Tyranny is a game that has one of the smallest followings on social media I've ever seen and almost zero people playing it on Steam whenever I check the community hub. In spite of this it has a fairly large YouTube coverage, was made by some of the best RPG developers out there, Obsidian Entertainment,... Continue Reading →
So in the UK this month we're doing that thing where we say things are fine, when they most certainly are not fine. And it all started with the Queen's death. I talked at length already about how exhausting and silly the news coverage of her death was, but the one bit I was actually... Continue Reading →
I made up the one in five statistic, but the high school drama genre is a strange one; so many high school movies turn out as bland meshes, like clones of one and other, to the point where they can't be distinguished. But every now and again a film comes along that uses the setting... Continue Reading →
I've always been a Bond fan. There are very few Bonds I don't like and only a few I haven't really seen (though many I haven't seen in at least 8-10 years). The only problem is, fun as the franchise is, it's all a bit samey; Bond fights a super villain and sleeps with a... Continue Reading →

Writing daily posts wasn't the slog I thought it would be, but editing them sure as hell was and... Continue Reading →
On the surface, Crusader Kings 2 is yet another generic grand strategy game where the only objective is to paint the map the colour of your selected country. But underneath it all is a sandbox of unlimited roleplay potential - a world ripe with selfishness, political decent, religious conflict and an awful lot of inbreeding... Continue Reading →
Romance and Romcom movies aren't normally my thing, but what made me want to see this movie was mainly Charlie Kaufman's credit as the writer after I saw, and enjoyed, I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020). And much like that film, this one largely takes place inside the main character's brain. Also like that film,... Continue Reading →
The Burnout franchise is funny because it was originally meant to be just another racing game, but the developers decided they wanted crashes to be in it and the ability to ram other racers off the track. The publishers said no to that idea, so the developers left the project to go work on their... Continue Reading →
