I took part in a Reddit writing prompt (r/writingprompts) recently, it’s a subreddit which has always interested me, but being on the other side of the pond to most of reddit’s user-base means I’m usually far too late to any posts for commenting to be worthwhile. But I saw one which was only a fewContinue reading “The Warrior and the Sword”

Sonic the Hedgehog
Exactly one day after watching Parasite I was in the cinema again, only this time to see Sonic the Hedgehog, and boy, what a contrast that was. Going from the Oscar-winning South Korean dramatic thriller that was Parasite to, well… Sonic the Hedgehog, was perhaps the wrong way around to see those films but itContinue reading “Sonic the Hedgehog”
Parasite
Parasite is the first non-English language film to win the Best Picture award at the Oscars in the history of the award. That was the driving factor behind me seeing this film in the cinema, and I expect I’m far from alone in that fact. So straight to the crux of the matter: Does itContinue reading “Parasite”
Dota 2: Regional Leagues
Valve have recently announced that, after this year’s TI10, the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) is making a change from the current Major / Minor tournament format to a Regional League / Major format, whereby these Regional Leagues help decide who gets invited to each Major. Furthermore, the year is being split up into 3 seasons,Continue reading “Dota 2: Regional Leagues”
The Lighthouse
I saw The Lighthouse at the weekend and thought it was a suitably complex film to start my foray into the world of film reviews. Before I begin, I should point out that I’m typically an action/comedy movie goer, so The Lighthouse is pretty far from my usual movie experience. Nonetheless I tried to goContinue reading “The Lighthouse”
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Where do I begin with this game… First off I should say that this might come across as a somewhat biased review, because this might possibly be my favourite game of all time. It’s certainly up there, I haven’t sat down and made a list, but this definitely makes the shortlist and, at worst, isContinue reading “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”
Vermintide II
As most of you will be aware, even if you aren’t Chinese, it’s the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Rat this year. Whilst for most people this won’t impact their lives too much, for (un)fortunate companies who (for some reason) chose the humble rat as their mascot, this is their marketing team’s wet dream. OneContinue reading “Vermintide II”
Styx: Master of Shadows
Styx: Master of Shadows is the first game in the Styx franchise, and whilst it is now 5 years old I only completed it at the end of last year, it still holds up pretty well. Though it is prone to a few bugs, it seems to handle better than its sequel, Styx: Shards ofContinue reading “Styx: Master of Shadows”
Gunpoint
Gunpoint is best described as a point and click puzzle game, at least that’s how I played it. You take on the role of a freelance detective investigating the murder of someone you may or may not know, but are heavily implicated in the murder of. I was drawn to this game through its trailerContinue reading “Gunpoint”
Humble beginnings
Most recently I’ve started foraying into game reviews, as such I’m going to post a few of these, mostly to make sure I have some content here. These are still in their first-draft phase, so if you do read them maybe take them with a pinch of salt and use them to get a feelContinue reading “Humble beginnings”
