Long Run-On Sentence by: Anthony Florez Writing about the film 1917 and it's single-take Oscar-bait amazingness is like writing about a rollercoaster ride in the sense that it's something that should be experienced rather than described, and my personal take on this film is -- be prepared -- going to feel like

Game Review: Control
Article by: Anthony Florez Nothing is more frustrating than starting a review or an impression of a thing with, 'this is difficult to describe,' because that's what I've volunteered to do... it's why you're wasting your precious time reading, it's the whole reason we're here.
