Header of the Week

I-am-the-captain-now

Steve Rogers is no longer the Captain America of the MCU? Normally, I’d be sad, but I’m too busy laughing at Darryn’s perfect header image for that article. I’m the captain now!

Most Comments

What, an ION article got the most comments this week? That’s… unusual. Zoe’s Wednesday edition pulled in a very impressive 81 comments!

Comment of the Week

While writing about the ARK: Scorched Earth rumour, all I could think about was that old DOS game I played in my youth. Alien Emperor Trevor made me proud…

Sweet, can’t wait to drop a MIRV or Death’s Head on someone else’s dinosaur.

Oh you!

Bonus Premium Content

Enjoying Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared? You sick child! Here’s episode 3…

“Here’s something a bit different.” – Darryn.

“But if you need something mental…” – Darryn again.
