Haunting of Hill House trailer

Normally I’d ask why but it’s been almost 20 years since the god awful remake of a terrifying book and eerie black and white movie. I can say the movie visually looks nice and there is some nice scenery but other than I get a generic feel. I think because the original has been emulated so many times a remake is going to feel like it’s a copy of a copy. Still, it looks meh. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Captive State trailer

Was I the only person who saw this trailer and immediately thought of The Purge ? Seriously, the intro to the trailer as well as the “give thanks” chanting and some the imagery automatically made me think Purge knockoff…until after rewatching the trailer you see the giant ass meteor at the end. I really hope the next trailer is a lot better and give us a better, less derivative look at the movie so I’m voting to wait for next trailer to see if this turns out to be something cool or a dud. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Captain Marvel trailer 1

The day has come not long after Captain Marvel suit revealed and we get the full trailer. After Wonder Woman proved the world was ready for some badass super women, Captain Marvel is going to be Marvel’s first female lead superhero flick in the MCU. From the image of Carol Danvers crashing into BlockBuster (if 2 eyed Nick Fury wasn’t enough of a hint, the movie takes place in the 90’s.) to the last moments where she goes Binary, I was really impressed with the visuals. Honestly, I wished Green Lantern looked half as visually pleasing. I’m intrigued to see the MCU dig deeper into the cosmos and I wish the movie well. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Mary Poppins Returns trailer

So we finally get a real trailer for the surprising sequel to the beloved children’s classic. Mary Poppins Returns teaser was just that, but I can now say it looks promising. Emily Blunt doesn’t seem like a bad choice to reprise the role Julie Andrews made iconic. I like the technicolor effects for the vintage Disney vibe. In the end, it will be something interesting to see; may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina trailer

After watching the Riverdale season 3 trailer and being curious as hell, the curiosity tripled after finding out Sabrina was getting her own show again. Well, a weird day it is when Sabrina the teenage witch has a freakier trailer than American Horror Story . I was caught off guard and I’m glad to say it looks pretty cool and I’m willing to give the new creative direction a shot. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Mega Man 11 Demo Review

Lets be honest, the Mega Man series in recent years has been far from great. The glory days have long since passed and fans have been dying for a reprieve. @torstenvblog played Mighty No. 9 (first impressions)  and was not happy with what can only be described as a Mega Man rip off. I couldn’t be bothered to play it myself even tho it was a free game from PSN after he told me how much he hated it. Suffice it to say, going into this demo I had very little faith this would be good.

To start there is a new mechanic, that admittedly I thought I would hate. You can basically slow down time or power up your weapon for a short period at the push of a button. I found the time slow more useful but the ability to hit a little harder when needed was nice. The L2 and R2 buttons on PS4 were my favorite add-on with being able to switch between robot powers at the push of a button. They have really streamlined many things in Mega Man 11, for example the triangle button just calls down Rush Coil for you. Now I know many things aren’t exactly new, but they function better than ever and are far more useful than ever before.

Graphically the game is beautiful but a bit cartoonish. I don’t mind this at all but I can see a few people being bothered by this. The sound is great as well but honestly all of this means nothing if that great Mega Man feeling isn’t there. I am happy to say by the way, it is. Less cheap deaths than the old days, but they are still there. You will be jumping and sliding through boards, shooting new and classic enemies. Honestly this is shaping up to be the best Mega Man game in years. Don’t believe me? Give it a shot yourself. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Daredevil season 3 teaser

Daredevil, season 1 blew my mind. What I saw between Daredevil and Punisher of season 2 was perfectly done; the staircase fight scene maybe one of the best fight scenes I’ve ever seen given towards a superhero story. Sadly because of personal reasons I wasn’t able to finish season 2 and I haven’t seen Defenders but I’m surprised to see his original costume back. I love his monologue in this teaser. I’m hoping Kingpin returns and the rumors of Bullseye coming this season are true. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms trailer

Why Disney, why? Why the hell did the Nutcracker need another dark retelling? Ok, better question, why the hell does the Nutcracker- a ballet- need a movie to begin with? Something like Fantasia where you play the music to a cartoon, no voices just the music, I think that would be awesome but not another Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland clone (by the way I actually liked the movie). Visually it looks nice but you know damn well it’s CGI but I can’t thinking of Alice. Even the lead actress’s dress reminds me of classic Alice. I’d watch it but I’m not expecting much. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Anna and the Apocalypse trailer

A little known fact about me is I have a weird taste for musicals; I love WTF musicals however, not really the traditional kind. Anyone who saw Repo the Genetic Opera will get what I mean. Anyway, so a zombie Christmas musical and already I’m invested.I’ll be happy if it makes me ask WTF and gives me a new song to sing in my travels. I’m looking forward to it, may the gaming gods bring you glory.
