'Stray' Proves Games Can Be As Dark As They Want To Be As Long As They Are Also Cute
BlueTwelve Studio's Stray is a charming game about a cat navigating a mysterious walled city. You play as an orange feline, effortlessly parkouring on top of railings, old air conditioning units, and signs. You can sleep in the laps of workers and musicians and headbutt cute robot denizens. There's a lot to like in this game, and I highly recommend you play through it yourself because it was a treat.

House of the Dragon
Well the second episode of House of the Dragon is out and though I liked the first episode I am approaching this show with caution and a lack of expectations. The likelihood of horrendous treatment of its women characters is damn near 100%. So here we go, my live feed thoughts on its second installment.

She-Hulk, The Honest Review. Top Story - August 2022.
For the most part, I’m ignoring everything around the show, cast and crew interviews for the most part aren’t relevant. The whole, “why isn’t Bruce called He-Hulk” nonsense just isn’t relevant to the show, but there are a few bits that are so telling when you watch this show.
