Feminist Art Fest 2020

Right off the bat, I want to say that I have never been to an event quite like this before. One of my goals for the blog this year is to go to more events in Toronto and the surrounding area. The Feminist Art Festival came up in conversation to go check it out was because a friend of mine was displaying an art piece at the festival. I thought it would be a good idea to go support her and the organizers of this festival by attending, as well as to better understand women's/trans/indigenous issues in the larger society.

Judgment: The 'Yakuza' Spinoff With A Dash Of 'L.A. Noire'

Judgment is the newest game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (and also developed and published by Sega) that is a direct spin-off of the Yakuza series. Now, I am a huge fan of the Yakuza series and I wanted to see how similar Judgment would be to the Yakuza series. As it would turn out, Judgment plays almost exactly like the Yakuza games. Many of the points that I make in my Yakuza blog post apply with Judgment as well, but I want to talk about the differences that set Judgment apart from the Yakuza games.
