All reviewsInto the Breach2018
5 out of 5 starsDespite various repeated attempts, I have never been able to get into rougelike games. Things like Spelunky, Binding of Issac, and Enter the Gungeon are really great when you are having a good run and have a lot of cool stuff, but the fact that you can lose everything in an instant and have to start all over again from scratch just to get the chance to make that awesome super badass character again is incredibly…
God of War2018
3 out of 5 starsI love love love the God of War franchise. I think each game in the series brings something to the table and I have enjoyed playing through each of them multiple times. The PS4 release of God of War acts as a welcome refresh for the series, helping redefine and reimagine what this franchise can be. Not all of it works, but at its core it is still very much a God of War game and very much a continuation of the story…
Old Man's Journey2017
4 out of 5 starsIt is always impressive when a piece of media can make you feel multiple emotions without any dialogue. Old Man's Journey is a story driven game that tells its narrative entirely through imagery. The art and soundtrack work in tandem to create a serene experience as an old man goes on a journey and recalls events in his life. Gameplay is comprised of very simple point and click puzzles that serve as an excuse to…
Sonic Mania2017
2 out of 5 starsI have no nostalgia for Sonic. I had a SNES and followed that up with a PS-One and never owned any of the Sega consoles. Even when Sonic games went multiplatform I never bought any of the games. I might have spent a few seconds playing the originals whenever I would buy a Sega game collection but I never got deep into it because I didn't like the controls and why would I waste time playing Sonic when I could spend…

Dec 30, 2020
It has been a year . Like, on top of all the other craziness going on this year, I decided this was going to be the year I did the "52 games in one year" challenge. To add to that, I also decided I was only going to count games that released in 2020. Now, anyone who has visited any digital games store knows that there are a ton of games that release every single week so despite playing so many...

I meant to put this up a long time ago but never got to it. Now COVID-19 has given me some free time so I figure I might as well post my list now for anyone looking for a good way to pass the time while they are locked indoors. For more movie recommendations, you can see my favorite movies of 2018 here . For TV and videogame recommendations, my favorite TV shows of 2019 can be found here and my...
Games of the Year 2019 - DarthOrange Edition
Dec 27, 2019
It is time for my obligatory GotY list. This particular year was pretty alright. I seem to be pretty hot or cold on video games depending on the year but this one was sufficiently satisfactory. I played a total of 22 video games this year, although only ten of them really stood out in 2019. You can read my thoughts on the other games I played that are not listed by following this link . If you...
TV Shows of the Year: 2019 Edition
Dec 24, 2019
2019 was yet another incredibly strong year for TV. You know things are going well when 7/10 of the shows on this list were new for 2019. Special shout out in particular to Big Mouth, which continues to be hilarious, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which continues to be campy fun. And of course to Stranger Things. The "Scooby Doo hijinks set in the 80s" aesthetic continues awesome, but Nanc...
Movies of the Year: 2018 Edition
Mar 9, 2019
In 2018 I saw more movies in theaters that in any other year in my life. And even so, there are a ton of big movies that I missed. I originally postponed making this thread so that I would have the chance to watch more 2018 movies and have a more complete sense of the year. But then life ended up being busy and I didn't actually get the chance to catch up on my backlog. At this point we are so...
Best TV Shows of 2018
Jan 13, 2019
I have found that as the years go on I enjoy watching TV way more than I do playing videogames. I do think that a large part of it is the initial investment needed to figure out a new game. Tutorials can go on for way too long and if a story is boring and the gameplay is anything less than spectacular then I just feel like I am wasting my time. TV on the other hand has such a low barrier to ent...
