Live Tweeting Spoiler Alert!
Live tweeting is a recent phenomenon wherein actors in our favourite shows (or even sometimes the production company) will tweet along with each episode. Now don't get me wrong, I totally understand the idea behind it. The stars of the show join in with the fans, watching along and commenting on the events as they happen. However, I always find something a little bit off about it.

Why Marvel’s Daredevil is the Perfect Place to Introduce the Punisher into the MCU
Word of warning: there may be some spoilers for season 1 of Daredevil in here. Season 2 of Daredevil is upon us and if season 1 is anything to go by, it is going to be good. Daredevil was a huge success for both Marvel and Netflix. I even know quite a few people who got a Netflix account exclusively to watch the show. The 13 episode timeframe allowed the story to develop at a steady pace. The writers obviously had a clear idea of how they wanted to tell the story and stuck to their guns. The Kingpin was a huge part of the series (with an incredible performance from Vincent D'Onofrio) and he was not introduced on screen until the very end of episode 3. His presence was certainly felt and his story almost mirrored Matt Murdock's. Both men seek to save their city, but they have very different ideas about how to do this. With the Kingpin behind bars (for now, you know what TV shows are like) where could the show go from here?

Could the 'Final Fantasy 7' Remake Be THE Definitive Version of the Game?
Word of warning: there may be some spoilers that people may wish to avoid. Right, I've been playing Final Fantasy 7 again of late, mainly since the remake was announced and it has got me thinking. I've been thinking about how the remake could be the best possible version of the game.

How Marvel Planned for the MCU in the 90s
I mentioned in my last article (yes it was a long time ago! I am slacking!) about how Marvel had a number of great animated series in the 90s and how they were all connected in their own shared universe. Basically I wanted to expand on that idea here.

#ThrowbackThursday 90s Comic Book Cartoons
Okay, so I've been slacking a bit lately on the writing front, sorry about that. Right, onto business. The 90s were a magical time, a time when the world seemed much simpler, no smartphones, no Facebook, no Twitter. Much of the technology we take for granted today was the stuff of science fiction. It was also my childhood (which could explain why it seemed so magical). There were many things to enjoy about the 90s but what I want to talk about today are the simply amazing superhero cartoons that were around at the time.

Spider-Man is Joining the MCU: Could We See Him In An Avengers Post-Credits Scene?
Spider-Man is finally coming home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, pretty much anybody who has looked at my twitter feed for more than 5 minutes (if it even takes THAT long) will have worked out that this news makes me a very happy Alex indeed.

Fact Or Fantasy?: 'Final Fantasy' Producer Addresses 6 Popular Fan Theories About The Video Game Series
The Final Fantasy series is one of the most successful video game series of all time. Stretching across 15 main series games and countless spin-offs, the series has became one of the leading forces in RPGs. One of the most unique elements of the series is the fact that each game features a new cast of characters in a new world, and as such, the series is constantly evolving and experimenting with new systems.

How The Music Of 'Final Fantasy' Inspires Me When I'm Feeling Down
The Grammys are upon us, so the team here at Creators Media have challenged us to write about music (which is quite funny as my last article was about music too!). We've been challenged to write about a particular song that resonates with a seminal moment in our lives. However, I'm not the most exciting of people, nor am I a big music guy, so when I thought about a particular song and a certain moment, it didn't go so well.

The 5 Weirdest Mini-Games In All Of Gaming History
Mini-games have been around for almost as long as video games themselves, going all the way back to the original Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros. 3 in the 1980s. They give players a chance to experience a game within a game, changing up the regular gameplay for a quick breather.

A 'Ghostbusters' Fan Has Made the 'Ghostbusters 3' We Actually Wanted!
Ghostbusters is upon us, and the general feelings towards this latest reboot are very mixed. Many fans are split between being excited for the new film or being totally, unequivocally against it. Whether you like it or not, Paul Feig's reboot is about to be released. This reboot is unrelated to the 1984 original and is instead a totally new story with new characters (though the original cast do have cameos). Ghostbusters 3 was something that was talked about for many years, but sadly, it never came to be.
