Games that caught WillQ's eye at E3 2021 expanded universe

Hello gamers. How did you like E3 this year? Do you think the event is pointless now that it went online? Or did you think it was already pointless since 2016 when they opened up to the public? Or since 2013 when Nintendo and EA pulled out of the event? Or since 2007 when they closed to the public, as they were actually originally open to everyone before that? Or maybe E3 was never good? If it's hard to pick a stance with such a range of options, I suggest a dice roll - however, this is not actually the point of this blogpost. Rather, I'd like to brag that I've watched every single trailer aired as part of the extended "Summer Conference" series of events. I'd further like to self-indulge by linking stuff that I found interesting in some way or another and share some brief thoughts. Maybe you'll also find some of these games interesting - in any case, here they are in somewhat chronological order.

Top 20 Albums of 2020

Welcome to my sixth annual Album Of The Year ranking. Last year we left off on listening to 300 records and deciding this is way too fucking much and I should never do it again. After that I basically didn’t listen to any new music for a few months and only started checking out stuff mid-autumn… And now we’re less than a year later (since I only finished 2019 aoty in May and it’s Feb now) and my docket is saying that I’ve reached 366, exactly one album per day of 2020.
