December 13th simply cannot come soon enough. With this new (third) trailer, we see much that we’ve already seen in the previous two trailers. However, we are given more tidbits that we haven’t seen or heard—tidbits that maintain our excitement for the upcoming film. We at first hear Bard reciting an adaptation of the song…
Give me the Dark Wizard sign-up sheet. Please. Give it to me now. Alright. In all sincerity, I do not actually want to become a Dark Wizard. Becoming a Dark Wizard would involve being evil and all that. And being evil would not at all help my “good guy” image. However, if being a Dark Wizard…
Two sides are at war. Battles are televised. Interviews with each side are televised. You watch them. You hang on to every word. But you don’t really know, deep down, who to trust. You don’t know who the real enemy is. You only know what your parents tell you, and what their parents told them.…

Let’s talk about the pros of the idea, then the cons of the reality. Ouya, An “Oh, Yeah!” Idea The television gaming universe…
The Lord of the Rings. If you’ve never read the trilogy, you’ve at least seen Peter Jackson’s film adaptations. If you haven’t seen the films, you’ve at least heard of them. However, you may not have heard of two spectacular fan films, created by fans, for fans. The first of the two fan films is The…
The Wii U is arguably the greatest flop in Nintendo history, released six years after Nintendo’s greatest success story, the Nintendo Wii. While the Nintendo DS has sold more units, Nintendo has profited more by the Wii due to its higher price. However, Wii U sales have been lackluster by comparison. Yesterday, it was announced that…
