Definitely an underrated football movie. Does a fantastic job of capturing the ethos of the de-industrialization of the east coast through the secondary characters and the setting. If you love an underdog story you will love this movie. The movie captures both the highs of achieving the American dream and the difficulties of working class life in the US. While the film is centered around Papale’s improbable leap to the NFL, the film is truly about the bonds of friendship and companionship in times of adversity and it’s a film that leaves you rooting for all of the characters involved. While it’s not completely accurate, the Hollywood changes in this movie are welcome and not obtrusive and keep with the overall theme of the story. If you enjoy Rudy, this film is a more realistic/accurate and more succinct Rudy. A fantastic feel good underdog story that will warm the hearts of football lovers and avid movie go-ers alike, it appeals to anyone with a heart.

Quite arguably the best game I’ve ever played. It’s a game that really brings you into its world and makes you care about the characters. Such a beautiful world and premise that makes you reflect on what it means to be alive. After multiple play throughs, it is overwhelming how differently the story can play out depending on your choices. Each choice has gravity both for the three playable characters and the world at large. My favorite aspect is that you as the player become the source of consciousness in the playable characters, you are the conduit for their “deviancy” as the game refers to Android consciousness. It’s a game that makes you want to come back and I was sad to see it end, the same feeling I get when I finish a favorite series or novel. Even as someone who doesn’t like quick time event gameplay, the gameplay flows well and become incredibly intense when one of your favorite characters is on the line. The voice acting is phenomenal and there’s a tremendous amount of character development for a game with a relatively short run-time. I went back to play the bad/violent/sad ending but couldn’t bring myself to make decisions that would kill/negatively impact the world and characters, which is a true testament to the writing and world building. Overall, a masterpiece in game design and storytelling
