  • My Ham Sandwich

    —

    It’s the simple things. Here’s what my favorite sandwich that I make at home looks like: bread in the form of a baguette fromGontran Cherrier, a little bit of mayonnaise (Kewpie, if you must know), and then slices of ham. That’s it. I remember making this sandwich once and a friend made some sort of…

  • Space Dandy

    —

    ,

    Shinichiro Watanabe’s new series, Space Dandy, has started, and although I wasn’t particularly excited by the trailers, I was still going to watch this because it’s by Watanabe. After one episode, although I loved the crazy sudden ending, I’m not that sold on the setting and especially the main characters – not getting a Cowboy…

  • Orphan Black

    —

    ,

    I kept hearing really good things about this series, and so finally decided to give it a go, and I’m sure glad I did. I’m only 2 episodes in (of a 10-episode first season) and really digging the slow reveal of what is really happening here – as the main character starts discovering clones of…

  • Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force

    —

    ,

    I love pinball, I love Zen Pinball 2, and I especially love the Star Wars tables. I recently got the second set of SW tables that were released for the game, Balance of the Force, and wow. I truly believe that these are the best Star Wars games that have come out in years. I…

  • Don’t Starve

    —

    ,

    I was really excited about getting to play this on PS4 – and yes, yet another freebie for PlayStation Plus members. I haven’t played that much yet, but it’s pretty interesting so far, although I still am not doing great at all. But I think I’m finally getting a handle on what it is I…

  • Urban Trial Freestyle

    —

    ,

    This is also currently free if you’re a PlayStation Plus member – for Vita – and I really got addicted to playing it yesterday. I didn’t think I’d be into playing a “trials” game – I seem to remember trying Trials HD (different series) on XBLA, and not being interested in dealing with the difficulty…

  • DMC: Devil May Cry

    —

    ,

    This is currently free if you’re a PlayStation Plus member, so I’m finally getting around to playing it. Even though this is not usually a kind of game I seek out – combo fighters – I had been wanting to play it because it’s from Ninja Theory, and so I expected good things – I…

  • Aku no Hana

    —

    ,

    I wrote about Aku no Hana when I first started watching it last fall, and wanted to write this follow-up now that I’m done watching the first season – I’d only watched the first 6 episodes, and so now finally got around to watching the rest (the last 7, that I watched in one go).…
