So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review
I’ve never seen the classic Hitchcock thriller, The Birds, but I’m very familiar with the trope! Some birds are just creepy. They sit and watch you. Crows can recognize you, which can be good or bad depending on whether you’re a good person or… Continue Reading “So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review”
Kids’ Play Time Can Be Weird – Fort Review
Boardgames have had many themes, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where the theme is the rise and fall of friendships when you were a kid. Not to mention playing around the neighbourhood, building a tree fort, and just passing the… Continue Reading “Kids’ Play Time Can Be Weird – Fort Review”
Grandma’s Getting a Little Hairier – Final Girl – Once Upon a Full Moon Review
You all know the story. Little girl goes to visit Grandma, who for some strange reason lives alone in the woods. Is she the Unabomber? Is she posting manifestos on Facebook? Anyway, little girl arrives at Grandma’s house and lo and behold, Grandma forgot… Continue Reading “Grandma’s Getting a Little Hairier – Final Girl – Once Upon a Full Moon Review”
Sandy Tableaus – Santa Monica Review
Being from the Midwest and now living in the rainy Pacific Northwest, one thing I haven’t really had much of a chance to do is walk the sandy ocean beaches on the Pacific Ocean. Yes, the Oregon Coast is amazing, but where we’ve gone… Continue Reading “Sandy Tableaus – Santa Monica Review”
Seasoned Expansions – Sea Salt & Paper Expansions Review
Sea Salt & Paper is a fun little card game for 2-4 players with beautiful origami artwork and interesting mechanics that make for a great filler game. Since it’s just a card game, you know that any expansions are going to be just, well,… Continue Reading “Seasoned Expansions – Sea Salt & Paper Expansions Review”
They’re Heeere – Final Girl – The Haunting of Creech Manor Review
One of my very first horror movies, when I was just a teenager and not watching these R-rated slasher flicks, was the PG-rated Poltergeist. I watched it on a sleepover with some friends, and yeah, it was pretty spooky and scary for me. So… Continue Reading “They’re Heeere – Final Girl – The Haunting of Creech Manor Review”
Horrifying Christmas – Final Girl – North Pole Nightmare Review
Just in time to miss Christmas by a few days, how about checking out a Christmas-themed Final Girl feature film with all the bells and whistles of cheer and good tidings to you! Oh, and some evil monster wanting to kill everybody (including you)… Continue Reading “Horrifying Christmas – Final Girl – North Pole Nightmare Review”
Riding the Rift – Riftforce Review
There are a lot of two-player lane battler games out there, some with twists and some…without. The best ones have cards with different abilities that are squaring off against your opponent in an attempt to have the most strength in a lane. Riftforce meets… Continue Reading “Riding the Rift – Riftforce Review”
See You on the Flip Side – Fliptoons Review
One of the big hits in 2025, especially when you’re looking at fun, fast, and zany card games, is Fliptoons. This game just basically covers all the bases if you’re looking for something light but yet intensely fun (sorry, Dan). The game was designed… Continue Reading “See You on the Flip Side – Fliptoons Review”
Somebody’s Knocking – Final Girl – A Knock at the Door Review
Horror movies are not really my forte (though I have to say that you should definitely check out Dust Bunny now if you can! It’s great and not really much of a horror movie, but it’s still fun). Jump scares and creepiness while watching… Continue Reading “Somebody’s Knocking – Final Girl – A Knock at the Door Review”
