Marvel Snap

I played this from release until a couple months ago when I just forgot to do the dailies, then never got back to it and was only reminded about the game when I was looking to clear up some space on my phone. The CCG aspect of the game is top notch, the animations each card gets are novel and I’m sure we’ll see more games with the parallax views in the future. That being said, there’s some clear loot box issues that mean you’re going to be spending hundreds of dollars to get the full collection, a situation that completely turns me off.
It was fun while I was getting new content every time I played though, so if you’re into Marvel stuff and want to check it out, I spent a good couple months enjoying myself, I only spent about $10 on a single month’s worth of a battle pass.

Recursion (Wearing the Cape #7)
Tags:Awesome Things, book covers, Book Reviews, Books
This is a refreshingly Aasimov-esque rule breaking story about time travel to the past in a universe that explicitly does not allow for time travel to the past. I didn’t catch a few hints about what was going on, but I eventually figured it out right before the big reveal.
I’m going to be sad when I’m done with these ten books.
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
Tags:Movie Posters, Movie Reviews, Movies, Pinocchio
This is a pretty heavy film for a story that Disney also adapted twice, once in the same year that Guillermo del Toro’s version came out in. I haven’t seen the Disney live action version and really have no interest, they’ve not done well with their live action stuff, but this one is damn well done and explores some especially difficult subjects from fascism to life after death.

“Tetris” Review
Tags:Gaming, Movie Reviews, Movies, Tetris
I’d love to see the eventual comparison of the actual events of the contract adventures of Tetris, but until then, this is an enjoyable journey of a slightly clueless programmer / salesman that really ended up being one of two people in the entire store that wasn’t completely out for himself with all others being damned for their personal greed.
I have a fond memory of the game itself, it was the first real handheld game that I ever played and I still get nostalgic about the main theme song.
