The Well of Lethe: 1
Welcome to Lethe SC90982: a backwater prison colony choking on a high-pressure, acidic atmosphere. It’s a forgotten place for forgotten people, run by a jaded warden who’s just trying to keep the lid on a powder keg of terrorists and dissenters.
…And, of course, something else waits in the dark.
But before the killing in bulk starts, an enforcer from the monolithic Integrated Collective—a Corrector—arrives. And as the warden knows all too well from his own tragic past, when a Corrector shows up, well… that’s when the murder begins.
This is for fans of:
– Boots-on-the-ground military sci-fi like Aliens or Warhammer 40k.
– Intense, visceral action that doesn’t worry about blood on its shoes.
– Rich, lived-in worlds where the tech is impressive but the synth-cotton collars are still too damn tight.
Let’s roll. Read More …
Why You Were Mildly Entertained by… Mission: Mehpossible — The Reckoning of Exposition
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning isn’t a bad film. It’s just a painfully average one that forgets what makes this franchise tick. With a slow start, undercooked villain, and action scenes that trade ingenuity for spectacle, it struggles to stand alone or satisfy as a sequel. Tom Cruise still delivers, and Hayley Atwell shines, but the magic of masks, heists, and clever cons is sorely missed. It’s decent popcorn fare, but as a Mission: Impossible entry? This one never quite detonates. Read More …
Why You Liked … Doom: The Dark Ages
Doom: The Dark Ages isn’t just more Doom. It’s smarter, meaner, and surprisingly thoughtful. In this review, I break down why this demon-slaying metal opera deserves to be called a masterpiece. From its gloriously brutal combat to its unexpectedly strong character work (yes, even Doom Slayer has feelings now), it’s a game that proves story = plot + character. Also, shoutout to Thira’s full armour and her dad’s shirtless thirst-trap energy. Doom finally grows up a bit, and it looks damn good doing it. Watch (or read, if you want to count the Warhammer jokes). Read More …
Why You Liked … The Accountant
A Different Kind of Hero: Ben Affleck plays an autistic accountant with a moral code, a kill count, and a calculator (and somehow, it works). With the sequel out now, I revisited The Accountant to explore why this unlikely action film still hits so hard.
This isn’t just about bullets and balance sheets. It’s about what happens when a neurodivergent lead doesn’t just survive the story, but owns it.
I dig into representation, justice, evolution, and why Christian Wolff might be the most quietly revolutionary hero we’ve seen in years.

Why You Liked … Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Remember that one wall-run Cal definitely should’ve made but instead yeeted himself into a ravine? Yeah. We all do. And yet… we kept playing. Why? Because this game slapped harder than a Wookiee with abandonment issues. It wasn’t just lightsabers and trauma (though: yes), it was heart, grit, and the kind of hope Star Wars had misplaced in a ditch somewhere post-Last Jedi. This wasn’t about becoming a Jedi. It was about surviving, healing, and Force-pushing stormtroopers off cliffs. And honestly? That’s the dream.

Blade of Glass: Chapter 60
The queen gave them more than a day. She put them up in her keep. People had made a fuss about Armitage until Geneve stared them down. She didn’t know what to say, so settled for glaring. Rumors spread about the Adept who’d cut down a Champion, so the glare was enough. Armitage said he thought it funny but didn’t laugh. He watched Sight of Day a lot and spent time with the Feybrind when he thought no one was looking. Geneve needed answers. She left the castle alone, on foot. No one had seen Tristan, and she feared him dead, especially after Beck and Fidget were brought to the castle stables. Her weary feet led her through Ravenswall. Geneve wore no armor. She couldn’t stand the golden sun’s weight today. She carried a black sash with five gold bars. Read More …
