A love of criticizing that which I love
With Arcane season 2 in development, I thought it would be fun to speculate on where the series is headed. Super quick S1 finale recap: Jinx kills Silco who was going to kill Vi, but in doing so actually ends up choosing Silco metaphorically. Vi refused to kill Caitlyn and came too emotionally stunted to … Continue reading Arcane Season 2: Predictions
It's refreshing to see a tale where the main character goes on an emotional journey and the only thing that's gained is the happiness of themselves and those around them. The protagonist, Mirabel (played by the great Stephanie Beatriz, whom I love from Brooklyn Nine-Nine), doesn't change much from beginning to end. In fact, I … Continue reading Encanto: Analysis and Review
League of Legends, developed by Riot Games, has been around since 2009 and is one of the, if not thee, most popular games in the world. One of the reasons for its massive popularity is the rich world building and character lore Riot created. Over time the lore changed to suit the game's growing popularity … Continue reading Arcane Season 1: Analysis & Review
There's a lot to be said for MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online). They try hard to do so much and face more challenges than other genres. However, many of them forget the main point of video games - to be fun. While New World doesn't completely forget this, it does seem that they're struggling. The game … Continue reading New World: Review
For over a year, most of us have had to stay inside much longer than we ever would have liked. I kept thinking about how this would impact media in terms of its content, not the production schedule. Inside not only rises from the pandemic, but it goes above and beyond it; skewering every flaw … Continue reading Bo Burnham’s Inside: Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
I've seen a lot of comments online that are flaming this movie. Of course, I've seen a lot of positive feedback, but the negative responses are the ones that stuck with me. This is mainly because the criticisms are based on the convolution of the plot and nothing else. I even saw one review on … Continue reading Tenet: Defense of Convolution (Spoilers)
I know Breath of the Wild has been out for a good while, but with its huge success it made me think that for younger kids this would be their first entry into the series. As someone who played Ocarina of Time as a six year old kid and has since played and beaten every … Continue reading Top 10 Legend of Zelda Games
With Hades on its way to the Switch, I thought it'd be fitting to review my time with the game. For those of you who haven't played, Hades is a rogue-like (a game where you repeat runs through randomized dungeons all while making incremental improvements) dungeon crawler where you play Zagreus, son of Hades. It … Continue reading Hades: Review
If I were to say anything about The Room 4 it would be how good it looks. The art, tone, and sound design all match to produce an eerie environment that sets the mood for the mystery puzzle game. I do have to say that I wish they tuned up the eerie to creepy/scary at … Continue reading The Room 4 Old Sins: Review
Plot literally falling off Game of Thrones has some of the best directing, cinematography, stunts, choreography, CGI, music compositions, etc. Which is why it's so heartbreaking that the writing is just so terrible. I don't understand how people can claim to be fans of the show yet be okay with them sacrificing all coherent plots … Continue reading The Not so Long Night: Game of Thrones S8 Ep3
