For those unfamiliar with the Crusader kings franchise from Paradox, they are almost like Game of Thrones. You take control of a real-world country, get married have kids, make decisions as to what you build or whom to go to war with. Do you want to imprison your wife and kill your nephew to make sure your daughter and her husband get the throne when you die? Feel free. Want to unite Ireland and become the high king? Do it. Turn the world into a Muslim world in retaliation for the crusades? That is on you, the only thing stopping you is, well the rest of the world and your skills. The thing is the history of the world is no longer set in stone, and there isn’t much stopping you from manipulating things or marrying your sister. Check out the trailer below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Day 24, ManBearPig
Ok, now I know we like to have a lot of fun on this blog, but this time I’m totally cereal, ManBearPig is out there. YES! I know, it frightens me too. The unfathomable scourge of the world we inhabit is half man, half pig…or maybe half man, half bear-pig? It’s too frightening to comprehend. Thankfully we have a fearless savior against the diabolical machinations of ManBearPig, but remain cautious everyone this Halloween…I’m super cereal.
Flip Dunk (Mobile)
Not all mobile games are created equal. Some are fun, others are ok to kill some time and others are just complete garbage and aren’t worth downloading. This one is not worth downloading. You basically tap the button to jump, hold the screen to spin and let go to bounce on trampolines or go down slides and try to get enough spins before you dunk the ball. It sounds like it could be fun, but honestly, it is not. At all.
It isn’t hard, it just isn’t fun. The fact that every two or three levels/ attempts results in an ad make it even worse since each attempt takes about three seconds. This is one game you just should never bother with, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Day 23, Homunculus
Fullmetal Alchemist is one of my favorite animes of all time. These creatures are immortal, nearly indestructible beings created by breaking one of alchemy’s greatest rules: using alchemy to try reviving the dead; or they are the soulless product of the original Homunculus Father if you prefer Brotherhood. Each, named after a sin, has incredible powers ranging from Greed’s unbreakable armor to Envy’s shape-shifting abilities to Lust’s sharp, extendable claws. In Brotherhood, Father is close to god- like, able to use nearly unlimited alchemic power.I love there tragic backgrounds and how, despite there powers, all they mostly want is to have a soul. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
The Bounty Hunter
I am actually a pretty big fan of Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, so them being in the same movie is pretty great to me. The story itself is pretty cool in theory. Milo (Butler) is a bounty hunter that chases down criminals that jump bail. Nicole is a reporter that has a court date for assaulting a cop that she skips out on. Happily, for Milo he is the one sent to bring her in.
In between his life of drinking and passing out Milo tracks Nicole down to a race track, where it catches Nicole and tosses her in the trunk of his car. Pretty easily done until she lights the road flare in his trunk and starts a small fire.
As the movie goes on we discover that Nicole is onto more than just a basic story and the two will, of course, start to fall back in love. It is a romantic comedy after all, and the two have amazing chemistry as costars but I never really bought them as an actual couple. The movie, however, does have some serious flaws beyond that. The parts that are funny are great, but the downtime can be boring as hell at times. I did enjoy the movie, and fans of either actor or romantic comedies will probably enjoy it but realistically it simply isn’t a very good movie and is at best average. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Friends (Series)
So recently I decided to binge-watch friends, the whole series. I watched it years ago like most other people my age but I wanted to see it again with fresh eyes and I did learn a few things. For starters. Joey is truly the best guy in the show tho he really is an idiot. Chandler may be the best friend you could possibly have and Ross, well Ross should probably be punched in the face. Seriously, dude, we get it your wife turned out to be a lesbian. Sure you can be upset but like 6 years later its time to move on.
The show, however, is funnier than people give it credit for and I really don’t understand why so many people feel the need to bash it. The show had great character growth in the show and while it rarely covered serious topics when it did they did it well. Realistically the show was never meant to be that way tho, it was mostly just there for a laugh, and it ended up it needed to end. Ross and Rachel always needed to end together, Pheobe needed to end with someone, not on the show the entire time and Monica and Chandler deserved their happily ever after.
Many people, however, will point to Joey and say how he kind of got screwed, but forget his show was planned as friends was ending. He couldn’t have a really happy or definitive ending because he was getting his own show which sadly ended rather abruptly, many of its episodes actually never even aired.
The show itself, however, was simply good for a laugh and was never meant to be overly realistic and that is why it was enjoyable. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Day 22, The Nemesis
In all the years of Resident Evil history, there is one monster that brought the fear and chills than Resident Evil 3’s Nemesis. Nemesis is the ultimate Tyrant tasked with eliminating the S.T.A.R.S members in Raccoon City to contain secret of Umbrella’s involvement. Characterized by his tall, brutish physique, long black coat, and rocket launcher, the Nemesis is a damn near unstoppable foe that only grows stronger after phase of its mutation. Nemesis is the king of every 90’s horror fans nightmares. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
