DC Universe Roku Review
DC Universe officially launched on 9/15, Batman day! DC Universe is currently offered at two different price points, $7.99 a month, or $74.99 for a one year subscription which is a savings of 20% versus the monthly plan. When DC Universe was first announced during Comic-Con, they introduced a plan for $74.99 for 15-months instead of the standard $74.99 12-month plan. I was a little worried placing $74.99 down on an app that still had not been released, but I took the leap. I figured $74.99 for 15 months turns out to be $4.99 a month, a savings of $3.00 a month over the standard monthly plan, what a deal.

'A Simple Story' by Elizabeth Inchbald
Introduction A Simple Story isn't a very good title in my opinion. Why title your story a simple story when readers can read tales of adventure or about specific characters? To my surprise, I actually enjoyed the book. This review will aim to be spoiler free.

Best Gifts for 'Friends' Fans to Own
Friends is one of the most all-time, popular 1990s television shows ever in history and if you can't see that, you know nothing about TV. I've never met one person who doesn't like Friends, that's how lovable the show really is. From its hilarious characters to the unforgettable phrases like "smelly cat" and "how you doin'," and even Friends theories, this show has a place in almost everyone's heart. It's seriously hard not to love a show like Friends.

Manga Spice Cafe: A Review
Anyone who's ever met me can tell you that I have a very geeky side to me that I rarely like to show to most people. I'm a big time fan of Japanese culture, food, and yes, manga artwork. In fact, my favorite movie of all time is Casshern.

Best Gifts for Disney Fans to Buy Right Now
I can’t think of one person who doesn’t like a single Disney film. Everyone has his/her favorite movie whether it’s Aladdin, The Lion King, Frozen, or Beauty and the Beast, there’s something that everyone likes. But there are hardcore Disney fans out there who love every single film, know the plot lines like the back of their hand, know Disney movie fan theories, and adore at least one character from each movie. And these people know they’re totally obsessed with anything Disney—they’ll proudly admit it.

Best Gifts for Game of Thrones Fans
Most of us already know how crazy Game of Thronesfans are. From the immense love they have for the characters to constantly attempting to make fan theories true through clues in the show, these fans always find themselves sucked right into the popular television series. And no diehard fan doesn't own anything related to their favorite show. Either they own more than five t-shirts representing the show, posters of the show that's basically used as wallpaper in their rooms, or props that are exact replicas from the show, these fans love owning a piece of merch that expresses their love for Game of Thrones.

Shoemaker Josh Pell of Nookiee (not to be confused with the designer clothing and swimwear website Nookie) is banking on that market with these pretty amazing shoes. All of his shoes are handmade and, like it says on the title, fresh to death as they recreate the styles of yesteryear.
