Blade Runner 2049 Review First, let it be said that I am a huge Philip K. Dick fan. That wily wordsmith with his mind-bending perspective on the world of tomorrow told some of the most influential science fiction tales of all-time. We need go no further than Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep the source…
Picking up where the first Cabin Fever left off with Shawn Hunter..ok the guy who played him playing someone else, getting hit by a school bus. The worlds worst cop returns to brag about the time a moose got hit by a car and ended up in a lady’s front seat and swears up and down the bus hit a moose not a person.
Yea that is basically how this movie is going to go. From here the movie basically turns into the usual high school drama movie except one of the students is also a stripper. Who also in the worlds weirdest revenge plot gives a nerd a blow job in the school bathroom…maybe not quite the usual high school drama stuff.
As prom night gets closer the worlds worst cop starts to figure out that maybe the illness is spreading and tracks down a water truck shipment.
Honestly I am going to skip ahead. As entertaining as the movie is at times most of the details are pretty par for the course. Nothing is all that new until prom, so lets go there.
Here we are. Prom night. After a small fight it turn out some group I can only assume is the CDC shows up with guns, locks the doors and begins to toss in tear gas and begins to kill every living person they can find. As our main characters try to escape more and more people are killed.
The end of this movie is an actual blood bath. There is blood and death everywhere. And of course 1 person once again escapes. I can’t say the movie is good, but it is fun. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
So I’m on twitter the other day and this guy I occasionally talk to informed me this 1997 classic..yea I say classic its 20 years old,is now on Netflix. (I will get to the other movie when I have time to read a movie)
Cube is essentially the movie that started the whole Saw movie thing. Don’t believe me? Go watch it. Or just read the general plot.
The movie starts off with people waking up not knowing where they are, with people they don’t know. Quickly they discover they are free to roam their general area but must find a way out of the building they are in. The building is square rooms, that all look basically the same of various colors with numbers near all the hatch doors.
I am sure you are wondering where the Saw part comes in. Well certain rooms have various traps set up to kill you, for example one of the escape experts gets his face burned off with a sort of acid spray.
Yes I did say escape expert. There is also an ex cop, a doctor what can only be described as an idiot savant and an office worker that designed the shell of the cube itself.
Added to all this is their struggle to decipher the connection between the traps and the numbers between rooms and how to get out of this death trap. It isn’t hard to see how this could be the father of the Saw movies, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
First thing first. I don’t want to waste any ones time. If you aren’t a fan of really slow movies that won’t get interesting until later, skip this movie. It wasn’t until around the hour mark the movie was anything much more than people standing around a haunted house.
With that out of the way, Penny takes a job at the Whaley House, the most haunted house in America. After some weird day at work and telling her friends they get excited and convince her to use her key to enter the house at night for a ghost hunt.
Yea I know, this is why friends are a bad idea. Anyway after calling a cousin with some ghost hunting equipment whom brings a pretty famous psychic and away we go….
Ok honestly at this point they mostly wonder around the house talking about ghost related stuff like cold spots and vortexes.
A bit later it gets a little more exciting and the ghost do more things and it really gets into the lore and back story of why this haunted house is even haunted in the first place. By all means if you like a good movie with some build up check this movie out, but I realise many of you like more excitement. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
What happens when a bus full of jocks, a few cheerleaders and a couple nerds get trapped on a bus with a demon type monster attacking it? Watch this movie to find out.
The movie starts on a farm with a father, his older teen son and his young son doing some work. The young son discovers one of the scare crows he was hanging wasn’t a scare crow at all. Of course every 23 springs for 23 days it can eat and humans are the main course.
After the young farm boy, our high school jocks are next. First the coach, then the bus driver, then the assistant coach.
Every so often we switch back to the dad building something in the barn, just hammering away with no clear indication as to what it is. I mention this because the pissed off farmer and his son are important later.
After awhile of being tormented and the bus being flipped and some implied racism the teens are forced to make a run for it. A few are picked off by the demon until eventually our farmer hero arrives in his trusty pick up being driven by his son. What was dad building? A modified stake driver to throw harpoons. The final battle is on. Who wins and who loses? Truthfully the people watching the movie win. A fun movie with some deep thoughts and some nice action scenes. One that is absolutely worth checking out if you have the option. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

This movie has a special place in my heart. Not because I love the movie, tho it is a good one. The sound is nice the acting is solid and the visuals are good. No, see my ex wife ( Hello ex wife) used to be find the song really creepy. You know the one. “Jeepers, creepers where’d you get those peepers”..any way i’d watch the movie and creep around the house singing the song just to freak her out….also you probably understand why she is the ex wife.
Jeepers Creepers is the story of a demon/devil sort of monster that terrorizes a highway harvesting humans for body parts it needs to survive and may be one of the most under rated horror movies of the early 2000-2010 decade. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

There are two main questions when it comes to loot boxes. Are they bad for gaming, and are they gambling? Honestly both a matter of opinion. Companies will say no to the first one because it makes them money and gamers seem to be pretty split.
The gambling question weirdly has seen different answers, Americas ESRB has sad no since you get something for your money and the European equivalent has said only a gambling commission could possibly answer it.
However my answers are simple, loot boxes are becoming a cancer. What started as just a quick way for game makers to make some extra cash and gamers to get some cool stuff is becoming damn near pay to win and a pay wall to hide stuff behind.
As for the gambling question that one is rough. Yes you do get something so I get the ESRB’s point. You pay money and you get something, where is the gamble? Here is where it gets dicey. What you get isn’t always of equivalent value. If I said send me $20 and you I will send you random money back between $1 and $100 would you feel that was a gamble? I certainly would. Either way it seems loot boxes are here to stay, so we may as well get used to them. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Let me start this by saying these series/games are some of the most popular in gaming. They are by most accounts great. I am not denying this. I just don’t like them. Some i just don’t enjoy some I simply don’t even understand. And here we go. Feel free to hate me in the comments.
The picture says World of Warcraft, but basically all MMO’s. I have played a few, WoW, Guild Wars, Neverwinter and a few others. I simply don’t get why people get so obsessed. They get boring and redundant quickly. And I play sim games.
Anything Metal Gear. I want to like these games. I beat 2. Played 3. 5 is free on PlayStation this month, I simply can’t do it. Worse yet I can’t explain why.
This one I won’t even try to say much about. In my retro review I said the original was more fun than I remember and I meant it. Here is that review https://saviorgamingblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/20/metroid-retro-review/
The series to me has never been good. I have played most of the series. I have never enjoyed it. The story, the game play, none of it.
Minecraft. The building game that took the world by storm. My daughter spent hundreds of hours playing it. Still plays it. Thanks to her I have played it tons. I hate this game. I don’t even understand it. You strip mine the world to build stuff for what purpose? I prefer 7 Days to Die.
This one may get me killed by some PlayStation fans. But I will say it. God of War is way over rated. Its a decent story with a button masher attached to it. That is it. Take away the threesum mini game and even the edginess is gone. I have never and will never understand it.
That’s it, my five games people love and I do not. Anything you guys would add? Let me know and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
