We've gotten a few different gaming chairs over 2017, some were of awesome quality and some were lacking, but ultimately a lot of them were kind of the same. Recently we received a couple from Respawn that don't quite fit the normal mold of a gaming chair.

It was announced in late September that the series wouldn't be getting a second season renewal well before Spike's evolution into The Paramount Network this January, and anyone who read my "revaps" (review/recap) of the first five episodes would know that the news comes as absolutely no surprise to me. Not that the series didn't have[...]

One of the last subscription boxes to come to my doorstep this year was from the awesome people at Geek Fuel. Considering the previous boxes I'd received, I was kind of interested to see what they had in store for a December subscription box.

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Back in 2012 Pitch Perfect showed up on the scene during the height of the High School Musical and Glee teen singing craze of films What was most novel about it was that it was fresh, smartly written (at least as far as most 21st century comedies tend to go), had some fun song[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Batman #37 from DC Comics by Tom King, Clay Mann, Jordie Bellaire and Clayton Cowles is a book that astonishes purely in that it is not what I would ever be expecting to get out of a Batman story It's bright, sweet, light-hearted, and filled with humour Yes, that's right — all these things[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle doesn't take advantage of its premise, instead going for lazy lowbrow humor and not much else. Director: Jake Kasdan Summary: Four teenagers discover an old video game console and are literally drawn into the game's jungle setting, becoming the adult avatars they chose. There are a lot of good things that have[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a strong return to form for the canon entries into the Star Wars pantheon After a tepid first outing by Disney with Episode VII and the heartbreaking passing of Carrie Fisher, there has been concern in how Rian Johnson would be able to pull it all together[...]
