Put On Your 3D Glasses — Master Mix Movies

Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over was a serious strain on people’s eyes. Its always been Robert Rodriguez goal to bring back old fashion method’s of filmmaking. So he figured he’d make the third Spy Kids movie using obnoxious 3D. Something my dad had to suffer through when he took us to see it. I wasn’t […]

NHL 20 Open Beta

For those that may have missed it, the NHL 20 Open beta was this past weekend. It gave us a chance to check out the CHEL mode as well as the new NHL Ones mode. CHEL mode is still CHEL tho it has been improved. Fans of that won’t be disappointed. Threes has also made its return which made me happy. Ones tho is pretty cool, tho the name is a bit misleading. Threes is a 3v3 game so a person would thing ones is a 1v1 game.  It is not, but that is a good thing.

Ones may be my favorite addition to the game because it forces you to become good at puck handling and taking advantage of your opponents’ mistakes. See you will pick one NHL star, and face off against two others in a 1v1v1 game. that’s right it’s a three-man free for all. The graphics and sound are also top notch as you would expect. All in all, if you are a hockey fan this open beta convinced me to say this one is worth buying even if you picked up NHL19 assuming you aren’t just a casual fan that plays a game here or there. If you happen to have an older version like 17 tho, now is certainly the time to get this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Disney+ can be an Add on for Hulu

While the exact price for this hasn’t been announced yetGamesradar has reported that Hulus SVP has stated you will be able to get Hulu and Disney+  ( tho Disney plus will cost 6.99 a month or 69.99a year on its own) as a package deal. I would assume it will cost around $10 a month as a package but that is just speculation on my part so take that with a huge grain of salt. Regardless, I am sure it will be a pretty fair deal. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Resident Evil: Extinction

re extinction

So in Resident Evil (movie 2002) the T Virus broke out; in Resident Evil: Apocalypse the T Virus escaped and infected Raccoon City, ending in the Umbrella Corporation nuking the city to stop the infection. And in Extinction the T Virus has gone world wide; the desert took over Vegas and survivors are few. Alice, her powers brought on by the T Virus, is moving through the desert trying to flee Umbrella. Olivera and LJ have joined a caravan of survivors led by Claire Redfield who are running out of supplies. Alice discovers a diary telling of a possible freedom and civilization where allegedly the virus hasn’t spread. Alice joins the caravan as they storm a a Umbrella outpost, where they failed to cure the zombie outbreak, instead only making them smarter. A desperate scientist has also discovered a new formula that has horrid results. Can the survivors make it out of a seemingly dead world?

As far out- there this series became, Extinction is a surprisingly decent sequel. It does have some good, creepy atmosphere and a decent score. The action series range from pretty cool to over the top, but the over the top stuff is more fits better. The story is surprisingly solid and there are some pretty fair performances in it. Giving Alice psychic powers was pretty stupid but it hurt a bit inside seeing a dude who’s a mix of Birkin and the classic Tyrant having psychic powers. The effects are serviceable but not great. As I said previously, if you watch it as a sci-fi movie, it isn’t bad but skip it if you are a purist fan of the series. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Dream Hospital (Mobile)

Dream hospital quickly went from a game a started out enjoying and quickly became highly disappointed in. While the sound and graphics are nice it became quickly apparent there wasn’t enough room to really build most of what you needed and getting the money together to build it was either an insane grind or would require real money. While we all play mobile games knowing this is the game plan because honestly how else will they make money, some games do take this way to far and this is one of those games.

Now the game is admittedly enjoyable, seeing all the people come and go, building rooms, equipping doctors and rooms while leveling up to find cures and new illnesses can be a blast. The added bonus of being able to create items to help cure things is also pretty awesome in itself. It just isn’t really worth the headache of having to grind just to hire a doctor after grinding to build a room. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Pillars of Eternity Coming to Switch August

The title says it all. The Obsidian Entertainment Pillars of  Eternity that has already been ported to every other current-gen system will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, with all of its DLC and expansions. It is also worth noting its follow up, Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire is also heading to the Switch. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith and the fight for Sanctuary

borderlands lilith

It’s certainly been a minute since Borderlands 2 debuted and until a few months ago, Borderlands 3 was nothing but a gamer’s wish. To help us get in the mood for 3, Gearbox released a new DLC for 2 that serves as an epilogue as well as a prelude.

Our heroes are in a sad place after losing Roland and Scooter as well as the fate of Sanctuary hanging in the air. No one seems to have the heart to take Roland’s place as the flying city’s head. Suddenly a new foe named Hector invades, spreading a deadly plant based infection throughout Sanctuary, turning it’s citizens as well as a host of raiders into monstrosities. Can the Vault Hunter save a friend and save there home from this new threat?

Like the DLCs that accompany the series, Commander Lilith’s is well worth the play. The story keeps what’s awesome about the series, having a funny but heart felt story and awesome gameplay with new enemies  and humongous bosses. What I enjoy is now there is an option to start a new character at level 30, giving you a new opportunity to experiment with classes and skill trees you would have had to play through over 10 hours of gameplay for. If you love the series, definitely give it a play through. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Zombieland Double Tap

Ten years after the original we finally get the sequel so many people were begging for. The trailer is here and it does seem to look pretty great. It is a bit off to see our favorite Zombie Apocolypse child all grown up, but seeing Woody Harrelson behind the big desk in the oval office was worth it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

My 5 Wives (2001)

My 5 Wives is a 2001 comedy starring the late and great Rodney Dangerfield. The plot of the story is simple, in Nevada, there is a community where polygamy is still allowed. This is having multiple wives. (Yes this is a real thing) A friend of his tells him about some and up for auction that would be great for a ski resort. Being the super-rich businessman that he is going through his third divorce he goes to check it out and drops a few bucks to buy it. It isn’t until after he learns he must join the church in order to buy the land. With this comes the three wives of the former owner.

So while his sex life gets kicked up to a level he has never before experienced he donates money to the community, starts making plans for the ski lodge and runs into trouble with the local bank manager that wanted the land for himself. This bank manager will stop at nothing to get him excommunicated so he can have the land for himself. Not long into the movie, Rodney will marry one of his wife’s sister and her friend after their husband dies. They need a place to stay and this is the only way to make it happen.

While all this sounds like the male fantasy, and at the start is portrayed as such we quickly see why there are drawbacks and the ladies quickly see there are other ways to live their lives. While a comedy and a decently funny one if you are a fan of Rodney Dangerfields unique style the movie does a decent job of telling an actual story and by the end of the movie the ladies come into their own fairly well. The movie wasn’t a huge hit with critics and truthfully I can see why. This is one of those like it or hate it movies, and I can’t imagine anyone loving it. I enjoyed it for what it was but I am a fan of Mr. Dangerfield. If you aren’t however you may be better of skipping this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
