Thanks for pointing this one out. I had G-Police on PC way back. I remember enjoying, but I think I got stuck at some point and never finished it. Occasionally, I looked it up, but I don't think G-Police is available anywhere now. Sub Culture was another one from around that time with the...

I beat Ruiner It's a twin sticks shooter/beat-em up. It's set in a dystopian cyberpunk world. There's a storyline, but it wasn't very interesting. The game is bogged down by a lot of cutscenes and dialogue. There's even a city section that you go to in between levels (only happens 3 times)...

Played through Doom Legacy of Rust. Continuing playing through the Doom wads during the intermissions of the NHL playoffs. This is the new one that Bethesda added about a year ago. This one was a bit hit or miss. They had different level designers do each level. Two compaigns of 7 missions...

I finished the second season of The Last of Us. I might be misremembering the first season, but I feel like this season was a lot worse. I haven't played the games, but from what I've heard that tracks with the games as well. First, there's the time jump at the start. So, after a year plus...

I finished the new season of Black Mirror. It's a show that's tougher to review since each episode is completely different. Overall, probably an average season. Not too many standout episodes. I think Episode 1 was the standout. Episode 3 was the weak link. Episode 1 “Common People” was...

Played through Doom II: No Rest for the Livin. One of the add-on wads that was buried in one of the GOG releases that I had missed when I did my Doom playthroughs a while ago. I just wanted a game that I could quickly jump in and out of during the intermissions while watching the NHL playoffs...

I just saw this one, and it was pretty good. Like you said, not a lot of action movies lately. Although this one was more of the action-comedy variety. Some of the quips while he's getting beat up early and pleading not to fight were a bit lame, but that's probably my only minor complaint...

I just finished it and I agree. First off, the show went with the least enjoyable superhero storyline trope - the superhero that doesn't want to be a superhero anymore. Everyone knows he's going to wear the suit again, and instead we just get boring melodrama. Muse was a drop-in villain...

I beat Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice It's basically an expansion pack (but a standalone install) for Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Which is basically a modern take on the old Commandos formula. The game controls similar to an RTS style game with a 3/4 view. You...

Yeah, I liked that one. Even the romance at the start was decent. Mostly because I went into it blind. So the start throws you off a bit with the tone of the movie.

I finished Avadon 3 It's from a small indie RPG developer whose games I've enjoyed since the days of CD-ROM demos in PC gaming magazines. The graphics and sound are always a weak point, almost endearingly so. The game systems are generally good as is the writing. Old-school turn-based...

I guess staying up too late and playing games has caught up to me because it's been a while since I managed to play through anything. I keep actually sleeping instead. I played through Guacamelee 2. It's fun. Good, but not great. Another Metroidvania. It's been too long since playing...

Finished watching Tokyo Vice. Good show. About an American journalist that lives in Japan in the 90s and helps invistigate the yakuza. It's two seasons long, 10 episodes each. A mix of Japanese and English. They cancelled the show, but season 2 ends with a satisfying conclusion.

Smile 2 I remember liking the first one, but I actually can't remember a whole lot about what happened. The sequel didn't really add a whole lot. It was a bit long. So at times it felt like not enough was happening. But that did mean they focused a lot on the main character's mental state...

Sorry for your losses. I remember when my 17 year old cat died, it helped to still have another cat in the house. I don't think I could have dealt with packing up things like a litter box. Our neighbourhood has actually had a sudden influx of cats. There's about 4 that show up every once in...
