Redline (2009) review

November 26, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Redline is an absolutely beautiful movie - maybe the most visually stunning film I've ever seen. It's completely hand-drawn, a lost art, and every single frame is so stylized and such a visual treat that I couldn't look away for a second.

Your Name. (2016) review

September 14, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
