Picking the Perfect “Breach and Clear” Playlist
My friends and I have been playing a fair amount of “Ready or Not” recently – for the unfamiliar, the game is a first-person shooter where you control a SWAT team member participating in various missions, from stopping a robbery at a gas station to rescuing hostages in a hotel (and some much, much worse…

Review/Ranking: Secret Level, Eps. 9-15
I guess they front-loaded all the good stuff, huh? This series was like a five-course meal that goes from fresh oysters to a turd wrapped in old newspaper. Gross. B Tier The Outer Worlds: The Company We Keep This episode was pretty good. I enjoyed The Outer Worlds when I played it (even if I…

Review/Rankings: Secret Level, Eps. 1-8
Secret Level is an animated anthology series exploring a selection of current and classic gaming franchises. I broke the episodes into three tiers – A, B, and C – and listed them within those tiers in approximate order of preference.

A Thanksgiving Feast of Reviews
Let’s dig in, shall we? Revew: Turkey (the Bird) It’s a mediocre bird in almost all senses. It’s a near-tasteless, dry, uninspired meat – that’s why the pilgrims felt the need to shove croutons up its ass. At least stuffing makes turkey interesting.

These digital vomit-pools (the…

The Eye of Argon: A Literary Analysis (Part 2)
Alright, so calling this an “analysis” is like calling what they serve at Arby’s “meat,” but that’s just life – sometimes the people you trust tell you horrible lies in order to get pageviews. Today we’ll be looking further into Jim Theis’ fantasy epic “The Eye of Argon”. Although the version that I’ve been referencing…

Review: The Last of Us, Eps. 1-5 (HBO)
A Quick Introduction I’ve played the first Last of Us twice – once when it came out, and then again when it was remastered (for the first time). I never played the second title in the series, because it looked like a relentless fucking downer. When I heard that The Last of Us was getting…

Review: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Netflix)
Some Important Context: The entirety of my experience with the Cyberpunk franchise consists of my time with Cyberpunk 2077 and, now, Edgerunners. I haven’t played the tabletop RPG but have heard it’s great; I’ve got a lot of respect for Mike Pondsmith for crafting such an engaging setting. Now, on to our regularly scheduled programming……
