Map Details:-Name: Ascension-Size: Medium-Single Layer-Objective: Destroy all enemies-Loss Condition: Lose all towns and heroes-Number of Players: Three (Red, Blue, Tan) Ascension is one that I have played many times before as the Blue player, but tricked myself into thinking I hadn't because this time I decided to play as Red, whose spawn area I wasn't...

The Northman, more than anything, is a breath of fresh air. It kind of feels like a spit in the face to the by-the-book, factory-produced blockbusters that swarm cinemas today, whether it intended to do that or not. I guess what I'm saying is that it's nice to watch a movie that took place outside.... Continue Reading →
I was mostly drawn to this movie because Jordan Peele's previous film, Get Out (2017) was, at the time I had first seen it, the first horror movie in a long time to hold my attention. I was hoping Us would have the same effect. The truth is it had the opposite. I enjoyed the... Continue Reading →
I remember watching Superman (1978) back when I was a kid. It was one of my dad's favourite films growing up, and had everything I considered to be "perfect cinema" at the age of 10; alongside films like X-Men and Spiderman, of course. A huge portion of us first seeing Superman in his suit is... Continue Reading →

I have (dreadfully) decided I want to complete every scenario in Heroes of Might and Magic 3 which, in the complete edition, amounts to a grand total of more than I care to count - including maps from the base game and the two DLC's it received. This is going... Continue Reading →

But aside from that, what is it? Well, it's a very fun 4x strategy game with more diversity than... Continue Reading →
Watching Attack of the Clones is almost impossible. The whole film feels like an experiment to see just how boring they could make it and still make money because it's called Star Wars. Everything from dialogue, to delivery, to boring practical sets and even worse CGI backdrops just blends together to make one of the... Continue Reading →
Daredevil, or Marvel's attempt at a 'Dark Knight' type of product, released in 2015 at around when making superhero media with a "dark tone" meant it inherently got positive attention for trying to be subversive and realistic. But just because they got positive attention ahead of release didn't always mean they got a positive reception.... Continue Reading →
So the February 2022 review wasn't the best was it? It was a tad bit pessimistic but with some sprinkles of sarcasm in there to brighten it up. Luckily for all of us the March review is 100% going to be a better one and for one good reason: I don't have that damnable sales... Continue Reading →
