  • Clash Royale

    ā€”

    ,

    Iā€™ve dabbled in Clash of Clans, and it never really grabbed me, but I was curious to check out Supercellā€™s new spinoff game, Clash Royale – what can I say, I tend to be a sucker when the wordĀ ā€œcardā€ is mentioned. Iā€™ve played a bunch so far, and Iā€™m still having a lot of fun…

  • Lifeline

    ā€”

    ,

    This game happens to be free this week on the App Store, but I bought it over the holidays, and my wife and I ended up having quite a bit of fun with it – in fact, we bought the bundle that includes all 3 games in the series. Itā€™s a text adventure game, to…

  • Magic: The Gathering – Puzzle Quest

    ā€”

    ,

    Iā€™ve been playing MagicĀ pretty much since its inception, and I was a huge fan of the original Puzzle Quest game, so seeing that there was a game (on iOS) out that combines the two, I was wondering if this would be the Reeseā€™s Pieces of games. Well, it sure is fun, thatā€™s for sure. I…

  • TurboGrafx-16

    ā€”

    ,

    I of course knew very well of the TurboGrafx-16, and wouldnā€™t have minded having one back in the day, but that wasnā€™t the case, and none of my friends had one either, so I never got to play those games other than at demo kiosks at the mall. For some reason, during the holiday break,…

  • Blind Pig Who Wants to Fly

    ā€”

    ,

    Yesterday I got on a free month-long trial of the Mubi service, which I find to be quite a neat idea: it offers up a curated selection of films, 1 new every day, which stays available for 30 days. The selection is on the arty side, which is something I havenā€™t been consuming a lot…

  • Steve Jobs

    ā€”

    ,

    What a fantastic film. Who cares that itā€™s a narrative construction that is inspired by the life of Jobs – thatā€™s probably why itā€™s such an entertaining film to watch. No big surprise that the backdrop for the story is of course something Iā€™d be into – I think Iā€™ve been pretty clear when talking…

  • The Hateful Eight

    ā€”

    ,

    Holy shit did I ever love this movie. I was absolutely mesmerized from start to finish, to a point where I barely felt the time go by, which is saying something for a 3-hour film (I didnā€™t even want it to end). With everything Tarantino so fresh in my mind, although I still canā€™t say…

  • Django Unchained

    ā€”

    ,

    And with this, my Tarantino marathon comes to an end (until of course I watch The Hateful Eight). As with Inglourious Basterds, Iā€™d only watched Django Unchained once, and so didnā€™t remember it as much as I did all the other Tarantino movies Iā€™ve watched over the last few days. Also, I seemed to remember…
