Peacemaker (2022– )

Genuinely funny, and a great show on top of it.

Going into this show, and looking at some of the reviews, i had semi high hopes for it, and i sure wasn't very dissatisfied. The comedic value of this show is only topped by a select few animated shows, and great pacing along with an amazing soundtrack really bring this whole show together.

But there are things that aren't particularly spectacular as well. The acting was just fine, although John Cena really shines with his performance here. Other than him though, everyone else is just fine. Nothing special, but definitely not bad. Another thing is the story. An alien invasion really isn't the most unique story, but it fits with the theme i guess.

Overall i really enjoyed this show, and would recommend it to people looking for a good time.

Clone High (2023– )

Weak, and dissapointing.

I really enjoyed the original show, but this is just weak. So many cliche sentiments and themes. One thing that is still consistent is the comedy, but even that has died down significantly. It just isn't the same. They are missing the original flare of shock comedy, and most of the jokes don't land well. I'm still slightly optimistic about the shows future, because I can tell that all they need is there, they just can't figure out how to put it to the screen. The idea that teenagers who have been frozen for 20 years, and are now living in 2023, makes for a lot of potentially interesting stories and themes.

Phasmophobia (2020 Video Game)

Perfect for thrill seekers, or paranormal lovers

I love this game. It has almost anything you could possibly want in a horror game. Intense scenes, jump scares, eeriness, and just the overall feel is extremely unsettling. The main objective of the game is to find a ghost using methods of actual ghost hunting, all while trying not to die in the process. The anxiety from this game is real, and you are almost always set on edge. There are a few things I have a problem with, like the microphone doesn't work correctly sometimes, or a glitch where flashlights don't appear, and some light glitches as well. But putting those aside, it is definitely worth playing, especially multiplayer, or with friends.

The Forest (2018 Video Game)

What a game.

This is one of my all-time favorite games I've ever played. The only things wrong with it are a few glitches with stairs, light glitches, and I feel like the island isn't quite big enough. Other than that, it does almost everything perfectly. The quality is great, the story is great, gameplay is amazing, creativity is great, I'm just wondering why it's only rated a 7.5. Playing with your friends is also something that upgrades the experience as a whole. The cannibals are scary, and I've been jumpscared multiple times. Anyways, a solid 9/10 for me, feel free to disagree, but I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
