Watched this movie. Feels more like a cowboy movie than a vampire one. Bad acting, cheap special effects, and terrible fight choreography. Villain looks goofy. I applaud the showing of graphic child deaths, but overall just awful. #BloodRayne

Watched this movie. Great story with lots of emotional weight due to the 1st movie. Mission details and air combat are much better explained/shown. A more serious tone compared to the 1st movie, and more focus on flying than love. Decent OST. I like it more than the 1st. #TopGun
Watched this movie. Bit hard to read/understand character signals and air combat scenes. Some decent characters, and protag is super cocky and annoying but still likeable. Good OST. I can see why it's beloved as a classic, but some elements maybe haven't aged well. Okay. #TopGun
Watched this movie. Forgettable/generic characters, but the acting and writing is good, and the protag is written well. Decent CGI, and the camera work is dynamic. I like how it uses Oumuamua as the basis for the plot. Enjoyed! #WarMachine
Beat this game. Great presentation and good dance choreography, but it can make seeing which buttons to hit on screen hard. Some performance issues, and the OST is good, but maybe for a specific taste. Some button sequences feel impossible. Fun and addictive.Enjoyed. #HatsuneMiku
Watched this movie. Somewhat interesting story and setting, but overall quite boring. Forgettable characters. Decent CGI for the time. Some scary monster designs. Meh. #dreamcatcher
Watched this show (S3). Eps felt a bit slow and was a drag to get through at times. I don't like the dramatic death scenes, but then they get revived after. New characters are a bit annoying. Fantastic last ep, and Conquest is great and quickly one of my faves. Okay. #invincible
Watched this movie. Budget feels lower but higher than the 1st movie. Story brings in elements from later seasons and mixes it up. Titan fight scenes are ok, but ODMG look worse than the 1st movie. Cringy in some moments. Okay. #AttackOnTitan
Watched this show (S2). Plenty of character development and major deaths add weight, but tend to reset themselves too often. Animation is poor at times and becomes a slideshow. Not as good as S1, but still decent. It's okay. #invincible
Watched this show (S1). Very engaging story and characters. Some decent fight choreography, and the animation is good, but kinda poor at times. Storytelling can be a bit gappy. Omni-Man's reasoning is predictable. Bit too gory for my tastes, but I still enjoyed it. #invincible
Rebeat this game. Great visuals and art style, tight gameplay, and awesome OST. Story is a little gappy, and the side characters get forgotten a little. Level design is a little repetitive. An awesome, underrated gem. Great! #AstralChain
Never thought I'd see fanart of my characters. I guess Rule 34 is real ๐

Watched this movie. Decent retelling of the anime with some minor plot differences. Pretty large budget, decent GCI, and ok action scenes. Some ODMG scenes look a little iffy. Defo nowhere near as bad or cringy as I heard it is. Decent, quality-ish movie. Okay. #AttackOnTitan
Beat this game. Reminds me of old school Zelda and PS2 era platformers. Great visual with some gorgeous lighting and blend of colours. Some interesting mechanics, but overall nothing too special or unique. I still had fun, though. #KenaBridgeOfSpirits
Beat this game. Great old school Tales of combat system, good OST, and Kongwai is a great addition. I wasn't too invested in the characters, and story is quite hard to follow. Some interesting locations, but the world is kinda bland. Empty ending. Alright. #talesofseries
Beat this game. Some great pixel artwork, and gameplay is fast and snappy. Some platforming can be tricky due to the level design not being clear at times, especially with bullets everywhere. Great OST, and extra content is welcoming. Very Arcady. Enjoyed. #gunlord
Watched this movie. Different direction for Predator, but in a good way IMO. Predator has more emotion. Interesting creatures and world. Great fight choreography and CGI. Feels like Star Wars at times. Underwhelming villain. Best Predator movie in a while. Great. #predator
Watched this movie. Story/setting seems accurate enough to the game, and acting is decentish. But special effects are cheap, and fight choreography is amateurish. Villain is bland. $25 million budget, but it screams straight-to-DVD quality to me. Fun watch, but bad. #BloodRayne
Watched this series (S2). Jayden feels nerfed but shines during the last duel. Story, but leaves the school more, but is a little gappy. Many characters are pushed aside, and some new characters are underdeveloped. Domino City revisit is nice. Ending feels rushed. Okay. #yugioh
After about a year of hiatus due to personal issues, my latest book, Divergia: Xrossing Fate, has resumed development. Been back at work on it for a few weeks now. It's requiring more work than I thought, but I'm still enjoying it. #DivergiaXrossingFate
Watched this series (S1). Jayden is a strong protag and I enjoy his one-liners countering insults. Rest of the cast are either bland or underdeveloped right now. Story lacks direction and oomph, and final villain feels sudden/rushed. Duels are a little repetitive. Okay. #yugioh
Rewatched this movie. Some decent acting, and the fight scenes are ok. Setting and atmosphere don't feel like Doom to me, though. The FPS scene still holds up and is, hands down, the best moment. Not a great movie, but not awful, either. It's okay. #doom
Beat this game. Some great visuals and fight choreography. Good OST. Great combat, but enemies take too long to defeat. Too many boss fights IMO. Kaser is bland/dull. Rough around the edges, and some parts feel unpolished/unfinished. Ending feels rushed. It's okay. #LostSoulAside
Watched this movie. 1st half is slow and unlike the game, but 2nd half picks up with a lot of charm. Using random game footage for transitions is low-budget but effective. Camera motion around characters is a nice reference. Bad, but a fun watch. Enjoyed. #TheHouseOfTheDead
Watched this movie. Story ties in decently and is a good conclusion to the show, though the ending leaves some loose ends. Duel rules feel inconsistent and rush to the big monsters without explanations. Emotional. Animation quality is beautiful and detailed. It's alright. #yugioh
Beat this game. Gameplay and level design are a bit dated, dungeons are repetitive and hard to navigate. OST is different, but still really good. Story is decent. Last dungeon tested my patience. Really needs a map. Blacksheeo if the series, but I still enjoyed it. Good. #Ys
Watched this series (S5). Kaiba Land arc is ok with little value. Egypt arc has some retcons and a bit hard to follow, but very spectacular and different. The final duel is engaging, climactic, and emotional. But ends suddenly. Overall, I enjoyed the whole show. Great! #yugioh
Rewatched this movie. Story retcons some previous movies and doesn't continue well at all. Fight scenes aren't great. Camera cuts and stitches scenes together far too often that it got me a little dizzy. Just not very good, and an underwhelming end to the saga. #ResidentEvil
Beat this game. Gorgeous visuals and spectacles all around. Lots of love and passion put in. Simple/engaging story. Game plays itself a lot of the time. Plentyof content, but it doesn't feel like much at the same time. Controls are too simple. Good OST. It's only ok. #Kirby
