A bog-standard 4X space game, but with a tiny font.
Overwhelming, and with an annoying interface.

A semi-roguelike tower defence-ish game.
Utterly impossible. Doesn’t make a lick of sense. Unlimited waves of stuff, for some reason. Can’t build enough, the resource limitations are obscene.

So cute! Whenever I play a game with a little fox type thing, I will always think of Okami – (2006 game).
I ended up getting stuck at the winter/summer level, trying to go east with the spirit. I guess I’m the first person to ever play this, ever.

Inspired by the story of the forty-seven rōnin . If you don’t know it, then don’t look that up. I can’t give a description without spoiling it. Consider yourself lucky to have a fresh mind.
This is a patient yet tense movie. I have next to no notes, because there’s really nothing to write or even think about. Recommended, though not “highly recommended”, as there are a lot of movies which execute this general manly-man theme extremely well. Though it’s not among its number, anyone who likes the samurai genre should give this a watch.

In a futuristic Germany, a mute guy has relationship troubles.
An interesting world, but generally terrible writing.
- German is unnecessarily sprinkled throughout this movie.

Intended as a spiritual successor to Moon – (2009 movie), though I don’t see how.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.

Based on The Coldest City – (2012 comic), by Antony Johnston

Spoiler
- Ported articles are given a timestamp of
00:00. -
The dates from the oldest articles are likely wrong, as they were ported from a still-older content management system.
- Just as this “five things” process exists, I had an earlier series of notes tracking a still-earlier porting process. In due time, I’ll go through that list and correct dates as best I can.
2,946 articles left to process..

production company page
Artificial intelligence is created, but they forgot to send a philosopher, so things go to shit somehow there are survivors.
It borrows from various other things, but doesn’t execute anything very well. It just comes off as being badly written. I should have guessed based on the production company’s amateur-night page.
- The title is a play on the singularity.
