Celeste has very clean pixel art that I enjoy a lot. The mountains and the snow look simple but they have personality. When you climb higher, the background changes and you can see more of the sky and clouds. I like the small details like the flags moving or the birds flying. Even when the game...

Eh, I’m not sold yet. Card-based system sounds complicated for new players and I don’t trust IDW to explain rules clearly after some of their comic issues. Also splitting the starter set and rulebook is annoying, feels like they want more money from us. Warhammer designers are good but Godzilla...

Prospect is a smaller indie one on a toxic moon where people mine rare gems. A teen girl and her dad get caught in greed, betrayal, and survival. It shows how resource tech creates desperate moral choices—kill for profit, trust strangers, or die poor. No fancy AI, but the consequences of...

Yeah the resilience thing is what keeps bringing me back. Rocky isn’t some invincible hero—he’s just stubborn and refuses to quit on himself. That’s why the training montages work so hard; you see the real effort. Creed does the same but updates it. I honestly believe it stands alone fine. Sure...

Pretty neat move by DC. Sponsoring five future guide dogs and giving them hero names is a win. The quote from Anne DePies actually sounds genuine—not just corporate fluff. Last year's SDCC dogs were a hit so this should be even bigger. Looking forward to seeing them at Comic-Con this summer...

As someone who builds Lego with my kid, these sets feel completely out of reach. Pokemon is supposed to be friendly and fun, but these prices turn it into something stressful. I know Lego says these are adult sets, but Pokemon is not an adult-only brand. My kid asked about Pikachu and I had to...

The most awkward moment just happened watching this trailer while eating a lamb chop. It’s impossible not to notice the irony, and suddenly the whole movie feels way more personal. Laughing while chewing becomes difficult when the main characters are literally the animals on your plate. It’s a...

“They Called Us Enemy” hit me really hard when I first read it in print. I think putting it on Webtoon is actually a great idea. More people, especially students, can read it now without needing to buy the book. That’s so important, because the story has deep meaning and talks about real history...

’ll probably check out Yaiba: Samurai Legend since it’s coming to Netflix. I don’t know much about it, but the description makes it sound like a mix of action and comedy, which I enjoy. It’s interesting that Viz didn’t release a trailer yet, though. Maybe they’re keeping things under wraps until...

I watched Victorious here and there, but I wasn’t obsessed with it. Still, I think this is an interesting idea. It’s cool that they’re giving a side character a chance to shine, and I like that the show is moving forward instead of just bringing everyone back for nostalgia’s sake. If the new...

I understand why Netflix canceled 'Sandman.' While it's a fantastic show, we can't ignore the serious sexual harassment allegations against Neil Gaiman. Supporting the show would imply condoning his actions. We need to hold people in power accountable for their behavior, regardless of their...

Hulu has been on a roll with its originals, and This Is Not Hollywood is no exception. The courtroom scenes and family interviews were so intense—I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. Federica Pala is definitely one to watch!

This game seems to offer a good mix of strategy and storytelling, which I appreciate. The deception element with the Suspense cards adds a layer of complexity that could make for some really interesting plays. Definitely need to learn more about the point system and how the Ending Cards work...

I'm really hoping "The Beast Within" finally brings back the terrifying werewolves we used to know. I'm so tired of overly sexualized and CGI-heavy werewolves that just don’t capture the horror of the original legends. Kit Harington is a fantastic actor, and I’m optimistic that his performance...

I like that Crunchyroll is releasing standard and limited edition versions of their Blu-rays. That way, fans who just want the anime itself can get it at a lower price point, while those who want the extra goodies can splurge on the Limited Edition. I'll probably be going for the standard...
