​Dear IGN, I'm writing this letter because, despite our bad times and Good times, I must break up with you. How are you doing, 'Di Blog' fans? When we were in the middle of creating another animated project, we came across IGN's new top 25 countdown, which was, this time, based on the 25 best anime series of all time. Now, I don't usually involve myself in these countdowns from these Publishers because opinions are opinions, but something called to me this time, saying there's something I need to check on the list. And there it was, IGN had Dead Note at number 18th. 

​The first game I ever played was a little Sci-fi title on the old Atari called Astroids (Giving away my age here), but the last game I played recently, arguably this year's game of the year, was Elden Ring. This gaming journey has been incredible, far beyond my wildest imagination. Yet....there was still room for me to be blown away. I for one never believed I would ever see a large-scale, Jamaican-developed game about Jamaica, ever (AND I MEAN EVER!) in my lifetime. In Step Willow Tree Studios and their very ambitious indie title, Street Boy. 

​All dads are fathers...but not all fathers are dads! My grandfather often said that line to me when I was younger, and I never quite understood what he meant until my own son was born recently. Father's day is here, and honestly speaking, the day had always felt lost in the shadows of the juggernaut Mother's Day. It is like comparing Christmas with Kwanzaa, both equally important, but only one people truly care about. Well, I say...SCREW THAT! Dads, I am here to help raise Father's day profile the only way I know how...by creating a hot office debate amongst us here in the studio on the greatest cartoon dads in history. Here's what we came up with: 

Before we get started, let's address the elephant in the room. If you have been a follower of this blog for over a year, you should notice that almost half of this list was apart of our 2020 most anticipated. Thanks to the effects of that pesky COVID-19 many of the films that were slated for  2020 got bumped into 2021. And with the global pandemic still pending here's hoping everything listed here will see the light of day this year. 

​As an adult today, the Christmas season may not be as cheerful as you once remembered it. The insane traffic makes driving a nightmare, every store comes with their own mob, and thanks to a pesky global pandemic, visiting love ones is almost suicidal. Sucks right? But, at least you got all those warm fuzzy Christmas memories from when you were a child and still believed in good ole Saint Nick. Well, in search of similar feelings today, we decided to enter our memory banks and conjure up a list of our favourite depictions of the jolly man in animation over the years. 

Yesterday, Microsoft held their highly anticipated Xbox Series X Games Showcase, and well...after its conclusion I was left with the weird feeling of being less excited about its arrival. I was underwhelmed and highly critical of Microsoft's first showing back in May hoping that they were simply holding back for this showcase to blow us away, but honestly, it just felt flat. Here are the reasons why I was left disappointed by the Xbox Series X Games Showcase:
