The creatures created in 2015’s Jurassic World are trapped on Isla Nublar […]

Clear Eyes, Cup Head, Can’t Lose (Cuphead Review)

October 23, 2017.Reading time 10 minutes.

Like many other residents of the internet, the trailer for a game called Cuphead at the 2014 E3 show, completely blindsided me. The vibrant colors, Betty Boop-esque animation, and ripping jazz soundtrack of this game contrasted so harshly against the gritty and visceral Bloodbornes and Metal Gear Solids premiering that year, that it seemed this […]

Spring Loaded (ARMS First Impressions)

June 5, 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

Given my youthful, some might say babyfaced appearance, it would be easy to mistake me for being hip with all the new trends. However, my true understanding of internet/pop culture is shaky to say the least.
