Pokémon FireRed Game Review

Apr 10, 12:00
5 comments
games
This port of Pokémon FireRed made me realize why I was destined to become a Pokémon kid, and why I’m going to be a Pokémon adult for the rest of my life. ― Do not spend twenty dollars to play 2004's Pokémon FireRed on the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

Apr 10, 10:00

games
The Zelda games didn't just happen - Jean-Karlo gets into the franchise's antecedents. Plus some disappointing Persona merch! ― Welcome back, folks! Project Hail Mary got me into a mood, so I went back and watched Explorers over the weekend for the first time in about 20 years. It (sadly) falls apart in the last third, but it's a fun flick... though I curse my memories for tricking me into thinking t...

Tower Dungeon Volumes 2-4 Manga Review

manga
What really sets Tower Dungeon apart is the ever-present sense of progression, of uncovering the unknown, of overcoming trials to progress further. ― Although manga creator Tsutomu Nihei is well-renowned for his sprawling sci-fi epics Blame! and Knights of Sidonia, with these further volumes of Tower Dungeon, he proves he's equally adept at creating fascinating, mysterious fantasy worlds.

Whether Iruma’s changing the Netherworld or the Netherworld was always more “human” than ours, the root of the story is the same: you don’t need to go it alone. ― Welcome to Iruma-kun's longest arc thus far – the Harvest Festival. Unlike the Battler arc and the upcoming Music Festival arc, this one doesn't really have an analogous real-world school event, although I suppose you could make an argument...
