Media Consumption Round Up - Mar. '25
I cannot believe I missed a post last week!
Well, actually I can. Things have been pretty wild in the Lutz household! At the end of March we closed on our house after having a week delay due to paperwork, but we’re all moved in now!
Time to unpack.
Speaking of unpacking, let me unpack the media I consumed during the month of March!
March was a WILD month. We spent most of it packing up boxes and closing on our house. We didn’t have much time to watch anything and my gaming time was virtually non-existent.
However, what we did watch was incredible.
TV
Zelphia and I are still into TV in a major way. The move has shaken things up a bit, but we’re constantly trying to find ways to hop into a good show.
March was a big month for us as we finished up two very good seasons of two very good shows. These are the shows that we finished in March.
Silo - Season 2
I said this last month and I’ll say it again, AppleTV+ is producing some of my favorite TV.
Silo season 2 goes a different direction than season 1, and it makes sense. Instead of learning about what the Silo is, viewers get to watch what happens when forbidden knowledge becomes known.
I didn’t expect to love this show so much, and after hearing people say the second season wasn’t very good I was ready to be disappointed. I was not disappointed, and instead, I found a show that really spoke to me!
I also wrote about this show in this post - here.
Severance - Season 2
I don’t know if there’s anything I can say about this show.
It’s the best show out there.
Go watch it, you’ll probably like it.
Video Games
This thing happens to me before a big move or major life change - I sleep a lot. It’s not even a choice, my body just shuts down around 7:30 pm. My current theory is that my body is doing me a solid and making sure I get enough sleep before having to expend all my energy moving.
That being said, I didn’t have much gaming time this month because of that. I typically play games between 5:20 am and 6:30 am, but with the extra sleep, I found it impossible to get up in time.
Lord of the Rings: Two Towers
I really enjoyed my time with Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, but I hit a wall so hard.
I got up to the battle of Helm’s Deep and a certain level where you have to defend a door from being broken by orcs destroyed me. It’s so incredibly difficult, but not in a good way.
There’s no challenging boss or interesting moveset to learn, it’s just impossible for me to parse how I’m supposed to make it happen. I had a couple of close attempts, but it got too frustrating for me.
I wasn’t having fun anymore, so I stopped playing it.
Drill Dozer
This game rocks.
It’s developed by GameFreak (the Pokemon people), and it’s about a girl and a mech with drills for arms.
The original GBA cartridge had a rumble feature on it that I can only imagine was really loud.
Everything about this game is cohesive. The music is peppy, the colors are bright, and the character design is wacky. What I love about this game is it’s ability to make every level interesting while piling on more mechanics that make the game a little bit more complex yet interesting.
It does have the old-game smudges like:
Not being able to consistently jump over enemies without taking damage
The slightest buffer time on attacks
Enemies that seem vulnerable but can still do damage
I love this game, and it’s short!
Honorable Mentions/No Comment At This Time
Tears of the Kingdom - I’m really close to wrapping this game up and I’m excited about that ← I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and I just discovered there are more things I want to do in this game lol, It’s going to be a while!
