There are many ways games can make one's brain release dopamine. One way is by making you shoot dudes in hilarious ways, and another might be to make numbers go up by clicking stuff. Vampire Survivors takes both of those things and sticks them together in one of the most shockingly satisfying ways I've recently... Continue Reading →
In my review of the first Transformers movie I noted that, while it was what surrounded the movie that made it interesting, I could see why people liked it as a relatively solid action blockbuster. I also said I didn't understand how people could like the cynical sequels for anything but their context. And... I... Continue Reading →
The first Transformers movie came out in a different time.

Santa then proceeds to rip out eye balls, set... Continue Reading →
2017 might not have been that long ago in the grand scheme of things, but the number of superhero movies to have released since then has surely been massive - that's discounting spin-off shows and tie-in shorts. And what is quite remarkable is that it seems very few, if any at all, took a look... Continue Reading →
So... I watched a whole lot of Doctor Who and need to talk about it. Specifically season 1, the soft reboot of the series after the 1996 movie didn't do so well. This season puts a lot of distance between itself and the classic Doctor Who stories, mainly to appeal to a new generation of... Continue Reading →
