Review: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Yes, I know I’m way late to the party, even by my standards. I meant to see this movie a lot sooner, but life just keeps throwing me curveballs lately. Better late than never. I’m sure by now I don’t...
View ArticleSong of the Month: Aurora, Churchyard
So it has recently come to my attention that Aurora put out a new album several months ago. I have absolutely no idea how I missed this. I follow her on Facebook and see her posts regularly. She’s one...
View ArticleIf I Told the Truth, I Would Always Be Free
From the inception, I’ve had some pretty clear rules about this blog. One is that the blog is by me, but not truly about me. For the most part I avoid talking about myself or my life save as it affects...

View ArticleSong of the Month: Arkells, Come to Light
I have no particular reason for posting this. It’s not a recent song. I’ve just been listening to it a lot lately. The Arkells are a weird band for me. For most of their career, I didn’t much care for...

On Being Represented
I’ve always been a big believer in the idea that representation matters in the media, but as a straight white guy, I’ve never really lacked for representation, so it’s a concept I mostly view in the...

Anthem: Story Complete
I’ve now come to the end of the story content in Anthem. The main plot ended as it lived: forgettably. But that’s okay. The main story isn’t what makes Anthem special. It is the side stories where...
View ArticleSong of the Month: The Tragically Hip, Fiddler’s Green
More Canadian content today. The most Canadian, in fact, for there can be no more quintessentially Canadian band than the Tragically Hip. I feel unpatriotic for not sharing one of their songs sooner....

Gaming Round-Up: The Lightning Round
Been having trouble settling on a “main” game lately. I’ve run out of stuff to do in Anthem, and The Division 2 is more something I just pop into from time to time (plus I’m a little burnt out on...
