Golf With Friends

 Over the past weekend at the time of this post, Golf With Friends was free on Steam, and is now on sale at the time of this post. I had already purchased the game on a previous sale but have only played it now. So was I better off waiting and playing this game for free for a short weekend? Or was this worth the money? Let's dive in and find out, this will mostly be my thoughts rather then a review as I have played this game a grand total of once but played a ton of courses with friends and wanted to share. 

This game takes mini golf to the extreme, whether single player, or online with friends. With a myriad of courses and options to make your own, all tied in with simple controls and a charming aesthetic. This game is controlled simply but clicking, dragging your mouse and releasing. There are a couple power ups to use, and a menu but the controls are simple and very easy to learn. The game's music was ho hum but the presentation is spot on, a ton of fun detail went into the environments and made them stand out, a mini golf course to the extreme. There are other modes to play with friends as well but I stuck to golf. 

The game ran well but there were some moments of lag and friends dropping out of the game. Overall when the game worked, setting up matches and playing with friends was a blast. Everyone goes at the same time and that makes rounds not overstay their welcome. The items and course hazards added a great layer of memorability and chaos. It was a blast with friends. Some holes are better designed then others, and some of the par requirements and obstacles on holes are not as well thought out as others. Some holes are great ideas but not well executed but make for a fun time with friends. There were also some lag and glitch issues that should be noted but add to the hilarity at times.  

So as the title implies this game is best played with friends. So if you have a solid friend group who is interested give it a try, especially while the game is on sale. It could be a fun game to play with friends and it is on console and steam, I do not know if it is cross platform. But it does make for a fun couple of hours with friends. I toughly enjoyed my time but as the title implies this game is best shared with company online or in person, and could a be a great game to spice up game night with friends in a rotation.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (Netflix)

 There are so many holiday films to watch, whether they be classics, or newer attempts to capture the joy of the season, whether in theaters, made for television, or for streaming nowadays. And with all these holiday films there are countless adaptations of the classic tale of "A Christmas Carol". Musicals, animations, live-action, and almost everything in between. Using popular characters in the roles, such as the Looney Tunes or the Muppets, from popular actors provides different take on the tale in different settings. When I first saw this version of the classic story, it was because it was all over TikTok at this time last year. For one song in particular, one very powerful song. So I decided to settle in and watch this new, animated, musical take on the classic story all the way through and see what the entire package holds for this version.  This version as mentioned is an animated musical telling of the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, the tightfisted miser, spreading

The Pokemon Concierge

 When this show was first announced, I was indifferent. And then it came out and I watched the four episodes they had at the time of this post in one sitting and fell in love with it. The hype around this show is very real, I was blown away by how much I loved this show. Only four episodes and I want more, so why do I love this show so much? Well, that's what this blog post is for. The narrative of this show is fun for all ages but definitely has relatable content for adults while also having fun lessons for all ages. I am not going into detail because I think even a synopsis of this show spoils too much and it is so wonderful. The morals are real and down to earth, the characters are likable and the conflicts are relatable. The writing is fun, wholesome, and very well down, and has a good mix of humor and heartwarming with some great ideas. When I went in I thought I would have a fun time, and I did but I had way more fun than expected.  The lead of this show will be relatable for

Tell Your Own Story, Do Your Own Thing: One Thing I Learned From Across The Spiderverse

 This will probably not be the last time I talk about the impact of this film, I keep learning from this incredible film. The visuals, humor, story, characters, and messages of the film are just so close to perfect for me. Let's hang on to that last word, messages. Some may feel that an animated film could never contain deeper meanings or ideas. Still, if they looked outside their opinion, they would see animation as what it truly is, a necessary part of cinema. Animation can go places and bring ideas live action never could, and vice versa, they are both important. When this movie was first released, I saw it on opening day, and I was that excited. I love and adore the first film and the sequel just as much, it did not disappoint. I wanted to revisit the second film, since we have had more time with the first movie, and dive into some of the story beats, so spoilers are ahead just as a fair warning.  Across The Spiderverse takes our hero Miles Morales a year and some change ahead
