I’m going to start off by getting the obvious out of the way: no, ‘Father.IO’ has nothing to do with fatherhood. It is instead your typical FPS game with good guys (humans) and bad guys (evolved), but with an AR twist. Read More

Kickstarter Alert: Greg Weisman’s ‘Rain of the Ghosts’ Audio Play
Greg Weisman is a name near and dear to my heart. I religiously watched ‘Gargoyles’ in my younger years, truly enjoying the world painted before me. In recent years I quickly became addicted to ‘Young Justice.’ It had a take on the DC Universe that I wish was the main voice in the comics. Read More
