Next came the Insidious franchise – which spawned another FOUR films. Then all of a…

Il Signor Bruschino is a huge hearty romp of laughter and complexity. Setting itself in an Italian setting, but also singing in English, the opera translated itself well to a little but lively audience at Chapel off Chapel.

E3 2016 is an extremely leaky boat this year. After a teaser went live yesterday indicating a sequel to Ubisoft’s 2014 shooter Watch Dogs, an ad was mistakenly run early over at IGN that confirmed not only the game’s title but also its release date.
After being announced at E3 2015 with little more than a glimpse of well-known character models and some music, World of Final Fantasy now has a new trailer and a release date. Hit the jump for some serious nostalgia.
