From The Redbox – Zero Dark Thirty

by Xopher Reed under WATCH on Apr 16th

When a movie comes from every major movie award season so critically praised, I immediately get my guard up…because I’ve realized something in the last couple of years. I really have a unique taste in cinema.

Doctor Who: The Rings of Akhaten [Review]

by kyle under WATCH on Apr 15th

This round of Doctor Who was good but ultimately forgettable as a whole, in spite of the memorable dialogue and ambiance contained.

Rambling Thoughts on the Walking Dead Season 3 Finale, Pssst. (Whatever)

by Ryan Thomason under WATCH on Mar 31st

I’m feeling rather indifferent after the Season 3 Finale. As someone who read the first compendium of The Walking Dead comic, I’ll be honest, I was expecting a bit more.

Another story arc ends, and while I’m saddened, I was just glad for new Adventure Time content while the TV show has been on a couple of week long break.

A Tomb Raider Retrospective

by Fatty The Hutt under READ on Mar 11th

The original Tomb Raider series is a puzzle based platformer. You could go hours at a time without seeing other people or animals. You were very alone and very isolated. When you did see someone or something it usually scared you so bad you had a heart attack. And there were actual tombs filled with puzzles.

AfterShokz Sportz M2 headset, Review

by Ryan Thomason under READ on Mar 3rd

I was excited, but skeptical, could they really work, especially for someone like myself that wears hearing aids? I should have been prepared with the outcome. First, I want to put some perspective on these headphones and where I’m coming at from my viewpoint and why I may have a totally different set of reasoning than people with normal hearing. If you don’t know me, I have moderate to profound hearing loss....
