Who Is The Arkham Knight?

Who Is The Arkham Knight? The game's release is still several months away but with every new trailer and tidbit of information we get a bigger and better picture of it is painted. One of the bigger reveals was the introduction of the Arkham Knight character. The developers are saying he is a new character to the Batman universe. However, being a typical media consumer, I know there is something that Rocksteady is keeping secret to protect the...

The Weekly Pull : Star Wars

The Weekly Pull : Star Wars After 24 years under the Dark Horse publishing banner, Star Wars finally returns home to Marvel. Although a seasoned Star Wars fan from a very early age, I didn’t begin following the comic series until January 2006, with the release of Knights of the Old Republic. From there, Rebellion, Legacy, Dark Times and Invasion all became staples on my pull list, expanding my knowledge of the Star Wars mythos from 3948 BBY...

The Best $10 We've Ever Spent (Mature Content 17+)

The Best $10 We've Ever Spent (Mature Content 17+) If there is one thing you have probably noticed about Pop and I, mostly me, is that we are HUGE Nintendo fans. I think Pop is more of a Microsoft guy in general, but this past year, Nintendo has been the company to offer the type of games we enjoy playing on a regular basis. Recently, there was a Nintendo Direct, which finally announced the release of the NEW 3DS XL for the United States....

Top Five Most Funded Kickstarter Projects

Top Five Most Funded Kickstarter Projects Kickstarter has become a unique tool for anyone who is looking to create something but may not have the funding or backing to bring that idea to life. The creator shares his or her idea on this social media platform and then normal everyday people are able to donate any amount of money they see fit to help the idea become reality. Sometimes the creator offers rewards depending on the amount of money...

The Weekly Pull : The Astonishing Ant-Man

The Weekly Pull : The Astonishing Ant-Man Much like the Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man has never been a huge power player in the Marvel Universe. At least not before getting the cinematic treatment and the best writing teams in the business. I love that Marvel has the courage to branch out and give their lesser known heroes a chance to shine in the spotlight, and the risk has shown significant reward. Characters like Rocket Raccoon, Falcon,...

Why We Hate Minecraft (17+ Mature Content)

Why We Hate Minecraft (17+ Mature Content) There comes a point in time in a gamer's life where you stoop to a level that you never thought you would...Mom 'N Pop Co-Op reached that point the other day when we popped in Minecraft. It isn't as if we don't understand the hype behind this "literally on every flipping platform" low-bit game. It's a world where you get to waste time collecting, building, creating....eating...pork. lots o'pork... Realistically...

The Weekly Pull : The Superior Iron Man

The Weekly Pull : The Superior Iron Man My initial post for this weeks edition of 'The Weekly Pull' was a review on Marvel's newly resurrected Ant-Man series. However, upon reading, I discovered that there was a strong underlying connection to Tom Taylor and Yildiray Cinar's Superior Iron Man run and felt a little back tracking was necessary this week for both myself and the loyal readers into the life of Tony Stark ... I'll be the first...

Find the "D" in this Mysterious Game

Find the "D" in this Mysterious Game So, Pop and I decided to take on something outside the cute co-op games we typically bring to the table. Dark Dreams Don't Die (Xbox One) is kind of like a Telltale Games "point and click" adventure. Along with sitting through pages of dialogue, you tell your character what to interact with and choose what to say to other characters. It is most definitely a story-driven title and you will get sucked in...

How to Get Your "Bae" to Play Video Games

How to Get Your "Bae" to Play Video Games It has been a couple weeks since Pop and I have started a new series, and we couldn't be more excited to finally have the time to do so! The holidays always interrupt everyone's extracurriculars and we are no different! But alas, some new games have released and we are going to do our best to include some of the most popular on our show this year. People who prefer to sit alongside a pal or two and...
