Back in my high-school days I spent many a morning watching the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, something I still enjoy to this day and many a lunch time playing the card game with friends. There has been no shortage of Yu-Gi-Oh! video games over the years, some really good, some pretty terrible. Back in 2015 we saw Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist … Read More

Ever since it dropped on Netflix back in 2016, Stranger Things has exploded in popularity and become it’s own pop culture phenomenon. So much so that I count down the days leading up to the drop of a new season and binge watch the lot of it as soon as I’m able to. But this year, along with the launch … Read More
