Theatre Review: JERSEY BOYS at The Fabulous Fox – Oh, What a Night!
Some of the most fun musicals out there are jukebox musicals. You go to hear music that you love – while being entertained by a fun story that pieces all of the songs together. What I adore about Jersey Boys, the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, is that the musical lets the […]
PAX South 2020: Meet the*gameHERS, A Community For Women Gamers
When I first got an email from the*gameHERS about an interview at PAX South, I was a bit confused. I had to wonder why an all-female gaming group would want me to interview them. The usual assumptions crossed my mind. Could it have been an email blast to the media list? Could they have thought […]
Theatre Review: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER Will Have You Dying From Laughter
One of the funniest new shows of the past decade, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder has made its way to a local production in St. Louis. The story is based on the novel Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal written by Roy Horniman in 1907. Steven Lutvak (Music and Lyrics) and Robert L. […]
PAX South: THE ARCADE CREW – YOUNG SOULS & KUNAI
While I love huge epic games with realistic graphics, I’ve always had a soft spot for simple adventure and platformer games. Being born in the late 80’s, I was exposed to all of the first gaming systems on the market. My first console was a Sega Genesis, where I was hooked on games like Sonic […]
PAX South 2020: Hands-On With EVERSPACE 2
Everspace 2 is another game that got me really excited for PAX South. The first Everspace slipped past me when it was released, but I am so happy that I discovered and tested the sequel. I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi and starship combat games, and Everspace 2 hit ALL the right buttons. This […]
PAX South: WRATH: AEON OF RUIN Review
The second game we played at the 3D Realms booth was Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, by KillPixel Games. I originally hadn’t planned on testing this out, but I kept catching myself mesmerized by gamers blasting through waves of undead monstrosities. Wrath is a dark-fantasy horror FPS that lives in the same vein as Doom and […]
Michael Rapaport Talks Sports, Film, Politics Before Stopping at Helium Comedy Club in March
Actor, director, writer, producer, and podcaster Michael Rapaport can now add stand-up comedian to his repertoire. The 49-year-old New Yorker has nearly done it all. Odds are you recognize him from his role as Gary on the hit show Friends, or maybe his role as Dick Ritchie in True Romance. Rapaport has also lent his […]
PAX South 2020: GHOSTRUNNER Hands-On Review
Let me start by saying Ghostrunner is an extreme exercise in patience and strategy. This cyberpunk parkour game is a test of wits and will, all wrapped up in a beautiful sci-fi package. From the combination of One More Level Games, All In! Games, and 3D Realms, this game made a huge impact on the […]
PAX South 2020: OBEY ME Hands-On Review
Developed by Error 404 Game Studios and published by Blowfish Studios, Obey Me is labeled a cooperative “holy-punk brawler”. From the description and trailer, it seemed like a stylish modern version of Diablo. Being a huge fan of Diablo III and the quasi-religious setting in general, I was quick to add this to my list […]
