Daredevil is one of the most baller tv shows ever made. Warning: it is insanely violent. And bloody. I mos def had to look away and skip around a bit. There's also a fair amount of language. And some of the episodes made me depressed. Nevertheless, this show is absolute amaze-balls. It's got it all Daredevil is not just one show- it's eight  shows. The vast majority of TV deals with one shtick per show. E.g., The Office is a mockumentary, Grey's Anatomy is a drama, 24 is action, The Flash is a superhero show... etc. They hone in on the same things over and over again. Let me break down Daredevil for you. Matt Murdock is blind. Already, an overcoming-challenges story is underway. His dad was murdered by organized crime. Now maybe it's a revenge story. He's a defense attorney. Crime series. Law and order. Let's go.  He's a devout Catholic. Bring on the religious ethical and moral dilemmas. He's a superhero with crazy cool powers. Superhe...

"The Bastards" is an album of b-sides by one of my favorite bands, Radical Face. Freak, man. This album gives me the feels. I cried once while listening to this. Its themes of family, loss, and finality pull at your heart strings like a bell-boy on Sunday morning. In this case, I'm referring to a bell-boy as one of those catholic deacons that pull ropes that make church bells ding. Not like, a boy that takes your luggage at a hotel. That wouldn't make sense. For you to understand the gravity of my recommendation of this song, you must understand my tastes in music. I like: very loud rock music, fast/complicated math-rock , and super in-your-face drums and guitars that rip riffs. For days. Generally speaking, I tend to dislike: piano driven ballady... ballads, songs with no drums, and chill, un-engaging vocals. SO. When I say that one my favorite records is the b-sides  from 3 folk  albums  that feature very minimal drums,  laid-back, unassuming voca...

This is my favorite heckin' video game of all time. 5/5. Masterpiece. Would recommend. Is the game I envision myself playing when I am old and decrepit in a nursing home and unable to do anything else except watch Brain-Netflix on my Amazon neural implants and play video games in my wheelchair/exo-skeleton. I've beaten it twice and I'm working on number 3 right now (thank you roommates Ben and Devin!!). The game took the entire planet by storm so I am aware that I don't need to convince anyone that the game is good. That's fact. But here's why I like it. Exploration I have never felt a truer sense of exploration in a game before. Yeah there are plenty of open-world games out there, but not like this. Not like freaking this.  It forces you to actually play a fun video game while you explore the world. You don't do side-quests or exploration because you need the armor upgrade or some arbitrary XP requirements. You do them because it's fun.  You se...
