Recommendations: Across the Spiderverse

Since I finally got around to watching Into the Spiderverse, and loving everything about it, I got to hop into the theatres for its anticipated sequel, and it's gotten some hate due to the toxicity of its fandom and social media outrage.

Previously, on Randomly Mine!

I talked about gaming's currently common cynical cash-grab character crossovers. Fortnite becoming a fight to the death on an island between Master Chief, Jill Va...

If you wanted to show someone 1-3 videos as a This Is Raycevick showcase, which one(s) would you pick so someone could get as distilled and pure and whole a picture of you(r channel) as possible?

Recommendations: The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons by The Hives

Normally, I don't recommend a new album or film this quickly, but god damn, the album just slaps that much! And it's not just Bogus Operandi, there's banger after banger here from Trapdoor Solution, The Bomb, The Way The Story Goes, etc.

Wha...

Recommendations: BEEF

I get a little uneasey when I see people put a specific studio on a pedestal, but it's happening right now to A24, and works like BEEF is the one had me putting them on one.

I loved Everything Eveywhere, All at Once, I recommended it on here...

Authors Note: I meant to have this Randomly Mine yesterday, apologies for the delay

The latest crossover event from Modern Warfare II has been do...

Video Update

Hey everybody!

As it's the end of the month, I owe you an explanation for what the video's process is. After much beating my head against a desk, I found a simple solution for focusing and getting more writing done...

Recommendations: Bloodsuckers by Saint Agnes

If you don't like LOUD albums... skip this one.

If you like 'em, then this album kicks you in the teeth right from the opening, and continues to with most of these filthy yet catchy rock vibe.

What surprised me was that it's not entire...

Q&A: July 26th, 2023

dksjournal asks
is it weird for you to think of Canada as a bilingual country, or do you just not think that way because the majority of Francophones live in one province? Ou peut-être vous êtes bilingue?

I'm d...

Recommendations: Uncharted Lost Legacy

I've caught up on Naughty Dog's post-PS3 era, and where The Last of Us II and Uncharted 4 overstay their welcome, Lost Legacy better paces itself while telling a better story than both.

Lost Legacy doesn't have Last of Us II's massive gamepl...

Recommendations: 4:23 by Mike Dean

I don't know anything about Mike Dean.

I don't know why this face (I assume his) is on the cover.

I didn't know what genre I was getting into when a friend DM'd this album to me asking about feeling like they're envisioning scenes whil...

Is it true that there’s no Canada like french Canada?

It's certainly the most unique we get as a Country; I've not been to Prince Edward, but I've been to Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario, and obviously...

Recommendations: To Catch a Killer

This film's title sucks.

This film's box art sucks.

But goddamn was this film good.

It makes total sense why Shailene Woodley through herself into the Producer seat to make this happen, because the scrip...

Update: Is It Harder?

Hey everybody;

I'm grateful to be writing this instead of speaking, as my throat's Sahara dry with a nasty cough and fierce pain. Travelling to a city of two million for a week, this result isn't surprising, especially via how I spent some o...

Q&A: June 28th, 2023

Apologies for this being such a long gap since the last Q&A, it was quite stupid of me to assume I'd just immediately fall back in line the instant upon returning from NYC.

For now, we'll be returning to bi-weekly Q&A posts.

So...

Recommendations: Octopussy

Going from For Your Eyes Only to this, was like going from Detroit to Barbados.

That might've influenced my enjoyment of this film, but in-general, Octopussy is just a really fun Roger Moore Bond film with hilariously charming Villains, fun ...

Recommendations: D&D: Honor Among Thieves

Why can't Marvel be this?

It's watching films like Honor Among Thieves with its charismatic cast of characters, phenomenal effects practical and digital, thrilling set-pieces, and mostly endearing humor, that serve to r...

I've played exactly one new game this year.

Meanwhile, I've watched a couple dozen films in just the last few months, even more hours are added whe...

What do you value most in an RPG? And what is something you think more games should focus more on for RPGs?

Ever since doing the Alpha Protocol video, what I really want to see more of is reactiv...

Recommendations: Texture by Battle Tapes

I haven't immediately fallen head over heels for an album this quickly in a long time, but it's no surprise that the group achieving this is Battle Tapes.

Despite doing what I normally don't, and binging each single leading up to the album's...
