    • Why you should watch Braindead

      06/02/2017
      Originally posted by Matthew Stanton Let’s get this out of the way first, Braindead is weird. One part political thriller, one part science fiction and one part quirky satirical comedy. It’s one of those shows that I discovered entirely by accident yet ended up being one of my favorite...

    • Telltale Games And What They’re Doing Wrong

      07/09/2016
      Telltale. Telltale, Telltale, Telltale. My oh my, what a developer you are. It still baffles me to this day how incredibly incapable you are at evolving past The Walking Dead. You haven’t even bothered to change the art style, let alone the gameplay and tone of your games. It...
