The Force Will Soon Awaken
Are you ready to desperately want to be a Jedi again/still? Star Wars Episode VII is coming soon (December 17 in the UK) and we know little about it so far, aside from rumours and speculation. So here’s some more! I could babble on and on about it for ages,…

Tips For Your Trip To Space
Space hates you and wants you dead. It’s a harsh and unforgiving place, much like the internet. If you go there, you might die. I don’t have the stats, but I’m going to hazard a guess that there’s more chance of you dying than not. Nevertheless, good luck out there!

The Galaxy Needs KOTOR III
A long time ago, not too far far from here, I picked up a gaming magazine of long forgotten origin. This was before I had decent internet or knew how much content I could find therein. Within the glossy pages that made a nasty creaky, squeaky noise against my thumbnail,…

Why Frozen Is So Overrated
This article/rant was originally written for Uproar Comics. I know it’s been a long time since Frozen came out, but I still hear about it almost every damn day. First of all, I want to be clear: I did not hate Frozen. It’s fine. It’s okay. It’s decent. But that’s…
