This is Your Badness Level: Lilo & Stitch and Mental Health

By Orrin Grey • March 26th, 2024

Sometimes watching a cute little blue alien struggle with the same things we struggle with can make it a little easier, at least for a while.

Versus Mode: Lorcana x Sorcerer’s Arena

By Orrin Grey • March 7th, 2024

Unlike Lorcana, Sorcerer’s Arena is not an original game cooked up whole cloth. It is, instead, an adaptation of the mobile game of the same name. I’ve tried out the mobile game a bit, but not enough to really get a feel for it, and there’s something to be said for the joy of pushing little plastic standees around on a board.

What is Best in Life: Conan Movies on 4K

By Orrin Grey • February 14th, 2024

When the pouty virginal princess asks Zula how one goes about getting a man, no one but Grace Jones could sell her response, as she growls, “You grab him! And take him!”

Death is Not the End: How to Win and Die Trying in Doomseeker

By Orrin Grey • February 2nd, 2024

This is a game where it actually does pay to die, if you can do it when you mean to.

A Question of Influence: Building Your Kingdom in Ni no Kuni II: The Board Game

By Orrin Grey • January 9th, 2024

In some ways, however, the simplicity of Ni no Kuni II: The Board Game is also part of its strength. It’s a game that’s easy to learn and quick to play. In a world full of overly complex titles packed with fiddly little tokens and pieces, it almost feels old-fashioned.

This Town Needs Me: It’s a Wonderful Knife (2023)

By Orrin Grey • December 20th, 2023

This is a film where the plot and performances are more stylized than the shooting and, as a result, is a disjointed, tonal mess.

Rune Bound: Exploring the Realms of Terrinoth

By Orrin Grey • December 11th, 2023

Terrinoth lacks any attempt at gritty realism, reaching instead for the classic familiarity of a video game version of your standard high fantasy.
