Legacy of King's Quest In Modern Gaming
There are some game series that really change the way that gamers experience their hobby. Zork, being the first text-based RPG, was one of the first programs to allow people to play games on a real computer rather than an arcade machine or a video game set.

'Alien: Covenant' Movie Review
Presenting one of the most iconic and recognisable monsters in film history, the Alien franchise has, for the most part, delivered some of the scarier sci-fi moments on the big screen. After two decades of absence, the Xenomorph takes centre stage once again in a prequel hell-bent on delivering what the fans have wanted.

Why the Channel 'NowThis Nerd' is Doomed to Fail
I know a lot of people are angry about the launch of the "new" YouTube channel, NowThis Nerd, and I want to explain to those who don't understand why that is the case. In 2013, Philip DeFranco launched a channel called SourcefedNERD, where hosts Steve, Meg and Trisha spoke about everything nerd related. The topics ranged from TV shows to movies to comic books to board games, and over the years the lists of hosts and personalities grew. This past year SourcefedNERD celebrated their 1 millionth subscriber. Then on March 20th, it was announced that Group Nine Media decided that SourcefedNERD would be cancelled. The final video on the channel was released on March 24th and that was the end of it.

Canadian Mental Health Association Discusses '13 Reasons Why'
13 Reasons Why continues to generate a lot of discussion for all who might be involved in watching it, and with good reason. It's believed that on the plus side, 13 Reasons Why has generated a lot of discussion about teen mental health challenges and suicide, but that perhaps there are other issues that we should be more wary of when watching the show.

Nightmare on Elm Street Documentary Screams for Recognition of Gay Rights Struggle
To Roman Chimienti, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge thoroughly awoke his nascent horror movies undertone. So while the second installment slashed the shallow plot lines of the genre (and siblings such as Jason Voorhees and Michael Meyers), this Freddy Krueger's depth had a lot to do with the film's real shock value. But there were still far more laying beneath - and only one thoroughly invested demographic picked up on the subversive gay rights subtext.

Best NES Video Games
The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), named by IGN the greatest video game console in history, is absolute video gaming royalty, along with all the NES games. Spawning blockbuster franchises like Super Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid and Zelda, they still have huge fan bases today. The classic 8-bit graphics make you really how the console must have felt so state of the art in 1983. Luckily for NES fans, the NES Classic Mini was released at the end of 2016 with all of the classic NES games to relive those memories, or see where these huge titles first began.

Best Graphic Novels Ever Written
The graphic novel as we know it started as the comic boom medium elevated to a new level near the start of the 1980s. Starting as just longer comics, the graphic novels emerging around this time set the trend for the future of the medium: elevated characterization, deeper stories, original voices unshackled by the constraints of the comic book industry, and art work that could be at once breathtaking, beautiful, enigmatic, and grotesque. The graphic novels from genesis to the modern day all shared these qualities, but, naturally, there were some comics that took a stand above all others, rising to the highest echelon of the comic book medium--the greats among greats.
