Just this weekend Maryland hosted the Gaming Tournament Pound. It was supposed to be a weekend of good fun, cheering for your favorite player and watching people get salty over the smallest things. But this time it was different. After a very tense matchup between Juan “Hungrybox” DeBiedma and Joseph “Mango” Marquez (Fan favorite) after 5 sets and Hungrybox claiming the victory a crazy fan hurled a dead crab at Hungrybox. Thankfully it didn’t hit him, check it out in the video below. Now as someone who attends these events, I have to say that this is a very first…

Now I have been apart of consoles since Atari. Sitting back and playing Pong, Qbert, etc. for hours without really understanding. So you know I have seen The Dreamcast, N64, Playstation, Xbox, you get the gist of it. And I was completely blown away when the PS2 came out and it was backwards compatible, meaning I can still play all my original Playstation games. Then the PS3 came and it was backwards compatible. . . .AT FIRST. Then slowly it died away and so did my dreams of actually playing my beloved Final Fantasy Tactics. Sigh. Yes I am completely…

The world cried on April 15th as one of the most famous landmarks Notre Dame burned into the night. Firefighters worked tirelessly to try and save the structure. It left a lot of questions as to why. And after this horrid event a French millionaire stepped forward and donated over a 100 million euros to the reconstruction of this 800 year old French Gothic cathedral, and yes she will be rebuilt as close as possible to her original glory. Right away architects have been busying themselves trying to find anything resources to help them build this masterpiece. And where would…

There are only a few animes in my repertoire that I will tell anyone and everyone they need to go see. Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Soultake, etc. But I will now add “My Roommate is a cat” to the list. This lovely anime first got its start as a manga created by Minatsuki. It currently has five volumes out and I sincerely hope there are more to come. Originally it was released back in 2015, and finally received its anime adaptation this year (To watch you need Crunchyroll or sneaky friends). Our lead character is someone I think most…

As a rabid fan of 90s anime, I’ve been quite skeptical upon hearing that there was going to be a Netflix live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. Cowboy Bebop was created by manga writer Cain Kuga and the anime adaptation was directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. The anime is a futuristic western noir flare with bounty hunters. Trust me it’s worth it to watch. You’ll love each of the characters, even Ein the lovable corgi. Recently they have announced Mustafa Shakir (Jet Black) Daniella Pineda (Faye Valentine) and Alex Hassell (Viscious) as part of the cast. But even bigger news this…

My favorite Superhero was created 80 years ago. Yes the legendary Batman! As I reported before, more exciting news was going to be dropped, starting at Wondercon this past weekend. To kick off his 80th birthday with a bang DC’s very own publisher and chief creative officer Jim Lee told the crowd that Batman would be the inaugural inductee to the Comic-Con Museums Character Hall of Fame in a very special momentous ceremony happening this year at San Diego Comic-Con. At the  Batman 80th Birthday Panel this year which included some big star names who have helped bring Batman to…

Whether you are into Yaoi or not, you’ve heard about it if you are apart of anime culture. And if by chance you have Crunchyroll for the last several years you may have heard of a title called “Love Stage”. It is the anime adaptation of the manga created by Eiki Eiki of the same name. It’s a boys love anime about our main protagonist who’s name is Izumi Sena, he’s an otaku who comes from a very popular family. His father is a famous singer, his mother a famous actress, heck even his older brother is from a super…

Let’s face it people, we all have anime characters we get attached to. Here we are minding our own business and all of a sudden BAM they die, or a series of our favorite characters die. I dunno about you, but there are some that have still messed me up and I think about to this day. Here is to the good days where our characters survived. And having them die on us was not an option at all. As always there are spoilers here, so please don’t blame me for ruining any of these for you. 10. Nicholas D.…

This year a special Princess that my big sister loves with her whole heart turns the big 3-0. That’s right The Little Mermaid celebrates their 30th birthday this year. Seems like yesterday that my parents took my siblings and I to go to the movie store to pick up that classic VHS. I distinctly remember my sister and I trying to be mermaids. Now that I’m older I appreciate the movie, but I’m always going to be a bigger fan of Sleeping Beauty. Just recently Torrid has released that it will be releasing their own line of clothing for the…
