So I've played the original Metroid games. Can't say I've finished all of them, just the 3rd (Super Metroid) and 4th (Metroid Fusion). "Then how the hell do you expect to review these games reliably? What the hell!? Are you turning into one of those half-a-fag game journalists who bitch about games being too difficult … Continue reading Metroid 1-4 (1987-2002; 2004; 2016) game series review

A response to a #BLM supporter.
A "review" for the film The Hate U Give made by Letterboxd user ScreeningNotes: ”It is impossible to be unarmed when our blackness is the weapon that they fear.” The police is a racist institution. White people have more social, political, and economic privilege than black people. That needs to change. If you think Blue Lives … Continue reading A response to a #BLM supporter.
RE:Critical Drinker’s “Rambo: Last Blood – A Total Disappointment” video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LKaBY222KQ Ok Critical Drinker. It's time for another drunk reviewer to show how you done fucked up with your critique of this film. First off, Rambo IV is a bit overrated. Sure, the finale is great stuff, but the story really isn't much better than what they came up with for Rambo V. It's just … Continue reading RE:Critical Drinker’s “Rambo: Last Blood – A Total Disappointment” video

Rated: 4.5 / 5 "I'm sorry to differ with you sir. But *you* are the Caretaker. You have *always* been the Caretaker. I should know sir, I have *always* been here."

Phantasy Star I-IV (1988-1995) review
A couple months ago I felt this urge to go back to retro gaming. I don't mean retro PC, I don't mean downloading an emulated game on the PC. I mean actual old-school console gaming. But I found myself in a predicament. I used to own a Sega Genesis, and a decent game collection for … Continue reading Phantasy Star I-IV (1988-1995) review
Alita: Battle Angle (2019) review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So when this first came out, there were some mixed reactions to it. Then Captain Marvel came out, and a lot of people were like, "See Alita instead, it's way better." Then it went from that to, "Alita is the best female action movie of the year!" Like Captain Marvel was … Continue reading Alita: Battle Angle (2019) review
