Warframe's "This is What You Are" is Helping Me Cope with Loss
We live, we love, we lose, and we move forth with our lives. It's an endless dance we will continue with it until our time for our final bow comes near. It's a dance that we've become all to familiar with no matter how painful it goes, no matter how bad we want to stop, and exit the floor. This is something recently I've had to come to terms with as my closest friend, my great grandfather, and the one man I wish I could aspire to be passed on moments after I saw him last.

'Call of Duty' is Returning to its Roots, but Where is the Franchise Going?
When #CallofDutyInfiniteWarfare was first revealed, the reveal trailer quickly became the #1 most disliked video on YouTube. Sitting just at over 3.5 million dislikes, Infinite Warfare sits as one of the top disliked videos even today, and it's because Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare didn't resonate well with its fans. However, what about it didn't resonate with fans? Well, the answer is quite simple - it's just not Call of Duty. It's a game that uses a formula that existed across two previous entries and even those struggled with the fan base due to the fast-paced combat.

The Nintendo Switch Just Re-innovated Gaming
As my clock ticks, I sit here with my PlayStation Vita on my desk to my left, my Nintendo 3DS to my right, and both my PlayStation 4 as well as my Xbox One to the front of me and behind me depending which way you are facing. You'd be impressed to notice the recent dust collection that has managed to grow metaphorically on my Wii U. It's a sight that no one should bare for a console that sought to re-innovate the way we see gaming. It's a console that wanted to evolve gaming in a manner of both interactivity and a way to separate our need for using a T.V. It's a console that managed to pull in fans who have spent hundreds of hours upon the device before it's untimely "death" seemed to happen.

Netflix Is Turning Gerard Way's 'Umbrella Academy' into a Show
With the success of Castlevania, which recently premiered on Netflix last Friday, the company has announced they are about to have another show hitting the air. The company has announced that they will be picking up the Dark Horse Comics series called The Umbrella Academy, which is a rather dark, twisted, and slightly comical take on the superhero genre. It's a series that was able to garnish critical appraise when it launched and shortly after took home an Eisner award (this is the comic-book version of the Oscars).
