Saturday and Sunday E3 Takeaways Going with just my quick hot takes of E3 this year. Below are my first impressions of E3 for Saturday and Sunday. EA Play EA was up on Saturday. When all it was said and done, I do not believe they had a good conference. The highlight was Star Wars […]

A huge complaint I hear from many a nerd about comic books is the age old question: where to begin? With multiple story arcs, renditions, and multiverses it becomes pretty hard for new fans to pick up. I admit, I wasn’t a fan of the Guardians, let alone knew who the hell they were until I read this, a year before Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)came out in theaters. My world was rocked…
The book starts with a quick origin of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord and how his mother was assassinated by aliens that were hunting him down because of his absent, royal father J-son. Years later, Quill has grown to be a hero, scoundrel, and leader of the famous and infamous Guardians of the Galaxy. One day while trying to get in a alien babe’s pants, his father approaches him after years of fighting against him with a warning- stay away from Earth. J-son, along with a secret galactic coalition consisting of the All-mother of Asgard, the Brood, The Badoon, and the Gladiator who all deem the heroes and mutants of Earth have become a threat to the universe at large and have quarantined the planet. The Guardians jump in to piss off there old foe, but do there plans ever go as planned, even when helped by the one and only invincible Iron Man?
For newcomers to comics in general, I can definitely recommend this book. It’s a great introduction to Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot as well as cool cameo by Iron Man. The characters are fun and there are some cool big scale fights. I like the contrast of Quills and J-son is a fair villain to start. It’s the first volume of a great run, part of which is Guardians of the Galaxy/ All New X Men: The Trial of Jean Grey which is partially why I’m reviewing it now with Dark Phoenix in theaters but I do recommend it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Starring Maisie Williams and Asa Butterfield Then Came You tells the story of a boy, Calvin, who is afraid to die and Skye who is actually dying. Calvin lost a twin sister when he was about eight years old and has pretty much been a hypochondriac ever since. He has an entire journal of symptoms.
Skye actually has terminal cancer, and before you watch this movie expecting a happy ending, there isn’t one for our young friend Skye. This is exactly as advertised advertised and there are no miracles.
The movie will cover their friendship from how and when they meet, to their love lives and quest to do everything they want before they die. Some of them are simply mundane like get a job, followed by get fired. Others are a bit more deep or in depth.
The movie however, and I don’t say this lightly, is one of the most heart wrenching movies I have ever seen. The ending alone while amazing and worth watching the movie for is also one of the saddest things I have ever seen. I won’t get into to many details, but the movie is great, and one of the best I have seen in 2019. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
While I wasn’t a huge fan of House of 1000 Corpses , I am a huge fan of The Devil’s Rejects but when news came of a 3rd I scratched my head. I love the end to Rejects and was surprisingly emotionally invested but why the same characters are back in a #rd is beyond me. The trailer doesn’t give much but it’s something and since it’s Zombie, it’s sure to be a disturbing foul mouthed gorefest. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Another reveal from yesterdays Microsoft E3 presentation is Age of Empires 2, definitive edition. Remastered with improved audio and now in 4k and is coming to Xbox along with a new campaign, The Last Khans. Check it out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Admittedly Tree of Might was my intro to the DBZ movies and it’s a fair place to start. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of Dragonball Z: The Dead Zone and Dragonball Z: The World’s Strongest , these were the early years of DBZ.
Much like the story of Dragonball Z ( The Saiyan Saga) , a band of aliens come to Earth, only this time pirates. Gohan and Krillin save a young dragon from a massive forest fire and they set off to find the Dragonballs to undo the fire. Meanwhile a band of space pirates sets down, led by Turles, who plans on destroying the world to grow the Tree of Might. The fruit from the tree grants incredible tree, but the tree itself feeds off of the world it’s planted on until it dies. The Z fighters face the pirates but are no match for Turles, who looks exactly like Goku. Can Goku beat his doppelganger and save the world?
Of the original 3 movies, I’d say Tree is the best. You get to see all the Z fighters in action which is pretty cool. The fight against Turles has some decently brutal moments and the story is pretty solid. If you are a fan of the series, I’d definitely check it out and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
12 Minutes is an interactive thriller from Gamer’s Little Playground revealed at the Microsoft E3 event last night and shows a man stuck in a sort of time loop. It looks rather interesting, check it out below and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
E3 of 2019 has begun and EA set the stage. We got our first real gameplay demo of the upcoming Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. If this was coming from any other publisher I’d be excited as hell. The game looks beautiful, the combat looks awesome and the force powers look fun but I’m weary as hell. I want this game to succeed. I want an epic Star Wars game; it’s been about a decade since the first Force Unleashed game and we are long overdue. At best I’m cautiously optimistic to say the least. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Even though Joker from Persona 5 appeared as a freagin’ DLC character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the Switch. Even though Persona 5 Scramble is releasing on the Nintendo Switch, Atlus has remained consistent that the main Persona 5 game would remain exclusive to the PlayStation family of consoles. Now Atlus has reminded Fans…
via Atlus Doubles Down on PS4 Exclusivity for Persona 5 Royal — All The PlayStation You’ll Ever Need.
A rather odd choice I think to leave it only on PS4 while having your main character be a DLC character on another console.
As promised I had some news on our friends over at Letterkenny, and here it is. As reported by deadline Letterkenny will become a Hulu original on October 14th for its 7th Season which will consist of 6 episodes and while details are scarce it seems our hick friends will be starting some sort of agricultural call-in show. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
