Our Favorite Books, Games and Movies

A list of all the media we recommend and enjoy.

Our (Not so Official) Definitive Marvel/ DC Movie and Television Timeline

Like many of you may be, I’m the quite the fan of all the latest DC and Marvel big screen adaptations. Initially I viewed them as generic, and often tedious, action flicks. But now I see them for what they are. The expansive universe of comics brought to the main stream.

However it can often be confusing when it comes to what shows/ films to watch, and in what order. So I’ve compiled a list, rooted in official timelines, with a few personal choices used to tie everything up in a neat bow.

Spyro, Depression and Nostalgia

For people with depression it can often be hard, “to feel good.” Some people have massive lows and then a few ups, while others, because of various chemical imbalances, may never feel TRULY happy ever again. Some turn to medication, others recreational drugs and many more just struggle through unaided.

Why I’m Now Sold on VR

For me, video games are both my favorite past time and my future career. It is a medium that I feel I connect with both as a consumer and a creator. So I want to play the latest and greatest both to have fun and to learn what techniques other developers are utilizing. Because of all this I often end up being an early adopter.

Pyre is the Future of Books

Books once provided the only outlet for quality storytelling, but now with the rise of Netflix, films and games, they just can’t capture people’s imagination like they once did.

Disappointing Sequels: Red Dead Redemption 2

This was a really interesting piece to write. I took part in one of Goombastomp’s group articles, an opinion piece about sequels that have disappointed us. I was about 25 hours into Red Dead 2 at this point and was relatively harsh. However since then I’ve finished the game and it’s epilogue, and well, my opinion has changed somewhat.

Apocalypse Boy: Short Story

Jacob grey

July 15^th 2010

I dreamed of a burning world. The flames of suffering licked at humanity’s heart. Billions of lives extinguished in a millisecond never to return.  Showering the world in an eternal blanket of ashes, leaving only the memory of life. Images flashed before my eyes, too fast for my mind to grasp any meaning from. Then nothing……..total blackness engulfed me.
