Review: Neverwinter Tales – The Legend of Drizzt
Look, I enjoy the Forgotten Realms as much as your average D&D enthusiast, but I’ve always found Drizzt Do’urden to be an exceptionally dull character.

Review: COPS: Wildest Chases
Cops: Wildest Chases showcases some of the most insane pursuits from the 2013/14 season and reminds you that our fine nation is populated with entertaining idiots who think they can get away from the boys in blue. … read more
Review: Gunnerkrigg Court – Volume 1
Its kind of funny to go back through the early events of this now-epic webcomic and see just how much it has changed and grown over the last decade. Volume 1 collects the first 14 chapters of the series, and even over the course of the book, Sidell’s art style and storytelling matures considerably. … read more
Review: American Sniper
While American Sniper is an excellently crafted film about the lonely road that all true heroes must walk, it’s the story that took place behind the scenes that makes the film so much more important. … read more
