  • Thumper

    —

    Not only have I been wanting to play Thumper for a while (yes, a recurring theme in the posts I’m writing today), but I wanted to play it even more after I watched a GDC talk by one of the creators (a post-mortem on the game’s creation). I figured it was something I’d pick up…

  • Pyre

    —

    I love both of Supergiant’s previous games, Bastion and Transistor, and so that alone should have made me want to jump in right away on a new game from them. And although I knew I’d eventually give Pyre a go, the fact that most of the gameplay revolves around a fantasy sport did turn me…

  • What Remains of Edith Finch

    —

    Just like Tacoma, this was another game I knew I’d get around to playing, and was just waiting for the right time — I grabbed it at the start of the year during a PSN sale, along with Pyre and Thumper (two other games I’d been wanting to play). It’s been a critical darling since…

  • Tacoma

    —

    This was a game I’d been wanting to play ever since release, and was just waiting for the right time to get around to it — it also had to be something I play on my work PC, because I don’t have a PC at home, or an Xbox One. I finally grabbed it at…

  • Before I Wake

    —

    I ended up watching this last night because my wife wanted to watch it — I knew nothing about it. It’s actually quite a decent thriller/horror film, with a pretty interesting story (an orphaned boy’s dreams can come to life), and a satisfying ending. Some good creepy shots too. Well worth watching if you’re on…

  • Everything Sucks

    —

    This has been described as Freaks & Geeks but set in the 90s, and that’s actually not a bad description. I’m 5-6 episodes in, and having a really good time watching it. The kids are great, the story is fun, and the soundtrack is, well, it’s pretty much all the stuff that I was listening…

  • Justice League

    —

    I’m going to say that I didn’t really like this, and you’re going to say, no shit, but I was actually thinking I would find something to like here. I’m that guy who actually liked Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, and so I figured this would be more of that (i.e. give me…

  • A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

    —

    I didn’t remember much about this one before I watched it — including the fact that it features Patricia Arquette and Lawrence Fishburne — but then as I was watching it the various Freddie moments felt incredibly familiar, almost iconic (the puppet strings, the TV set, etc.) This was definitely more fun to watch than…
