Mountains of the Moon

Patience is not one of my virtues. So when I finished watching Season One of the anime series Call of the Night and realized that the second season still wasn’t available three years later (although it is under production), I decided to order all of the manga issues so that I could finish the story. It’s not often that I … Read More

This is another quick survey review of the game Hades. I bought it during one of the sales. From the tags on Steam, like “Action Rogue-like”, I expected just a sort of button mashing adrenaline rush sort of experience from the game. But that’s not it at all. There definitely is some cool action and it is fun to play. … Read More

I have 442 Steam games. I’ve played about 50 of them. You’re probably in a similar situation (It’s those cursed sales.) I realized that I was never actually going to play all of these games, even a little, unless I made a concerted effort, and so I am going to do that with this blog by creating a series called … Read More

If you’ve developed an appetite for Colosseum style battles after watching Gladiator II and are wondering if there is anything else out there worth watching, let me recommend The Way of the Dragon starring Bruce Lee. It isn’t about ancient Rome, but it does come to us all the way back from the Rome of 1972. The version I’ll be … Read More

Correction: There is only one season of this anime available at the moment. The second season is confirmed though. I saw two discs in the case and assumed it was two seasons, but the second disc is more episodes of season one. Call of the Night was an anime I bought over the summer, but hadn’t had time to watch … Read More

In his introductory essay included in this release, film critic Peter Tonguette writes the following regarding the setting of the film, “Halloween! Is Flatliners a horror film? Not quite, and certainly not at first.” I disagree. In fact, in honor that Halloween is coming up, I thought I would pick a few Halloween appropriate stories and films that I like … Read More

I like Conan the Destroyer more than Conan the Barbarian. There, I said it. I’m not saying that it’s as good as Conan the Barbarian, just that I like it more. And Conan the Barbarian is one of my favorite stories in any medium. Let me explain. I had started writing this review before I read the essays included in … Read More

They don’t make them like they used to. I sat down this evening for what I expected to be about a half hour of skipping around in the new edition of the film Conan the Barbarian that I purchased a little while ago and hadn’t even bothered to open yet. Just to check it out and not feel guilty for … Read More

It’s not often that something surprises me when it comes to the fantasy genre, especially as it pertains to books. I have been reading these types of novels since I was in single digits, starting with The Neverending Story, and am pretty familiar with what’s out there. Nonetheless, about a month ago I saw a copy of the 25th Anniversary … Read More

I thought I needed to make at least one post about the death of Akira Toriyama. But I’d like to tie it into something, so I thought I would talk about Dragon Ball GT also, which I finally started watching in honor of his memory. (I know he didn’t personally work on GT, but I’d never seen it before.) But … Read More
