Oxenfree [PC Game]

Olly Olly Oxenfree.
Olly Olly Oxenfree.
So the children sing and play games, and when the games ends they can all come out from hiding.

Again - on a boat.

Star Trek Beyond [Movie Review]

I've been mulling over what words to start this post with... and I've finally decided.

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before."
- Kirk speaking the Captain's Oath at the end of Star Trek into Darkness.

The Talos Principle [PC Game]

What is a person?
What makes a person special?
What would an AI think about?

Welcome to the fourth installment of 'Games I recently bought on a Steam Sale.'
I've reviewed a Surival game, an RTS game, and a ... I can't even define it FP-S game? What would you call The Stanley Parable? I want to say it is an exploration game, but that may not be right either because this review's game is a true exploration game.

Limbo [PS4 review]

I like to review the free games that one gets from PlayStation Plus (PS+).
It makes me feel the $50 a year is for more than just online gaming.

Eden of the East [Anime and Anime Movie review]

This is not just a review for the anime series, but it is also a review for the two movies as well. They are inseparable from the story. So lets get to discussing that story... below the fold, or after clicking 'read more.'

Robotics;Notes [Anime Review]

Before I watched this series, I had no idea that it was done by the same studio that produced Steins;Gate. Although now that I look at the title... it is a pattern.

Helix - Dans L'ombre (Ep. 13 - Season Finale) [TV Review]

Well here it is... the last episode of Helix.
This season. Yep, it has already been renewed for next year. Season 2 will begin Winter 2015, so roughly around January again.

Helix - The Reaping (Ep.12) [TV Review]

Welcome back to the weekly Friday review of Syfy's Helix. This week, I'm back to doing a more normal review, ie: I've watched the whole episode before reviewing it.
Normal.

Helix - Black Rain (Ep.11) [TV Review]

Welcome back to yet another issue of 'Helix as it Happens!'
Again today I'll be working on this post as the episode airs.
Why? I've got Super XV Rugby this evening I want to watch, and so I need to get this down and out. Remember this is written as the episode play, so if you read while watching a rerun, that wouldd probably be the best way to enjoy my insanity.

Helix - Fushigi (Ep. 10) [TV Review]

Welcome to the ever continuing Helix review series.
Today was Day 10, Fushigi. Excellent title, Fushigi (不思議) is Japanese for 'wonder; miracle; strange; mystery; marvel; curiosity.' Thank you old school anime, Fushigi Yuugi, I learned something from your title.

Helix - Level X (Ep. 9) [TV Review]

Welcome to another edition of Helix As It Happens. I feel like doing another write-along with this weeks episode. What that means is that once again, I'll be writing my impressions as the show plays. Read on, or... I guess read along.

Helix - Bloodlines (Ep. 8) [TV Review]

Welcome back to the weekly update regarding Helix, SyFy's continuing 'thriller.' Will we resolve anything this week, or will we simply be bombarded with more questions and more cliches? Read on.

Attack on Titan - Manga vol. 1 thru 8 [Book Review]

There was no early week blog due to illness. But I'm better, and now to review a series of books I recently read. I love reading manga, I usually delve into the manga after I've watched a series. This time I read volumes 1 through 8 of Shingeki no Kyojin (進撃の巨人).

Helix - Aniqatiga (Ep.6) [TV Review]

 Welcome back to the weekly Helix episode review. I'm doing something somewhat different this week. I'm typing it while watching the episode. Well, during commercial breaks.

Helix - The White Room [TV Review]

Three weeks of Helix reviews you ask? Yes, I reply, it is a new science fiction show and despite my many grumblings and misgivings and mockeries, I am watching it. For the first episode ever, I am actually glad I'm watching it. Yes, you read that right.

Helix - Single Strand [TV Series]

I usually do no revisit series in the middle of their run, but damn it this time I am compelled too. I have to vent my frustration and anger at this series. I have been following Helix, and I'm not really sure why. No show before has been built more upon the ideal of using every TV Trope in existence... cliche-ville here we come! 

Helix - Season Premiere [TV review]

I've yet to do this, write a review for the premiere of a television show.
When I first heard of Helix, connected to Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica), I was actually quite thrilled. He produced BSG, an excellent show, so I began with high hopes. Were they justified?

Ookami Kakushi - Mask of the Wolf [Anime Review]

There are lots of anime that seem to have evolved from video games. This one does not seem to come from an eroge (which is where a lot of them seem to come from), it is just a normal mystery-adventure style visual novel for the PSP.

Escape Plan [Movie Review]

This was not the movie I was expecting.

My expectations were simple: Action, nonsense, and violence. I got those, but I also got a lot more. I went in expecting a way to just go mindless for two hours, instead I actually got a character driven movie.
