Ghost in the Shell
After getting back into Ghost in the Shell recently through the Arise series and the new movie, I wanted to go back and re-watch the original Mamoru Oshii film. It’s always interesting for me to re-visit these movies that I watched so many times back in the day, but haven’t watched in years (in this…

Evoland 2
I got this game as part of the current Humble Eye Candy Bundle (ends in 3 days), and boy am I digging it. The idea is that it’s an RPG that plays around with RPG eras, and so you’ll be playing with it looking like an NES-era Zelda game, but then you’ll also experience a…

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…

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…
