Vanney oversaw the successful period of Toronto FC's history, guiding the team to accomplishments such as winning the 2017 MLS Cup, the 2017 Supporters Shield, and making the CONCACAF Champions League Final in 2018. He was also the MLS Coach of the Year in 2017. When I heard the news, one question was spinning in my head. How much did Greg Vanney really contribute to Toronto FC's success over his tenure?

Borderlands 3: Almost Exactly Like Borderlands 2

I have been playing Borderlands 3, and this game feels more like a continuation of Borderlands 2 rather than being a stand-alone game, because little has changed between 2 and 3. Borderlands 3 is by no means a bad game, but I would have liked to see some major improvements for this game. In fact, Borderlands 3 is even worse than Borderlands 2 in two major ways.

Changing Jobs And Suppressing Lingering Feelings

I initially did not want to create a third blog post about changing my job, but there were unaddressed feelings that I could not stop thinking about. I talked about my old company's lack of action of making me feeling important, as well as keeping in contact with my friends in the midst of a pandemic. However, I did not talk about what leaving my old company meant for my co-workers, especially in my old department. I realized that in order for me to move forward in my life and in my career, I might have to hurt the people I care for.

All Or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur Review

Since I finally have Amazon Prime, I have wanted to watch the "All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur" documentary, and I am glad I did. This documentary chronicles Spurs' rather entertaining 2019-2020 season, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This documentary bears a number of striking similarities to the Matchday: FC Barcelona documentary I have reviewed earlier this year in its quality production and matchday camera work.

Super Mario Galaxy: The Masterpiece

I saved the best game on Super Mario 3D All Stars for last, and that is Super Mario Galaxy. Super Mario Galaxy came out in 2007 for the Nintendo Wii to universal acclaim, for which I will explain further in this post. Super Mario Galaxy differs from the other two Mario games in the bundle. The focus of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy is on open-world exploration and collecting, whereas the focus of Super Mario Galaxy is on completing linear challenges. Super Mario Galaxy feels similar to many of the older 2D Mario platformers in its game design.
