Zelda Again: Link Is Adventuresome

Remake of the NES Zelda II. About the same in terms of difficulty, but lots of new items, areas, and QOL changes + more chances to get XP balance it out. I think it's a masterpiece—best unofficial remake since AM2R, and I'd say it even surpasses that.

Predator Badlands

Saw this with a bunch of family. It's basically "what if Chewbacca carrying disassembled C-3PO around was the whole movie". I don't know much about Predator mythos but I thought it was pretty rad.

11/13: 4th period:

“Mr. [Wheel], what are we listening to?”
“Is that a good or bad ‘what are we listening to’?”
“This is honestly pretty tough”

(for those not versed in the current parlance, that’s good)
