Describing Quantum of Solace is quite hard, but I think the best way to put it is: Quantum of Solace is a really good film made really, really badly. Specifically edited badly. If you jacked up a neurotic nine-year-old social media influencer with ADHD on cocaine and told them to edit together a Bond movie,... Continue Reading →
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 →

This month I participated in Blaugust; a challenge where I had to do daily uploads of posts. And all was well until about halfway through the month when I realised my backlog had finally been exhausted. 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 →
