I sometimes pretend I’m a really hardcore game critic. Mini disclaimer: Maybe you should not trust a 20 year old who is just trying to figure things out, but I digress.

Movies

  • 21 Jumpstreet - It plays on various different tropes that makes the whole thing a comical
  • Dead Poets Society - The movie gives a sense of finding who you are, being genuine, and looking at the world differently.

Shows

  • Succession - an absolute MASTERPIECE of a show, I think there is a fine line between comedy and tragedy. The show poses as a drama between a multibillion dollar family most can only dream of, but the show has the perfect ratio of dry humor to drama to make for a combination no other show was able to do before. Although a little slow at times I must admit, it is rather worth it.
  • Silicon Valley - I have to give it to this show to being one of the reasons I got into CS, younger high school me somewhat related to the characters, but also found the very nerdy jokes embedded (haha see what I did there?) quite funny.
  • Black Mirror Episodes - White Bear

Games

  • Spiderman PS4 - Okay Okay I know what you’re saying, spiderman again, is that a… bias? NO. Hear me out. Insomniac studios have integrated game mechanics, storyline, and animations seamlessly. The mechanics of Spiderman 2 on PS5 and haptics are also pretty dope!
  • Detroit: Become Human - There is some controversy surrounding the game in the sense that the gameplay is not too great, but I feel that if you think of it as an interactive movie, the fact that there are 30 different endings to a story you write and create plays out really nicely and is truly well written.
