Ensemble Theatre Collective's production of Jiehae Park's Peerless is undeniably compelling.

The second half of this post contains full narrative spoilers for Angeline Era, a video game from 2025.

Royal City Musical Theatre's production of Shrek the Musical is about as good of a version of the musical as you can find.

Corey Payette’s new musical On Native Land is ambitious.

Odds are, you know what to expect from High School Musical.

I’ve been replaying a few Zelda games lately, and it’s been interesting to remember how many of them begin with Link, the player character, waking up.

Much like 2024, 2025 was a great year for games and a terrible year for the games industry.

I saw a huge number of shows this year!

We’re back!

Happy 2026!

I’ve been very confused by the anticipatory coverage of the upcoming game Kirby Air Riders.

This year’s Vancouver Fringe Festival came to a close a little over a month ago now, meaning that I watched a ton of theatre for a week and a half and have had some time to think again about what it means to be a good audience member.

It’s been a big couple of years for me seeing more of Canada.

If you’re reading this, you should do yourself a favor and check out a pair of games: 20 Small Mazes and Strange Jigsaws.

Okay, look, I get it, it’s clearly silly to wait in line for hours to pick up a product that you’ve already paid for and reserved just so that you can use it a little bit earlier than you otherwise might be able to, and yeah, we’re all in agreement about…

When I read or listen to Stuart McLean’s writing, I’m greeted with a warmth and comfort that surpasses the nostalgia that I would expect.

Today is May 1, which is International Workers’ Day, and entertainment news site Polygon was sold off to SEO farm Valnet with a large portion of its staff losing their jobs.

My favourite part of playing D&D, I think, happens outside of actual sessions of D&D.

I recently finished playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses and I have a mixed opinion about it.

The other night I went to VIFF for a somewhat impromptu double feature of Universal Language and Grand Theft Hamlet.

I remember being a kid in February of 2011, watching the Oscars on TV with my family.

Another great year for games (and a terrible year for the games industry)!

Heck of a year for theatre!

It’s been a bit of a down year for reading for me, sorry to say. 2024 started off strong for me, with a series of books that I thoroughly enjoyed all in a row.

What a fun year for movies!
