Total War Warhammer III released in February of this year and I've been wanting to review it for a long time, but no time ever seems right. The game is so frequently updated, broken, fixed again and being built upon that I feel as though most of what I say will be outdated in a... Continue Reading →
Alex’s Guide to Reviewing Stuff
It's not that common of an occurrence, but when it does come up that I write reviews on my corner of the internet I'm sometimes met with the question of 'how do you do it'? It's a bit odd because it's not like I'm ending world hunger, but the question is phrased and inflated in... Continue Reading →
Skyfall (2012) Review – Merging of the Eras
Ah, Skyfall. The one that went, 'what if we slowly steered Craig's Bond back to what Bond used to be'. This is where Craig's series started to be more cheesy - not that, as I've noted, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace weren't also over the top. But here's where there was a real tonal...

Quantum of Solace (2008) Review
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 Review – Obsidian’s Hidden Gem
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 →
September 2022 Review – My Country Went Mad
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 →
Do Revenge (2022) Review – One in Five High School Movies are Good
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 →
Casino Royale (2006) Review – Reinventing Bond
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 →
The Queen Died and the News Made it a Comedy
When Queenie was taken into care at Balmoral Castle, I was sat in the breakroom at work with my colleagues and all the chat was about whether or not we'd get a day off for the funeral (we will). The consensus at the time was that we'd all like one, but our luck would be... Continue Reading →
