Dish's Stack: Marvel and DC Comics 29/02/2012

Five Wednesdays this month means my monthlies have been spread out over an extra week: resulting in the fact that I have nearly caught up with my stack!  A small week this week is slightly disappointing, but does mean I may actually be reading comics the week they come out some time soon!
Read after the jump for my forethoughts on Amazing Spider-Man, Justice League  and more!

Digital Distribution - The answer to Piracy?



Filesharing: most of us have done it at some point (maybe you have uTorrent running right now) but that doesn't make us criminals...right? Well, filesharing itself isn't illegal of course, but most of the files that are uploaded/downloaded are. This is a problem that has had a lot of attention lately with the SOPA and PIPA Acts in the US. and more recently filesharing has come into the spotlight right here in the UK.

Bieber on Movies



Well it seems the month of February is pretty dry in terms of decent movie releases. I’d like to use this as the excuse for why this column was absent last week, and it was partly due to the lack of any major releases but also due to some unforeseen work commitments.
Now back to business though, and unfortunately the close of February sees only a few worthwhile releases entering our cinemas over the next few weeks. This could be because of a little thing called the BAFTA's, but sure isn't helped by the re-release of many of last years 'best' films. But if you missed out on some of those “must see” films go check out the listings, you might just be in luck.

Dish's Stack: Marvel and DC Comics 22/02/2012

After a conversation with my good friend Scott, I have decided to ween myself off Marvel and DC Comics in the coming months and support some of the other comic publishers, and do my part to support the industry!  So I'll be doing some research over the coming weeks/months, and then you can expect to see me writing about Image, IDW, Dark Horse, 2000AD etc. comics, rather than exclusively focusing on the 'Big Two'.
But until then, I will carry on my 'mainstream' ways!  This week I take a look at Deadpool; Fantastic Four; Superman and more!  Read on after the jump!

Dish's Stack: Marvel and DC Comics 15/02/2012

The current format of this column isn't particularly working for me anymore: remembering issues up to, and over, a month old can be quite difficult, especially for the series not really pushing my buttons.  So I'm thinking about giving things a re-jig and see what happens!
This week heralds the beginning of the second year of Marvel's 'Point One' initiative with Amazing Spider-Man #679.1, and another two of my favourite books - Daredevil and Batman - also have new issues to bring this week's quality of books oh-so very high.  Read about these and more after the jump!

Demo Station


This week was a small one for demos on PSN and Xbox Live, but here I will still give the my opinion on what dropped this week in this late edition of Demo Station.

Today I will be talking about laying the foundations of your game area to give yourself a good starting point.

Challege Accepted: Pokemon Master - Part Zero

It has taken longer for me to get to a point where I could justify doing an update than I originally hoped.  I wouldn't say that I'm behind schedule per se, but I haven't done as much as I would have liked, since declaring the challenge, for several reasons that I will detail below.  So read on after the jump for the first progress report on my quest to become a Pokemon Master!

Netflix Catalogue: 'Are You Scared?'


Having signed up for a free month trial on Netflix, I decided to watch any films that took my fancy due to it being free, and I wouldn't feel cheated when seeing a pure stinker of a film.
First up to receive judgement is 'Are You Scared?' from 2006, and during this review there will be *SPOILERS*.

World Building: Baby Steps


With the end of my regular D&D game in sight, I have found myself looking at other RPGs on the market to find something interesting to play with my group. We have a lot of options, and decisions are yet to be made, but with the possibility of jumping into the Game Master's chair I got to thinking about how I would tackle creating a new campaign. Obviously the biggest challenge of that is building the world in which the players would live, fight and die (muhaha) in. So with that in mind, I figured I would write a short series of articles about how I go about world building, hopefully help some folks out, and maybe learn a thing or two in the process.

Dish's Stack: Marvel and DC Comics 08/02/2012

There was an Amazing Spider-Man out last week that I completely missed in this column - I suppose that's what I get for relying solely on Comic Book Resources' previews to find out what is out in a given week...
Anyway, I most certainly haven't left anything out this week!  The second part of the month-long Venom event is here, as is Spidey's other spin-off-pal Scarlet Spider, where Kaine gets to grips with being a 'hero', and Deadpool gets an event of its own as well, with 'Dead' starting in this week's issue #50.  Read my fore-thoughts on these comics and more after the jump!

This week on Demo Station I look at the First Templar, Pixel Junk: Sidescroller and Under Seige. As if that wasn't enough for one week to follow up I am joined by Pixel Punk as we take on Syndicate's Co-op multiplayer, giving you two opinions for the price of one!

Who will read the Watchmen prequels?

As I wrote yesterday, DC Comics have announced that, this summer, new stories/content will be coming from the world of The Watchmen. I only gave a brief summary of the upcoming prequels, as I felt a whole article on the story was necessary, so read after the jump for more facts and opinions on this announcement, including what the original creators, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, think of this new content.

Bieber on Movies

Bieber on Movies
With cold weather fast approaching InfinityFeed HQ what better way to stay warm and comfy than with a good film. But whilst it does mean venturing out I’m sure you’ll agree that this fortnight’s selection of films looks like it will be worth it. So here is a look at the latest up and coming releases at the cinema, we hope you enjoy.

Playing away from home.


Earlier this week Dash and I were chatting about the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, which is due out on Friday 3rd February, when Dash brought up the point that certain series seem more at home on a certain console rather than another. This maybe because that was where the first game in a series had been an exclusive, before becoming multi-platform, or maybe we just feel the game better suited our preconceptions about each company when compared to each other.
