Ten Superheroes Who Deserve Triple-A Games
In the world of video games, a Triple-A game is a game considered to be of high quality due to it having the highest possible budgets for development and marketing. 2018 has seen the release of some great Triple-A video games and has even more highly anticipated ones yet to be released. One of this year’s most successful Triple-A games (both critically and commercially) is Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4 Pro. The game has been praised for its stellar storytelling, smooth mechanics, and spot-on characterization of the titular Web Head.

Introduction: From the Maze
Suffocation. Upon waking up in a stream of utter darkness and rattling, clanking sounds that’s all I could feel. It sounded like an elevator, or a loud screech, then I hear nothing and then I feel the floor below me lifting up. The darkness becomes wary, enough to the point that I can kind of get a better grasp of what is around me, every 5 seconds I can see a sudden white light shining in and a small buzzing noise as we pass by it.

Is Disney Thanos?
On July 27, 2018 Disney confirmed its 71.3 billion dollar merger with Fox Studios. Across the globe, beloved geeks, nerds, and comic book lovers danced and cheered as the merger means that the Fantastic Four might finally get a good film adaption and the X-Men can take their rightful place alongside the Avengers in the MCU! But while that is all good for the fans, I am here to discuss why acquiring these two IP's may have cost us more than we bargained for.

Why Does Everyone Like this Loud, Rude, Bully?
I’ve spent a majority of my life watching anime. It’s one of my longest running hobbies; it’s something that I really enjoy digging down into and discussing about on different levels of the show, characters, scenery, art, and more. I’m not afraid to tell people that I am very egotistical and pretentious most of the time with my own opinions and shows that I talk about, which is why I love engaging in conversation. So I want to start writing more about things like this, and I figure I can start off with a bang—literally—talking about a character named Bakugou Katsuki.

Reason First: The Case for Romanticism in the Cinema
Hollywood has figured out that there is an untapped audience yearning to see stories that reflect their lives up on the big screen. People flock to the movies to see the latest incarnation of super heroes or opioid addicts. But there is another set. This faction of the populace is tired of the putrid offerings that the mainstream studios produce every year. These people are earnest, smartworking, faith-filled Americans who just want to forego all of the blood and guts and gutter language and sexual situations. They seek out arts and entertainment that will bring them back to their roots or charge them to continue going down their faithful pathway. They seek to view wholesome, family-oriented entertainment. What is the response? Movies like Courageous (2011) God’s Not Dead (2014) I Can Only Imagine (2018) and God Bless the Broken Road (2018) are often low-budget ($2-$5 million) and take in considerable returns usually around $50 million- $80 million.

Who Is Captain Marvel Anyway?
Likely you saw the promotional stills released by Entertainment Weekly for Captain Marvel, the next hero being added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But what you may be asking yourself is "who is Captain Marvel?" or "wasn't Captain Marvel a guy?", possibly "I thought they were a DC character anyway" and perhaps even "what if I never find true love?" because I don't know, there's probably more going on in your life than just questions about a comic book movie.

How Using a VPN Could Speed Up Your Gameplay and Save Your ‘Life’
Lag is a killer. Yeah, I know it’s not the most compelling of public service announcements, but if you play games seriously, you must have felt the frustration of watching a screen full of intense action freeze for just long enough to get you fragged—usually by something you would’ve seen coming if your network hadn’t glitched.

'Bojack Horseman' - Why I Love It and You Should Too
Bojack Horseman is my current favourite series. It could (and should) be yours too. Having finished off Westworld season two, and knowing that the next season of ANYTHING was a year away, I needed something new and exciting to watch during the ‘movie drought’ this summer.

'Beauty and the Beast' Review
Belle (about the Beast): He's no monster, Gaston. YOU ARE! Beware: Spoilers may follow If I ever had to pick the best movie of the Disney Renaissance, this would probably be it. It was the first animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture and for good reason. Everything about this movie is just great. It brings about the same emotion that early Disney films brought to the point that I'm invested so much that I'm not even questioning some of the obvious plot holes in the movie staring in front of me.
