Review by Matt S. Nostalgia’s a tricky beast. Not only do you need to tap into the memories and emotional response that people have to the thing you’re waxing nostalgic about, but you need to do so in a way that doesn’t also capture all its problems. And when you…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. The Hyperdimension Neptunia series is polarising: A small niche of fans love it. Most don’t get it. Most only see it for fan service and nonsense. So I thought I would do a video looking at what it is about this series that I love. So…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt C. Gal*Gun: Double Peace was a much smarter game than most people gave it credit for. It was trashy—and I don’t mean that pejoratively—but through that B-grade tone it achieved a pointed satire of a lot of common tropes seen in anime and games. Gal*Gun 2 has…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m going to start this review by referencing Piko-Taro… and you thought that his 15 seconds of fame was over and everyone was sane again. See, what is so great, and so hilarious about PPNP is the fundamental absurdity of mashing two completely unrelated things together.…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. Anyone who grew up in the 90’s will surely remember Power Rangers. I know I loved it when I was a kid. I owned action figures, clothes, VHS tapes, and, of course, the video games. I was a huge fan. Back then I was too young…
