The report missed Doctor X .

That's what I will miss him for - his conversations about the bills and receiving fresh Melon are absolute classic comedy.

Silent Hill 2 (2024) Video Game Review

Oct 16, 12:00

games

The Silent Hill 2 remake introduces a fun gameplay experience that pays proper respect to its iconic predecessor. ― The original Silent Hill 2 is a horror classic. In terms of aesthetic and psychological intrigue, not only was it groundbreaking when it came out, but you could argue that it inspired an entire generation of horror games.

ATRI: My Dear Moments Anime Series Review

Oct 15, 12:00

8 comments

anime

Because ATRI can't decide what sort of story it wants to be, it fails to excel at anything it attempts, ultimately becoming a lukewarm mishmash of genres. ― Anime based on visual novels must often take drastic measures to cram their frequently verbose, lengthy stories into digestible animated form. Sometimes, this works spectacularly well (Steins;Gate), conversely it can lead to disaster (Umineko, Ts...

live-action

Titan ballads, giant balloons and puppets, and aerial artistry brought Hajime Isayama's iconic manga to life. ― “Are you a cult? Is this musical based on a cult manga or anime?” I was half-surprised when an English-speaking, middle-aged press attendee asked this at the Attack on Titan: The Musical press conference. The answer would have been a Google away. Still, perhaps the woman's confusion was to ...

Ys X: Nordics follows Adol Christin once again as he sets sail on a new adventure, but the game harkens back to older Ys games with a charming PS2 look. ― Ys X: Nordics is the latest entry in the action RPG series, Ys.

If there's chicken soup for sick days, Ramen Akaneko is the anime version of that. ― If there's chicken soup for sick days, Ramen Akaneko is the anime version of that. It comforts like a warm blanket, asking nothing of the viewer, except maybe occasional sympathy and understanding.
