Wooderon’s Best Movies of 2017: #10 – #6

I didn’t see anywhere near as many movies in 2017 as I did the year prior.I don’t know, maybe I spent so much time in a cinema in 2016 that I burned myself out on the experience a little. I still endeavour to go back and see the things I’ve missed out on, but there is only so much time and Dunkirk is, what, like a 70 hour movie? It feels like that anyway.

Because I always seem to want to do this to myself, I end up getting my game lists polished off and posted on time and never manage to finish my movie one. So I’m going to split this one into two halves this time to get them out in a slightly more timely manner. And in case you couldn’t tell I’m especially burned out on writing intros to lists and I’m just padding this out as much as I can so there’s a decent amount of text before the line break.

Here’s numbers 10 to 6: Continue reading “Wooderon’s Best Movies of 2017: #10 – #6” →

About Richard “Wooderon” Wood

I occurs to me that I’ve taken well over two years to actually write and post a page talking about myself. Time to rectify that.

Like the vast majority of people who write around these parts, I am a very nerdy guy. Interested in Video Games, Movies, Anime and Tabletop RPGs.

I’ve been writing pretty constantly throughout my life, really starting in earnest since my time studying a “Media and Print Journalism” course at Huddersfield University in 2010. Although I’m not a northern lad myself, I’m actually from the West Midlands, somewhere I’ve returned to after graduation.

After a tragic realisation that Newspaper Journalism wasn’t for me, I started writing for a number of personal pages and news websites, many of which have become lost to time and expiring domains. Sadly, gushing enthusiastically about movies and video games doesn’t pay the bills.

So now I juggle my passion for writing, video games, movies and all other manner of nerdish subject matter with my job as an Overnights Manager at a major supermarket chain. After taking some time off, I regained my motivation for writing and now have posts going up on here on a near daily basis.

 

Feel free to follow me on Twitter; where I’m also Wooderon and Instagram; where I’m richs_real_snaps. Or comment on here if you want to know anything else. I’m an open book and would welcome the social interaction.

Wooderon’s 3 most disappointing games of 2017

You saw this coming. As much as I sung the praises of 2017 as a year of great games, that doesn’t mean there isn’t still trash by the barrel full. As is standard fare for these annual lists I do at the end of every year, I top out a binge of positivity by complaining about something, three things to be precise. Just so you can start 2018 with a sour taste in your mouth. You’re welcome.

Without further waffle, here are the three games that disappointed me the most this year. Not to say they were necessarily bad games (although a couple of them kind of were). These are just the games I had the most hopes for, but ended up letting me down the most. Continue reading “Wooderon’s 3 most disappointing games of 2017” →
