When Ramon isn't bringing his friends to their knees playing board games, he creates entire worlds out of Lego that would impress even Hollywood. To recover from the offline world, he dives headfirst into series and binge-watches with total dedication. His motto: "One more episode to go!"
I write about technology as if it were cinema, and about films as if they were real life. Between bits and blockbusters, I’m after stories that move people, not just generate clicks. And yes – sometimes I listen to film scores louder than I probably should.
Which films, shows, books, games or board games are genuinely great? Recommendations from our personal experience.
Show allNot much may have happened this week. But there was all the more talk in the sixth episode of "The Acolyte". Luca is particularly enthusiastic about Qimir's perfidious seduction techniques; even Palpatine's methods are rather clumsy in comparison. Patrick and Ramon share his opinion, even if Ramon was almost driven mad by all the scenes involving Master Sol and Mae. Nevertheless, there was a lot to discuss and analyse.

Luca is living proof that our parents were lying: There are no square eyes from watching too much TV. Rumour has it that he was already watching "Star Wars" films and reading Marvel comics in his mother's womb. Today, after many years of field research, he knows his way around the Disney universe better than Al Capone in 1930s Chicago. He uses the same password for his 14 streaming subscriptions because otherwise he would forget them. The only people who are allowed to interfere with his "work" are his two cats.

The Force must be with Patrick, as he saw the light of day in the same year as "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (if you know, you know). His love for "Star Wars" is so great that he practices fight choreographies in the garden on warm full moon nights, with Bo-Katan Kryze's helmet on his head and Kylo Ren's lightsaber in his hand. When he's not saving the galaxy, he fights side by side with Gandalf and Legolas against Saruman's Uruk-hai army, deploys Wolverine's adamantium claws or swings through skyscraper canyons like Spider-Man.
