    So before I was playing Mafia 3 and Watch Dogs 2, I was playing Rise of the Tomb Raider (the 20th Anniversary edition that was released on PS4), and was enjoying the hell out of it. I quite liked the previous game (the Tomb Raider reboot from a few years ago), and from what I…

    I was enjoying the hell out of Mafia 3 last month. I’m a fan of the series – and open world games like this in general – and so was happy to get back into an open world retro setting like this. Yes, a lot of the activities end up being you doing close to…

  • Watch Dogs

    I’d never gotten around to playing the first Watch Dogs, and got access to it about a week before Watch Dogs 2 came out, and so I decided to finally dig in. The weirdest thing was that for a while, I was playing Watch Dogs at lunch time every day (on my PC at work),…

    I had such a blast playing through this game. I loved it from start to finish, except for one part of the final mission that wanted me to go in guns blazing, and I refused to do so because I’d played the entire game stealthy and pretty much never using a gun (and after like…

    Well, now I know that Pokémon games just aren’t for me. I’d never played a proper Pokémon game before (had never had an interest), but decided to take Pokémon Moon out for a spin, just to try and understand why so many people love these games. I put in 2 hours, and just couldn’t get…

  • The Grand Tour

    There was a time when I really liked watching Top Gear. And then, as the seasons went on, I started getting pretty tired of Clarkson’s nationalist and sexist remarks – meant as jokes, but not funny – and then after he did the thing that got him fired, I was pretty much over this ass.…

    This came out earlier this year, but it’s just been added to Hulu Japan, and so we watched the first episode today (which is the only episode available, as they’ll be releasing them weekly). Based on that first episode alone, it’s hard to tell if this is going to good or not (I’ve avoided reading…

    I’m a huge Bond fan, but I do quite like the Bourne movies too, and so was pretty excited to see this latest one, especially since it sees the return of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass (as director). It did take me a while to get into it, and I was really weirded out by…

  • Aim for the Ace!

    You may remember that a few weeks ago I shared a really great primer on 80s anime. Since I’ve been enjoying dipping back into some of those old series, I decided to go one step further and try following that complete primer, going through everything that is recommended. Since it sticks to movies and OVAs,…

  • Daicon III & IV

    Following on my 80s anime playlist, I re-watched the two Daicon shorts, which I still find to be fantastic, especially the second one. These are animated shorts that were created for two conventions — Daicon III and IV — and have never been released commercially since they liberally borrow from all sorts of famous properties.…
