Despicable Me 2
I thought the first one was pretty fun to watch, but this one felt like it was just going through the motions. Sure, still had a few laughs, and I did like the Kristen Wiig character, but for the most part it didn’t really grab me much. Don’t think I’ll watch a third one, if…

Don Jon
Was really looking forward to watching this, and yeah, it’s a pretty fun movie. Great job on the first-time directing gig – I especially liked that rhythmic editing bit that he uses to highlight every time the main character jerks off.

Lords of Waterdeep
I love this board game – I have the physical copy – and I’m very happy to have it on iOS as well, with asynchronous multiplayer. It’s basically a European-style resource management game, with a Dungeons & Dragons skin on it, which I quite like.

24/7 Red Wings/Maple Leafs: Road to the NHL Winter Classic
I really love this series. I’ve watched the previous 2 seasons they’ve done, and if anything, really wish that it was a year-long thing that followed multiple teams, and not just this short 4-episode run that we get. It’s an HBO reality series that follows the 2 teams that will face each other at the…

NHL 14
I love hockey, and I love watching the Canadiens play – something I stopped doing for about 20 years, but got back into last year. The last time I remember really playing a lot of video game hockey is NHL 2K on the Dreamcast – we’d have hockey playing sessions in my living room, using…

Elysium
Even though I have so much love for District 9, I came into this with lowered expectations, because I’d been hearing from many people that it wasn’t all that great. Well, maybe it’s because of those low expectations, but I sure loved this. For me, it starts with the world design, as I really loved…

Colossatron
I hadn’t heard anything about this game before it came out, but seeing that it was from Halfbrick I figured it was definitely worth the buck, and wow, consider this another Jetpack Joyride-like addictathon. Such a great idea, to have you play a Zuma’s Revenge-type game, but making it so that you are arming a…

Almost Human
After having learned my lesson from Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – a show I was excited about after watching the first episode, but that I quit with the second – I wanted to give Almost Human a few episodes before I write about whether I like it or not. The verdict? I do like it,…

République
I will say, this is one damn cool game. I really enjoyed playing through this – takes about 2 hours to go through this first episode – and I really can’t wait for the next episodes to come out. My favorite aspect of the game is that you are not really controlling the character of…

Sex Criminals
The main reason I started this Tumblr blog about a year ago was because I wanted to keep track of the media I consume, and also to make it easier to refer to what I enjoyed the most throughout the year, when it comes to writing up my “favorite media of the year” post, that…
