All creative people are nuts. On some level, I don’t really understand what this show was going for. It jumped through time, the titular character barely shows up for half the show, it keeps introducing new geniuses in totally different fields, and… none of this particularly seems to have paid...

Post-apocalyptic Japanese Three Kingdoms. This ruled so hard. Shows like this are why I watch anime. Clearly created by someone who loves Three Kingdoms lol. Truly recalled the most entertaining aspects of the book. The politicking. The speeches. The backstabbing. Most of the wars being won by...

Like the title says. Another villainess show, but with the slight twist that it’s told from the perspective of the prince who’s fated to be with the heroine. It was adorable. They are all too precious. Storytelling – B – Well told. Voice – B – Certainly we’ve seen shows with the same premise,...

We’re never going to run out of isekai ideas, are we? I have to applaud the sheer creativity of the premise. They took the dumbest thing they could think of and they went all in. And it worked! It was an enjoyable, lighthearted show. It dragged a bit in the second season, there were possibly too...

Mismatched high school couples fall in love. The couples are cute, and I really liked the art style (felt more cartoonish than what seems to be in style now). I think the main problem might just be that I’m old. These high school love stories don’t really do it for me anymore. It was very...

Enemies to lovers, learning about different cultures, and just a touch trashy! It was enjoyable, if pretty predictable after the first episode. Decent sense of humor, and I did appreciate the trashiness. Very plausibly deniable. Enjoyed the visuals as well. Storytelling – C – Simple but...

(Header image from Ben Griffiths on Unsplash) The Recommendation I think this is a must-own game. This gem is concise enough that you can probably read the base rules in less time than it will take to read this review, so you may as well go buy it, read it, play it, then come back and see if...

(Header image by Alexandr Rusnac on Unsplash) Everything Everywhere All At Once is my favorite film. The clash of such an explosive, absurd multiverse epic colliding with the commonplace struggle of an immigrant family trying to file their taxes is not an obvious combination. I think it works...

“The conversation that you have with the other players and with the rules create a story that couldn’t have existed in your head alone.”– Avery Alder, Monsterhearts 2 I think the reason many of us cling to dice in RPGs is so we can ensure the story is fluid, that there are twist and turns...

Look. Like many of you, my brain has problems. And I can never, ever, ever say the name of this absolute banger of a game from Rowan, Rook and Decard without the supergroup also named Royal Blood popping into my head. I think it’s a feature not a bug, but the constant loop is important to how I am...

(Photo by Avi Werde on Unsplash) Before we start, I want to note that Delta Green inherently is a game where you engage as armed operatives of the United States government. While I do not think the game explicitly paints these agents as heroes, disturbingly I would not be surprised to learn...
