Walking Dead Issue #100

Spoilers throughout! If you are reading this then you have either heard of the Walking Dead series or you are morbidly fascinated by zombies.  Being there are a video game, a TV show, and an extensive comic book series I am going to assume you have knowledge of the series.  The most recent issue of this epic series it the milestone #100.  It is the longest issue to date and Robert Kirkman has pointed out it is one of the most violent and disturbing issues to date.  Having read this issue I have to agree...to a point.  It is extremely violent, for a couple of pages.  Not the explosive violence we saw in...

Retrofix: SpaceBalls

“Keep firing, assholes!” could be one of the greatest lines written in film, especially for a gamer. How many times have you played Call of Duty or Halo or whatever and been on a team with that guy with the LMG who shoots at EVERYTHING? When that happens, I almost always shout this line over the mic at them. Thanks to Mel Brooks and his brilliant 1987 comedy, Spaceballs, I can keep this line in my online gaming verbal abuse arsenal. Brooks, known for his over-the-top comedy spoofs, is a god in my eyes for creating this film. As a nerd, film lover, and comedy enthusiast, this could be one of the most perfect movies in creation for me. He hilariously...

Project M Character Analysis: Charizard

Continuing on our path down the roster of Project M, we come to Charizard, now without a trainer and with a couple of new tricks up his...wing.  The team over at the Project M site have focused a lot more on Charizard's secondary Flying type in their reworking of his moveset.  Charizard keeps the (admittedly coincidental) theme of strong aerial games in our looks at Project M thus far.  Even though he is a large character, he is very mobile, with a quick run speed on the ground and a host of viable options in the air.  Your focus with Charizard is going to be keeping your foes in the air, so let's have a look at how we...

WWE Raw Wrapup 7/9/2012

A week out from Money in the Bank - Last night, Impact Wrestling crowned Austin Aries the new World Champion on one of the best PPV shows of the year.  Tonight, we see how WWE treats the lead in to what was their most important show last year. As expected, we get a recap of last week and AJ putting the WWE Champion CM Punk and Daniel Bryan through a table to end the show.  AJ's apparent psychosis has fully taken charge in this storyline, leaving the WWE Title secondary.  This is a key mistake WWE has made for far too long - In this particular case, we may see a good pay off, as Punk and Bryan will put on a great show and...

WWE Smackdown Lowdown 7/3/12

Night two of Teddy Long as General Manager - We're at three tag matches for the week just from Raw.  I can only imagine we see a few more.  Tonight, we'll see a battle royal to determine next week's GM.  We'll start the show with a backstage party with the Divas in bikinis and some visual jokes with Hornswoggle.  Teddy Long comes in in his apron and says that everyone can make a mess, because Eve will be cleaning up.  Long introduces Santino Marella, the United States Champion and he kicks off the BBQ, but can't get the grill to light.  Kane steps in and all goes silent, then he does his usual pyro motion, igniting...
