Angelic Layer: The Mario Kart Big Leagues Review (Video/Podcast)
OK, here’s the deal, because good lord does this need some heavy explanation: The Setup Shortly after COVID hit big in 2020, some friends began organizing Saturday evening online gaming hangouts.

“The Legend of Zelda” Manga Review
I decided to start up a new category of postings over here on WTF EX. It makes sense to review things on blogs, so that is exactly what I will do! I can’t promise just how often I’ll actually review anything, but since this struck my fancy, I’ll just go for it. As you may…
