W.T.F. Japan? The Most Bizarre Anime Ever
Because there are so many genres in anime, every story is different. Many are original, some are confusing, but mainly they’re always entertaining. Then you get the shows that make you feel like you’re tripping your balls off or just very, very high… seriously. You can’t tell what the hell’s going on, the colors, the lights, the weird characters, the bizarre plot… These are the shows that make you think, “What the f*%# is this shit?”. You don't know whether to run like hell or keep watching to see if it eventually makes sense.

10 Forgotten Superheroes
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-man, Iron Man, Captain America and the Incredible Hulk are but a few on a long list of world renowned superheroes, who are recognized in the most remote parts of the world. But even with an explosive rise in popularity in the genre, there are still a few superheroes that, while once popular in their time, have been practically forgotten over the years. Be they characters from Pulp Magazines, TV series, Animation or Comics, time and underexposure has sadly caused the general audience to forget about these superheroes and their thrilling adventures. Here are ten superheroes that have been mostly forgotten, and deserve to be remembered.

7 Downloaded Apps I Can't Live Without
1. Facebook Some people may argue that Facebook is dead, but practically everyone I know still uses it, at least to check it. Social media websites are quick to be adapted by the younger generations, but even my parents use Facebook, making it a hub for my cross-generation communication. It is my first choice in making a uniting group page and the business I work for remains active on it. Dead? Facebook is still my number one social network.

The History of Warren Publishing
Warren Publishing ran from 1957 to 1983, it was founded by James Warren in Philadelphia PA. He later moved his company to New York in 1965. Warren specialized in Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction magazines. Warren published other genre magazines focusing on different subject matter such as teen romance or adult humor. There were two things that set Warren apart from other comics. First they were sold in a larger format than regular comics thus classifying them as magazines. Second, Warren exempted his publications from the now defect Comic Code Authority. This allowed the writers and artist to inject more mature content into the stories. This included some coarse language, violence, sexual situations and nudity. These two factors helped Warren reach an adult audience.

Top Ten: Comic Book Movies!
Comic books. They have for the better part of the century been the fodder for films. But what are the best of these? With the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Wonder Woman making trucks full of money, we’ve decided to countdown our top ten comic book films! But what oh what were our rules? Well, first the movie had to be based on a comic book, graphic novel, or manga. Now, this does include things like A History of Violence and V For Vendetta. We didn’t just cater to the superheroes on this one! Secondly, we’re disqualifying 2017 releases. So even though Wonder Woman is a fantastic film worth your money it won’t be on here. And lastly, each list we received had ten films on it, each film was given a point total corresponding with their position (movie ten got one point, movie one receives 10 points etc.). So without further ado, it’s clobberin’ time!

Saddest Deaths in the Harry Potter Series
J.K. Rowling, the literary genius behind the Harry Potter series has a talent for writing tragic death scenes. As any true Harry Potter fan knows, the series is full of sadness. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was an absolute bloodbath. I still get emotional when I think of how some of these characters passed away. You would think in a fantasy magical world there would be an easy way to prevent death or to bring people back to life, but there isn't. We all know how using Horcruxes worked out for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Rowling seems to have enjoyed making her readers cry because the deaths in the series are absolutely gut-wrenching. Here's a reminder of the most upsetting deaths in Harry Potter, in case you had forgotten what it was like to cry. WARNING: this post includes spoilers!

Shows, Movies, and Games that Scared Me When I Was Young
When I was young, I was a fluttery child. I wasn't into being thrilled, at least not as much as today, where dark humor is the build of my comedy. Though you may say "This isn't scary!", but remember that I was practically a total wuss at a young age. By the way, these topics aren't in any particular order, and contain some spoilers!
