I have long delayed trying to play this game, but I saw Death Stranding on sale for $20 on Steam, so I decided to pick it up and play one of the most talked-about video games in recent memory. Death Stranding is an action-adventure game released in 2019, and it is the first game from director Hideo Kojima (most famous for the Metal Gear franchise) since leaving Konami. I admit to having some preconceived notions prior to playing this game where I thought it was going to be rather boring and be a walking simulator delivering cargo to different people. When I played this game, all my preconceived notions came true, but I ultimately still enjoyed the experience.

March 2026 Update

Hello!

I hope everyone who is reading this is having a wonderful 2026. I felt like I did not have the best start to 2026, as there have been a number of weird things going on in my life. I have been dealing with my own set of struggles lately.

This Is Finally The Right Time To Talk About Tyler Perry

When I was in Atlanta back in 2019.

I have had long-held opinions about Tyler Perry and his movies for years, but I have not found the right time to express those opinions on this blog…until now. I just watched FD Signifier’s 4-hour video on Tyler Perry where he talks about his beginnings in theatre, to the issues with Perry’s movies, to his vast business empire. This is an incredible video and I highly recommend people to watch it and understand how damaging Tyler Perry is to the black community and other minority communities as well. I am not going to rehash anything in the video, but I want to talk about my personal anecdotes on watching some of Tyler Perry’s movies (particularly the Madea movies) and how I have come to have the opinions that I have about him.

Canadian International Auto Show 2026 Media Gallery

I did not plan on going to this year's Canadian International Auto Show but I ended up going to check it out on the first day of the show's opening. It was pretty much the same as last year, but with some different cars to see. Because I went on a Friday evening, there were not as much people as when I would normally go on the weekend or on the holiday. It meant that I got to do some activities that I did not have to wait a long time for. One of those things was to ride along on the Jeep obstacle course where I was jerked around like I was going off-roading.

Anyways, here are some of my pictures from the evening in question.

My Issue With Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

I just finished playing Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and I know that there has been much chatter about the game about what it is and what it should be. I ignored the talk as much as I could and just played the game, and I have some thoughts about Samus's latest adventure.

Frieren And Trying To Find Closure

I have watched my share of anime over my life, and I can say that there were two anime that moved me on an emotional level and shook me to my soul. The first anime was Your Lie in April which I already wrote a post for, and the second anime is Violet Evergarden which I need to rewatch and write about. At the time of myself writing this post, I need to add a third anime to this list.

Quebec City Travels: Unique Hotels, Maple Taffy, and Funiculars

I had a magical time visiting Quebec City last October. I have not been to a city like this since visiting the Italian cities on my Italy trip a couple of years ago. There was so much that I got to experience in Quebec City that did not make it to any of my other Quebec City posts, so I want to talk about it in the next couple of posts.

I would say that 2025 was an above-average year in gaming, and I was able to play some of the top releases from last year, as well as from 2024 that I missed. Here are my top ten video games I played in 2025 (for the first time), but first I have some honourable mentions.
