Should Old Grievances Be Forgot (A Silverlock Sisters Short Story)
(This story takes place after The Silverlock Sisters: Alien Hostage ) It was nearly the end of another year for Ruby Silverlock. And what a year it had been! The silver-haired teenager pondered over everything that she'd been through as she walked through the quiet forest her family lived close to. The air was chilly and the ground was covered in frost. Ruby was well prepared for the weather, wrapped up warm and snug in her thick black winter coat, red gloves and black walkin

2025: Year in Review
Whew, we're about to end another year already? Man time really is just an illusion these days... So 2025. What a year am I right? And when I say that, I don't necessarily mean it in a good way. While 2025 wasn't as bad as 2024, it still had a lot of bad things about it, especially considering certain people in power that I won't mention here. I want to keep things fun as we finish off 2025, so no need to delve into that stuff. This blog is about media, so let's talk about it.

My 10 Favourite Non-Disney Animated Films
I love animated films. When it comes to cinema, animation is my favourite form of art. Live-action films are cool in their own right, don't get me wrong, but animated films are always the best for me. Not only do they have no limits to what you can do, but they always tend to leave a more memorable impression for me and half the time, I feel animated films are better than most live-action films. Sometimes it feels as if animated films are more mature than live-action films to

The Wandering Fox's Favourite Christmas Films
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy and Teddy were getting themself well cosy under the Christmas tree, both fox and cat smiling as they had their warm drinks by their sides. There was no presents yet which meant they could have the tree to themselves. They watched the Wandering Fox come in with a few DVDs in hand. Freddy: Hey mate! What DVDs you got there?

Media Essays: Beast Boy and Raven: Individual Stories
Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy and Teddy were snoozing away in bed, too tired to get up after spending the night getting a bit tipsy with the drinks. The Wandering Fox smiled as he closed the door on them. I think we’ll let them be. Good day everybody. With the title you can see it’s about two of DC’s Titans. You know them, you love them, you know of their relationship with each other, it’s Beast Boy and Raven. Yes, I ship them, so what? I ain’t the only one XD But still

The Media Man Reviews: That Christmas
Who doesn't love a good Christmas film? It just never really feels like Christmas until you've put on a good holiday classic, eh? Whether it's a movie that makes you feel festive or takes you on an emotional roller-coaster ride, Christmas films are as much a holiday staple as putting up Christmas trees, wrapping up presents and eating Christmas dinner. Many Christmas films are timeless holiday classics, and many are corny festive guilty pleasures. Sadly, there's not a lot of

The Media Man Plays: Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC
I know, seems rather soon, doesn't it? Pokémon Legends Z-A has only just come out in October, and already we've got DLC to play for it? That's just nuts! As is, here we are with the Mega Dimension DLC expansion for Legends Z-A . Some may criticize GameFreak for announcing a DLC before the main game even released, but some also think this might be because Legends Z-A got pushed back a year and that the DLC was always meant to release this year while the main game was meant t

The Media Man Reviews: Zootropolis 2
Flippin' heck, time is just a blur these days. Seriously, how are we in a situation where I, the Media Man, am now here, on the blog, talking about a Zootropolis sequel?! I remember seeing the first movie back in 2016 when it came out! Unless you've been living in a cave all your life, you'll no doubt be very familiar with Zootropolis , or Zootopia as it's called everywhere else. Here in the UK, we called it Zootropolis due to some copyright thing in Europe regarding the n

Train Sim World 5: Thomas DLC Review
Written by Captain Conroy Suffice to say, 2025 has been a crazy year for us Thomas fans as we have celebrated the 80 th anniversary. We got to see the pilot which we thought was lost to time, all new merchandise, new lore has been revealed and the plethora of YouTubers making their own videos to celebrate, the list goes on. We even had some old scripts from Thomas’s fifth season amongst many other things like screen-used props and models go on auction and be purchased by fan

My Top 10 Favourite Robot Wars Robots
About time I did a Robot Wars post that isn't just related to recapping a machine's career. In case running this blog for so many years hasn't made it clear by now, I. LOVE. ROBOT WARS! This is by far my favourite show ever to come out of my home country of England, my favourite game show of all time, my favourite sports show (yes, robot combat is actually classed as a sport, LOOK IT UP!) and my favourite show that isn't fictional entertainment. Robot Wars was my jam growin

Media Essays: What If Kanto Got The Paldea Treatment?
Written by KivatheDCWizard Hello everyone, I’m the Passing-through Kamen Rider, and if it is cheesy I love it. As you know I’m a Pokémon fan, and I love the games. Now, the Paldea Region in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet allow us to face important opponents in a way that every type is countered. Between the Titan Pokémon, the Gym Leaders and the Star Bosses every type was represented. So I thought, why not a similar system for another region? What if aside from the Gym Leader

Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy and Teddy were busy writing out a few Christmas cards. The fox beamed over at Teddy. Freddy: Gonna sneak in a little love confession? Teddy: I d-don’t know, maybe. I gotta think of it. Freddy: I say you should, you gotta give her something other than Merry Christmas. Teddy: Yeah, but would she be interested? Freddy: You don’t know until you try. That you don’t guys. You don’t know until you try. It’s like watching a film or series or play

The Media Man Reviews: Frozen
How has it been TWELVE YEARS since this movie came out already?! I still remember watching it when it was brand new in cinemas back in 2013!!! Yes people, believe it or not, this year marks the 12th anniversary of Disney's biggest pop culture giant of the 2010's. That movie is none other than Frozen . Based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale The Snow Queen , Frozen was a movie that had been in the works for decades at the Walt Disney Company. And when I say decades, I

Media Essays: Pokémon Legends ZA vs. Pokémon Legends Arceus
This was inevitable. Go on, admit it, you all knew this post was coming. XD With two Legends games in the Pokémon franchise, it's inevitable that they're going to be compared to one another. Pokémon: Legends Arceus really defied all expectations for a Pokémon game and proved to be GameFreak's most experimental title to date. The game was met with critical acclaim from fans and critics alike and is considered possibly THE best Pokémon game of the Switch era. Legends Z-A by c

Gotta confess though it’s that time of the year to just watch something all warm and all. Freddy: Well Wandering Fox has gone out with his dad to watch that new Predator film, he’s made the right choice. Teddy: I wonder when he will be back?

Continued from Part 1. Section 3: The Gameplay Now for the interesting part, for Legends Z-A boasts the biggest change in Pokémon 's usual gameplay style we've had since the franchise began. One could argue that Legends Arceus did it first with its two fighting styles, but Legends Z-A really made a big change to how Pokémon games are usually played. Before we get to that big change, let's talk about the smaller parts of the gameplay first. As this is a game with a single ci
