Posted on March 5, 2023 by Nathan

Here are my thoughts on the four movies I’ve watched most recently, all with SPOILERS. Body Bags – A 1993 film consisting of three different segments, the first two directed by John Carpenter and the last by Tobe Hooper. Carpenter … Continue reading →

Gunmancy and Hackitude

Posted on September 14, 2022 by Nathan

Cosmic Star Heroine – Since I’ve been playing this recently, I thought I should probably say a bit about it. It’s made by an independent developer and is largely a homage to 16-bit role-playing games. I think it was a … Continue reading →

The World First Spoke to Me in Sensurround

Posted on August 28, 2022 by Nathan

We haven’t really been watching a lot of movies recently, aside from the two Elvis ones. I can’t even remember how long ago it was we saw the first two on here; they’ve been sitting in a draft for a … Continue reading →

I Don’t Think It’s Good to Work Too Hard

Posted on August 11, 2022 by Nathan

I’ve gotten into the habit of writing about a video game when I start playing it, then again when I finish, assuming I ever do. I do tend to post occasional updates to Twitter, however, thanks to the screen capture … Continue reading →

Radical Dreamer, Wake Unto Me

Posted on June 11, 2022 by Nathan

Since the version of Chrono Cross for the Switch is the Radical Dreamers edition, and I’d played through the main game, I figured the obvious thing to do was to check out Radical Dreamers itself. It’s a quite interesting novelty, … Continue reading →

The Serge Worked

Posted on June 4, 2022 by Nathan

SPOILERS FOR CHRONO CROSS! So, I finished Chrono Cross…sort of. There’s more than one way to beat the final boss, and the way to get the good ending involves using elements in a certain order. It’s a clever idea, but … Continue reading →

Fuzzy Pickles

Posted on April 14, 2022 by Nathan

I started playing EarthBound last week when I found it on the Super NES for Switch application. It probably wasn’t the best timing as the Switch version of Chrono Cross also came out that week, but I’ve been switching back … Continue reading →

From the Cosmos to Crete

Posted on January 29, 2022 by Nathan

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, by Becky Chambers – This story involves a crew of various species serving on a ship that makes wormholes. There’s a pretty large cast, and I can’t remember all of them. That … Continue reading →

Three Period Pieces

Posted on January 2, 2022 by Nathan

For my first post of 2022, how about some movie reviews? Licorice Pizza – Beth and I saw this at the theater the other day, and she doesn’t even like licorice or pizza! No, this is a Paul Thomas Anderson … Continue reading →

Get Off Your Ass

Posted on December 28, 2021 by Nathan

This might well be my last book review post of the year. I got an overview of the books I read in 2021 on Goodreads a few weeks ago, but I have no idea why they didn’t save it until … Continue reading →
