  • Ali Wong: Baby Cobra

    I laughed so damn much watching this. I actually wasn’t really aware of Ali Wong, but had noticed that she was a guest on the WTF podcast last week (and have now listened to the episode), and so when I saw her stand-up special pop up on Netflix I decided to check it out, and…

  • Fantastic Four

    Yup, this is not a good movie at all. It’s just, boring. It takes 40 minutes before they actually do something (go into the other dimension), and after that, the whole story is just nothing. They get back, have powers, and oh, end up facing Doom who stayed there. And Doom is just so silly…

  • Tropico 5

    I’ve always been curious about the Tropico games, but have never played one until now (thanks, PlayStation Plus). The sim genre is admittedly not one I get very excited about, but I have had fun with some in the past – I never go really deep with them though. I’ve just gone through the tutorials…

  • Switch Galaxy Ultra

    Also in the PlayStation Plus lineup this month is Switch Galaxy Ultra, which from the screenshots looked pretty awesome to me. Although it looks like a hover racer, it’s a bit more limited than that, and instead plays more like the grinding levels in a Ratchet game. I haven’t spent that much time with it,…

  • Table Top Racing: World Tour

    On top of all the games I’ve been able to play courtesy of the “Friends of Nintendo” Humble Bundle, it’s also the start of a new month, which means new games from PlayStation Plus. I was quite looking forward to playing Table Top Racing – I sure love me some racing – and after putting in…

  • Overwatch (Open Beta 2)

    Another open beta for Overwatch, and yet again, I find myself having such a blast playing this game, even though multiplayer online shooters are not usually really my thing. I just love the look of the game so much, and the diverse lineup of characters are just so much fun, and I always have a…

  • Citizens of Earth

    I’ll mention one last game I’ve been playing from the Nintendo Bundle, and that’s Citizens of Earth. For some reason, when you get the keys from the bundle, you have to choose whether you want the Wii U or 3DS version of this game, and so I picked Wii U. I must say, I’m having…

  • Darksiders II

    Another game in the Nintendo bundle is Darksiders II, which I had started playing a long time ago on PS3 I think (probably bought it in a sale or got it through PlayStation Plus) but got distracted somehow and never got back to it (and I don’t have a PS3 anymore). I quite liked the…

  • Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse

    I’ve been curious about playing one of these Shantae games for quite a while, and that Nintendo bundle has finally given me the chance. It’s a retro-influenced 2D platformer, and through the bundle you get both Wii U and 3DS versions. I first started playing on the Wii U, but then when I later tried…

  • Affordable Space Adventures

    You still have 1 day to get in on the “Friends of Nintendo” Humble Bundle, and if you haven’t already taken advantage of this ridiculously good deal, I encourage you to do so. I’ve been getting some play time on most of the stuff I got, and one of the games I’ve been enjoying the most…
