What a year. Lots of great stuff coming from debut directors in Hollywood, while massive leaps are being made in both the triple-A and indie gaming scenes. Netflix and HBO are slowly taking over traditional cable programming through serial dramas with incredibly high production values, and my favorite indie artists put out some amazing records this year. Yet again, I didn’t quite have the time to read any worthwhile books due to cranking on a whole bunch of side projects throughout the year, but I’m hoping to give some of the 2018 bestsellers a read at some point next year.

2019 promises to be even better, with some really good stuff coming out on all fronts, so I’m really excited to see how it goes. Hope everyone had a great year, and see you next time!
