    Always good to have Luther back for another go. Iā€™m not sure if this fourth season is going to be 2 or 3 episodes long, but Iā€™ll take whatever I can get. After watching the first episode, at first I didnā€™t like how it was taking too much time dealing with Alice, which I thought…

  • Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

    So hereā€™s the second spy movie I see this year that is about losing trust from the people you work for, while you uncover an evil shadowy organization that is looking to destabilize the world. It really is eery how Rogue Nation follows the same basic blueprint as SPECTRE (and vice versa), but it didnā€™t…

  • Ex Machina

    This is one of those movies that Iā€™ve been meaning to watch all year – felt so much like something Iā€™d really enjoy. What a fantastic little story, told in a delicate, if somewhat claustrophobic way, with great performances from everyone. When you see a movie get so much praise, it often leads to disappointment,…

  • The Force Awakens

    The question is not really how much did I enjoy this movie, but rather, how many times will I go see it in theatres before Iā€™m satisfied. The praise for this film seems pretty much universal – at least from the reactions from my friends Iā€™m seeing on my social media timelines – but yeah,…

  • Losing Your Edge

    This is the lost post I referred to recently, which to my surprise suddenly popped up again in my draft folder, and so Iā€™ve decided to share it as is, along with a little update at the end. The Magaziner returns. Sorta. In recent weeks, Iā€™ve been feeling the itch to bring back The Magaziner…

  • Sparrow Racing League

    Thereā€™s no denying that Destiny has played a huge role in my gaming life this year – it also has the distinction of being the game Iā€™ve played the most, ever (total hours). Sometime in late October I did finally burn out on it – partly in frustration that I wasnā€™t managing to level up…

  • Assassinā€™s Creed Chronicles: China

    I picked this up a while back during a PSN sale, but hadnā€™t gotten around to really spending time with it until recently. I gotta say, Iā€™m having a really good time playing this. I absolutely love the stealth gameplay in 2D, and the art direction is really fantastic, deeply inspired by traditional Chinese art.…

    During last weekā€™s PSN holiday sale I picked up telltaleā€™s Game of Thrones for a steal (as well as Tales of the Borderlands), and started playing episode 2 last night on PS4 (I played episode 1 on iPad when it first released last year). I quite enjoyed the first episode, story-wise, and what Iā€™ve played…

    This is one of those comic series that I missed jumping on when it launched, and then kept hearing tons of good things about it from friends, but was too lazy (or just forgot) to check it out. With the year-endĀ ā€œbest ofā€ lists popping up, I was reminded that I should finally get around to…

    Itā€™s a comic about a dude with a sword who lops off heads, while carrying a talking witchā€™s head in a bag. Itā€™s awesome. The art is fantastic and super dynamic. The first issue came out in September, and itā€™s a quarterly, and so the next issue should be out this month. Each issue is…
