We Deserve a Good Mario Party Game

Let’s face it, this year is overall one of the worst in recent memory. From political turmoil to a global pandemic, we need each other more than ever but need to keep a distance to protect our health. I’ve been playing more…

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam & Abzû Free On Epic

Good news everyone, I don’t have to ramble on about twelve news stories! Monday, I ran down what little I had to cover for Prime Gaming. Tuesday, I used one of the many languages I’ve bothered to learn to translate Japanese and talk about the PS5…

Bargain (2020) Review

To the surprise of, I suspect, absolutely no one who’s been following my writing for a minute, October is my month. Sadly not my month of birth, but it’s my zone, my vibe — you get the idea. All this to say…

Doctor Who Series 3 “Utopia” – Review

Women and Queerness in Horror: “The Sermon”

Warning: This article contains discussion of homophobia, religious abuse, and spoilers for “The Sermon.” I have, shall we say, mixed feelings about this week’s pick. Interaction between queerness and religion in horror fiction is always a little thorny in general. As a…

Several Upcoming Movies Delayed – Why?

When’s the last time you saw a movie in a theater? For me, it was Sonic the Hedgehog in February, which I didn’t even have to wear a mask for. It made for a nice date and would end up being one of…

Animal Crossing Halloween Renewed My Obsession

I knew it would be a huge release, but the Animal Crossing update for Halloween changed my approach to the game. Before this past update for October’s spookiest holiday, I played about 10 minutes a day. I would essentially get my fossils, fish…
