Monthly Blog Update #3
Hello everybody, July was an interesting month. I turned 21 and realized a couple of things, first being that I don't really find gaming entertaining anymore and I am way more into the technical side anyhow, and secondly, I've been enjoying watching TV recently more than I have playing games in the last 5 months. This revelation will not, however, stop me from writing about games.

Movies/TV/Video Game Tidbits
Battlefield 6
Battlefield 6 is continually destroying Call of Duty and Activition and I am absolutely relishing it.
NCIS S2
A good season with a very sad death of a main cast character.
NCIS Origins S1
A very strong start to the story of the Iconic lead of NCIS, giving light to certain details shrouded in mystery.
Star Trek: The Original Series S3
A strong final season, full of iconic episodes and philosophical themes, not to mention the episode titles (e.g. 'For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky').
The Librarians (2014) S1
A great start to a great series, it's a bit goofy at times; but then again, isn't everything? I love the idea of 'The Librarian' in general, it's like a goofy 'Indiana Jones'.
Superman (2025)
Amazing. Nothing short of it. It is the best Superman film (and by extension depiction of him) since 'Superman Returns' in 2006, considering how the DCEU absoulutely wrecked the character with 'Man of Steel', it was a return to form in a way that was definitely needed.
