I am Setsuna [game]

LIKE, THE WHOLE THING WITH THIS GAME IS THAT IT'S A SQUARESOFT GAME INSPIRED BY CHRONO TRIGGER BUT LIKE, WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE CHRONO BRAKE AT SOME POINT? IT HAS THE BATTLE SYSTEM AND THE REFERENCES, IT HAS LUCCA'S HAMMER AND FRIGGIN FROG DROP AS A SPELL FOR SURFACE LEVEL SHOUT OUTS BUT THIS JUST FLAT OUT FITS IN THE CHRONO TRIGGER STORY, THIS IS THE ICE AGE AFTER ZEAL FELL, LAST LANDS IS ZEAL, TIME JUDGE IS SCHALA, SAMASMA IS LAVOS, LIKE IT FEELS REALLY VERY DIRECT THAT THIS IS GOING BEYOND BEING INSPIRED BY, IS IT JUST SUPER SUPER INSPIRED BY OR WAS THIS LITERALLY CHRONO TRIGGER II UNTIL THEY CUT THE BUDGET TO ONE GUY AN A PIANO?   PS. DO I LIKE THIS GAME? I CAN'T EVEN TELL, I LIKE ALMOST EVERY INDIVIDUAL PART OF THIS GAME AND IT'S STORY AND IT'S SYSTEMS AND IT STILL FELT LESS THAN THE SUM OF IT'S PARTS.

Brigsby Bear [movie]

THIS MOVIE IS REAL GOOD. I LIKE HOW EASY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO MAKE THE SHOW BASICALLY STAR TREK OR STAR WARS (WITH LUKE HIMSELF!) OR DOCTOR WHO OR SOMETHING TO RIFF ON OBSESSED FANS BUT INSTEAD IT'S A WEIRD KNOCKOFF OF THE CREEPY TEDDY RUXPIN SHOW MORE THAN ANYTHING. THAT SORT OF DEEP CUT SOLD THIS FOR ME.   PS. MY BROTHER IS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME TO WATCH THIS AND I 100% KNOW IT WAS SO HE COULD POINT TO JAMES AND SAY "THAT'S YOU" BUT W/E.

Mighty Number 9 [game]

THIS GAME IS FAMOUS FOR BEING ESPECIALLY BAD. I OPENED IT BECAUSE I GOT IT IN A BUNDLE AND EXPECTED TO PLAY 10 MINUTES, SAY 'YIKES' AND CLOSE IT FOREVER, BUT I ENDED UP PLAYING THE WHOLE THING. IT'S REALLY WEIRD, BECAUSE IT'S GOT A BUNCH OF GOOD IDEAS AND GOOD TWISTS ON THE MEGAMAN FORMULA AND FEELS FLAWED BUT OKAY, BUT THEN IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE CAME IN AFTER AND ADDED A BUNCH OF AWFUL SPITEFUL THINGS, TO MAKE THE GAME ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING. LIKE ONE LEVEL HAS NO CHECKPOINT AND SOMETIMES AFTER A HARD SECTION A "GOTCHA' TRAP WILL JUST KILL YOU AND IT FEELS LIKE DECISIONS JUST MADE TO MAKE THE GAME MORE ANNOYING TO PLAY. IT WASN'T EVEN NES HARD, IT WAS JUST MEAN SPIRITED ABOUT IT. LIKE THERE IS A SECRET ROOM YOU GET A HEALTH POWER UP THEN WHEN YOU LEAVE AN UNAVOIDABLE FIRE DOES DAMAGE TO YOU. WHY?   PS. THE VOICE ACTING IS REALLY REALLY BAD BUT I ACTUALLY LIKED THAT PART.

Justice League [movie]

AT SOME POINT THE SCIENTISTS AT THE MOVIE FACTORY FIGURED OUT WHAT CHEMICALS TO PUT IN THE MOVIES TO MAKE PRETTY MUCH EVERY HIGH BUDGET MOVIE A GOOD TIME BUT THIS MOVIE ISN'T NEARLY AS GOOD AS WONDERWOMAN OR ANY MARVEL MOVIE AND IT MADE ME SUPER ANNOYED HOW OBVIOUS A COMPUTER TOLD THEM TO ADD MORE HUMOR SO AT THE END OF EVERY THIRD SCENE THERE WAS AN ADDED IN LATER GAG JUST THROWN IN WITH EXACTLY ONE OF THE CAST MEMBERS ALONE SAYING A JOKE TO NOBODY. LIKE COLLEGE HUMOR HAD EDITED IN SOME YOUTUBE REACTION SHOTS OR SOMETHING.     PS. IS IT JUST ME OR DID EVERYONE THINK IT SEEMED REALLY OBVIOUS THAT THEY WROTE CYBORG AS BLUE BEETLE. LIKE, CYBORG DOESN'T HAVE HIS ALIEN PARASITE MAKING HIS ARM OPEN UP INTO A BLUE CANON THING, BLUE BEETLE DOES. DID THE MARKETING COMPUTER DECIDE THEY DIDN'T WANT HISPANIC PEOPLE IN THIS MOVIE BUT 10% OF A BLACK GUY WOULD BE BETTER?

The Cat Lady [game]

THIS GAME HAS A LITTLE BIT OF ADVENTURE GAME DISEASE WHERE YOU ARE EITHER DOING THINGS JUST BECAUSE THE GAME LETS YOU OR YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER BUT HAVE TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW TO INPUT IT BUT IT'S STILL A SUPER FRIGGIN AMAZING GAME. ALSO DAVID FIRTH IS IN IT AND THAT IS BLOWING MY MIND SO MUCH IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE BECAUSE THAT IS SO PERFECT. HOLY CRAP. ALSO THE GAME IS AN ORIGIN STORY ON WHY SOMEONE WOULD BE NICE ON THE INTERNET AND THAT IS HILARIOUS. PS. I WAS 100% THINKING OF A CARROT.

Southpark: Fractured But Whole [game]

I AM REALLY SOUR ON THE SHOW SOUTH PARK THESE DAYS BUT I THINK I STILL REALLY LIKE THESE GAMES. LIKE I ABSOLUTELY HATED THE COON EPISODES BUT AS A GAME IT REALLY WORKS. AND THE FIRST GAME WAS SO EASY IT WASN'T FUN BUT ON THIS ONE IF YOU TURN THE DIFFICULTY ALL THE WAY UP IT HITS THE RIGHT "YOU DON'T REALLY DIE THAT MUCH BUT YOU ALMOST DIE MOST BIG BOSS FIGHTS" LEVEL OF CHALLENGE. THE GAME EVEN HAS WEIRD GURREN LAGGEN REFERANCES FOR SOME REASON?   PS. ON THE OTHER HAND THE LAST THIRD OF THE GAME SURE FEELS LIKE "THIS GAME HAS BEEN IN PRODUCTION A LONG TIME SO WE MADE A BUNCH OF FIGHTS AND LITTLE AREAS AND JOKES WE CAN'T USE SO WE STUCK THEM ALL AT THE END" THAT GETS A LITTLE TIRING.

Ringing Bell [anime]

I WATCHED THIS BECAUSE I READ ABOUT HOW SANIO MADE ONE REALLY DARK CARTOONS AND THIS REALLY IS PRETTY DARK. LIKE IT'S HELD BACK A TON BY BEING A 1970S LOW BUDGET ANIME SO THE ANIMATION/AUDIO/ACTING/MUSIC IS ALL PRETTY LOW TIER STUFF BUT THIS KINDA IS REALLY DARK. LIKE IT'S NOT EVEN AS GORY AS SOMETHING LIKE WATERSHIP DOWN BUT IT KINDA IS IN THAT SPIRIT. IT'S VERY CLEARLY THE SANIO FILM WITH THE HIGHEST BODY COUNT AND MOST OF THAT IS BY THE PROTAGONIST AND THAT ISN'T SANIO AT ALL.   PS. I WATCHED THIS A FEW HOURS BEFORE WRITING THIS AND I'M SURPRISED HOW MUCH THIS IS STICKING IN MY HEAD. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF HOW COMPLEX THE MESSAGE ACTUALLY IS. REVENGE DESTROYED EVERYTHING FOR CHURIN BUT ALSO EVERYONE BUT HIS MOM WAS TOO WEAK TO STAND UP TO WOE AND SHE PAID WITH HER LIFE AND AND THE BIRD LOST IT'S LIFE AND STEPPING IN TO DEFEND IT JUST KILLED EVERYONE ANYONE AND THE MOVIE ISN'T EVEN REALLY GOING "NATURAL ORDER: PREDATORS EAT PREY" BECAUSE

Hidden My Game By Mom [game]

THIS IS SO 100% CHARMING. IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD VIDEOGAME, IT'S JUST GREAT. IT'S SO STUPID AND NONSENSICAL AND JAPANESE ALSO IT'S FREE AND ONLY IS 20 MINUTES LONG AND YOU SHOULD PLAY IT. EVEN THE TITLE IS CHARMING AND JAPANESE!   PS. THE ENDING TWIST IS ALSO SUPER CHARMING!

Kedi [movie, nonfiction]

I LOVE THAT EVERY SEGMENT WAS “I DONT HAVE A CAT BUT THIS ONE SHOWED UP AND HANGS AROUND AND IT REFLECTS MY CONCERNS AND PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE”. ALSO GEEZ I AM JEALOUS OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY IN THIS. ITS ALL ABSOLUTELY TGE IMAGES I WISH I WAS MAKING WHEN I TAKE PHOTOS. EGYPT WAS SIMILAR TO THIS BUT MAYBE I SHOULD GO TO TURKEY SOMEDAY. PS. IN FACT I WATCHED THIS BEFORE BUT WITHOUT SUBTITLES AND THAT ISNT REALLY WATCHING IT. I WATCHED IT ON A PIRATE STREAMING SITE THAT LET ME UPLOAD SUBTITLE FILES TO WATCH IT WITH AND THAT SEEMS LIKE A HILARIOUSLY ADVANCED STREAMING FEATURE FOR A RANDOM WEB PIRACY SITE TO HAVE. REAL SITES DONT HAVE THAT.

Oceans 12 [movie]

I WATCHED THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT HAD THE CAT MUSEUM IN IT AND I WAS EXPECTING SOME QUICK SHOT OF THEM WALKING THROUGH IT OR SOMETHING BUT THE CAT MUSEUM (REDRESSED AS SOME WEIRD ECCENTRIC STORE THAT HAD AN EAST INDIA STOCK CERTIFICATE) WAS LIKE THE PLOT FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE MOVIE AND THEY HAD TO LIKE HEIST THE WHOLE BUILDING AND SHOOT CROSSBOWS INTO IT AND IF ANYONE EVER SAYS I DON'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF TRAVEL THE ANSWER OF WHAT I GET IS BEING ABLE TO WATCH MOVIES AND BE SO SUPER EXCITED BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ALL THE PLACES THEY GO.   PS. I KINDA GENERALLY ROLL MY EYES AT PEOPLE THAT CAN'T FOLLOW PLOTS OF MOVIES BUT JESUS CHRIST THERE IS BARELY ANY POINT OF THIS MOVIE THAT I FELT LIKE I HAD ANY IDEA WHAT ANYONE WAS DOING OR WHO ANYONE WAS OR ANYTHING GOD DAMN.

You Must Build a Boat [game]

SOMEHOW I PLAYED THIS GAME FOR LIKE 8 HOURS IN LIKE 3 DAYS? ALSO I FEEL LIKE USUALLY WITH THIS SORT OF MATCH 3 GAME I START OUT REALLY BAD BUT EVENTUALLY GET PRETTY GOOD BUT I FEEL LIKE MINUTE ONE AND LAST MINUTE I WAS EQUALLY TERRIBLE AT THIS AND FREQUENTLY WOULD TOTALLY FREEZE UP AND BE TOTALLY UNABLE TO FIND ANY MATCHES FOR LIKE 30 SECONDS.   PS. IT SAYING "YOU WON!" NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU DID WAS REALLY CHARMING.

Halcyon 6 [game]

I DON'T KNOW, THIS SEEMED LIKE A PRETTY OKAY GAME BUT THE IPAD VERSION IS SO CLEARLY THE WORST VERSION OF THIS GAME.LIKE THEY RELEASED THE NEWER BETTER VERSION AND THEN THEY RELEASED THIS AND IT JUST MAKES IT SEEM BAD. LIKE CONSTANTLY IT FELT LIKE THE DISPLAY OF INFORMATION WAS SUPER BAD AND APPARENTLY IT WAS SO THEY REMADE THE GAME AND SHOWED EVERYTHING BETTER.   PS. ALSO BY THE END OF THE GAME IT WAS CRASHING LIKE EVERY 2 MINUTES AND FIGHTING THE LAST BOSS JUST INVOLVED RUNNING AWAY OVER AND OVER BECAUSE IT WOULD CRASH IF THE FIGHT WENT TO LONG.

Thor: Ragnarok [movie]

I FEEL LIKE THEY HAD ALREADY WROTE THIS MOVIE AS A SERIOUS MOVIE THEN AT SOME POINT SOMEONE SAID "NO ONE LIKES THE THOR MOVIES, MAKE THIS LIKE 80% DUMBER" AND THEY MADE IT LIKE 80% DUMBER. LIKE THE PLOT MADE PERFECT SENSE BUT THEY WERE SO WHATEVER ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS BAD THOUGH, THEY MAKE THESE MOVIES IN A FACTORY WITH TACO BELL OR SOMETHING.     PS. DID THEY INVENT NEW SOFTWARE TO DRAW VEINS ON STUFF? THIS MOVIE SEEMED ABSURD IN HOW OFTEN THINGS CAUSED PEOPLE TO HAVE COLORED VEINS. I DON'T THINK ANY POWER OR ENERGY OR ATTACK IN THIS WHOLE MOVIE DIDN'T MAKE PEOPLE HAVE DISCOLORED VEINS.
