Raycevick's Recommendations: Knives Out

Rian Johnson.

I wouldn't have predicted years ago watching Breaking Bad's "Fly" or Looper, that the man would become such a polarizing figure in Hollywood, and not because of those movies but...

Randomly Mine: VOIP

Remember MSN Messenger?

When logging off of Xbox Live for the day, there's a group of people I'd interact with on MSN, talking about Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns, how dead Myspace was, and a...

Raycevick's Recommedations: Intolerant by Jim Jefferies

I sort of feel for edgy Comedians. They'll always have people following them for the edge, and not necessarily the point. Jim Jefferies rather encapsulates this. Previously starting shows with a fu...

Raycevick's Recommendations: Asphalt 9

Building on my last question, you said you don't play roguelikes for very long. Why is that and what would/does it take for one to get you invested? View Post

Raycevick's Recommendations: M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

Raycevick's Recommendations: RTJ4

Raycevick's Recommendations: GRID (2019)
