5 of my favorite monsters (Torsten edition)

I gotta give my partner and big brother Savior credit, he did a countdown of his favorite monsters that was pretty cool. So I thought I’d take a jump into the fray and talk about some of my favorites as well. In  no particular order, though if you followed my work so far you may know I got a undying love for 1 in particular, so let’s begin with them.

alien c1 1 Xenomorph (Alien)- what can I say except that no creature in my mind represents beauty and dread like the creature ripped from Giger’s nightmarish design, the perfect organism.

werewolf 2. Werewolf- tragic beasts that are man by day and monsters by night. My attraction to these creatures is that it is totally beyond there control; they are as much victims as those they slaughter. Also, they look epic and weren’t they a bitchin part of Skyrim?

necromorph 3. Necromorph (Dead Space trilogy)- how do we make zombies scary again? Mix them with the sporadic nature of Carpenter’s Thing and put the bastards in space. Always in various fucked up forms, Necromorphs are a flexible zombie alternative to haunt your dreams.

nemesis 4. Nemesis (Resident Evil 3)- speaking of zombie alternatives, how about a zombie on steroids in a trench coat with long tentacles, a rocket launcher, and a screw you attitude. Also I forgot to mention, he doesn’t go down at all. Almost nothing stops this behemoth.

Frankenstein 5. Frankenstein’s monster- a classic, tragic beast constructed from the dead body parts stolen by a young man curious about life and death. The monster has been brought to life many times but I can’t help but be fascinated by the idea and he is pretty epic in the book, a Karloff was amazing.

 

Blade Runner 2049 Movie Review

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…

5 games people love, but I don’t

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.

Professor Marston And The Wonder Woman

Three’s a party. Professor William Marston (Luke Evans) and his wife, Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), live a relatively happy and carefree life together. He’s a professor at Harvard and she desperately wants to be, but because this is the 1920’s and she’s a woman, for some reason, that’s not allowed to happen. Anyway, the two have […]
