Tease Me, Baby! – Ender’s Game

Tease Me, Baby! – Ender’s Game

Friends, Doomites, countrymen and women and those of other countries as well, let us discuss Ender’s Game. I first read Ender’s Game about fifteen years ago. It was suggested by a friend and I had little to no expectations from it, as the two of us did not always share the same tastes in entertainment. Imagine my surprise then, when I got a story of a young boy who, in order to stop himself from … Read entire article »

Review: Doctor Who – Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

Mint in Box Showcase – Nerf Rebelle

Nerf kicks butt, we can all agree on that, but what happens when girls want to take to the battlefield? Nerf do not currently offer any lines specifically tailored towards the fairer sex but what if that changed? This autumn sees the release of an all-new brand; Nerf Rebelle and foam-based combat just got a whole lot prettier. ---------------------- Attention campers: Leave a comment below, or post on our new community forums! … Read entire article »

Mint in Box Preview: Power Rangers 20th Anniversary

Mint in Box Preview: Power Rangers 20th Anniversary

Power Rangers is twenty years old this year. I’m going to let that sink in. Feeling old? Yeah, me too… But that won’t stop me loving the franchise. Granted I don’t religiously watch every season or buy stuff as readily as I do with Transformers (Which celebrates its 30th Anniversary next year. Yeah, feeling real old right now) but I will always have a fondness for Power Rangers because they were my first superheroes, long … Read entire article »

Review: Doctor Who – The Snowmen

Review: Doctor Who – The Snowmen

I’ve been having trouble writing this article for a number of reasons. This episode is damn near perfect in terms of character but lacking in villains. Sure there are villains, some incredible talent for that matter, but they seem so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things because all we really want to see is an hour of the Doctor and Clara and Vastra and Jenny and STRAX! Another Christmas, another adaptation of a Christmas classic, … Read entire article »

Taking cues from previous lines, LoC introduces us to an all new world of adventure with warring factions, amazing battles … Read entire article »

Tease Me, Baby! – Pacific Rim

Tease Me, Baby! – Pacific Rim

Remember last year how the GI Joe: Retaliation trailer was like an early Christmas present, offering us a glimpse of the action adventure that STILL HASN’T APPEARED! Well this year, we got one that’s even better than The Rock and Bruce Willis. Seriously, it’s way better. Let’s go fishing for goodies in the Pacific Rim! It should be no surprise that along with all manner of giant robots, I also have a fondness for giant monsters … Read entire article »

Tease Me, Baby – Man of Steel

Tease Me, Baby – Man of Steel

When it comes to this article, me and Aaron often nip off to the STRATUS hangars to duke it out with “borrowed” mecha until one is left a smoking pile of parts and the other, the victor. Or we call dibs, whichever we feel like on that day. Why is that relevant, you ask? Because we got a new Man of Steel trailer and you can guess where this bit is going… I called dibs. HA! … Read entire article »
