Boring characters, boring story and so padded for runtime it’s borders on comical. The protagonist narrates how boring his job of killing people is and I now narrate how boring watching him talking about it is. Don’t waste 2 hours of your time on this.
Bodies
Series
A body is found in four different time periods and we follow the detectives that try to solve the murder. There will be time travel. Bit of a weak have your tried to not be sad and evil ending.
25 games to get to know me
Playing
Firewatch
Playing
Take a job as a fire lookout. Look out the window of your tower, talk to another ranger over radio and walk. The 4 hours playtime would be 8 hours if the run button was removed. The short clip shows a summary of all the things you get to do in the game. But it’s mostly walking. I think it’s time for me to give up on walking simulators. I can’t handle more slow paced walking, looking at things and suffer another nothingburger story. The only upside is that they are short and give game journalists more time writing another is video games art essay/review.
Lock & Key
Series
Three siblings move to the ancestral home of their murdered father. One look at the house tell you that it’s is haunted. Exploring it they find magical keys that give them powers and mystical abilities. Nice show. Think i will check out the comic book it is based on.
Warframe
Playing
My online game for now is Warframe by Digital Extremes. It’s free-to-play third-person multiplayer space ninja shooter. Relaxing to play a mission when i feel like it.
Travelers
Series
Travelers from a post-apocalyptic future go back in time and take over the bodies of people who are about to die. Sent back to try to save the planet they kill and manipulate things to get a better future. I think the quality slides a bit in later season like many netflix things. One great fun episode to look at is S2E7 - “17 Minutes” :).
Pokémon Go
Playing
Mobile augmented reality game where you walk around and collect Pokémon characters and battle with them. Not much for pokemon but the game gives me a motivation to walk around and visit PokéStops. They are often placed at fun locations such as statues or parks. Look at something new if nothing else. Pokémon Go also have a relaxed monetization system that is much more easy to ignore.
The Sandman
Series
The king of dreams escape his capture and try to rebuild his realm. Stange is a good word to describe this series. It works and i enjoyd it. Just accept the strange stuff and flow along. David Thewlis is great as always.
The Mummy (2017)
Film
The Mummy from 1999 with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz is an epic masterpiece. The 2017 version with Tom Cruise is a travesty. Half of the trailer focus on a single action sequence that is the only fun part in the whole movie.
