UncategorizedCivilization V Meets True Detective? I Did Not See That Coming.
Some mash ups make complete sense. This is not one of them.

UncategorizedTitanfall, Attack On Titan, Same Difference.
Not everyone gets to ride inside the anime’s titans, and we can’t crunch people in half with the video game’s giant mechs, but in both cases we would if we could. Polariscalls this video a mash up, but it just feels like natural progression to me.

The Saturday Morning Stream: Diablo III: Reaper Of Souls (Stream Over)
I haven’t played much Diablo III since I reviewed the initial release back in 2012. It was nice and solid and Diablo-esque, but it didn’t capture my attention the way earlier games in the series had. Does the Reaper of Souls expansion change that? Watch and find out. Or just read on a bit. The…
