  • Star Fox Zero

    I should start by saying that I’ve never really been that big a fan of Star Fox games, and have only played (and not to completion) the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 releases. But despite the mixed reviews, I was still curious to try this out. I’m afraid I didn’t have a lot of fun…

  • Pathfinder Adventures

    I’ve been wanting this card game for ages, but I never picked it up because it’s pricey, especially when I was in Tokyo and looking at import prices. That’s why I was pretty excited when I found out that they were planning on making an iOS version (and I think it’s also on Android and…

  • Star Wars Battlefront

    I remember having a blast with the open beta they did before the release of the game, but as much as I enjoyed that, I just couldn’t justify picking it upon release, as I didn’t think that just multiplayer would keep me engaged in the long run. I’m finally getting to play it now, and…

  • Dragon Quest Heroes

    I’ve been very curious about this game, with the main thing attracting me to it being just how beautiful it looks – to have those colorful Toriyama designs with crisp HD graphics was enough to draw me in. I’m not really into the musou games, but I liked Hyrule Warriors enough that I figured I…

  • Overwatch

    So after having a blast playing Overwatch during two open beta periods, I was pretty happy to get the full game upon release, and have been playing fairly regularly since (although I’ve taken a break during the past week to play some other games). Everything I wrote in those posts for the open betas stands…

  • The Resurrection of Jake the Snake

    I’m a sucker for documentaries about wrestling, and a few days ago I happily watched this one that is currently available on Netflix. I really quite enjoyed this, as a follow-up to the infamous Beyond the Mat documentary of the 90s that revealed a washed up Jake the Snake who was in pretty bad shape.…

  • Scream (TV)

    I’d heard there was a TV series based on the Scream movies, but hadn’t really cared about it until I saw it pop up on Netflix, and thought it might be something my wife would enjoy watching together (she likes mystery-type shows, and scary stuff too). They have the first season (10 episodes), and are…

  • Preacher (TV)

    Preacher is absolutely one of my favorite comic series. Seeing a TV adaptation get made can be exciting and scary. After having watched the first episode, I’m feeling pretty good right now, and can’t wait to watch the rest of the season. The casting so far is fantastic, and the tone feels right. I haven’t…

  • Wayward Pines (Season 2)

    I can’t say that the first season of Wayward Pines was particularly great, but it did have a pretty neat twist in the middle that I didn’t see coming, and it was fun to watch for the most part (along with my wife). Season 2 just started, and it’s introducing quite a new setup –…

  • Bloodline

    This is one of those shows that I’ve been wanting to check out for what seems like forever (well, since last year). I didn’t really know what it was about, but had heard that it was pretty good, and with the second season just coming out, I figured I’d finally give it a try. I…
