    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Alright, I Guess

    Alright, I’ll admit that wasn’t my wittiest title ever. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a game that I’d been incredibly excited and nervous to play. Symphony of the Night is easily my favorite Castlevania game (I’m basic, I know), so I was excited to see a return to formula without the cruel commanding hands…

    Raiders of the Lost Ark: A Shallow But Enjoyable Adventure

    *Deep breath* Okay. I’m going to tackle this one. Try not to rip my head off over this, alright? Indiana Jones is one of those film franchises. The kind where, if you say something disagreeable, the fans will come to your home, eat your pets, tear you limb from limb, then hang your head from the balcony…
