I spend a lot of my time here reviewing things. It only seems right that I apply this same method of review to my own son, who I received just over a month ago. As of six weeks ago, I received a review unit of a baby to keep. This is fine since in what…
Halo Infinite’s main campaign dropped yesterday so I spent the evening digging into that. If you haven’t played through the intro sequence yet there’s sort of spoilers, so maybe skip it till you’ve played at least until you’ve dropped into the open world zone. I can’t comment on the larger game yet as I’ve not…
Way back in the day A spry young Ridley Scott brought out his directors debut, The Duellists, based off historical accounts of two duelling frenchmen during the Napoleonic wars. The film landed with critical acclaim and launched Ridley’s career on to the many projects we know and love him for today. The 1977 classic still…
Since a little before Covid started wrecking the place I have been going on a bender collecting old gameboys. Primarily I just wanted one of each kind. I’m currently missing the Advance Micro and the standard Advance. My SP is pretty ratty, so maybe another one of those would be good as well. With these…
I like digging up surprise hits from old games. You’d think a franchise like Mario would already have been picked entirely dry. The reverence some people pay this little shit is borderline gross. I guess growing up in a place that didn’t have a massive market penetration of Nintendo meant I missed out a little…
If you’re like me (I guess you probably aren’t) you live in a country that’s pretty isolated and had a faaaairly snappy Covid response, resulting in hardly any COVID-19 cases at all. Living in such a chill place can easily lull you into a know-it-all mentality – which tends to raise its head when new…
This article was originally written for a 2014 issue of M2 magazine. However new numbers that have come out in the intervening 7 years show that things have not changed for the better. Waiting lists for victims wanting to get help for meth addictions are on waiting lists that are now sometimes 5 months long.…
Congratulations, you’ve just been trained to create beautiful things but are about to get paid to create ugly things. Here’s a list of things you should keep in mind while moving your meat sack into the future. I wrote this back in 2014 shortly after I left uni because it was somewhat of a shock…
Over the holidays, I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Oculus Quest 2, which is the perfect way to pacify teenage nephews and terrifying toddler nieces. The Facebook produced VR headset currently stands as the best in class for standalone VR use. It’s almost shockingly easy to pick up and play compared…
Very occasionally I find myself in the mood for a schlocky B-Grade action movie. A Shadow in the Cloud ticks all these boxes and adds a few more boxes just for fun, those being: creature feature & Thriller. You’ll see two sorts of reviews for this movie out there, those are “this movie is ridiculous!…
