It's been seven years since Sony-owned studio Media Molecule released a full-fledged triple-A game, which is ridiculous. So today, we figured we'd answer a listener inquiry about Dreams, Media Molecule's perpetually-upcoming game first rumored in 2012, shown in 2013, properly revealed in 2014, and.....

In 1987, upstart Japanese publisher-slash-developer Capcom changed the game when it released Mega Man (known as Rockman in Japan), a silky smooth, beautiful, and dynamic non-linear side scrolling shooter. By 1990, Capcom had followed up the original Mega Man with two fantastic sequels, cementing ...

Many of us can only imagine what it's like growing up in a warzone, but Mason Mallak didn't have the luxury of imagining it. He lived it. Born in 1995, Mason was only eight when the United States invaded his country of Iraq. Ten years later, in 2013, he moved to the US, and is on the verge of bec...

I hope you're all doing splendidly.
This week was a bit quieter than usual. My "vacation" (and I use that term lightly; I can't stay away from work) has been going well, but it's almost over. Next week, we return to "normal order"... kind of.
In reality, something bi...
From Good Morning Miss Bliss through The College Years (let's just ignore The New Class), Saved by the Bell kept a generation of kids and teenagers enraptured with the televised antics of six students in a swank Southern California school. To discuss the series and its legacy, I invited my best bud ...

Skateboarding as we know it today became a true phenomenon on the west coast in the late '70s and into the '80s, and it just so happens that skating has been one of Dagan's biggest passions for more than 30 consecutive years. So we dedicated today's episode of KnockBack to those neon days, when s...

These days, Jools operates Atooi, a tiny operation that makes games for Switch. During E3, I invited him to take the short...

Hey All,
I hope that this week's update finds you well, as always.
First and foremost, as you can see above, it's time for some new Dagan art! For the uninitiated, Dagan (my brother, co-host of KnockBack, and Lead Animator/Designer at world-famous Sesame Workshop) draws a totally uniqu...
While there are a number of amazing '80s teen movies we could easily swoon over, John Hughes' 1985 classic The Breakfast Club is the most quintessentially '80s of 'em all. It's strange that a straight-forward movie about five students serving Saturday detention together could become such a powerf...

Allow me to introduce you to Ben Smith. Ben is a small business owner, a father, a husband... and the mayor of a small, western Pennsylvania city called Butler, just north of Pittsburgh.

Whew! What a week. The busiest week in Colin's Last Stand's brief history, for sure. Usually, I post an episode of Side Quest a week. In fewer than three days, I posted seven episodes. So, you got seven weeks' worth of Side Quest content in only ...
Few (if any) television shows in history tickled our funny bones like Seinfeld. From 1989 until 1998, the demented stories of Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine captivated audiences with their absurdity, told with the assistance of incredible humor and world class writing. Today's KnockBack is ded...
