Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. We've tackled the idea of cartoons or animated series based off comic books almost a decade ago with a Top 5 Animated TV Shows Based Off Comic Books. It's a good idea to update this post. Our reasoning is three-fold: 1, it's been long enough and more shows have been produced since 2015; we increased the number of shows on this list from five to ten; and Geekly forgot about a few shows inspired by comic books in the previous list. Whoops! Before we get into the shows, let's set down some ground rules for this list.

Happy Sunday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. I'm still on my pseudo-hiatus for the Novel in November event, so this week's Geek News will include board games and video games that released this past week. Let's start this week's Geek News with board game new releases. Employee Disposal Program Launches on KickStarter Who needs political correctness? Employee Disposal Program--awesome name by the way--offers a light, party game, which pokes fun at a corporation's HR Department. Players begin with two sanity and five action cards. A player's sanity is their health and once a player loses all their sanity, they're eliminated from the game.

You’ll want to shed your hand of cards quicker than anyone else in L.L.A.M.A. The Card Game, but you might not be able to play what you want. Strategic quitting, which freezes the cards in your hand, may be the key to victory in this silly, engaging (German Game of the Year) Spiel des Jahres-nominated game. Don’t get stuck with a llama! Hey, hey! Kyra Kyle here. I mentioned L.L.A.M.A. The Card Game in a previous Whatcha Playing post and figured we should cover the game with a full review.

Happy Sunday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another month of Whatcha Playing. Our writers will be sharing what they've been playing--board games and video games--over the past month. Feel free to share what you've been playing over the past month, because you're part of the Geekly Gang, too. I'll start by sharing my month's games. Kyra's Video Games I mentioned Slime Rancher 2 a couple of months ago, during one of these lists, but I finally finished the game this past month. In fact, I picked up Slime Rancher 2's…

Terra Nil flips the city/civilization builder on its head. The world has been sapped of its resources, and it's up to the player to return the world to its former lush landscapes, complete with wildlife, and then leave without a trace, allowing life to begin anew. Can you bring the world back to life Hey, hey! Kyra Kyle here. Today's cozy video game is Terra Nil. I wish listed this one on Steam when its demo dropped, and then forgot about it. It wasn't until Terra Nil popped up on Netflix, of all places, that I tried the full game.

Happy Sunday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here, and I'm in the middle of some major edits and rewrites with my work in progress--more on that in the coming weeks--so I won't have as much time to cover Geek News topics like previous months. But we still have some new board game and video game releases to discuss. I'll try to be brief. Let's begin with board game new releases. Punch Bowl Splashes onto KickStarter Punch Bowl looks amazing. It's won multiple awards, featuring giant fruits that players must turn into giant punch.

We had to discuss the Marvel United: Fantastic Four expansion from the Marvel United: X-Men launch. In fact, we’ll begin our coverage of the Marvel United: X-Men wave with this expansion. Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. We return once again to Marvel United. This is one of those game systems with a heap of expansions. Too many, if you ask me. But we’ll cover the expansions that will either be fan favorites (plenty of people will be interested in adding them to their collection) or good additions because of their gameplay variants.

Hooray! It’s that day again. Happy Halloween! To honor Spooky Season, I’d like to discuss my favorite movies to watch for Halloween. We all have our go-tos for holiday movies. What are some of your favorite Halloween movies? You may find some of your favorites among my list. With all that said, let me walk you through my favorite Halloween movies. 5) Coraline (2009) While Coraline doesn’t take place during Spooky Season, the themes and tone are a perfect fit. This’ll be a common thread among many of my picks. I first saw…

Happy Wednesday, Geekly Gang! Today is the rare fifth Wednesday of a month, so our writers will be sharing personal updates over the past few months. I'll kick things off for this month's Personal Updates. Kyra's Games I've been sick (with the crud) over the past few weeks, but before getting sick, I was featured in a board game design panel at Nuke-Con early this month. While the panel went well, I'd like to expand on it for next year. Be on the look out for Nuke-Con 2026. I also playtested…

Happy Black Cat Day, Geekly Gang! That's right. Today is Black Cat Day. I didn't know a day like this exists. Hey, hey! Kyra Kyle here. We're celebrating Black Cat Day by listing five famous (and popular) black cats in media. Oh, it's about to get spooky up in here. 5) Pluto ("The Black Cat") We'll start this list with the titular feline in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat." Often read as the companion piece to "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Black Cat's" point of view character gets spooked by Pluto, walling him beside his deceased wife.

Happy Sunday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here with another week of Geek News. This past week confirmed a months-long rumor: Warner Bros. is for sale. Bugs Bunny looks enthused with being on the market. We'll discuss Warner Bros. posting a for-sale sign and this week's new releases for board games and video games during this week's Geek News. Warner Bros. For Sale No. Yakko and Wakko aren't for sale. Warner Bros., as a property, is for sale. After months of speculation that Paramount would purchase all of Warner Bros., Warner Bros.

Organ Trail gives a zombie apocalypse twist to the classic Oregon Trail. Not to be confused with the 2023 film of the same name, Organ Trail was developed by Men Who Wear Many Hats in 2010. 2010! That makes this game a decade and a half old. Yikes! Organ Trail began as a web game before a 2012 Kickstarter campaign expanded its release to Steam and iOS. Organ Trail has gone on to sell over half a million copies. Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. Today, we're reviewing the 2013…

Happy Wednesday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. Today, our writers share the music they've been listening to over the past month. Feel free to share what you've been listening to over the past month, because we're all part of the Geekly Gang. I'll get things started with my geekly tunes for October. Kyra's Tunes I've been revisiting Gorillaz's catalog after their recent announcement of their upcoming ninth studio album, The Mountain. Gorillaz's early stuff is phenomenal. Their first three albums resonate today. I'll throw on Gorillaz, Demon Days…
