Movie review: Hell fest (2018) Netflix — Once Upon The Wytching Hour

Hell Fest (2018) features Bex Taylor-Klaus from the series Scream, which swayed me towards watching it because I enjoyed her character in Scream (unfortunately I found her really irritating in this) and also because it was Halloweeny and I want to get into the Halloween mood (maybe prematurely but who cares). The premise is 3 […]

Pokemon snap

So the other day, walking down memory lane, I covered Hey You Pikachu and decided today why not cover an unusual Pokemon game that actually works. Again, much like Hey You Pikachu, this game was a cool concept: go on expeditions through various locales taking pictures of the native Pokemon that inhabit the region. It was a cool concept done surprisingly well. The camera was fluid and the expeditions were pretty fun; I remember a volcanic area full of fire Pokemon which were some of my favorites at the time. An unexpected bonus was how much fun it was playing with a friend, seeing who could photo bomb more Pokemon and who could get the cooler shots. Violet and I had a ton of fun doing this as kids. I feel if replicated today, the modern game market would abuse the hell out of this game, adding who knows how many DLC packages and micro transactions which makes me sad a bit. In the end, it’s a simple, wholesome game I recommend for Pokemon fans or families with younger kids. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Terminator: Resistance trailer 1

I’ll be the first to admit, Terminator should have ended with Judgement Day. This game I have to say looks freaking amazing as far as what I’d want for a game. I love that it feels like the war scenes in the classic two movies. I’d say the game looks worth keeping a look out for. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Cooking up a Stormcloak — Later Levels

Regular Later Levels visitors will probably be aware of my on-off obsession with The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). Since being introduced to the game during Christmas 2015, I’ve had regular bouts of playing it non-stop before calling it quits for several months – only to go back to the MMORPG a short time later. My […]

Hey You Pikachu

I can’t lie, until randomly at my job that isn’t the blog, I forgot this game pretty much existed. Once I recalled it, I had to think to a time way back to when there were only 151 Pokemon and Pokemon: The First Movie was THE movie in my school and news of Pokemon 2000 was the equivalent of Star Wars hype. But, I digress… Hey You Pikachu was a game for the Nintendo 64 with a lot of ambition. Requiring a special microphone attachment for the N64 controller, you talked to Pikachu and had him to command and essentially lived your own little Pokemon fantasy. As far as I’m aware of, there was no battling, so there goes a huge chunk of that fantasy. I have to be 100% honest, I’ve never seen this game in person actually really work. Talking to Pikachu became ultra frustrating super quickly because the controller itself was nearly useless and the entire game was trying to talk. When you’d get Pikachu to follow your instructions it was so cool, but then enjoy the 15-20 minutes it took for his next command to register. I’ve seen people pitch hissy fits and whip there controllers over this game. Simply put. I can’t recommend this game to anyone. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

The One without Jason — Master Mix Movies

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning is a complete waste of time. At the end of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Jason Voorhees was killed by Tommy Jarvis. They clearly never intended it to be the last one since Friday the 13th: A New Beginning came out just one year after that movie. Despite […]

An Ode to Old Action Flicks — The Mechromancer

I tried really hard to come up with an ode but they’re actually much harder to write than what I was expecting. I’m no Chris Martin unfortunately. Just gonna write a conventional post about the topic I guess. Still sticking with the original title though! Okay, let’s go back to when I was seven years […]

Black Christmas 2019 trailer 1

When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke. It’s no joke. I’m honestly wondering if this movie isn’t even a remake of the classic. There’s nothing that really feels like the classic. Overall it looks like a typical holiday slasher movie that I ain’t too pumped for. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
