Currently Watching: Orange is the New Black (Part 4)

I’m fully caught up to the end of Season 5 of OTINB now. I find it quite odd they (as in, the outside) didn’t shut off their water and electricity supply. If they did, the riot would have resolved so much quicker and wouldn’t risk the leaked footages that compromised the higher-ups’ reputations. Every time…

Film Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Tells No Tales

Growing up, I was a big fan of the hilarious swashbuckling laugh fest that was Pirates of the Caribbean. At the end of the initial trilogy, it was obvious (well, it was obvious by Dead Man’s Chest) the story was running out of fodder and the laughs more and more forced. POTC 5 was no…

Medical Bullshit on TV: Orange is the New Black

Featuring: Orange is the New Black Season 5 Episode 2 and Episode 13 (No spoilers) There is a HILARIOUS stroke scene. Gunshot wound to the leg. Hours later, the guy suddenly develops slurring of speech, altered consciousness, and speech repetition. Medical personnel dives in and shines a torch into guy’s eyes. “Looks like cerebral ischaemia….

Game Review: Nier:Automata — Android Story Giving the Feels

I recently played Nier:Automata, an action hack-and-slash adventure fantasy science fiction video game and I am still recovering from the emotional rollercoaster two months later. Contains spoilers, duh.

Game Review: The Last of Us — Post-Apocalyptic Feels

Over the past month, I completed two video games: The Last of Us and Nier:Automata. I’ll talk about the latter at a later date, but damn, these are some good games. Main points of this game I’d like to emphasise (TL;DR, basically): – FREAKING motion sickness. What’s with this game?! I can only play 30 mins…

Game Review: Ninja Shadow: Shall We Date? — Ninja on the tin, actually just old syrup.

I’ve been playing this visual novel game for the past few weeks. It’s free to play, but if you’re sucker you’ll pay for more of the little perks and to read more. After a few weeks of guffawing and rolling my eyes, I posted my review on the app store — although I haven’t actually…

Critique: The Devil’s Music

In return for winning “Ruined Childhoods” contest 2016, VictoriaMoschou wins a critique of each of her entries. The Devil’s Music This one started a bit slower than the others. The first two sections about the singing doesn’t seem to progress the story any: it was rehearsals and yet more rehearsals (which I get, but the story then…

Critique: Children Should Listen

In return for winning “Ruined Childhoods” contest 2016, VictoriaMoschou wins a critique of each of her entries. Children Should Listen I like the start – with a bang. Angry Lucinda, furious the holiday would be ruined, the frightened cook having to redo everything, Penelope being frustrated with Lucy being so unreasonable. It’s a quick way of getting…

Critique: Beauty and the Feast

In return for winning “Ruined Childhoods” contest 2016, VictoriaMoschou wins a critique of each of her entries. Beauty and the Feast I haven’t actually read any fairytale fanfics, so this is a first for me. Having a background in the initial B+B story was helpful. I wonder if it’s beneficial for readers who aren’t as savvy with…

Critique: Something Pumpkin This Way Comes

In return for winning “Ruined Childhoods” contest 2016, VictoriaMoschou wins a critique of each of her entries. Something Pumpkin This Way Comes Great start. Succinct, to the point, grabs attention – the day is special, this is something we should be interested in, and makes me read on. Emilie’s bubbly energy is endearing and her love of…
