2017 continues to prove itself excellent as we move into the realm of cinema; I've seen about 50 films this year, so not everything, but not a shabby amount either, and there's a lot to recommend. You might notice that this list is in alphabetical order; that's because I was, in fact, having such a …
Top 5 Video Games of 2017
Because of their nature as more time consuming and expensive than films and tv shows, I didn't get the chance to play too many games in 2017 (something further complicated by me moving somewhere without a TV in September). But the games I did manage to play were almost all at a higher standard than …
Danganronpa V3
This post contains spoilers for the entire Danganronpa series. I recommend having played the games before reading this, or you won't understand much of it. Recently I held a poll on my twitter as to which game I should review this month. The choices were between Danganronpa V3, a game most people had at this …
Top 5 TV Shows of 2017
It's December, which means it's the season to reflect on the year and assign an arbitrary number to the things you liked over the past 12 months. This year, I'm splitting up my lists in order to tantalise my readers, and give me more things to post this month. (I'm still working on my review …
Office Politics
Before I begin this comparison of the two versions of the TV show The Office, I think I need to make some major clarifications. First of all, this is by no means trying to be any sort of definitive ranking of the two series, because both have carved out their own niches enough that they …
Persona 5
Spoilers for the entirety of Persona 5 ahead. The other Persona games are not spoiled in this post. Persona 5 is a game for Japan. It talks to Japanese people and it was made by Japanese people. It’s set in Japan, and it appears to address issues facing Japan today. I thought I should get …
😱
I didn’t really want to review The Emoji Movie, because reviewing it meant watching it, and watching it meant a) supporting Sony to make more of this kind of film in the future, and b) spending 2 hours of my life watching a kids film about emoji. And then a good friend of mine (@thesoulminded …
The Best Games on the 3DS
I wasn’t expecting this to be the post for this month, but Persona 5 has ended up taking much longer than I expected to play through and gather my notes on, so this will have to serve to tide me over until then. Despite the success of Nintendo’s most recent portable console, the Switch, I …
Review: The Final Season
This review contains massive spoilers for the final season of Review, and all the proceeding seasons. I urge you to watch the show (it’s only 3 seasons) before reading any further. You won’t regret it. Review isn’t, at its core, about reviewing things. Sure, that forms the basis for the life work of ‘life reviewer’ …
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Medium story spoilers follow. I'd advise playing the game before reading this review, but I try to avoid spoiling anything major. I feel like I’ve come to Breath of the Wild a bit too late to add anything meaningful to the discussion, but this does at least mean that the inevitable backlash has already started. That …
