Single-sentence review of John Carter

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

It’s not going to make any end-of-year best-of lists (certainly not mine), but despite a plot that is achingly predictable this is still an entertaining enough way to pass two hours because, despite its predictability, the best word to describe every single aspect of this movie’s craft is “competent,” and there are worse things, and […]

The story limits of Assassin’s Creed

Posted by MGK Published in Gaming

So Kotaku unveiled what is likely the setting/hero/etc. for Assassin’s Creed III, and online reaction seems divided into two camps: 1.) The idea of an Assassin operating during the American Revolution is awesome; 2.) But what about Desmond? Afterall, the overarcing plot of the Assassin’s Creed story demands an awesome epic conclusion with Desmond in […]
