Growing up, I was starved for media based on things that I loved, so much so that I found shows like Mortal Kombat: Conquest on TBS appointment viewing each week. I knew it wasn’t great, and it barely had anything to do with Mortal Kombat, but when there wasn’t really any alternative, you settled for…
Last weekend, Arcade1up won bragging rights at EVO when they were ones who officially got to change the #FREEMVC2 campaign to #FREEDMVC2, even going as far as to have apparel with the hashtag printed on it for staff at the event. After a brief revival in 2009 via a digital only release, Marvel vs. Capcom…
