TURN TO CHANNEL 3: Kryptonite is the least of gamers’ problems in ‘Superman’ for Nintendo 64

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: Kryptonite is the least of gamers’ problems in ‘Superman’ for Nintendo 64

I think one of the biggest misconceptions we often had as children was that making video games was easy. This would especially come into play when we’d impatiently wait for the next entry in a game series. How could it possibly take so long to make a video game? Obviously, many years later, we have […]

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Silver Surfer’ wipes out – again and again – on the NES

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Silver Surfer’ wipes out – again and again – on the NES

Friends, here at Turn to Channel 3, we’re not naïve to the fact that we live in a world where there are only two ways a film, television show or, yes, even a video game involving superheroes can go. These larger-than-life characters can either win major awards, garnering accolades and the praise of fans who […]

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Wally Bear and the NO! Gang’ is a product of the ’80s – and should stay there

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Wally Bear and the NO! Gang’ is a product of the ’80s – and should stay there

It seems that every decade, whether it is in gaming or otherwise, has those moments where something takes over the whole country, and not all of it is good, obviously. In the end, however, for better or worse, it becomes a staple of the decade, something that is looked upon, whether fondly or with a […]

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Captain Novolin’ taught us that diabetes and video games don’t mix

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘Captain Novolin’ taught us that diabetes and video games don’t mix

Some people believe that reviewing classic video games is both fun and easy, and while I won’t argue that I do enjoy reviewing games here on NEPA Scene, to say it is an easy job would be completely incorrect. I carefully lay out a schedule for myself, and sometimes I’m happy with the results, but […]

MASSIVE BEER REVIEWS: Make It Rain by Other Half Brewing Co. and Barrier Brewing Co.

Beer: Make It Rain Brewery: Other Half Brewing Company/Barrier Brewing Company Style: American IPA Age: 2016 ABV: 7.00% Sometimes, beers name themselves, and sometimes, two beers pull a Voltron, combine forces, and organically spit out a name so perfect that it makes you think you’re in a strip club in the early 2000s. In this […]

TURN TO CHANNEL 3: ‘MediEvil’ is a funny, quirky quest to hack and slash through

Spiritual successors in gaming are always interesting because, while inspired by other classic games, sometimes they are actually wrongfully attached to those games when, in reality, they are their own distinct games, despite their inspirations. While “Maximo: Ghosts to Glory” on the PlayStation 2 wears its love of the “Ghosts ‘n Goblins” arcade game of […]

CONCERT REVIEW: Megadeth continues to define thrash legacy in Bethlehem spectacle

CONCERT REVIEW: Megadeth continues to define thrash legacy in Bethlehem spectacle

I’ve just gotten into position. I don’t even have my cameras out and set up around my neck comfortably when the piped-in music and spoken lyrics of Megadeth’s “Prince of Darkness” cause the crowd to erupt into a deafening roar. The arena lights of the Sands Bethlehem Event Center begin to dim on Saturday, March […]
