We’re going to start you off in school before we head to the stars! First up, Shujin Academy in busy Tokyo, where star volleyball player Shiho Suzui and fashion model by day, Phantom Thief by night Ann Takamaki maintain a friendship despite increasingly divergent worlds. Then we’re off to the Mario Galaxy, if that’s what …
Leave it to Nick to go completely out of his mind off the rails on an episode where we already had plenty to talk about. The International 7 is underway! Some last minute team changes occurred! We’ve seen the schedule for the Majors and Minors next year, and we’ve got the inside scoop of what …
The world’s biggest fighting game tournament, Evolution, has come and gone!
