Seeing #Avengers Endgame Encore in theaters was fun, emotional, and nostalgic. Reliving big moments was great, and seeing stars like Chadwick Boseman & Robert Redford before they passed tugged heartstrings. Having been there when it first released, the movie is still awesome.

I have a lot of thoughts about this… But most of what Charlie speaks on here is right. There were A LOT of #StarWars games released in the prequel era, and not all were as good as people think… But we had gems. I feel like me and Charlie could have a fun convo about Star Wars games sometime.

I really don't think that GTA 6 is missing the eligibility period for The Game Awards. Even though outlets are getting it for review on release day (not before reportedly), it's going to be VERY hard to ignore the absolute biggest release of the year because it's a few days after the deadline. 1/?

I'm watching the new episode of #Lanterns now... And if they're implying what I think they are, then I REALLY don't like it at all... Not a fan of the direction things are going. To me, it feels very unnecessary, and a bit cruel. Can't get into too much without spoiling... SMH.

Been going back to play games for trophies I didn't get before. Revisited #KingdomHearts Final Mix, even though I've played it many times. Apparently, I never got the trophies for finishing it at the time. So while listening to podcasts, I'm finishing it again. Sounds like a good excuse to do so.

So after watching #Primetime in theaters, I'll definitely say it has moments that are funny in a dark way. The ending I'm not sure I like, even though I get what it was trying to do. Feels like it ends suddenly. Is it worth watching? Yes... But in theaters? Maybe not for some.
