At the first day of RTX 2015, I had the opportunity to interview Ian from The Behemoth, asking him some intriguing questions about The Behemoth’s new game Pit People. Pit People, which was previously named Video Game 4 because it is the developers fourth game, was an absolute blast to play.   I sat down and played a 30-40 minute demo of the first segment of the game.

  On their 40th anniversary tour, Rush came to Dallas with energy and a set that ran the gamut of their career.

  The action movie genre’s former glory with classics such as The Dark Knight, T2, and The Matrix has vanished, filled to the brim instead with cheap remakes and sequels nobody wanted or asked for. The last couple movies I’ve seen have left me disappointed and bitter, angry that millions of dollars were spent to create a work so mediocre it...
Bent metal, stunning visuals, and heart racing gameplay: Few words can describe the sheer amount of detail put into Project CARS, a racing simulator developed by Slightly Mad Studios. At first glance, the game would appear to have been made by a major publisher's developers such as EA or Ubisoft. However, the reality is that Project CARS was developed by a small team whose origins can be traced back...

In an attempt to further the Podcasts variety and knockout some Star Wars news at the same time. The Jesuit Podcast recruits the help of 3 Jedi masters of Theology and a High Councilor in order to bring balance to the force. This unlikely crew attempts to answer questions regarding Star War's social impact and its impact on their...
So, let’s spend some time talking about the new Fantastic Four trailer. The first words ever spoken on the trailer are “Dr. Storm.” We see him placed in front of what looks like a board of directors, and that board is berating him for not delivering on whatever he promised them. It’s revealed that this partnership started six years...
