Category: My Thoughts on:

My version of a review section, except generally nowhere near that structured. Sometimes I’ll just pick out a single talking point from a movie or game rather than a full review. It’s generally my reactionary take on recent media.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings – A movie about Yin and Yang

I think this is the first time I’ve seen an MCU movie out of order, having still not managed to get my ass in front of Black Widow yet. Honestly, I had to force myself out to go and see this one as well. Although I think that might have something more to do with the fact that my brain is still in that pandemic mentality and the idea of going out and doing things still seems so foreign to me.

Although the idea of going into a movie almost totally blind was intriguing enough that I felt like I had to get out and see this one. With the first Guardians of the Galaxy still somehow fresh in my mind as one of my favourite cinematic experiences of all time, I guess I’m still chasing that dragon and hoping Marvel can deliver again.

I can see why Twelve Minutes is so polarising now I’ve finished it

As the years go by, I have come to realised that video games have increasingly just become comfort food for me. There was a time where I would endeavour to play everything and anything that came out in order to give myself a rounder and more expansive perspective of what was available to me. These days I really do seem to want to stick with the tried and true games that I enjoy.

So it feels like a real nostalgia trip for me to come back and play a game like Twelve Minutes and be able to talk about it while it’s still a relatively hot topic.

I’m almost certainly going to spoil the events of Twelve Minutes during this post. So it you do have an interest in experiencing the game yourself, then I’d recommend against reading further. This is really one of those games that the act of talking about it will end up spoiling to some extent.
