Late Night Creative Thoughts

  (Image Source: Nintendo.Com) Many of us move at least once in our lives, some of us, move more. Deciding what to bring, what to sell, what to leave behind, and what to store away, can lead to hours of thought as one moves from one residence to another. Whether for school, work, or perhaps after finding love. In those transitional periods a narrative can be woven in the details that shows a story of a life unfolding with every box left empty.  When I started this game I was greeted with a room, and some boxes. Taking the contents out and putting them in fun places, sorting each object, the game welcomed me into a warm and cozy world, but underneath of what seemed to be a simple puzzle game, was a way deeper story. This game may have no cutscenes but there was a clear narrative, one that surprised me, one that is so good, I will not spoil, one that you have to go looking for. Instead today I will diving into how this game tells it's story, and how without words it crafted a na...

Would I do a non spoiler review? A deep dive into the messages the film had laid out in it's hour and 44 minute run time? But then I thought, why not talk about the presentation, as that was one of my favorite aspects of the film, perhaps I will dive into the story at a later date if I decide to, but that is not the topic for now.

The aesthetic of this movie has been shown from it's marketing, the trailers, and T,V spots, so many people have seen through the trailers and teasers the look this movie has to offer, and even some of the sound.

 I have for a while, wanted to talk about all sorts of media in a writen format, in both long and short form formats. Games, movies, cartoons, T.V shows, so instead of making a whole new blog, why not revamp the one I have. This is dedicated to all the games, shows and movies that are fun to watch at the late hours, some stuff new, some old, either way. I will be reviewing, discussing, trying some fun ideas and trying some new things. Sometimes I might just need a place to dump all my nerdy thoughts on a game, a film I just got out of, or a song. This is the place, so get ready for the new Late Night Sprites. Sometimes games, sometimes film, sometimes just a bit of everything.  I don't plan on posting on a consistent schedule, but rather just dumping nerdy think pieces, and essays and so on here, sometimes long, sometimes short.  Thank you for reading and have an awesome day
