    This is currently free if you’re a PlayStation Plus member, so I’m finally getting around to playing it. Even though this is not usually a kind of game I seek out – combo fighters – I had been wanting to play it because it’s from Ninja Theory, and so I expected good things – I…

    I wrote about Aku no Hana when I first started watching it last fall, and wanted to write this follow-up now that I’m done watching the first season – I’d only watched the first 6 episodes, and so now finally got around to watching the rest (the last 7, that I watched in one go).…

    I really loved this, and it was even more interesting for me since I didn’t really know the story – just that Lauda had been seriously injured. I like that it focuses on pretty much just one season, and wow, what a season that was, it’s almost hard to believe it really happened. And the…

    This movie is a lot better than you’d think. Sure, it’s cheesy as all hell, but in a delicious way. For me, it really reminded me of old school 80s action movies, stuff like Aliens, with all those classic character archetypes – the tough chick, the bastard, the spiritual one, etc. – and in a…

    Full disclosure: I love all of the Jackass movies, and so it’s no big surprise that I loved this too. It’s stupid fun, and the scene in the strip joint with balls hanging had me in pain from laughing (loved the “Cherry Pie” bit at the end too). I think the movie got criticized a…

    When I first heard about this game – before it came out – I thought it had the makings of something pretty cool, based on the pixelated aesthetics, and the fact that it uses music and sound effects from the original TV series. Then, when it came out, I was turned off by what I…

    They’ve just released a demo for the upcoming US release of this (in February I think), and it’s pretty interesting that the demo itself is its own thing, not just a part of the full game – and you can unlock stuff in this that will carry to the full release. I’ve only started playing…

    I thought the first one was pretty fun to watch, but this one felt like it was just going through the motions. Sure, still had a few laughs, and I did like the Kristen Wiig character, but for the most part it didn’t really grab me much. Don’t think I’ll watch a third one, if…

    Was really looking forward to watching this, and yeah, it’s a pretty fun movie. Great job on the first-time directing gig – I especially liked that rhythmic editing bit that he uses to highlight every time the main character jerks off.

    I love this board game – I have the physical copy – and I’m very happy to have it on iOS as well, with asynchronous multiplayer. It’s basically a European-style resource management game, with a Dungeons & Dragons skin on it, which I quite like.
