The Nintendo Switch Is Fantastic
Let's just get this out of the way: Nintendo is a frustrating company. For every good move they make, it seems like they take a couple steps back. They don't understand the internet, they have a goldmine on their hands with the Virtual Console but they don't maximize their profits like they could. Then there was the Wii U, which died an excruciating death.

Darby Burl's No Bullshit Reviews: Wonder Woman
Let's look past the fact that battle armor that don't cover your keister is as ‘bout as useful as tits on a bull. And the fact that a black-haired Amazonian on an island of warrior women ain't got no fuzzle in her underpits.

Legend of the Ghost Lion for the NES
Known in Japan as White Lion Densetsu, and based on a movie of the same name, Ghost Lion is a really cool NES RPG. This game’s mechanics are odd in comparison to other RPGs of the time, and odd in comparison with just about any other RPGs, truthfully.

Author of the Month
I'm very excited to announce my first author of the month will be the Wattpad sensation, Madeline Stanford. I've long since been a fan of her books, ever since she joined Wattpad back in 2014. She has since won the Hot Key Books & Wattpad Young Writer's prize, as well as collecting a following 10,000 people strong. Her fiction ranges from the Vicious Depths trilogy [also known as Like Hell on Wattpad] which is now available for purchase on Amazon, to her other Wattpad novel, A Door to Nowhere, a moving coming of age tale. I've been very lucky to get to chat with her, especially with how busy she is! Here's what she had to say.

The Medusa Model 47
Be honest, you've got a zombie survival plan. Even if you aren't one of those doomsday preppers, or a fan of The Walking Dead, you've had this discussion with friends or co-workers at some point. From barricading yourself into Wal-Mart, to making a break for your cabin in the woods where isolation will protect you from the shambling hordes, everyone has their own idea of what they'll do to avoid becoming the Monday special on the zombie buffet.

'Lifted by the Great Nothing' by Karim Dimechkie
'Then there was the checkout lady who had dry yellow hair that sat like a triangle of foam on her head and the kind of heavy glasses that seemed responsible for her nasal voice as she commented on the items she scanned with superlative enthusiasm: "these are just the best ever.....isn't this the most amazing....oh my God, these are my favorite in the entire universe." She leaned in close to thank Max before handing him his receipt. her breath smelled of a mixture of white wine, rot, and babies' heads."

The Major Flaw in Amy's Plan in 'Gone Girl'
Alright, so recently I decided to watch the movie Gone Girl. I was actually pretty excited to watch this movie seeing as it was a thriller and contained Neil Patrick Harris in it. Yes, I am aware the movie came out in 2014 and I am now finally getting around to watching it. I guess, I just never really found an interest in it until now. So, my boyfriend and I laid down and proceeded to watch the movie which, by the way, is almost two hours and thirty minutes. It took us two days to watch it since we were not aware of this going into it.

App Review: "Applike"
So, I'm sure by now, anyone who's gone through a game and has had to sit through a commercial or an ad to get that bonus boost has seen the commercial for it. The little star, bouncing around between games and across the on-screen text to a boppin' beat that you can't help but want to download, claiming that you can make money from something as simple as playing games!

The Best Anime You've Never Heard Of
Back in the first decade of this century, a little known director (Koichi Mashimo) and a little known studio (Bee Train) teamed up to create a triquel of anime series which have affectionately become known as the 'Girls with Guns' trilogy. The first series of this trilogy was the 2001 series Noir while the last entry into the series was 2007's El Cazador de la Bruja. Arguably the best series in the trilogy, however, is a little known action series from 2004 simply titled Madlax. Melding the unlikely trio of mental trauma, the metaphysical, and civil war as its central themes, Madlax defied the odds by telling an amazing story from start to finish and created lifelong fans of the title in the process.
