Happy holidays! As the air chills, snow begins to fall, and we all scramble to find gifts for disgruntled relatives, take a moment to warm up with a host of festive events on the KRITIQAL Discord:
🎮Game Club
We're traveling back to the distent year of 2002 and dusting off our shmup skills with Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (Team Shanghai Alice). It's a game that has sadly been mostly lost to the degregation of technology, once again proving that piracy is a moral imperative.
And as a reminder, we our continuing our Final Fantasy XIII long play. This month we'll get through chapters 10 and 11 (the longest by far, so get ready to buckle up for winter break).
🍿Movie Club
As previously threatened, it's Death Dealer Days on the server as we fit 5 Underworld movies (plus an anime prequel) into the month. Enjoy more than eight hours of leather catsuits, slow motion gunfights, and troubling race allegories as we discover exactly what Kate Beckinsale has been up to for most of her career.
In videogame news, we will be hosting a watch party for the new documentary Earthbound USA (Jazzy Benson, 2023) which will certainly be a joyous occasion for gamers everywhere.
📖Book Club
Safe from vampires and lycans alike, we're continuing our readthrough of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (Hitoshi Ashinano, 1994-2006), cozying up with chapters 53-82. Will Alpha and Kokone finally kiss for non-business related reasons?
📼Anime Crimes
It was inevitable. We are watching Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Join us on two nights of questioning exactly what Scott Pilgrim is in 2023 and if Michael Cera should be an anime VA.
