    After watching Makoto Shinkai’s 5 Centimeters Per Second film, I followed it up with this 6-minute short. Like with 5 Centimeters, it incorporates a hyper-real world, beautiful scenery and colors, all in a fun little near-future tale of a woman dealing with growing up and the relationship she maintains with her father. I recommend watching…

    As I wrote yesterday on my personal blog, I’ve just discovered Makoto Shinkai, and started my viewing of his works with this film, which is made up of three interlocking chapters. The story of young love didn’t really grab me, but what did grab me was the stunningly beautiful animated world we’re presented with, both…

    I was planning on binging the season once it was over, but playing the Mr. Robot iOS game put me in the mood to dig in, and now I just hit episode 7, and wow. And the opening 15 minutes of episode 6. Without reading specific things about the season, I was getting a general…

    I wasn’t expecting to really like this – I didn’t like Age of Ultron, and everything I saw in the trailers for it made it look so drab – but hey, I enjoyed it. But it does look drab (in terms of art direction). I mostly liked the fight scenes, especially the big one (in…

    This has just launched as a Kickstarter campaign, and what’s really nice is that they’ve released a demo that you can check out, that gives you a try at the card gameplay (a tech test of sorts). As I just wrote, I love card games, and I love the creations of Tezuka Osamu, and so…

    I like card games a lot (been playing them most of my life, from the first years that Magic: The Gathering showed up on the scene), and have actually been quite looking forward to release of this game. I’ve had a chance to try it out during its PC Beta, and gotta say that I’m…

    I played a few matches in the game’s Tech Test last weekend (and it continues this coming weekend), and was excited to do so because I had never had a chance to play the first game (because I don’t have an Xbox One, and wasn’t interested in playing it on Xbox 360). My first experience…

    Halt and Catch Fire is my favorite still airing series (all-time fave award goes to Twin Peaks), and I’ve been soooooo excited for the start of season 3. I’ve only watched the first episode, and although it starts off a bit slow, I so loved the Jobs-like presentation at the end. Can’t wait to see…

    I love Louis C.K. so damn much, no matter what he does, and some of the most enjoyable stand-up routines I’ve ever seen were in of his past specials. I just watched this – it’s now available on Netflix – and was surprised that I felt a bit disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, I still…

    The last of the iOS games currently seeing heavy play on my devices is the one that I really knew nothing before launch, but saw it mentioned in articles that were talking about Deus Ex GO and Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltrati0n.ipa, and my interest was piqued. I was first attracted when I saw it getting described as…
