‘It’s Just Pressing Buttons’

As someone who has played video games for most of my life, I have heard a lot of things revolving around the subject of how games take no level of skill. Which spiked ever higher once ESPN began their e-Sports channel. The most memorable of these moments were as I stood behind the bar and […]

Are Doctors Fatphobic?

Here we go, a post that is bound to turn some heads as it is a topic that is riddled with discrimination and people’s own views on body positivity/shaming. Now it would be idiotic and close minded of me to say that all doctors are either fatphobic or not, as they are a large group […]

DOCTOR WHO: The Writers’ Playground

So, like any British nerd, I have sat down on Saturday nights while growing up and start to jump up and down in my seat as the theme for Doctor Who filled my living room. And like many sources of huge fandom, I have had mixed feelings towards different seasons, episodes or even moments of […]

Justice League 2021

Now, I’m not sure how many people are aware of the recent news that the long awaited ‘Snyder Cut’ of JUSTICE LEAGUE is set to release in the coming year. For those excited for this new release I’m sure that it will be a great watch for you as there has been countless posts, YouTube […]

Can We Stop the Hate About Robert Pattinson?

The nerd world has been inundated with the news that Robert Pattinson is ‘refusing’ to work out for his role in 2021’s upcoming The Batman. A lot of fans have been rising to the internet to complain about this, now this in itself is irritating for many reasons but one of the main ones being […]

Batman Begins with his Best

Okay, so there are several essays, blog posts, twitter streaks and people at comic-con talking about how Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy is a feat of cinema that ‘will never be matched.’ And everyone is aware of a certain incarnation of a clown by the sadly late Heath Ledger, that caused for the first Oscar […]

STAR WARS: Rise of Expectations

One of the biggest causes of disappointed in modern cinema seems to be purely fan expectation, take any multi-movie franchise and see what happened when a film isn’t as good as expected. The world goes insane calling the director, actors, writers, or just anyone involved the ‘Ruiners’ of their favourite films. None more so than […]

Ubisoft and Their “Sexism”

Now, in the terrible situation of Covid-19 a lot of events have been cancelled all over the world, and with no place to show the likes of video games Ubisoft has officially announced Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. I’m very excited for this instalment of the franchise as I have been a huge fan of the series, […]

The True Hero in Lord of the Rings

Now, the wondrous world of Middle Earth is something that most people who are living today will thankfully have some sort of knowledge of. With the fellowship of heroes travelling from the Shire to Mordor to fight against evil in a mighty battle, to then have it all unravelled by the forced trilogy of Hobbit […]

Superman and his video game curse

As an avid player of superhero video games there is one hero who has had a handful of outings under his name with being able to reach the levels of other characters. The man of steel himself, he has had many short comings when it comes to reviews with the best titles that have him […]

STAR WARS: A New Review

This post come with a heavy heart, as I am STAR WARS fan, spent my life pretending an empty roll of wrapping paper is a lightsaber and my unwitting sisters are the Sith of the household. I’m also aware that this is going to cause a lot of trouble and drama if any original trilogy […]

Supernatural: Non-Toxic Masculinity

For those who have not seen Supernatural then firstly, you’re doing yourself a major injustice as it is one of the best genre shows to be released in the 21st Century. It didn’t necessarily start that way, go back to the first season and it’s a monster-a-week type of show, the two brothers show up, […]

Captain America: Trilogy of Friendship

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a lot of films and storylines to go through, some characters being shown in their own films or the likes of Hulk who has his story arc go over several other films instead of his own. This post will be about Captain America, if it wasn’t obvious from the title, […]

Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 Review

After a seemingly endless two year wait after the game’s announcement at 2016’s E3, Insomniac’s Spider-Man PS4 has finally been released. This time following an original story with no connection to the current film, tv or comic book continuities of the red and blue web-slinger. With a focus on a Spider-Man and Peter Parker story […]

To Tip or Not to Tip

After a recent holiday to the North American, maple-flavoured country that is Canada. The birth place of both Wolverine and Deadpool. While there the conversation of tips appeared on more than one occasion and to the ears of those across the Atlantic the idea of a bartender only rarely being tipped seemed to be almost […]

Small Village Pubs

First thing to realise is that a local pub in a small English village is a vastly different place compared to a pub on the corner of some town’s high street. Yes, there are similarities, because a pub is still a pub. However, there are less bachelorette parties and more mud covered dogs, with their […]

What Makes a Good Villain?

Gone are the days of thinking that a good villain must spin in a chair and be expecting the hero to show up. As well as the days of evil laughs and overcomplicated plans. Now we follow the Villains that have an argument that can almost sway the audience to side with them, the ones […]

Tobey, Andrew and Tom

There are have been three iterations of my favourite superhero since the turn of the century. and a lot of people tend to have their own opinion of which is the best film franchise and/or film. They also tend to have their own choice of favourite Spidey for differing reasons and this will be my […]

We Don’t Need a Reason to not Serve a Drink

It’s about time I write another post about bartending, this one will simply be about the misconception that we need a reason to stop serving someone. Saying that, 99% of all times someone is refused service in a pub is due to whether someone is too drunk, or they’ve been abusive to staff etc. But […]

Video Games Haven’t Changed

Much anyway, they have changed from the days of pong to now the abundance of video games available for anyone to lose themselves to for hours on end. This is more about the argument heard whenever I try to talk to anyone who doesn’t play games and they only say how games nowadays only consist […]
