It’s Not An Action Movie Trailer, It’s A Taylor Swift Music Video
Yannick’s beloved Taylor Swift doles out weapons to every woman she knows and walks about in slow motion in her music video for “Bad Blood”, narrated by Kendrick Lamar. It’s about a dozen different movies I’d like to see set to a song that’s not quite as catchy as the other ones I’ve heard. Maybe…

CultureLost Planet Toys Are Better Than Most Lost Planet Games
Before the folks at Toy Notch got in touch with me about checking out their latest figures, I had nearly forgotten that Capcom’s Lost Planet series was a thing. This is how they remind me.

UncategorizedThere’s Metal Gear Solid Hiding In This Week’s My Little Pony
Apparently Snake’s box hiding box isn’t as fool-proof as we thought. Even Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima managed to spot it. It’s no secret the makers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic love their video game references, like last year’s BioShock Infinite Easter egg. And this isn’t the first time Metal Gear Solid…

After years of dealing with the stamina restrictions and constant rotation of powerful paid content in the mobile version of Puzzle & Dragons, the pay once, play forever structure of Puzzle & Dragons Z for the Nintendo 3DS sounded like a dream.
