If you’re like me and grew up during the late 80’s – early 90’s as a kid, you’ll probably remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. By far one of my favorite cartoons ever. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the “reboot” of the franchise on Nickelodeon you should, I highly recommend it. […]

MW2’s Favela Is Being Benched, Possibly Forever
If you’ve ever played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, then you’ll probably remember playing on Favela, a map based on the Brazilian shanty towns.
