Rewatched this movie. Story is pretty accurate to the source material, and Angelina portrays Lara well enough. 1st half is decent with some good fight scenes, but 2nd half falls apart IMO. I like the inclusion of puzzles to simulate the games. Decent, but kinda bad. #TombRaider

Watched this series (S2). I like that the duelling rules are more similar to the TCG. I find Marik rather annoying with an irritating voice. The tone is darker and more serious, and the stakes are higher. Think I enjoy the story of S1 more, though. Still a good season. #yugioh

Beat this game. Gorgeous visuals, andplenty of atmosphere and emotion. Controls well, but Ori can be slippery and imprecise at times. Great level design, but some fast parts are too sudden and unfair. Ending is too sudden and anticlimactic. Good OST. Great! #OriAndTheBlindForest

Rewatched this movie. Terrible acting, has some decentish fight scenes, and likeness to characters isn't great. First half is watchable, but the rest kinda falls apart in pretty much every way IMO. Awful last fight. Okayish entertainment, but just kinda bad. #DoubleDragon

Watched this movie. Acting is kinda mixed, and scenes/pacing is too drawn out and slow IMO. Jumpscares weren't that impactful. Meh. #TheManWithTheBlackUmbrella

Beat this game. Lovely art style and good OST, but it's a step back from Super Star in every way. Boring/uninspired level design, controls are sluggish, bland boss battles, and friends are tedious to play. I wanted this game to be over, and that's not good. Dislike. #Kirby

Rebeat this game. Nostalgia aside, this game is still so good. Controls well, fast and exhilarating battles, copy abilities have expanded movesets, fun stories, awesome OST, and great level design. Establishes the core experience for the series going forward. Love! #Kirby

Beat this game. Improves upon the 1st game, but not as good as the NES game. Introduction of friends adds more depth and movesets. Ok levels, and good music. It's ok. #Kirby

Beat this game. A technical marvel on the NES. Establishes many core mechanics the series is known for, like the copy ability. Creative levels and boss fights that show what the NES is capable of. Frequent slowdown does impact gameplay and can make it frustrating. Enjoyed. #Kirby

Beat this game. Controls are slippery and kinda sluggish, and the lack of copy abilities feels weird. But still a solid game and a strong start to the franchise. Many iconic bosses and music tracks make their debut here. Good. #Kirby

Watched this series (S1). As someone who's familiar with the TCG, this season was both enjoyable and frustrating. Story, character development, and motives are well established, but the rules on duelling are wrong. Still a fun watch and a strong start to the show. Like. #yugioh

Rewatched this movie. Acting is a mixed bag, character likeness is awful, and accuracy to the source material is bad. It's really bad, but I can't say it's so bad it's good. High budget, but not a great outcome. Bob Hoskins somewhat saves this movie for me. Awful. #SuperMarioBros

Rewatched this movie. Terrible acting, awful CGI, and fight scenes are a mixed bag. Unlike the 1st movie, this one is so bad it's good IMO. Seeing it again, I realise it's much worse than I remember, and some costumes look goofy. Awful, but also love. #MortalKombatMovie

Rebeat this game. Decent visuals and art style for an indie game. Combat is decent and simple, boss battles are ok. Story is simple with a lot of lore. Functions better and more enjoyable than the 2nd game. Play if you like Zelda. Enjoyed. #Oceanhorn

Beat this game. Decent visuals and art style for an indie game, and a massive leap over the 1st game. But combat is clunky and unpolished which gets worse over time, and boss battles don't function well and just suck. Story is poorly told. I see the vision. Mediocre. #Oceanhorn

Beat this game. Good and colourful visuals, good OST, and decent gameplay. Characters don't get much dev, too much back-and-forth errands, some annoying puzzles, and confusing maps/level design. This game would benefit from having a map! Okay. #Megaman

Beat this game. Unpolished and rough around the edges, but still very fast, crazy fun. Great roster and variety of tracks, and random track switching keeps things interesting. Ok OST and visuals. Upcoming DLC will only make the game better. Excellent! #SonicRacingCrossWorlds

Rewatched this movie. Better CGI, fight scenes, and overall better than the 1st movie, but it's also somehow worse IMO. GR is more creepy than cool/edgy, and has many weird moments that drag on. Cage's poor acting adds points, but just a worse movie for me. #GhostRider

Watched this movie. Imitates and hits the same kind of humour as the OG movies, but the serious vibe and dark storytelling throw it all off for me. I like Liam, but I feel his face and acting don't quite replicate the same comedy/energy as Leslie's. Very mixed for me. #nakedgun

Rewatched this movie. Decent CGI for the time, but terrible acting, awful fight scenes, and awful villains. Some amazing GR scenes. Falls apart in everything towards the end. To me, this guilty pleasure movie is so bad it's good. Cage's poor acting does a lot for me. #GhostRider

Watched this movie. Just more silly, random fun from the first two movies. I didn't laugh as much, but still found it quite funny. Plot is decent, and the trilogy concludes rather well. Liked. #nakedgun

Beat this game. A solid beat-em-up. Visuals are clean and retro, SFX are hefty and punchy, and OST is great and a celebration of the series. Lots of characters and unlockables. Very fun to sit back and just beat the heck out of everyone. Great! #DoubleDragon

Watched this movie. Every scene is a joke and full of funny/charming moments. Maybe hasn't aged too well, but it's still a fun watch. Simple story, and funny characters. I laughed a little bit. Enjoyable. #nakedgun
