Born to Game: Day 1 of Gen Con 2015 [EXTENDED ARTICLE]
Gen Con has the distinction of being the largest table top gaming Convention in North America, with a focus on board games, pen-and-paper, card games, and anything related to games that are not primarily played in the digital realm. (This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some cool tabletop games that take advantage of technology in their gameplay, but the technology isn’t required for the playing of most of the games.)

Beneath the Cowl: Seeing the Brilliance in Batman V. Superman [FILM EDITORIAL]
Without doubt, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the most Gothic comic book film since Alex Proyas’ The Crow with Brandon Lee. However, Batman V.
