Jumanji Preview (2017)

download (7)

Now I won’t lie, when I first saw this was being remade I thought this was going to be dumb as hell. Hell some of you reading this I am sure know me personally are going to read this and say hey didn’t he say this was a dumb idea? Yes. I said this was a dumb idea. I still think its a dumb idea.

However having seen the trailer with The Rock and Kevin Hart in action the movie will at least be fun. Here check it out.

Now the idea of people stuck in a game is pretty played out, and the original Jumanji was a work of greatness I thought as a kid and I hope this one is equally as good, I have my doubts but I do have to admit, it looks fun.

The Fundamentals Of Caring (2016)

download (6)

The Fundamentals of Caring is the story of a young man named Trevor with a muscle disorder I won’t even try to spell that has a pretty demented sense of humor, and his personal care giver on his first ever job that is going through a divorce after a personal tragedy.

As the story progresses you will slowly realize this comedy is hiding a very serious story. What starts as a simple story of a man caring for a a disabled young man while his mom at works changes into a story about a road trip that would change the lives of everyone involved. On the trip they will pick up a young hitchhiker named Dot, and she will help change Trevor in ways he never thought possible. They will also pick up Peaches, a pregnant woman. Honestly I am not sure why she is here besides her small part in the ending and to even out the numbers.

The story has many twist and turns and bounces between hilarious and deeply thought provoking. From finding Trevors father, to practical jokes the movie will keep you guessing. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Sweet Virginia (2017)

Wow. Virginia’s an angry place. Who’da thunk it? Sam (Jon Bernthal) is an ex-rodeo rider who has seen his better years go by. After a career-ending injury, he’s been managing the Sweet Virginia hotel, where instead of riding on top of bulls, he’s riding on top of guests for being too loud or not paying. […]

Pier Solar And The Great Architects

download (3)

Pier Solar has a complicated back story. Not the in game itself, like the actual development and release of the game itself. It also may be the last Sega Genesis game released. You can find more info here.

The game itself is a fun old school RPG, but at times offers very little to go on in terms of where to go. People used to this style of game will be fine, but many will just be pissed off and should look up a walkthrough. The battle system is a classic turn based system, and doesn’t offer anything new to an experienced gamer but it is still fun and engaging.

The story while pretty standard is interesting and has enough twist and turns to remain interesting and keep you playing. The game has its faults but for its price any old school fan should check it out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Let’s Be Cops

download (2)

We all have that one friend that just takes shit way to far. Mine growing up was named Mike, we called him Monkey. We used to do all kinds of stuff, some legal some not so much. But he would always take shit from being fun to dangerous or stupid. Sadly he died a few years ago, and yes it was his habit of taking shit way to far that killed him.

This movie is basically that. One guy taking shit way to far. One day when they mistakenly think they are attending a costume party they are mistaken for, well cops. This of course is fun. This of course leads to one buying an old cop car and making it look like a new cop car. And a police radio. And patrols. And answering calls.

This of course eventually goes horribly wrong. I mean how could being a fake cop go wrong? Yes there is also a woman involved, because what kind of story doesn’t have a love interest? The movie is both interesting and funny, by all means check this one out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Preview: Getting Tactical with Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark — 16-Bit Dad

Preview: Getting Tactical with Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark As you may have guessed if you read my 7 Retro Gaming Kickstarter Projects post, I’ve been really excited for Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark. From the very first time I saw the animated GIFs of gameplay on the Kickstarter page, I was hooked. You see, I’m a…

Step Brothers (2008)

download

When I first saw the previews for this my first thought was what the hell is this? Will Ferrell has finally gone and lost his damn mind. This movie is going to be the dumbest thing I have seen this year…I was so so wrong.

Two 40 year old men living at home acting like children, but still adults. One with his mother the other with his father. They meet at a medical conference fall in love, get married and move in together. That is about the time shit gets weird. How weird? Well check this out.

Yea the movie is a bit weird. The movie is also hilarious. It also has a really good story to it. Two people meet, fall in love, their kids hate each other, become best friends, and try to sort their lives out. Sure there are some twist and turns and plenty of laughs in between, but in a weird way I think its popularity is because we can all relate to parts of it. We have all felt like we lost a part of our childhood and wanted it back or we have all refused to let go of a part of our childhood. The movie is certainly worth checking out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

images

Another movie that most people consider a classic, and I am inclined to agree. The story of two young men on a road trip in the wrong place at the wrong time down in Alabama. Not the normal Alabama by the way, backwoods corrupt everyone knows each other Alabama.

Enter Joe Pesci, a New York lawyer looking to win his first case. The problem is he isn’t a very good lawyer. What will follow is a story of lies, mistakes, jail time and one hell of s wild ride where Marissa Tomei will do most of the work anyway all in name of finally getting married.

Admittedly this movie with anyone other than Joe Pesci and Marissa Tomei would not work. They just have an odd chemistry that made it work. The story while solid and a script that was fun was simply an average movie that was made memorable by two people that went above and beyond to make it amazing. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Battlefront 2 Loot Boxes Gambling?

There is no quick answer to this question, but maybe. But that is a question many people have been asking lately it seems. Belgium Justice Minister seems to believe it is, tho Translations seem to be a bit off and there has been an update to the story that can be found here.

Hawaii Rep. Chris Lee also wants to fight what he calls “predatory behavior” more on that can be found here.

Now i’m not sure gambling is the right word, but I can understand the argument. You are spending money and may or may not receive something of equal value. On the flip side of things you will get something for your money so is it really a true gamble? This is definitely an interesting thing to watch. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
