Metroid Prime 4 is pretty good

Clearly the result of development hell, but it's not that bad of a game. It's fine.

Is redemption possible for Hazbin Hotel? Season 2 (and Helluva Boss) review

I've returned to Hazbin Hotel for a followup review! Season 2 is a marked improvement in many ways, but is it enough to outweigh the show's continued issues with its tone, themes, and politics?

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds review - It's great, but...

After a few weeks of playing, it's clear that this is the best Sonic racing game ever... but when it's so close to perfection, it makes the few aspects that are lacking only stand out to me.

Reviewing and ranking every Star Trek movie

The TOS movies, the TNG movies, the "Kelvin Timeline" movies, and, yes, even the dreadful new Section 31. My ranking of that last one will shock you. (It won't.)

Thoughts on Sonic 3!

My full thoughts on Sonic 3, a fun popcorn flick with a lot of Sonic Adventure 2 fanservice that's also still very much The Third Paramount Sonic Movie, for good and for ill.

Cool comics I've been reading, September 2024

Yes, this is primarily an excuse for me to gush about Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers and Ryan North's Fantastic Four.

Berserk Boy review: Hey, wait a minute...

A decent sidescroller that drove me a little crazy and made me consider where the line between loving homage and shameless copy lies.

A tale of three Triguns

Comparing and contrasting the ways the three versions of the series portray Vash as a character, with both anime adaptations taking the source material in very different directions.

Knuckles show review - I derive a sort of sick pleasure from this

When judged purely in terms of its faithfulness as an adaptation of the Sonic games, this is quite possibly the franchise's worst adaptation ever. It's often barely even about Knuckles.

...So then why do I kinda like it?

Sonic Prime: Season 3 - This show sucks (Plus: The canonicity discourse)

This last batch of episodes has left me feeling disappointed with the show as a whole, though maybe not for the exact same reasons the fandom focused on.
