Its time you start obsessing over Halt and Catch Fire.

When AMC renewed its highly-rated rarely-watched, 80s’ period drama Halt and Catch Fire for a second season it came out as a surprise to everyone. However did you know that particular decision by AMC is in itself a reason why you should start watching the show?

AMC doesn’t quit.

The cancellation of Bryan Fuller’s critics’ favorite Hannibal during its third season was expected by even some cult fans of the show because despite its masterfully scripted pieces the show failed to garner enough viewers. However AMC has the history of investing time in its adventures. The Lee Pace starrer ‘Halt’ is running the same road as Mad Men and Breaking Bad. There is no doubt that the show has long way to go before it can be compared to the likes of Mad Men and Breaking Bad but the good news here is that AMC is giving it enough to time to cover that distance.

So if you have been a big fan of Don Drapper than its time you tie yourself with the story of Joe McMillan.

It is wonderfully coded.

Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers have created an intricate yet comprehensible depiction of characters from the tech valley of 80s’ Dallas. The good thing about the show is the understanding between the script and the charters. The first season started with Joe McMillan tied with the corporate ventures of IBM and Cardiff while Cameroon (Mackenzie Davis) as a young code junkie in search of (to be honest) something. However. This year we have Cameroon struggling with her new startup Mutiny and Joe in search of, well, ‘something’.

‘Halt’ has over the course of 16 episodes developed itself into a kind of period drama that you have been trying hard to ignore but it is almost that time when you will not be able to do that anymore.

How the Witcher 3 silently became a benchmark for new games

Image Source Every few years we get a good captivating video game and every now and then there is are game of the decade candidates. Up till now Skyrim was considered probably the best role playing game but we reckon we might have to change our mind after playing the Witcher 3 over and over. So what makes the Witcher 3 so good? Let's start off with the fact that I never thought that Witcher 3 would convince me enough to write about it. When it got released, initially, I didn't even download it or had any desire to do so. Just munching away hours playing Fifa 15 and Skyrim (yup, taking care of my two virtual daughters), I had already played The Witcher 1 and 2 but neither of them kept me interested in the story or the sandbox open world. One thing to note is that I absolutely hated the controls in The Witcher 2: The Assassin's of kings, Ie know some of you might find them similar to The Witcher 3 but in my opinion though Witcher 3's controls are generations ahe...
