Sunderland 'Til I Die: The Perfect Storm

I finished watching both seasons of Sunderland 'Til I Die on Netflix, and I have been itching to write about this documentary, and to write a football post in general this year. I will write about my thoughts on the documentary, but I will also compare and contrast Sunderland's overall community (from the owners to the local supporters) to my days on going to Toronto FC matches. When I was watching this documentary there were instances where I felt like I was back in BMO Field, and there were things that Sunderland do that I wish Toronto FC could replicate.

Reminiscing On N64 Super Smash Bros + Quick Thoughts on Smash Ultimate

As the self-isolation takes hold on me, I have been taking measures to decrease my boredom while I am staying home. I purchased 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate' for the Nintendo Switch, and the purchase got me thinking about my fond memories playing the original 'Super Smash Bros' for the Nintendo 64.

COVID-19 Update: Stuck In Quarantine

As of last Tuesday, I have been experiencing symptoms consistent with the COVID-19 virus, such as having a sore throat, dry cough, and a mild fever. I remember being in a couple of specific stores where days previously, there was an employee in each store that tested positive for the virus, and so both stores were closed so that deep cleaning can take place. On that Tuesday when I was first experiencing symptoms was when I found out about one of the stores closing, so I immediately feared the worst. I entered into a 14-day quarantine at home in order to monitor my symptoms. I also let my boss know that I will be working from home indefinitely.

Shenmue III: Was The 18-Year Hiatus Worth It?

After purchasing 'Shenmue I and II' on a nostalgic impulse buy, as well as learning that Shenmue III was in development as a result of a Kickstarter crowdfunding initiative, I could not wait to get my hands on the next chapter of this simplistic, but legendary story. I thought that I was only one of a handful of admirers of the Shenmue series, but the money raised for the Kickstarter completely blew me away. Despite the branding of Shenmue I and II as being 'commercial flops', there was no question that there was something special about the series when it came to the story and characters.

COVID-19 and Self-Isolation

As the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus (also known as the 'coronavirus') continues to spread across the world, health professionals are continuing to urge people to take certain precautions, such as washing your hands, and only going outside your residence for essentials. In addition to these efforts, health professionals are recommending a practice of social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the virus. In basic terms, do not hang around other people if you do not have to.
