Great Games I’ve Played: Tetris

I cannot express how many hours I have lost to this addictive little puzzle game. Spanning all the way back in 1984 in Moscow, computer scientist Alexey Pajitnov as a way to pass the time. After years of controversy, political tension, backstabbings, scandals, and shady under the table dealings, the game finally got its mass appeal with the Gameboy release in 1989. This game has … Continue reading Great Games I’ve Played: Tetris

Great Games I’ve Played: The Beginner’s Guide

The Beginner’s Guide is a small indie game made by Davey Wreden, a man known best for creating “The Stanley Parable.” This game is specifically good at using its narration as a form of trickery. Davey has a comforting voice he uses to pull you in. You have no reason to suspect Davey is a bad guy, even with a few choice statements, in this … Continue reading Great Games I’ve Played: The Beginner’s Guide

3. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

This film is something that I didn’t expect to like. But looking back, Chris Miller and Phil Lord knew what they we’re doing and goddamn does it show. This movie made me more excited to imagine. This movie taught me to not be so indulgent in my hubris. Instead of a character’s invention failing it succeeds. Flint Lockwood, a quirky but relatable scientist doesn’t spend … Continue reading 3.

4. Spider-Man Into The Spiderverse

This is the second film on this list by Phil Lord and Chris Miller and holy crap is it amazing. The animation and art style are like nothing else. Its like you’re just watching a moving comic book. Its not just the animation that makes this movie great though. The writing is amazing, thought provoking, funny, and at some points tear jerking. Everyone did their … Continue reading 4.
