Isometric Morphball Roguelike Shooter.
That sentence has either sold you or turned you away completely, but if you're the former, what I can say about Go Mecha Ball is how shockingly well-made it is. The transitions between playing Pinball and Twin Stick is seamless, and both feel utterly fantastic with visual transitions that are just as ...

Sometimes you'll love a piece of art for its bold ideas, unique premise, or particular execution of one of its concepts. Other times, you'll just love something out of its sheer craftsmanship, and that's very much the case with Thornhill's 3rd album.

I was originally going to recommend an album but this film's only on Canada's Netflix until May 31st, so I figure it'd be best to give my fellow Canucks the heads up.

Originally I wrote this recommendation comparing Unbeatable to a certain failure from last year that shares many similarities on paper... but part of Unbeatable's draw is just how unique its execution is, and the quality and care that's paired with it.

Spent all of my Tuesday on Taxes.
Whenever sending anything to the Government or Corporations, the "title" I put down varies. If it's a manual prompt, I'll sometimes write "Youtuber" which I'm not a big fan of, but automatic prompts often have "Influencer" which I'm not a big fan of.
Thankfully, I've never had to put that one down, b...

Some years ago, I looked at Spotify playlist that catalogued all the songs it possibly could from the 15+ years of Top Gear aired on Television. Because the BBC have a licensed music library that any of their shows can use without paying anything, tons of music gets utilized over the course of seasons and shows.
One day, I spent hours and ...

One line I remember from Apex Legends' Loba is "you should smile more" before stomping somebody to death… with a smile on their face. Okay, but seriously, it's a very simple, yet clever reversal of a line that's been condescending woman for generations the instant they have the gall to not beam for longing men, which is very in keeping with Lo...

Is there a genre of games that you personally could never get into?
