Minnesota’s Emerging Writers: An Anthology of Nonfiction — The Past Due Review

I have some very exciting news to share today (hence the special, second Monday post); last month, I had a piece accepted to be included in the upcoming book, Minnesota’s Emerging Authors: An Anthology of Nonfiction! The book will be available to buy through Amazon and Z Publishing’s website on August 21st, but you can […]

A long time friend of Savior Gaming has some exciting news, so please go show him some love and check it out.

Riverdale season 3 trailer

So who would have thought the trailer that made me stop and say WTF would be a live action Archie trailer? Seriously, I read Archie Vs Predator and I thought that was a weird ass story, but as this trailer goes on I kept wondering how weird it was going to get. Amazingly, I want to give the show a shot now. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Arrow season 7 trailer

I have to say I’m weirdly impressed Arrow has gotten so far. I briefly covered the first 3 seasons I’ve seen in Arrow (summary review) I’ve been meaning to catch up but I just haven’t gotten around to it. I like the darker tone and I’m curious how Oliver Queen landed himself in jail. It was a good trailer; may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Fantastic Beasts 2 trailer

So here we get to a weird place for me. I loved the Harry Potter movies but never saw Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them . Learning this was a grand prequel, I became invested. From what I’m gathering, this next installment follows the building darkness surrounding Grindenwald, the greatest dark wizard before Voldemort would come. I’m kinda curious how this series will play out and I do want to see them. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters trailer 1

We finally got a trailer to the long anticipated sequel to 2014’s Godzilla and the 3rd entry in Legendary’s Monster-verse. This time with Godzilla, we are getting the debut of fan favorites Mothra, Rhodan, and King Ghihdorha. First, not being a huge fan of the old films but liking the previous film, this film looks to be cranking up the scale and majesty. I can tell this definitely going to be a theater film; in theater it’s going to be mind blowing for sure. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Shazam trailer 1

If you caught my post of 5 great stories from DC new 52 , you’d notice volume 1 of Shazam there. So far from the trailer, it’s almost shot for shot from the book which is freaking awesome. I’m going to say Shazam is the most surprising trailer I’ve seen at SDCC so far. It’s funny, light hearted and looks like a fun time and I’m invested so far. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Aquaman trailer 1

The trailer I’ve been heavily anticipating for a long time has arrived and I’m glad to say it looks amazing. The blend of sci-fi and fantasy I love in the comics is prevalent. We got a sweet look at Ocean Master and Black Manta, and I’m glad to say they look awesome. Jason Mamoa’s personality makes the character pop and makes me really excited for it. The only grip I have, the CGI at the Aquarium scene looks a bit meh, but can be buffed out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

DragonBall Super movie: Broly trailer

Broly: the Legendary Super Saiyan, one of DBZ’s most terrifying villains that wasn’t even canon, until now. The old story of Broly is being retold in the new movie for DragonBall Super with a new origin and all. I see a light and a dark to this. The positive, we get to see Broly square off against the awesomeness of Super Saiyan God and such; also, I always wanted to watch Broly and  Frieza fight, which we get. The negative- it’s Broly, not an unknown Saiyan, not some new character. He may look different, his story maybe different, but at the end of the day, fans are excited for the Broly we knew. I hope he’s not a totally new character in a skin. In the end, I want to see the movie but I’m cautiously optimistic. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Marvel Spider-man SDCC trailer

If you love Marvel, chances are you love Spider-man and if you’re a fan, you know he always hasn’t had the best games. But, I think this trailer and others we’ve gotten make me rest easier on the matter. First, I love the character designs and roster we know so far. I’m assuming we may be able to expect Goblin as our final boss if that’s Peter talking with Norman Osborn. I like MJ and Miles play a heavy role in the game. As far as story, it seems solid and the graphics are beautiful. I’m pretty excited and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
