Summer Series List

(View as Sheet)

G

Pathologic 3January 9 - Now

Bought Pathologic 3 the second it released, but I got very busy and couldn't finish it until summer. I have no clue how a studio can continue writing a series for twenty years and still have the same if not better quality writing to this day

G

Diablo II: Reign of the WarlockFebruary 16 - May 18

The new class is very fun. It's honestly better than Diablo IV's Warlock. They're both good though. It was also fun to play the Diablo II campaign again

B

The ChurchApril 22 - May 24

I've always known more of Jan Hus' political and revolutionary impact than his actual philosophy and criticisms on the Catholic Church, aside from its needless extravagance. He's a very snappy writer and it's a surprisingly digestible book

B

The Age of Revolution: 1789–1848May 9 - May 26

I wish I read this book years ago. I think it would help me appreciate the post-Napoleonic era as I do now. The book really covers an impossibly large amount of change in only a few hundred pages and gave me as much insight as a Parenti book

B

Life of Prince MetternichMay 12 - May 25

George Bruce Malleson is pretty good at organizing historical texts and the lives of people into neat groups. I quite liked all the quotes from Metternich put in better context, especially post-1815

B

Acts of WorshipMay 19 - May 27

Mishima's short stories are like glimpses into the rest of his works. I love how true his books feel and he speaks about his own secrets most people wouldn't dream of sharing

B

A Game of Thrones(Reread) May 19 - Now

Feels like I'm reading it for the first time. Easy ten out of ten. I feel like the more I sit with this book the more I like and understand Ned. Top ten most misunderstood characters that aren't women

S

Schitt's Creek(Rewatch) May 1 - May 20

The show is somehow even better than I remember. It was alway good, but there's a lot more subtlety in both the acting and dialogue that was harder to notice when I was younger. Season 5 features some of the best performances I've ever seen

G

Diablo IV: Lord of HatredMay 24 - May 26

Lord of Hatred is like a not quite as good Reaper of Souls for Diablo IV. Took a quite disappointing game and made it pretty good and fixed a lot of its issues. It also brought Lilith back and returned her to her Sin War books level of writing

A

Go For It, Nakamura!!May 25 - Now

First anime I've seen in like two years. The manga is very good, but the anime might actually be better. It completely redoes the pacing and chronology in a much more natural way, and its additions are well-made

B

Confessions of a Mask(Reread) May 25 - May 27

It's a contender for my favorite book. There's really no other book that touches me as deeply as Confessions of a Mask. It's a book I think you need to actually be homosexual to get the most out of it, as it is a very personalized book

G

007: First lightMay 26 - June 3

I got the early access since it's IO game. The game mechanics are a bit clunky and I do wish they went for a more Hitman approach to progression, rather than basically being Life is Strange with more gameplay

G

Fear & Hunger 2: TerminaUpcoming

B

The Last WishUpcoming
