Baseball card RPG, putting old cards to good use
I’m sure I’m not alone in the group of kids that collected baseball cards in the 80s/90s with hopes of cashing them in 20 years later so you could retire. Funny thing is that never happened. The baseball cards from about 1982 to 1995 are probably some of the most worthless cards ever produced…because they [...]
The status quo of event comics
For those of you unaware of the phrase, status quo simply means the state of things in a normal, unaltered setting. If, on an average day, you spend your time working from home, watching internet videos, and cooking yourself some Ramen noodles because you’re a broke college student like me, that’s your status quo. Now, [...]
The future of animation, or Pixar always wins
If you’ve read any of my articles at the Red Shirt Crew, you probably already know that I can be quite cynical when it comes to the future of modern media. The video game industry seems poised for a crash, directors like Michael Bay keep getting handed other favourite childhood series to destroy, and turning [...]
My love affair with Rock Band
I was really bummed to hear that Rock Band was ceasing their DLC as of this month. I know the next gen consoles are right around the corner and all but Rock Band is by far the game in which I have invested the most money, sweat and tears, so to see that chapter come [...]

Some of them might seem a little “old fashioned” [...]

Dungeons, dragons and giant robots
A few years ago I was playing Dungeons & Dragons weekly with a group of friends. It was the first time I had really played D&D. I had a RPG-wannabe stage in junior high but never really sat to learn and play the game as it was intended…the most I did was have fun drawing [...]
Skylanders Giants 101, big fun for everyone
When my friend first told me about the Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure game, and how her nine year old son just loved playing it, I had no idea what it was. Then my son came back from my friend’s house saying that Skylanders was the best thing he’d ever played and that he really wanted it [...]
