I've been trying to make my way through the first season of Sailor Moon Crystal, and finding it to be a chore. For me, it's missing the charm of the original series, and I don't feel that this new iteration brings anything fresh to the table, at least story-wise. It doesn't help that I can't get beh...

I was lured into seeing Ghost in the Shell in the theater, fooled into thinking there was a chance it might be good. It won't happen again :lol: Sadly, the CGI eyes are a huge turn-off for me and I can't say that I'm intrigued by anything I've seen in that first trailer. Though I am surprised this m...

The first Danger Zone One audio drama has just been released! At the moment, it's exclusive to Patreon supporters at the $3 tier and above, who will get early access to the 20 minute audio drama. It took a bit of time to pull this project together, but I'm thrilled with the end result. https://www.p...

This weekend I'll be playing the Gundam Versus open beta on the PS4 (hopefully it'll finish downloading today)!
