quantifica march

Hey team! First on-time quantifica of the year. Huzzah! Champagne! Let's start with a little housekeeping:

Since posting the 2025 video, I've gone back and expanded the January and February quantifica posts to reflect the full scope of relevant projects. This includes aggregated reviews for games and movies, as well as detailed progress reports. I've also caught up on WIP posts for January (from a forthcoming vid on John Wick), February (from a forthcoming vid on Disco Elysium), and March (from a shelved vid on Breaking Bad). The next compilation of tier list videos will arrive soon, you can watch installment one and installment two in the meanwhilst.

OK on with the show.

PROGRESS REPORT

Continued writing In The Revolution, There Will Be Disco. Really wanted to get the script done this month, but it feels like every segment I write I'm having to relearn how to write scripts. This is gonna be a strange, snaking essay, y'all. John Wick: With the Animals is not scrapped, I just didn't touch it this month as I focused on the Disco Elysium script (and the 2025 video).

Realistically, I don't see either video getting done in April, either, because I'm moving this month, and life is chaos. There are a few smaller things I want/need to do - the Patreon relaunch, a post-ARP video that finalizes a few things, and maybe a small something on a movie - which may take some focus this month as they will be easier to juggle with everything else. No guarantees any of them will release before May, as this move is proving quite the undertaking. But you'll be hearing from me plenty regardless of what gets finished. And the John Wick video will probably take precedence soon because I want to get it out before Ballerina releases in June. Oi.

March had 5 Mondays, so Willow and I released 5 tier list videos; you'll get them very soon! Had our first and second guest reviewer this month!

BINGO CARD

Card is finalized, and two squares are filled in! Wrapping The Alt-Right Playbook counted as Thing From Last Year's List, which was randomly sorted into the green square in the bottom write. And a [redacted] square directly above it came in at the very end of the month. The distribution of squares was randomized, but fate has given me a shockingly achievable vertical line along the O column, and I'm already working my way through it, muahahaa.

MINIMIX

Tüns. As ever, if you are not logged into Spotify, the app will pepper this with extra songs not of my choosing. Don't blame me if it gives you balderdash.

Give the Anarchist a Cigarette
"Nothing ever burns down by itself, every fire needs a little bit of help."

Soprano
"It's only competition if you stand there alone."

Ain't That a Bitch

Wouldn't Come Back

FILM RANDOMIZER

Reviews for Xtreme, Never Let Me Go, Past Lives, and Kill.

READING LOG

I realize "Mouth-only reread" doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone who hasn't read The City in the Middle of the Night, but, well, there's a really obvious way to fix that. Just sayin'.

GAME CABINET

Wrote you a lengthy review of Roadwarden, which gets my official endorsement. I'll also take this moment to shout-out Varney Lake and Dreams in the Witch House.
