Beware spoilers for Doki Doki Literature Club, and UnderTale
A bunch of friends recently sat me down to play Doki Doki Literature Club. If you have no idea what a Doki Doki Literature club is, it's an easy way to spend four hours reinforcing to yourself how Visual Novels aren't really for you.

What Steven Universe Means To Me
Steven Universe didn't come into my life at a particularly difficult point. I wasn't looking for a new show to watch, I wasn't in a particularly difficult state of mind, I wasn't in one of the many dark periods of my life. In fact, I hadn't heard much about the show until I saw JelloApocalypse's video....

Let's have a chat about game diffiulty
I’ve been ruminating on game difficulty some. Whilst I don’t want to go into the Cuphead debacle, I’ll concede that some valid questions were asked and we owe it to ourselves as consumers and to the game industry to try and come to a consensus, or at least to figure out what the mainstream and niche...

I Really Liked Dark Souls 2
(I love this animation with all my heart.)
Dark Souls 2 is the ignored middle child of the franchise. A lot of fans hate it, a lot of fans like it but wouldn't call it their favourite, and then there's me.
I really liked Dark Souls 2. Maybe even a little more than Dark Souls 1.
To clarify, I played...

Dragon Ball Evolution

This movie sucked. I'm not going to make any pretenses about that, Dragonball Evolution was a mess, more of a mess than my life is at any given point and that's saying something.
But for all the...

Trying To Overcome Failure
If I don't try, I don't fail, right? I'm trying, but I'm just scared. It's a big risk. What if I'm incapable of doing it? What if I try and I fail anyway? I feel so goddamn worthless all the time, I don't...

What Metroid Means To Me

You've heard it all before. In the 80s, there weren't a whole lot of female protagonists in games. Then came Metroid on the NES in 1986, and rumours wildly circulated about who was under the armour,...

Review: Marvel's The Defenders

The Defenders was a breath of fresh air for me. I'd actually started to lose faith in the Netflix shows after Iron Fist soured my opinion to the extent that I couldn't bring myself to rewatch Jessica...

Gender. Let's Educate Ourselves.
"Gender is like the twin towers. There used to be two of them, but now it's a really sensitive topic."
~Meme that showed up on my Facebook feed
I admit I laughed when I first read that little nugget of wisdom. Gender seems to be one of the most contentious issues of the last few years or so and we...

Faith.
I am not a man of faith.
The world is built upon arbitrary truths. They are provable, they are tangible, they are usually resolute. For every action, there is a reaction. And while I may not know the first link, I can trace the chain back far enough to come to a satisfactory answer. As I grew into...

Two years later; Does my Disdain For Organised Religion Still Hold?
If you've ever been disillusioned from a belief system you were indoctrinated into as a child, it's understandable that you'd bear some animosity towards it.
And when I drew the straw that broke the camel's back I had to watch a part of me crumble into dust without as much as a warning. I was mad....
