the weather; a watch where you can view your text messages and e-mails, where you can see when someone’s calling, and where […]
Psycho-Pass: A Lesson in Morality
It doesn’t matter if you’re into anime or not. Psycho-Pass should be something you watch. Although I can’t say it’ll ever reach Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z proportions in terms of westernization, Psycho-Pass doesn’t need that. This is an anime worth watching for its themes, its content, and its […]
The Walking Dead: Prey Recap
It’s apparently flashback Sunday! Not only did Once Upon A Time feature a bunch of flashbacks to the early days of Storybrooke but The Walking Dead begins with a flashback to Michonne and Andrea’s days together. Except it’s not really a nice, happy flashback because this is the Walking Dead […]
From Up on Poppy Hill is Charming, but with a Twist!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-vfzhfq5JA] While I’ve seen almost every Studio Ghibli film—you know, the animation studio that brought you films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle—I never got around to watching From Up on Poppy Hill. It’s the most recent release and, more importantly, Hayao Miyazaki’s son, Goro Miyazaki, directed the film. […]
The Following Continues onto Chapter Two
Second week, second episode and so much seems to have happened since the Following premiered last Monday. Warning if you’re not into spoilers, do not venture forward! Maggie Grace is dead, a naked woman stabbed herself, James Purefoy kidnapped his own son, puppies are dead, romantic tensions are abound […]
Swing Into Temple Run 2
I love Temple Run. It’s one of my favorite mobile games and it was one of the first games I downloaded when I got my new iPhone this past December. I can spend hours wasting time running the gauntlet while chased by creepy bird monkey things. So when I heard […]
Nothing Can Compare To How I Feel About The Fringe Finale
You all probably know about my feelings on Fringe. It is, without a doubt, hands down, one of my favorite science fiction shows of all time, and definitely my current favorite. And last night, on January 18th, Fox premiered it’s final episode of the science fiction television show. It’s […]
