The day has arrived at last, our first trailer for Avengers: Endgame has come. Thanos has won and what few Avengers remain are lost and desolate. The feel of the trailer is a perfect follow up to the end of Avengers: Infinity War . I was glad to see Hawkeye return as well as Antman’s funny bit at the end. I wish they showed a little bit more but the feeling of defeat and loneliness was perfect. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Men in Black International
As many of you know there is a Men in Black spinoff (or maybe reboot?) coming soon. The story and details are being kept closely guarded but it has an official title at long last, Men in Black International. ScreenRant has more of the details. Personally and quite possibly because of my age, I feel it is a little too soon for this and is entirely not needed. Sadly I am just one man with a blog. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Ultimate Fantastic 4: N- Zone
Originally my plan was to cover volumes 3 and 4 together but the next volume is literally like 3 stories in one where as volume 3 is one solid story. Also to avoid a recap, check out my review on Ultimate Fantastic 4: Fantastic / Doom but essentially we’re wrapping up there primary origin as the 4 embark into the N- Zone, where it’s believed they got there powers.
After facing the nefarious Mole Man and Dr Doom, Reed Richards ( Mr Fantastic) discovers a means to travel to the Negative Zone, the place who’s mere exposure caused there mutations and Doom’s deformation. It takes some talking with the volatile General Ross but Reed gets clearance to venture unto the breach with there custom shuttle, the Awesome. The N Zone is a dying universe, cold and near lifeless. The rules of physics are nearly null and void. The environment has a nasty, almost lethal effect on Johnny and his powers but they can’t go back without answers or empty handed. They come across a mangled space station inhabited by the starving dwellers of the universe, overseen by Nihilus, a eerie fly like creature who is desperate and wants a way out by any means necessary. Can the Four overcome this new threat with a man down and escape this dying hell?
This is a solid book but there is some drawbacks. There are some strong character moments between Sue and Johnny as brother and sister and I like seeing the conflict in Reed stemming from his ambition. Nihilus does have a creepy vibe to him his motives are sympathetic. A problem that kills the story for me is the fact he’s honestly a wimp. One punch from Thing basically takes him out, and once they return to our dimension Johnny pretty much roasts his damn posse in 30 seconds. I felt like the pacing was off and the beginning was a little too long and the end game was too quick and there were a few times there could have been some sweet action scenes. In the end its a good solid story I think many would enjoy. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Unreal Tournament and an Unreal Wait
Sadly, as reported by Variety Unreal Tournament while not dead isn’t being actively worked on or developed and hasn’t received an update since 2017. The cause is understandable considering they are using those people and resources to produce Fortnight which is a cash cow for Epic Games but many fans are quite obviously feeling betrayed and let down. Unreal Tournament has had a large and loyally following for decades and is now being tossed aside.
That being said, how can anyone be surprised? Love it or hate it Fortnight has become bigger than anyone has ever dreamed and has struck a cord even outside of gaming itself with many rappers and athletes joining streams to play it, so how could they not focus on it? This understanding, however, doesn’t make it any less frustrating for many sadly. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory,
The Shivering Truth trailer
There are times I say weird shit on YouTube. Right off the bat, the clay-mated figures caught my eye. Why I decided to share this is for the simple fact I truly don’t know what I was seeing. I was getting a heavy Twin Peaks meets Jacobs Ladder vibe. I can’t say I’m expecting this to be a comedy but I can say it strangely caught my interest. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Elite Dangerous Beyond Chapter 4: Release Date
After a long wait, Beyond, Chapter 4 finally has a release date. December 11th to be exact, as reported by Eurogamer. As many of you are aware I have a long history with this game and have spent many hours simply exploring. This update most likely will bring that back. Hope to see you out there, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Captain Marvel trailer 2
After Captain Marvel trailer 1 I was pretty excited but I have to say now I’m pumped up ten fold. Seeing her red and blue costume in full, kicking ass in space was pretty damn sweet. We finally get to see the Skrull which look better than I thought they would. It’s good to have Sam Jackson back in the MCU once again. With the Avengers 4 trailer coming soon, the timing was perfect and the hype was real. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, despite its odd name, is a beautiful side-scrolling action RPG. You start the game controlling the Valkyrie, Gwendolyn. After receiving the spear of her dead sister after she died in battle. Her story is one of love and betrayal, tho not necessarily in that order.
The battle system itself is fast and easy to control, it mostly takes place off a few buttons but it is fluid and amazing to watch. You can mix potions and items for new and more powerful spells.
I do have a few complaints. For example, much of the game is very repetitive, and the normal difficulty mostly is not difficult at all. The main way of gathering experience is by eating food, which is a bit weird to me. It works however so realistically speaking it isn’t bad, just odd for me to rely on eating food. You do get experience from enemies but not much so you rely on gathering ingredients and gold to eat.
Aside from all that, the story is the real selling point here and it is magnificent. This is one of those games RPG fans really need to check out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Nautical Life (Mobile)
Nautical Life on Mobile is a cute game about buying a yacht, traveling the world and fishing. The graphics are nice, furnishing your ship is fun and gathering a fleet of fishing vessels to gather riches is kinda neat. There are some major flaws here, mainly in the fishing itself. The process itself isn’t bad, but from the very start you run into fish you would need to be very lucky to catch. The money you receive to buy a new rod is also slow to gather and can be frustrating. You, of course, can use premium currency to get an edge in this offline game, but really with so many games to choose from this one simply isn’t worth paying money into. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Blizzard Publically States New Diablo Products to be Revealed in 2019
Variety has reported that Blizzard has posted in their official forums that in 2019 they will reveal new Diablo products, tho they would rather show than tell and as such are waiting until things are a bit further along than they currently are. This seems pretty normal but many people feel it is nothing more than a PR stunt over the anger over Diablo Immortal that has many fans upset. Personally, I am interested in trying it, but we will see what the future brings. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
