Skull and Bones

images (1)

Skull and Bones is one of those games that has been in the work awhile, in fact we saw it at E3 2017 as well as this year, and I heard about it before that. It has been pushed back at least once that I have written about. Ubisoft Skull and Bones Delayed

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing tho as they clearly want to learn from the mistakes of Sea of Thieves. So far Skull & Bones is shaping up nicely, as the game looks beautiful and seems to have a nice mix of needing to work together, but also giving you plenty reason to take the chance and turn on each other when needed. The real question here however is, will you be punished for doing it needlessly? One of my big issues with Sea of Thieves was that sometimes people just did stuff because they could and it was really a detriment to the game, and that was on top of there really being no content to the game. Either way, enjoy the trailer and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Last of us 2

Just in case you have been living in a cave these last few weeks, I am going to go the opposite way and show the trailer first which is the opposite of what I normally do.

There we go, now we are all caught up. Or not, I can prove you actually watched an over 10 minute video. But the The Last of us 2 isn’t without some controversy. First and to a minor scale, many people have claimed the game play was scripted or even in more extreme cases completely fake. I can buy scripted, because let’s be honestly nobody wants an E3 catastrophe. Fake? That is pretty unlikely considering the backlash they would face when caught, and they would get caught.

The other controversy, people are pissed off, that Ellie is a lesbian. Just like she was clearly was in the last game. Seriously were these people not paying attention, and this is especially true if you played the DLC, she had what amounts to a post apocalypse date with the girl right before she ends up infected.

The game looks amazing by the way, The story of the first seems to be carrying over nicely into the second. Ellie has grown up and her combat skills have aged to fit into her more adult frame. No longer does she struggle to do simple things, yet she clearly isn’t some super human woman either which I like. Tho admittedly the game isn’t exactly realistic either, but hey the game isn’t realistic to begin with, look at what you fight. Either way what are your thoughts? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Elder Scrolls Blades

The Elder Scrolls Blades, look I am just going to be honest, I love the elder scrolls series. I fell in love when I played Morrowind for the original Xbox and never looked back. I enjoy the card game, I play the online game, I am enjoying the Summerset chapter. That being said, who the hell asked for this? The game seems to be a weird mobile walk around use your finger to slash enemies sort of adventure game. Now admittedly I may be overly critical here. Also it should be noted it Pete Hines said in an interview they want to put it on “every platform that will run it, including VR” The game however just doesn’t look fun to me for some reason. I do hope I am wrong, but I will definitely be waiting on this one.

Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield

There isn’t much to say on this subject honestly, not much is known on Elder Scrolls 6 except the fact that it is being worked on, and at E3 they showed a short video that ended in a mountain shown in the picture. There are plenty of theories floating around about where this is, some say its a never before seen place, some a returning area. Personally I have no clue. I do know this, I don’t count on seeing it this generation of console like a few people are hoping. I have no clue why they think they will. With Fallout 76 coming this year and as the video at the bottom will show Starfield also pretty far along I can imagine Elder Scrolls 6 being to far along in its development.

Now on to Starfield. This is the game we will see towards the end of this gen and probably get a next-gen version of. Now honestly I have no real reason to think this besides the fact that it will probably be releasing on that edge of one generation ending and the next starting. These are just my random thoughts, take them for what they are and please, don’t read too much into them or take them as gospel. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (2018) — Dan the Man’s Movie Reviews

Just be nice to one another, dammit! Fred Rogers, to many people of a certain age, was an iconic figure for children’s television. He wrote, directed, produced, and starred in a little show called “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”, in which he used sock-puppets, songs, dancing, and above all else, human-interaction, to teach children about such beautiful […]

It’s a Disaster (2013)

download (8)

This is an interesting movie, basically a couples brunch gets pretty weird. One is a new couple, he a teacher, her the one that has a horrible taste in men. Another couple is forever engaged and twist, she won’t set a date. Watch the movie, you will understand why, seriously I wanted to punch this guy in the face. He is a paranoid conspiracy nut. We also have a couple that is, ok them I can’t explain without spoiling stuff.

The brunch actually starts pretty ok, until things aren’t ok. We find out the couple throwing this usual brunch are about to get divorced. So when the cable and stuff start going out it is assumed this is just a petty move to be vindictive. This is not the case however. What is actually going on is the our brunch happens to be taking place in the blast radius of chemical weapons. America has been attacked.

The weird part of all this? The movie is a comedy. Quite a decent one I might add. The movie isn’t amazing by any means, but it is worth a watch. There also some pretty good plat twist that I won’t spoil. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Kingdom Hearts 3

The time is almost here, Kingdom Hearts 3 will release January 29th 2019. People seem to be really excited. Maybe its the long wait, or the amazing graphics. Regardless Sora, Goofy and that useless bastard Donald are back, and hopefully he has learned how to heal people on time. I have my doubts tho. There seems to be a lot of new features and new worlds this time around, the new worlds have me excited the new weapons not so much. I am open to it being pretty cool, but the idea of the Keyblade transforming into other weapons doesn’t quite have me sold. Either way finally we have some answers, some game play and not long to wait. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Death Stranding

A game From Hideo Kojimo that for the longest time nobody knew anything about, and at E3 we finally got some game play from and now we know, basically still not much about. But Norman Reedus carries a baby around. There is a video that I will of course share later. The game play is a bit weird, a lot of time walking as a delivery guy avoiding something. Kinda looks like hand prints forming in the ground fast forwarding time. Look its Kojimo, there is going to be some weird and awesome shit.

The weirdest part tho, is that character seem to be some how immortal unless these invisible creatures kill them. The babies that are carried around in the jars seem to act as some sort of sensor system, which is quite interesting in itself but the real question for me is this. Can I weaponize this baby? Seriously that is the whole reason I want to play this game, to see if I can weaponize a baby. So enjoy the video and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

StarCraft (Retro Review)

Oh StarCraft, you make me feel so damn old. I remember playing you to the early hours of the morning. Both on PC and the Nintendo 64. Hell me and a friend figured out it was possible on the N64 to build 36 nukes as the Terran then pretty much fill the screen with their explosions. It was a good time for all. I mean not the place you dropped them, that was dead. The game itself is a real-time strategy game where you build troops as one of 3 very distinct races, the humans known as Terran, the insect like Zerg or the technologically superior Protoss. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses so pick your poison and practice away, I always liked the Protoss personally.

The game is amazing and to this day has a heavy online community even in multiplayer, tho most people have moved on to Starcraft 2 or the Remaster of the original. You can play the original for free however, and there is no reason not to at least try it out. the game still is a lot of fun if not graphically inferior to look at, I mean it is about 20 years old. It is still fun to play and not bad to look at compared to many games from its time, and its easy to see why all these years later it is still big online. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
