pocketmortys review

Pokemon is a great thing. Rick and Morty is a great thing. I never thought they could ever combine. In fact, when news came out about the game, I thought it was a fan-made fantasy that wouldn’t ever get made. Yet here I am, pouring countless hours into it! Adult Swim and Big Pixel Studio surprised us with an early release of Pocket Mortys, a Pokemon style Rick and Morty RPG game. Originally set to release on January 14th, it was released a day early for Apple and Android user

destiny xur returns

Welcome back Guardians to this weekly edition of “What in the universe has XÃ»r brought to the tower for us?” XÃ»r is located on the west side of the tower at the very far railing which overlooks the city below. His inventory is comprised of some pretty nifty items that are from year one updated items and year two armor. As always, the following is my opinion based on playing with these exotics already. For all the Titans who still love being a Sunbreaker despite the balanci

league of legends week 1 day 1 eu lc

The first week of the LCS concluded with some extremely unusual picks. Jungle Graves was used in the EU LCS, and Zac made an appearance in the jungle as well. Poppy was picked to serve in the support role. Poppy was seen as a must pick or ban due to her very rewarding laning phase. On the NA side, there were more standard picks reminiscent of last season with Reksai, Nidalee, Elise, Lee Sin all seeing the jungle play. Tahm Kench was on the bench for many games. Out of the 10

Air Assault recipient, Andy “BionicWarVet” Toppin walked into the Exhibitor’s Hall of PAX South and knew this was going to be an amazing event he would remember for the rest of his life. “PAX South was AWESOME! I have never seen that much cool gaming stuff and great people in one place. From the second I walked in, I was amazed at how much was there,” said Andy. Walking past the Twitch booth where he would later give an interview with Founder, Stephen Machuga, Andy made his

dont starve surviving first 10 nights

Recently, I dove into the world of Don’t Starve. I have been curious about this game for a long time but had never actually played it. When I took the plunge, I found myself sucked in for hours! There was very little to guide me going in, so I was expecting it to be difficult but was surprised at the depth of the game. There is so much to do, and all of it is vital for your survival. After making it through the first 10 days a few times, I found a pattern in the tasks necessa

rogue state game review

The fate of your nation state falls squarely upon your shoulders. The revolution was a success, and now you must decide the policies while rebuilding the mighty Benji. If you love the civilization games and don’t mind some tough choices, this game is for you. I won’t lie, my hopes for this game were very low at the start. I laughed through most of the tutorial and actually had to restart because I missed key information. Right out of the gate, you feel like you might need a m

gaming saved my life

One of the first streaming teams to stand alongside Stack-Up.org was none other than the legendary League of Legends 2GArmy which is named in honor of their entertaining commander-in-chief, Mr. Tim “Trick2G” Foley. The 2GArmy consists of over 30 full time streamers, of which resides prior service Marine Lance Corporal Owen “MachineGunnerUSMC” Monahan. While Owen and Stack-Up founder Stephen Machuga originally hit it off over their shared love of metal music, they found they

I expected 13 Hours to be a lot of things. A conservative puff piece about liberal failings, a biased take on the varying situations in the Middle-East that paints a blanket “all Muslims are bad Muslims” story in a two-hour show, or another American Sniper that was just flat out racist propaganda. Is Michael Bay’s take on Benghazi any of things? Surprisingly”¦no. Let’s start this off right though: is 13 Hours a good movie? It’s mediocre as a film but probably the best modern

rocket league top 5 tips

There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to figure out how to play a game when the people you are playing against are just running you into the ground. Rocket League, like most games, takes time to work out your style of play, and I found a few tricks that helped me. 1. PLAY WITH A CONTROLLER If you are playing on PC, listen to the computer’s recommendations about using a controller, as it will make your life infinitely easier. Rocket League is so fast paced that trying t

We’ve got a Warning Order for those in the Los Angeles area from our LA Stack Lead, Kat Quinn. In the last two years, homelessness in the greater Los Angeles has grown by 12% in general (LA Times), and was already one of the largest homeless veteran communities in the United States. Just recently the City of Los Angeles declared a state of emergency on homelessness with as high as 20% of the homeless in Los Angeles being veterans (Los Angeles Almanac). With the specific inten

veteran issues in u s presidential debates

We are inching closer and closer to wrapping up the primary debate season, and many topics have been discussed from National Security, to immigration, Hillary Clinton’s emails, and Donald Trump’s temper. One of the biggest issues has been the question of whether the United States should send conventional and unconventional ground troops back into Iraq and into Syria with the hopes of pushing back ISIS. The use of the American military forces in political debates is hardly a n

Alejandro G. IÃ±Ã¡rritu won the Oscar last year for Best Motion Picture in regards to Birdman. Whatever I thought of the personal message of the movie, I did enjoy it from a point of cinematography and editing. From after my first screening of Birdman, I wanted to see what IÃ±Ã¡rritu could do with a genre film such as a western. How he would play with the landscape and portray the great old west on the canvas of a screen intrigued me. The Revenant is his swan song, better tha
