Living in the shadow of its more popular video game, virtual reality compatible counterpart, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter was very underwhelming. Lacking the backbone of already established characters from the videogames to carry it through its playtime, this spineless monstrosity flopped with fans more than a lickers tounge. One good thing about this ideration…

Putting 2 Hour Delay Frustrations In Perspective
In the distant past, the 1970s, schools functioned much differently than they do today.

Ryan’s Metal Reviews: Third Progressive Masterpiece of “The Stage”
“Sunny Disposition” is the third track of Avenged Sevenfold’s recent album, The Stage.

Ryan’s Metal Reviews: Avenged Sevenfold’s “The Stage” Part II
Well, Avenged Sevenfold’s album released earlier this fall, and there was misleading info about this album prior to its release.

Trying to Watch Greatness in the Super Bowl
For Steelers fans, watching this Super Bowl might be especially hard as Tom Brady looks for a unprecedented 5th Super Bowl win. I feel as if there might be a lot of stress eating at different parties just hoping that Brady finds a way to lose this game. But seeing him completely dominate almost every…
