X-Men ’97 has brought back the beloved animated series with a fresh twist, and the third episode, “Fire Made Flesh”, delivers an intense rollercoaster of revelations and confrontations.  From the shocking reveal of Jean Grey’s true identity to the emergence of sinister plots, this episode keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. One of the most striking aspects of “Fire Made Flesh” is the revelation that Jean Grey is actually a clone. The emotional impact of this reveal is palpable as we, the audience, grapple with not only questions but also the implications. Was Jean ever real? Wh ..read more

The X-Men have always been a core part of who I am. From spending every Saturday afternoon watching X-Men: The Animated Series and collecting silver, bronze and modern age X-Men comics, to then immersing myself in the live action films and other animated projects, such as X-Men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men, you could say I was hooked. I was so obsessed that I even wrote numerous fan-fiction stories. In fact, my love for the X-Men, specifically that of Cyclops and Jean Grey, runs so deep that I spent most of my first paycheck buying premium format character statues to adorn my future ..read more

Immersion is one of the big things all gamers are chasing. If we look at the graphics of games, it’s pretty clear we’ve come leaps and bounds from what we had in the 80s and even as early as the 2010s. However I feel that we’ve reached a plateau in graphics as we’re finally at the point, thanks to things like Ray Tracing, where games are looking like real life. So if graphics aren’t improving as rapidly, what can we turn to to improve our immersion? Thanks to our friends at Samsung Australia, I was flown out to Sydney to get a hands on preview of some of the most immersive monitors I’ve ever s ..read more

When I first learnt about Oppenheimer, I was intrigued. As a history buff, I was curious to see a live-action depiction of the lead up and creation of the Atomic Bomb and the subsequent consequences its creators were forced to face. Having skipped trailers to avoid spoilers (because let’s face it, trailers these days leave little to the imagination), I’d assumed what I expected of the film would be what I’d end up seeing. While the film is predominantly about the creation of the most destructive nuclear bomb that single handedly wiped out Japan’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the film’s focus was m ..read more

Barbie’s impact endures and even manages to touch the hearts of those who may not have grown up with the iconic doll. As a young girl, pink was a colour I couldn’t stand and playing with ‘girly’ dolls was the last thing I wanted to do. You see, I was a tomboy through and through, having spent most of my formative years around four bachelor uncles. While my friends had Barbies, I had the Power Rangers and instead of wanting to become a successful woman one day, I only had one goal in mind: to become the next Red Ranger. Fast forward three decades of coming into myself and a live-action Barbie ..read more
