What comics are you reading for fun lately? While many of us read various comics for research, curiosity, or to keep up with a series, there are certain comics we’re reading just for fun. In this roundtable, WWAC contributors gush about the comics they’ve been reading this past month that were a pure delight.
Get Your Game On: A Gay Girls’ Baseball Team and YouTube Woes
Happy October! What games are you playing lately? I played a bit of Hitman: Sniper, an Android and iOS game where you play as a sniper tasked with increasingly difficult challenges (e.g., kill a guard by making another guard fall onto them). It only has two maps, but for one dollar, it’s a good time…

Get Your Game On: Tacoma, Overwatch Summer Games, Telltale New Releases
Happy Wednesday! What games have you been playing lately? I’ve been continuing A Normal Lost Phone, which is available for mobile and on Steam. Without giving spoilers, it celebrates queerness and focuses on very personal stories of queer characters. I wholeheartedly recommend it. I’m also playing Final Fantasy XV and Horizon Zero Dawn. Here’s a…
Get Your Game On: Doomfist, Splatoon 2, and More
Happy Wednesday! What game have you been playing the most lately? I’m up to level 26 in Horizon Zero Dawn, and today I played the first hour of Tomb Raider. I’m also enjoying NieR: Automata. Let us know on Twitter or in the comments what you’re playing and what upcoming games you’re excited about.
Get Your Game On: E3, Life is Strange Prequel, and BioWare’s Anthem
Happy Wednesday! The E3 conference is in full swing with announcements galore, which we’ll explore below. Meanwhile, what have you been playing lately? I’ve been playing the indie mobile game A Normal Lost Phone. Its teen protagonist has gone missing, and it’s up to you to piece together what happened by reading their text messages…
Get Your Game On: Andromeda Romances and No More Alan Wake
Happy Wednesday! What games have you been enjoying lately? I’ve been neglecting Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy XV the past few weeks, but I got Nier: Automata and am excited to start it.

WWAC Contributor’s Favourite Writing of 2016
I asked our contributors to tell me what their favourite piece by another WWAC writer was this year. They’ve picked articles that made an impact on them and on our readers and that, I think, stand among the best writing we published on the site this year. As our annual holiday break comes to a close, I’m…
Movies That Moved Me In 2016
I’m not particularly interested in Best Of lists. After the third list it gets stale and instead of discussing art that moved us, the discourse instead seems to focus on who wrote the best list, what rank the obviously good things appeared in. So this year I asked our writers to tell me about the…
What We’re Playing Now: Fall Favorites for All Platforms

You Want Our Ideas But Not Us: Hollywood’s Whitewashing of Asians Roundtable
Recently, many movie and TV show fans have raised concerns about upcoming releases that involve Asian settings or themes, but center white actors or sideline Asian voices. Doctor Strange, Ghost in the Shell, Netflix’s Iron Fist, Death Note, and The Great Wall perpetuate decades of Hollywood’s marginalization of Asian actors. WWAC writers have analyzed at length…
