Even with the popularity of the Lego video games, the panel for “Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” seemed like it might be out of place on the main stage at New York Comic Con. After all, a few hours later the cast of “The Walking Dead” would be on the same stage. But the Lego…
While there is room for personal preference, I don’t think I’d be stepping on too many toes by saying Tommy Oliver is the most popular “Power Rangers” character of all time. He’s donned multiple colors (green, white, black and red twice) while leading story lines in multiple seasons. So when Jason David Frank, the actor…

Among Marvel’s ongoing harshest criticisms, which are just a few petty issues considering their repetitive successes, involves their lack of noteworthy villains (Loki and Winter Soldier aside). While not every film can’t have a Heath Ledger Joker, most of Marvel’s villains are as disposable and hollow as paper cups. We’ve all seen them make a…
Sherlock Holmes arrived at New York Comic Con on Friday in the form of a panel for the CBS hit show, “Elementary.” But the panel, like the season three premiere that was screened for those in attendance, focused on the eternal sidekick, Watson. Stars Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller were there along with newcomer…
Benedict Cumberbatch has already won our hearts with his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, and now he will be taking on a role in yet another classic, much-loved story, The Jungle Book. Cumberbatch proved his ability to play a villain in Stark Trek: Into Darkness, and now he will fittingly be playing another notorious villain called…
Trying to dissect immersion in a video gaming can be like writing an analysis of a comedian’s humor. By identifying and picking apart the little magic threads that turn disparate parts into a unified, (hopefully) enjoyable whole, you risk losing some of the finished product’s charm. Of course, these aren’t entirely accurate comparisons, since analyzing…
Whatever happened to art that just looks pretty? No offense to postmodernism (and, to its credit, it can be visually striking), but it’s hardly the Hudson River School (look it up) or the Michelangelo (if you need to look him up, go back to school) of the art world. Though, to be fair, Michelangelo wasn’t…

Swiss university ECAL (also spelled éc al and stands for École cantonale d’art de Lausanne) merged an iPhone with IKEA items in order to create new ways of playing video games. The project is called OpenControllers, whose primary mastermind is Marc Dubois. In the blurb that…

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t0A_tZGrYw] It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a new original film from Pixar, as they have been focusing…
This week, Google updated its Google Maps Street View functionality to include some breathtaking views of thoroughfares you have likely not traveled: the ancient sands of the Liwa Desert located in the United Arab Emirates. The images, which look like something out of Star Wars, were taken about 100 km south of the Persian Gulf and provide for some excellent other-worldly…
An odd form of identity theft is emerging, taking the form of a prank. According to PCMag, the threat of downloading mobile apps from legitimate sources can carry Trojans. When downloading seemingly innocent mobile apps that have malicious components, the risk lies in using text messages after the fact. The cited source, which is the…
