Mirrored from the original post on Thanks Ken Penders. On December 10th, 2018, I was on the last day of a trip to Milwaukee. The night before, I'd attended the wedding of one of my best friends, Jake, who I've known since high school. Even…

Did you know they make comic books that don't star Sonic the Hedgehog? Or even any of his friends? Shocking, I know! Did you also know that, instead of waiting for live action adaptations that mostly end up being mediocre, you can just go straight to the…

Berserk Boy, released earlier this year, is a game I enjoyed moment to moment, but I wish I enjoyed it more. As it stands, it's overall a pretty good game that I hope did well enough to warrant a sequel to refine its ideas further,…

Recently, Anthony and I watched the original 1998 Trigun anime, one of my boyfriend’s favorites that I'd always meant to get around to. I enjoyed it a lot. Immediately after this, we figured we'd watch Orange's modernized CGI take on the series from last year,…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. The announcement of a live action Knuckles streaming miniseries was surprising, to say the least. I mean, what would such a show even be about in a version of the Sonic universe with no Angel…

I never expected to watch Hazbin Hotel, the raunchy musical dramedy about demons created by Vivienne “VivziePop” Medrano. (No, not that one. The one with the wolf girl is Helluva Boss. This is the other one.) I just don’t vibe with the characters, the aesthetics,…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. Well, here we are. The final seven episodes of Sonic Prime are out on Netflix, concluding the story of Sonic’s adventures in the Shatterverse. I’ve previously shared my thoughts on the first and second seasons,…

This was originally posted on Tumblr to my Spider-Man blog, Thanks Steve Ditko. I beat the main story of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and have enjoyed my time with the game overall! I want to talk about spoilers and things that I liked and disliked in the…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. Superstars is out! And guess what? It’s good! It’s a worthy new entry in the series, and I mostly like it. Mostly. Except for the handful of parts I don’t. As usual, allow me to…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. So I wrote a whole long thing about Amy’s tarot cards, but what about, you know… the rest of the Sonic Frontiers DLC? The new alternate story route, the hours of new gameplay, all that?…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. Eight more episodes of Sonic Prime are out! They’re labeled as “season 2” despite just being the next eight episodes of the first (and presumably only) season, allowing Netflix to market it as multiple seasons…

Final Fantasy XVI is an easy game to make assumptions about. From the moment it was unveiled, many worried that it would be overly bleak and nihilistic in a series that’s usually anything but. That it would use its newfound ability to more directly depict…

I have now finally seen the Mario movie. It was Pretty Good. Here are my wordy thoughts on it. (I am going to spoil the entire movie. Duh.) In many ways, the Mario movie does what I wish the first Sonic movie had done. They…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. The first eight episodes of Sonic Prime are out! I've been busy for obvious reasons this past week (I kinda released a video game), but I've now seen all eight episodes, and as such can…

It‘s a miracle that Sonic Frontiers is as good as it is. I don’t mean that I’m shocked a 3D Sonic game is fun. I like 3D Sonic games. As readers of my blog Thanks Ken Penders know, I’m a huge fan of the franchise,…

I’ve been asked a few times about my thoughts on the new My Little Pony series on Netflix, Make Your Mark — the flagship series for Generation 5. I previously shared more casual thoughts on the preceding movie, My Little Pony: A New Generation, which…

It’s finally here! IDW Sonic #50! I waited to talk about the Imposter Syndrome miniseries until after #50 dropped, and it turns out #50 has, uh… well, it’s made a big splash. I’m not sure I’ve seen this many people talking about (and/or arguing over)…

Metroid freakin’ Dread!!!! This will contain spoilers. The TL;DR version is that I loved it, and while it’s always gonna be hard to top Super I’d rank it as my second favorite game in the 2D series, right ahead of Fusion. It’s extremely good. Okay,…

This was originally a casual, off-the-cuff review posted to Tumblr, in which I pondered the hamfisted political allegory of a movie about talking horses. Hi. I watched the new My Little Pony movie, and it was… pretty good! It was very cute, I like the…

I have a confession: I took entirely too long to watch Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and I put it off for petty reasons. For one, I thought the show gave off what I’d call “Parry Gripp energy.” Between things like Star’s signature move…
