Battlefield V Updates

download (3)

With EA conference being today we did get some new info on Battlefield V today, some of it expected, some of it maybe not so much. We found out houses are now pretty destructible so hiding in them will be more dangerous than ever. This is hardly new, but you can expect it to look better than ever.

Also the usual cannons floating around the map are now able to be moved. We saw a video of a vehicle drive up attached one and just drive away, now making them more useful and more versatile.

Also confirmed, and this one I expected as did most people, yes there is going to be a Battle Royale mode in Battlefield V. Not much detail has been given but we have been promised more before release, but we have been told there will be a Battlefield twist to it with weapons and vehicles.

I must admit the game is shaping up to be beautiful, and I for one am looking forward to it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods smile upon you.

E3 2018 EA thoughts

download

Despite some early showings from Battlefield V and Unravel 2 being revealed and launched at the same time The EA conference was quite dull. The good things were really good, but the bad things were just really bad. For example the choice to not show any Battlefield V gameplay but give a mobile game about 15 minutes of time was a terrible choice, and I have constantly defended mobile gaming, and always will.  Another odd choice was the Fifa tournament at the very end, why was that even remotely needed or done? Thousands of people watched that just to see if anything came after. (nothing did)

There was some great things tho, like the revelation that next year we will get a new Star Wars next year called Fallen Order as well as new DLC for Battlefront 2. All things considered, the entire conference to me was a bad start to E3 and I hope the rest will be much better. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Golden Axe (Sega Genesis Classics)

Today we get a double dose of  retro goodness this time with golden Axe.  Again check here for the details on visuals and such. Sega Genesis Classics. If you want A quit run down tho, Looks good, could look original, your call. Awhile back I called the Xbox version the definitive version of Golden Axe. I have no changed my mind, this is it. With the option to make it look how you choose and the controls feeling amazing. Give this one a shot, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Columns (Sega Genesis Classics)

download

By now you guys know the routine, if not check here. Sega Genesis Classics. Columns itself is an old-fashioned puzzle game where you match 3 colors to get rid of them and score points, hit the top and its game over.

While even when it released it was standard the game was a ton of fun and this hasn’t changed at all I am happy to say. The game also as you would imagine gets slightly harder as time goes on, which is also quite normal for the genre as a whole. Aside from that there isn’t much to say about the game, puzzle fans will be happy to add this to the collection. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Playing it Cool (2014)

download (1)

Playing it cool caught my eye cuz honestly I was bored and needed something to watch and it was there. Chris Evans is Captain America, Michelle Monaghan is cute, I tossed the movie on.

The movie is about A man who has never been in love and is tasked with writing a romantic comedy. While doing research to write it he actually falls for a woman, but because every movie needs some drama she of course is with someone. Honestly the movie is cliché as hell, almost to the point of being unbearable. From the grandfather that was in the Navy and met his grandmother right before shipping out all the way to tossing a rock at her window, and since it’s a comedy he even breaks the wrong window.

The movie is pretty funny at times, and the movie is entertaining enough, but the movie is just so cliché and awkward at times. The acting is top-notch, the story itself is just uninspired. However if you can simply accept that and watch the movie for what it is, it is pretty fun. The chemistry between Chris and Michelle is great and his friends are amazing. I would definitely watch it, but not if you are looking for something more than a distraction, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

State of Decay 2

download

This is one of those games I want to trash and praise at the same time, graphically it looks good but isn’t amazing and the game play is simply fun. You build a community of survivors while you find supplies, usual stuff. Search houses and warehouses and stuff, find food, gas for cars and generators, medicine. Nothing ground breaking but fun. The controls work nice, sort of.

I say sort of because damn these glitches are seriously a pain in the ass. Stuff disappears and reappears at will, you get stuck places, zombies will punch doors that don’t exist then suddenly do. The game has gotten better with updates, but honestly it is so damn frustrating to play at times. I don’t even bother with the online features most of the time. after all the issues. The game is fun, one example is early on one of my neighbors Mark and his friend Tom needed my help getting some medicine back. So I decided to help, and as we get them back these to robbers open fire. As they die I take this chance to put a bullet in the back of Marks head. I report Marks demise back to Tom, but I tell him the other guys killed Mark and offer to let him join my community. Not wanting to be left alone he takes me up on that. I now how Tom, their meds and a bunch of supplies.

This may seem pretty dishonest, but I thought it was whats best for my group. These are the types of decisions you can make, tho I am not sure you are  SUPPOSED to make. The best way tho to experience this game however is through game pass, until this game is fixed tho I can’t recommend buying this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Survivors Guide To Prison (2017)

images (2)

This isn’t actually a movie, it’s a documentary. It follows the struggle of innocent men sent to jail for crimes they clearly didn’t commit,but were charged and found guilty with anyway and how they eventually were set free. This happens far more often that you would think, but rarely do people ever get out.

The movie also gives tips for if you find yourself in this situation, such as getting a good lawyer, not discussing your case with other inmates or assuming any of them are your friends and remaining silent because much of it will be used against you and twisted by many. All of this is very good advice and actually the same advice any lawyer would give you.

The movie has a lot of information, far too much for me to pass along without this post being thousands of words long. If you are simply interested in the cases followed they are Bruce Lisker and Reggie Cole but I do recommend checking this out. It was an interesting and somewhat emotional watch with some valid points that many people may be unaware of, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
