David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz are two of the producers of Sam Hargrave’s Matchbox: The Movie, an adaptation of the popular Mattel IP of the same name. They now run Hollywood’s biggest media conglomerate, Skydance, a company that owns some of the country’s most significant assets and makes Disney’s acquisition of the 20th Century library seem tame by comparison. There’s lots
Read MoreI look forward to Steam Next Fest segments whenever they appear throughout the year. While my Steam Deck is not my favorite console/handheld, I will give props to Steam itself for hosting so many games with demos available. It gives us all a chance to check out games coming out soon and things far in the future. I played well over
Read MoreWar has always been a rough foundation for stories about suffering, ambition, and the collapse of humanity, but in Valor Mortis, it is something more. The game takes those ideas, twists their meaning, and makes them much darker. Valor Mortis is set in an alternate Napoleonic era of France in a nineteenth-century world where soldiers, the military, and the empire are
Read MoreThe Simpsons Halloween specials were yearly traditions for me growing up. In syndication, there were always marathons of the collected episodes up to that point. I’ve probably watched the horror shorts in the first eight The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror episodes more than individual episodes.

What

Editor’s Note: Small, independent websites like this one need all the support we can get to survive. Sharing articles, liking, commenting on posts, viewing and sharing the YouTube videos and
Read MoreAncient ruins, abandoned settlements, forgotten civilizations, and landscapes swallowed by supernatural corruption all suggest an adventure game set in a world with its own history. The challenge, however, is turning that atmosphere into something more unique and meaningful than another open-world filled with side quests and repetitive waves of enemies. With Enshrouded, we find that quickly by playing a game that
Read MoreDC’s Clayface is a character I’ve loved since childhood. There was something incredibly cool about a villain with shape-shifting abilities like the T-1000 from Terminator 2, plus the ability to manipulate his enemies through acting. Not to mention, Clayface had a truly tragic backstory that made him sympathetic. He was always my favorite from the 1990s animated series. DC didn’t really
Read MoreWicker isn’t exactly one of those films that’s easy to pin down or theorize what it may be like after your first glance at the logline. Is it more absurdist comedy or does it lean more towards the dramedy realm of things? Is it straight zingers surrounding its central concept, or does there exist an inner earnestness to it all? The
