2019 Games in Review

Every year my initial goal is to average one game per month.  I didn’t get there this year, but honestly that’s in part because I played some real long ones this year which really ate up the whole summer.  Flip side, I haven’t had so many games in the 9-10 range in years!  So y’know what, successful year overall.

2018 Games in Review

It's that time.  Here's what I played in 2018!

Cartoon Corner- Zombieland Saga

This show went and did a thing, and it works hard to undue some of my goodwill toward it.
Don’t set up a redemption arc for your abusive asshole character unless you’re willing to really put in the work folks.

Cartoon Corner- Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse

So why haven’t y’all watched this yet?
There’s some visual elements in the film I don’t want to give away to an unawares audience, but almost all my impressions of it are really based on them, so between that and the movie being out a mere weekend as I’m putting this up… yeah.  Go catch it on the big screen now, then come back to me.  It’s good, 8/10 stuff, but with plenty of bonuses.  Go!

Cartoon Corner- Ralph Breaks the Internet

This sequel feels more like a Disney movie than the original.  The Pixar-ian emphasis on creating the world of the original forms the backbone of that story, and having that in place is the only reason this film can have an entirely new setting but have the conflict it does.
Although I guess in a way the saturation of reference humor maybe makes this the Dreamworksiest of Disney films.

Cartoon Corner- Coraline

The first time I watched Coraline, I hadn’t really read any Neil Gaiman.  And while I still haven’t read Coraline, I’ve read some of his other work, I’ve seen some of his work on Doctor Who, I have a pretty solid grasp of Neil Gaiman’s quirks and the stamps he puts on his work.
