Little Nightmares Left Me Feeling Uneasy and Alone
I picked up Little Nightmares primarily as a Halloween game. Something fun and spooky. Or so I thought. Instead I found something deep, dark, beautiful and horrifying. This is one of those games that seems like a children’s game that is absolutely not a children’s game. Thematically, it’s one of the bleaker experiences I’ve had in recent memory. And yet also- some of the most fun I’ve had playing a platformer in years.

First Impressions on Fortnite’s Absolute Doom
I’ve become a big Dr. Doom fan recently. He might be a supervillain, but he does get results. The train has returned and it is running on time. There’s less sand everywhere. Cars and the nonsense mods (which I really liked) have been done away with. Order has been restored, as it always (traditionally speaking) is under Dr. Doom. But the biggest things aren’t what Dr. Doom has fixed or taken away…it’s what he’s brought with him…
Remembering Fortnite C5S3: Wrecked
“Wrecked”, the most recent season of Fortnite , stands out to many people. It had cars, power gauntlets, a Max Max/Fallout theme and lots of people complaining about all three. Many people were claiming it was “the worst season of Fortnite ever.” I don’t find this fair and I never found it fair.

Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Review
Dua Lipa went on vacation for four years (not actually) and now the suits want their money. They don’t want a prog pop-rave record. Give us the hits and a pretty CD to sell at Target please. Here’s to a summer of Radical Optimism.
Track Review: Charli XCX-Von Dutch

Bow To Your Queen: A Preview of Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism
It is a well known fact that Dua Lipa is the world’s greatest popstar. She just is. The voice, the production, the hooks, the costumes, the choreography….I just don’t know what to say. I really enjoy the music of Dua Lipa. I genuinely think she’s an underrated artist and that’s saying something because she’s one of the biggest stars on the planet.
