God of War Ragnarok (GoWR) is the best video game ever. Some confirmation bias may be at play here, because I had been waiting for it for a long time. GoWR was the first time in over a decade that I pre-ordered and paid the full price for any video game. Just months prior, I

2022 Year In Review
2022 was a rather notable year. Travels For me, the thawing of 2+ years of pandemic restrictions was by far the most defining characteristic of 2022. To make up for lost time, we were not shy about packing our schedules with trips: the family spent a week in Las Vegas, two weeks in Andalucia, Spain,
LEGOs of 2020
LEGOs are among the very few things that everyone in our family appreciates. For years, we’ve enjoyed flipping through LEGO catalogues together, strolling through the LEGO store whenever we went to the mall, and stopping to look for new LEGO sets in Target’s toy department. We have always considered LEGO sets to be some of
Dad vs. Disney Princesses – Part 3
Part 3 of the series will be short. It covers the dark period of Disney history when movies were made and watched, but not really liked or remembered. The following three represent 75% of Disney’s non-Caucasian princesses, and coincidentally they often don’t make the cut into lists of Disney princesses. The other thing they have
Dad vs. Disney Princesses – Part 2
If you’ve made it this far, I thank you for returning after I insulted your childhood idol. Let’s make it clear – I don’t hate Disney Princesses. Well, not all of them anyway. I just prefer to see them as who they are, underneath their pretty faces and colorful dresses. In the second installment of
Dad vs. Disney Princesses – Part 1
Like most of you, I grew up watching Disney movies. My earliest theater-going experience was of my aunt taking us kids to see Snow White. I was too little to remember much of the actual movie, but the excitement lingered for a long time. In the years that followed, I came to know and love
Car Shows
Early last year, I came across a so-called “research” article claiming that people who play car racing video games tend to get attached, become car enthusiasts, and end up purchasing more expensive sports cars. At that time, my interest in cars was close to zero. I hadn’t driven in years, and had no particular desire
Toy Story 3
The best movie. Ever. Quite worth the 5-year wait.
Storm Riders II
Storm Riders is an epic comic series started in 1989 and still going strong today. It was a top legend in Hong Kong’s comic book industry, likely being the most praised and most referenced work of all times. It was also my absolute favorite epic story… for a long time. The series started going downhill
李獻計歷險記
It’s been a while since the average independent short film freely available on the Internet was better crafted than the average Hollywood movie that you have to pay $15 at a theater for. However, I had never been this impressed before seeing this piece: ?????? (Lee’s Adventures). If I hadn’t glanced at the forum comments first, I
