An incredible saga that captures the evolution of the 20th century through the eyes of a diverse and unforgettable cast of characters. This series taught me so much about history, the impact of geopolitics, and how the events of the past shaped the world we live in today.

A perfect blend of madness, hilarity, and razor-sharp wit. Rick and Morty keeps things fresh with wildly original ideas while cleverly riffing on classic sci-fi tropes. The character dynamics are chaotic and endlessly entertaining.

This show follows our main protagonist as he’s put through trauma after trauma—seriously, the guy can't catch a break. A twist on the usual superhero tale of sunshine and roses, *Title Card* dives into dark, twisted places that few others dare to explore.

Black Mirror delves into speculative tech-driven worlds dialed up to their darkest extremes, presenting thought‑provoking and unsettling scenarios that feel all too plausible. It serves as a stark cautionary tale, illustrating how unchecked corporate greed and unregulated capitalism can warp innovation into suffering.

A timely reminder of the harm possible in growing up during the age of social media—where kids feel pressured to showcase a perfect life, or risk being bullied at a scale and speed never before imaginable.
Games that awed me
Hazelight Studios

Immensely enjoyed playing this creative gem. Some sequences in the game are nothing short of peak art. It’s a great reminder that couch gaming still stands as one of the best ways to play. With constantly evolving mechanics and insane direction, it never stops feeling fresh.
Game Science
Game Science
One of my all-time favorites. It features the most fluid combat I’ve seen in any game. While some boss battles are brutally difficult, each one brings something fresh and unique. Every fight has its own identity, and that kept me completely hooked.
Santa Monica Studio

We witness a more mature and introspective Kratos, a far cry from the rage-fueled warrior of his youth. Haunted by his violent past, he struggles to connect with his son, Atreus, as the burden of fatherhood weighs heavily on him. What follows is an emotional, action-packed journey driven by a promise—to honor his late wife’s final wish—that challenges both Kratos’ strength and his soul.
Rockstar

Rockstar’s best game. Period. I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to saddle up as a gun-slinging badass cowboy in a world that feels truly alive. This is it.

If you're a fan of sci-fi, Keanu, consciousness and neon lights. Look no further. A gripping story in a wonderfully crafted world.
