‘Big Hero 6’ TV Series To Debut On Disney XD In 2017

Disney Animation Studios has had some major success in the past. Almost all of them have been recognized for their work by the academy whether it was because of their song or just being a damn good animated film. And almost all of them have been given an animated short or even better, a sequel. Last year, Tangled got a TV series on the Disney Channel, and Frozen‘s success was reward with a sequel and a musical.
Now, it looks like Big Hero 6 will be getting the same treatment in terms of expanding the franchise. According to a new report, the film, which is a loose adaptation of the Marvel Comics’ title of the same name, have its own TV series that will debut on Disney Channel’s sister station, Disney XD.

‘Quantum Break’ Will Do Something Very New and It Has Some Gamers Worried

If you’re a fan of the first couple Max Payne games and Alan Wake, chances are you’re pretty excited about developer Remedy Entertainment’s new game, titled Quantum Break.
But we live in a strange time in the land of video games, a time in which different things are being tried and tested…sometimes with disastrous results. Remedy will be doing something very different with Quantum Break, and it’s sure to worry some who were excited about the game. But unlike things like not even bothering to make a single player campaign or withholding content to try to force pre-orders, Remedy’s decision to do this, for better or for worse, makes plenty of sense.

‘Finding Dory’ Trailer: Remember That One Time A Fish Swam Her Way Home

As beautifully animated as Finding Nemo was, the real star of the show was Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres), a regal blue tang fish whose memory lasted as long as she could swim. The character provided the humor in a story about a father searching for his son. But the film didn’t really explore how Dory ended up in Australian waters or how she became so forgetful. Flash forward to 2016, and we are getting a sequel called Finding Dory.
Disney•Pixar has just released a new trailer for the film that takes a look at Dory’s journey across the pacific in search for her family. Along the way we see familiar faces, meet new friends, and learn that aquatic animals don’t like to be poked or prodded by human fingers. Check out the full trailer below.

‘Legends Of The Hidden Temple,’ ‘Hey Arnold’ Returning To Nickelodeon
|

I loved the Nickelodeon game shows of the ’80s and ’90s such as Double Dare, G.U.T.S., Nick Arcade, Finders Keepers, and of course, Legends of the Hidden Temple. Most of them weren’t on the air all that long, but they still had a lasting impact on many people. This nostalgia was re-ignited when Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids (or Nick GAS for short) came along and brought reruns of these favorites with it, and plenty of episodes can still be found to this day on YouTube if the urge to watch them comes along.
But now, in a time where reviving old shows is the popular thing to be doing, it’s been announced that Nickelodeon will be revisiting some of their old favorites. The network has announced new projects based on the aforementioned Legends of the Hidden Temple and also one of their hit animated series, Hey Arnold!. The only catch is, it might not be the kind of revival you were hoping for.

Book Review: Pathfinder Tales: Pirate’s Prophecy

Pathfinder Tales: Pirate’s Prophecy
Softcover | Kindle
By Chris A. Jackson
Paizo Publishing | Tor Books
Release date: February 2, 2016
I’ll read almost anything. After working amongst books for the better part of two decades, being picky seems restrictive. So anytime the great folks here at Geeks of Doom offer me a book to review, I normally accept. Such was the case here, with Pathfinder Tales: Pirate’s Prophecy. This was my first journey into the Pathfinder franchise. Not to say I’m not familiar with it. I mean I know it’s an alternative game system to the D&D that I grew up with, but I’ve never played it, per se. However, I went into it expecting something akin to a role-playing game in prose form. Lucky for me, that’s essentially what I got!
I want to take a different approach with this review, though. I didn’t realize until halfway through the book that it was the third in a series. There were several scenes where I felt I was missing something and, truth be told, I was. So, I’ll review the storyline briefly but I want to talk about the content, as well. As I know next to nothing about the author, Chris A. Jackson, I shall not dwell too long on him at all.
