Out of the many names whose mention would get my attention, few will actually get me excited and one of those names is Edgar Wright. From the Cornetto trilogy to Scott Pilgrim and Baby Driver, I’ve loved everything he has done thus far, but this year was always going to be a special time to […]

Gaming discourse can be a fun space to interact with. I remember back in 2017 when Odyssey was first revealed and people (including myself) absolutely lost their minds when Mario had nipples; all that additional power of the Switch utilized to give Mario what he has been missing all these years: Nipples. It was some […]
This week has been a strange one, in relation to the movies I’ve seen. They are movies worth talking about (for one reason or another), but I struggle to find anything to get excited about or focus on at any point I feel passionately about. I find that the best way to review these movies […]
The hotly debated topic with XCOM Chimera squad as a focal point. With the recent showing of Elden Ring gameplay (and with any new release by FROM Software), there are two statements that come to mind as I watch the footage: “I will never play this, but I’m glad people are excited about this” and […]
Halloween is a great time of year for horror fans; this is the time of year we can watch horror movies every day with friends, instead of every day alone. This year, I had limited time so I spent it with the objectively best movie ever made (Jason X), Ari Aster’s Hereditary, and – just […]
There are few projects that will draw attention to themselves just by a title and a film adaptation of Dune is one of them; whether it’s the “cursed” status it has from Jodorowsky and Lynch’s previous attempts or just the sheer ambition required to translate the novel to the film medium, making a Dune movie […]
Halloween (2018) is a pretty good movie; it finds a new angle for a tired franchise dealing with Laurie’s PTSD from the events of the original movie and it made Michael Myers scary again. So, how does the same team make one of the most hated sequels in the history of a franchise that has […]
This format is a shorter, more to the point, off-shot of the normal review/op-eds I normally do. A ranking will be given at the end from a scale that starts at (from the lowest to the highest): Bad – meh – fine – good – great. Anything not appropriate for these “scores” will likely warrant […]
I don’t usually bother with series anymore; I work, I socialize, I love games, movies, books, I write and try to learn how to be a better writer, and I read. At some point, I had to accept that I can’t keep up with series anymore because they are a large commitment, which I usually […]
Compared to The Longest Road on Earth, Of bird and cage (OBAC) seems to be a completely different proposition; where TLROE is immediately recognizable as indie, OBAC is AA through and through. Graphics that look good from afar and terrible up-close? Check. An assortment of gameplay and narrative ideas that show great ambition yet deliver […]
