Zombie Army Trilogy – No Sign of Zombie Goebbels
This week, Morgan is inducted into the modern trend of shooting swathes of zombies, the sheep. Nazi zombies always feel like overkill to me. We already dislike regular zombies; their intent to nosh on our balls makes them rather awkward dinner companions. Proceeding to then also make them Nazis feels like an unsubtle method to […]
Review of Mayday Parade’s Self-Titled Album (2011)
My Spotify Wrapped and last.fm listening report has revealed something about me I didn’t realise before: I listen to a lot of Mayday Parade. I couldn’t tell you why since I thought I’d left behind my edgy angst phase back in 2014, but it seems as though some things never change. Mayday Parade is a […]
The Mandalorian Season 2: Raising the Bar for Star Wars
Having had some time to reflect on the second season of The Mandalorian since it’s bombastic and fan–service–filled finale, I can confidently say that executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have set a new standard for the beloved space-faring franchise. Coming off an already impressive first season, they took the opportunity to go bigger and better. Through expanding the lore in new and […]
Rating Every Version of Mitski’s ‘Class of 2013’
Music acts as both an emotional outlet for artists, and an emotional conductor for listeners. Though a lot of artists come close, Mitski is one of the only artists who can, without fail, make me feel something. I have a deep emotional connection with almost every single one of her songs, but there’s one that […]
Review: What Chaos is Imaginary
Girlpool is a rock duo from Los Angeles, California, formed by the two guitarists and bassists Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad. What Chaos is Imaginary is their third studio album, released in 2019. The album reaches at concepts like getting older and still feeling young, going through physical changes, and learning to love the past […]
Injustice 2 – No Blood, All Spandex
This week, Morgan gets into the world of fighting games, most likely as a cry for help. Like any shut-in, cosplaying nerd, I love Batman. And I especially love how he always wants to be taken seriously. But once you see him campy-ing it up with Scooby-Doo in those bizarre 1960s crossover episodes, the scales […]
A Night In Berlin – Ich Bin Ein Reviewer
Morgan takes the plunge into the void of darkness that is the Steam store’s free-to-play page. Yeah, you’d better look grateful. I’m no clairvoyant. I’m sure I could be; all I’d need is a fancy headband and to swindle enough people out of their money in a cheap tent propped up on ice lolly sticks. […]
Doom – Doom Or Bust
This week, Morgan reviews the best-selling testosterone-ridden shoot ‘em up of 2016, in a misguided attempt to become the alpha male. Imagine my disappointment, readers. … Okay, that’s enough imagining, now to put it into words. Already I can feel the judgemental gaze of a few close associates on the back of my neck as […]
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Zombies – Brains! Or A Lack Thereof
This week, Morgan reviews half of a seven-year-old game, in a last-ditch attempt to silence the homicidal urges. Envision a society that has collapsed in the most brutal way possible. A society overrun with blood, grime, chaos and shambling husks that were once human beings. But that’s enough about my last trip to Glasgow, let’s […]
2020: A Chaotic Review
So 2020 happened; I honestly had to do a decent amount of research for this article, considering the amount of random stuff that happened that barely had me bat an eye. It all began on December 31st, 2019, we all raised glasses to a year of “2020 vision”, Halloween on a Saturday, Christmas on a […]
Bendy and the Ink Machine – 2B or not 2B
This week, Morgan decided it best to play an episodic indie game. And he was lucid at the time, astonishingly. We’ve been through a hell of a year, as anyone and their greengrocer will tell you, so it’ll come as little surprise that everyone’s looking forward to what 2021 may bring. Me, I’ve been preparing […]
William & Kate: The Movie
I love a good romantic comedy. Something that has a sweet ending where despite the comedic obstacles, the main protagonists make it to the end and find each other. Although sometimes cringey and cliché, I like the message of hope, of not giving up, and definitely marrying a prince. Romantic comedies can be funny and […]
Bioshock Infinite – Fly Like An Eagle, Fall Like A Morgan
Morgan continues blighting The Record with his ramblings, mainly as an excuse to avoid doing the dishes. Bioshock Infinite was released in 2013 to the collective confusion of many fans. Picture it: you’ve spent the first two games sitting in the bottom of the Mariana Trench drugging yourself six ways to Sunday, but in these […]
What to Watch: Rebecca
Okay, confession time – I haven’t seen the Hitchcock adaptation of Rebecca. Worse still, I haven’t even read Daphne de Maurier’s original (and much beloved) source novel. I know, it’s shameful. And my ignorance is not for lack of interest either: a gothic ghost story; a sinister housekeeper; scandals; secrets, and shipwrecks – it’s everything […]
Bioshock 2 – Do Drugs, Kids
Morgan continues using The Record as an outlet for his impotent rage, as the March lockdown didn’t satisfactorily isolate him from society. Much like the weird smelly kid your mum forces you to be friends with, I tend to avoid Bioshock 2, and judging by the way the game constantly crashed every five minutes, […]
Review: Theory of Love
“Theory Of Love” is another Thai BL series that I discovered during isolation. Aired from June until August 2019, the show follows the story of Third, a third-year film major and his close friends, Khai, Bone and Two. For almost three years, Third has had a huge crush on Khai but is not brave enough […]
Bioshock: Who Lives In A Dystopia Under The Sea?
Morgan continues using The Record as his own personal venting outlet, just to show them. To show them all. As our world seems to grow ever closer to biological, ecological and nuclear disaster, you see many normal people like you and me taking courageous steps to improve our worsening situation. There’s you, leading protests against […]
Review: My Bubble Tea
A love potion, two handsome young men, and the woman who gets caught in between. These are the main elements of a chaotic love triangle portrayed by My Bubble Tea – the recent Thai rom-com series. “My Bubble Tea” brews an extraordinary love story through its very first episode which aired on May 22, 2020.
