Some superheroes change their costumes often, while others have costumes that stand the test of time and become iconic in and of themselves. Here are the top five superhero costumes that stand the test of time. (Note: slight cosmetic changes to costumes–like removing trunks or using a different shade of a color–will not be considered…
As technology hurtles us closer and closer to that Elysium/Star Wars/Terminator/Matrix future (yes, in that order), it also revolutionizes the world as we know it. Personally, I’m looking to having laser guns, and not the kind you use in laser tag (well, sort of like that, I guess) and blasters that go pew pew when…
“This guy keeps trying to kill me, and I don’t have a weapon.” – Britt Clifford, 23. Well, talk about a first world problem. No, it’s a not a 13-year old raging at his killstreak being cut off right before he could call in an airstrike in Call of Duty. Clifford’s avatar, the Debuante, was…
In our modern world, one of the most misused words regarding super-heroes is “relatable.” “Relatable” super-heroes are often confused with plausibility or realism and heroes often claimed to be relatable sometimes don’t live up to that mantle when examined more closely. For the purposes of this column, “relatable” is a trait that most readers would…
There is a whole world of voice actors and actresses that work in video games. While they don’t always get the attention that famous Hollywood actors do, they still have the talent and skill to give some amazing performances in the animated medium. Games like Mass Effect and the voice actors in Grand Theft Auto…
The Credo of Marathon: Move fast Seize the initiative Wield superior firepower Dive into the melee Anticipate enemy movements Slaughter the defenseless Endure Back before Bungie hit it off with the first Halo and became a household name, it was a little known company that made a variety of games almost exclusively for the Macintosh….
Arguably one of the TV’s saddest news last year was Futurama finally being killed off (for the second time). The show was rescued once by Comedy Central in 2008 after Fox originally canceled it in 2003. However, the wonderful animated sit-com did have a decent run with 7 season and 140 episodes. It just seems unfair that we couldn’t…
A few months ago, we honored the announcement of 2015’s Rise of the Tomb Raider, the newest entry in the popular Tomb Raider series, with a complete list of series star Lara Croft’s previous adventures. But the tomb raiding doesn’t stop there. In addition to the nine main titles are numerous spin-offs and tie-in installments, including…
It’s no secret that we’re all discreetly suspicious of robots soon taking over our tasks, our jobs, and the whole world soon after. Personally, I’m quite fond of my iRobot Roomba buzzing around, vacuuming my floor as I waltz around and play “hero” to my dog who sees it as a canine-thirsty contraption after her…
“Before there was thought, there was this place. One Earth. With a single history. But with the coming of man, came the illusion of free will. And with that illusion, came chaos. With every choice we make, we literally create a world. History branches in two, creating one Earth where we made the choice, and…
We’ve come along way since 1980, when 20 GB of storage space weighed 2 metric tons and cost the better part of a million dollars. One of the most recent advances in memory storage technology has been the change from traditional hard drives to flash memory, but memory may be set to take another great…
Thomas Was Alone is a bit of a strange game. It’s self described as a minimalist puzzle platformer about friendship and jumping. The jumping part isn’t terribly surprising, considering how it would be rather difficult to make a platformer without a means to move around, but the rest of the game is rather pleasantly surprising….
The release late last year of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One has led to a whole new generation of games this year and when it comes to the bestsellers list, it’s not just all about Call of Duty. The list for 2014 contains some really great titles including a casino slots game and…
This is not a spoiler. Okay, maybe a little one, but Felicia Day posted it on Twitter, so the Black Tabby Cat is out of its carrier. That’s right. Felicia Day has been filming on the set of Supernatural. Did you really think you had seen the last of Charlie Bradbury? The LARPing,…
“Sex and the City” may have ended its run back in 2004, but it had a lot to offer us ladies. (I would argue it still has a lot to offer, but that’s a different article for a different day.) If nothing else, Samantha, Miranda, Carrie and Charlotte taught us the value of female friendships….
