Bad News: tried to record a demo but the game didn't support windowed so I recorded in ultrawide ratio
Good News: It was a GREAT demo and video
Worse News: OBS didn't capture the gameplay properly so it's just my face talking over a black screen
Best News: Steam recorded the game in the background 🙂

Welcome to...something different!

Instead of this being my "Games I played in 2025" thread. I will instead drop ALL the media I consume this entire year. Movies, Games, TV, Albums probably, books maybe too?!

So, welcome to the "Media I've Experienced in 2025" thread!

Out of curiosity I checked what Restricted Mode does to my own channel and it's insane. I'm not on YT for money but the fact that all but one of my music reviews are wiped and all of my stream archives and other media reviews are gone is wild. Literally just high school videos are left.

Beau Is Afraid (2023) bsky.app/profile/ejsp...
ejsponge61.com Emmett Watkins Jr @ejsponge61.com · Jul 17
My ★★★★★ review of Beau Is Afraid (2023) on @letterboxd.social: boxd.it/an1EAd (1/2)
Beau Is Afraid poster For most of my life, I have hated horror movies. Despite being desensitized by blood and gore from video games, extreme violence in film still managed to trigger me, so I stayed far away from the Saws, Final Destinations, and Siberian Films of the world. I'd play and love games like Dead Space and Resident Evil Village, but the terrors of cinema have long eluded me. It's not until the last few years that I've begun to find some appreciation in the film genre, finally. Jordan Peele's work got me to see horror as not just an excuse to cut people up, but as a way to explore sensitive feelings felt about real-world issues. Due to many of my friends being bigger sickos than I, they've introduced me to iconic franchises like Alien, and more art house horror like Raw. In my pursuit to experience more cinematic classics, I eventually watched The Shining, Suspiria, and The Blair Witch Project. And due to critical acclaim and buzz from friends, I went out and saw Barbarian, Nosferatu, and Sinners, all of which I enjoyed. It's fair to say that I'm a fan of horror now, but I still have yet to find a movie that has really and truly scared me. I mean, I feel the tenseness of these situations, and I am fully invested in watching characters nearly miss death and terror every time. But like, I don't like to be awake at night with deep fears of dying in gruesome ways. My nightmares are more filled with the kinds of things I experience day to day, be it awkward interactions with strangers or succumbing to the worst instances of peer pressure. I keep it together most days, but the potential complications of interacting with other people more immediately strike fear in my heart than any serial killer or supernatural monster. Beau Is Afraid is a film designed to capitalize on those fears the most. Ari Aster is a filmmaker whom it took me some time to come around on. I watched Hereditary, and despite how nervous I was to see it due to me still dipping my toes into horror, I found it incredibly compelling. I had a double feature with friends of The Strange Thing About the Johnsons and Midsommar, while both were fascinating, I didn't quite love either. The Johnsons was interesting, but too sparse for me to latch onto, and Midsommar just put me off completely. It made me uncomfortable and disgusted in ways I didn't know movies could do, and I hated the movie for it. It wasn't until many years later that I came around on it. Once I did, I came to terms with the fact that the film was exactly designed to stir those emotions up in me, and to feel them doesn't damn the art, but proves just how powerful it really is. My time thinking about Midsommar, and horror as a whole, has gotten me to spotlight Aster in my mind. His films make me feel something, so when he drops something, I've learned to take notice. I'm massively interested in the upcoming Eddington, but I felt I should watch Beau is Afraid first. The talk about the movie was not only lukewarm but also incredibly non-specific. I didn't really learn much about what the movie was or even about it, despite watching many a review and reading many an impression. So, I just forgot to make time for it until now. This movie is fucking insane, dude. It does not make sense as a plot, it is wholly unserious in its presentation at times, and you can really feel its 3-hour run time. But man, it goes to places and pokes at fears that I don't think I've seen any other piece of art tackle. It is uncomfortable and painful in ways that are often unsaid or understated, but at the same time, it is incredibly loud as well. It's weird, so much happens in this movie, so much ground is covered, and I spent so much of the runtime screaming at the screen. Yet, it has incredibly long sequences of quiet and almost tender moments. It can often be jarring, but that contrast feels to be part of the point somehow. I really don't want to spoil the movie at all, because I think this is one of those movies you have to see to really understand. But I just loved it. It's 3 hours of anxiety-causing setups, stomach-turning punchlines, and even some emotionally devastating twists and turns, all designed specifically to hurt someone like me.

I wrote a few words about the Microsoft Boycott and why not as many people are participating in it as you'd expect. Funny enough, it may very well be overshadowed by the Doom embargo today, funny how that works.

Thoughts on The Microsoft Boycott

There are plenty of great reasons to despise GameStop. Their selection of used games rarely carries any titles I care about, let alone for a good deal relative to what can be found online or at conventions. Their stores have slowly morphed into toy and merchandise…

My ★★★★★ review of Ninja Gaiden II Black (2025) on @backloggd.com: bckl.gg/dIz5
Ninja Gaiden II Black I will be making a very long review for www.vgu.tv and will link it here when I'm done. But basically, if I played this when I was 13 I would have been one of those kids who got buff as an adult because they watched Dragon Ball Z, but it'd be because I wanna be like Ryu Hayabusa. For sure one of the coolest games I've ever played on the basest possible level. Overall, I feel like Ninja Gaiden II is an easy 4.5/5 on its own, but the improvements to graphics, bosses, controls, and gameplay flow just make this so much smoother to play while keeping the fair parts of the challenge and eliminating the cheap, frustrating elements of the difficulty. A perfect remake as far as I'm concerned.

Alien Rage (2013) bsky.app/profile/ejsp...
ejsponge61.com Emmett Watkins Jr @ejsponge61.com · Feb 20
My ★★★ review of Alien Rage (2013) on @backloggd.com: bckl.gg/c35p
Alien Rage game cover Back in my day, you had to try really hard to make something that feels as low effort as this does. Despite being 12 years old, it feels like it was AI-generated, but in the way investors think about it rather than the actual reality of it. AI makes unintelligible slop when it comes to art, and any game made by it would be unplayable and unfun. This game does hit a baseline of satisfaction, as explosions and headshots are plentiful, medals are given for even the most slightly noteworthy actions, and it does feel in line with the mechanics of any shooter made after Call of Duty 4. But every more creative aspect, from the narrative to the characters, to the art design, feels completely derivative of a better game that came before. The protagonist looks like Tai from Gears of War 2. The general look of the weapons and alien designs are giving Crysis. The gunplay, though similar to Call of Duty on paper, feels way more like Bulletstorm with way more grounded weapons. The banter between you and your female-voiced AI is just a more irreverent version of Master Chief and Cortana. And going back to CoD, the unlockable perk system is absolutely pulled from the multiplayer of those games. But if this game is so unremarkable and not noteworthy, why did I beat it? Well, besides my nostalgia for the mid-tier games of this era, I just refused to let this game beat me. For some reason, despite this game looking and feeling like a mobile port, it is tough as nails. Some enemies can melt you in 4 seconds flat, and that's even on the easiest difficulty, which I played on. This game is super punishing and often throws dozens of enemies at you when all you have is one box in the hallway to hide behind. So many battles were wars of attrition, and running and gunning in this game will get you killed unless you are specifically asked to do so in a boss fight. But this is Alien Rage! This nothing-ass game was kicking my teeth in, and something just felt wrong about letting it get the last word. So I got through, outsmarting every challenge with a blend of my own patience and, sometimes, skill. I played it because the stubborn gamer-brained part of me refused to give up on it. So, I have beaten Alien Rage. I am not better for it, nor worse. I don't know if I'll ever think about it after this, but perhaps it will be remembered as a pitch-perfect pastiche of every trope of 2010s shooters. It's such a balanced, all-encompassing blend of other people's ideas that it indeed almost feels like AI. But because it's not, it does impress due to just how much effort was spent to make something that says or does nothing at all, let alone nothing new.
