Transformers ONE Final Trailer
HA. The funniest comment from a friend who attended an early screening of this film was "This is the best Transformers film anyone has made to date...and I know that's not saying much considering past films, but it is really, genuinely GOOD, and probably better than it has any right to be!" That's a glowing endorsement if I ever heard one, and enough to motivate me to actually catch this one in theaters, much less, make any effort to see it at all. I'm still keeping my expectations on the low side, but let's just say...I'm profoundly hopeful!

In the single’s accompanying music video, we’re further introduced to Babyfangs southern gothic aesthetic, and her deep rooted affinity and connection to the natural world.

Five Nights At Freddy's: Into The Pit Giving Retro Chills and Robot Bunny Kills
By Melissa Bostaph (twitch.tv/mother_chaos)
Allow me to begin this review by admitting to you that I am not a Five Nights At Freddy's (lovingly referred to as FNAF) fangirl. Truth be told, I know as much about the franchise as most casual gamers who don't play the games do, and I learned about it by watching Markiplier playthroughs or listening to my kids babble on about it. My personal, hands-on experience with any of the games has been limited to playing the very first installment of FNAF for research to surprise my FNAF-obsessed son with a special birthday cake. The game was fun for sure, but definitely too high-stress and claustrophobic for my liking. My preference has always been the wide-open worlds of games like Fallout 4 and Red Dead Redemption, or the gameplay of Tomb Raider or Bloodborne. Being trapped in a single room fighting off the unseen terrors of the outside world, only to be slapped in the face, time and again, with failure, is what I do on a daily basis as an illustrator and parent. I play games to escape that reality, so the FNAF franchise has just never really interested me.
