Most games think agency = story (this misunderstands the assignment 🤣). Every so often, a game groks the medium so well it uses your own expectations to emotionally destroy you. #BioShock did it in 2007. #Dispatch just did it again. I humbly present what's likely my GOTY: youtu.be/TxzMKyJshpc

Guy Ritchie's King Arthur is the gangster-legend mashup you didn't know you needed. Charlie Hunnam's brothel-raised brawler deserved those 6 sequels Warner Bros promised (and spectacularly fumbled). I will die on this hill. 🗡️ youtu.be/zKs0LaGW5A4 #KingArthur #UnderratedGems #GuyRitchie

Netflix's Nimona almost died when Disney axed it at 70% done. What survived? A pink shapeshifter masterpiece about radical acceptance that hits harder than any lecture on othering. Chloë Grace Moretz + Riz Ahmed = vocal perfection. Worth your subscription alone. parrydox.com/why-you-like...
