The trailer I’ve been heavily anticipating for a long time has arrived and I’m glad to say it looks amazing. The blend of sci-fi and fantasy I love in the comics is prevalent. We got a sweet look at Ocean Master and Black Manta, and I’m glad to say they look awesome. Jason Mamoa’s personality makes the character pop and makes me really excited for it. The only grip I have, the CGI at the Aquarium scene looks a bit meh, but can be buffed out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Stephen King’s Thinner is based on the novel by the same name and is the last novel released under King’s the pseudonym Richard Bachman. Released in 1996 by Paramount Pictures.
Stephen King’s Thinner is based on the novel by the same name and is the last novel released under King’s the pseudonym Richard Bachman. The story is about an over weight lawyer named Billy Halleck. Billy is what you would call less than honest.
After winning his most recent case and discovering his diet still isn’t really working he goes out to celebrate with his wife. On the ride home he is enjoying some extra driving activities with his wife and runs over an elderly gypsy lady and kills her. There of course is an investigation to determine if there is any wrong doing and the investigation is a complete sham. The investigator lies about having even done a breathalyzer test. Billy wasn’t drunk, but he still lied in court. The judge also pressures people into lying about the old woman running out of a store instead of walking.
After Billy is found to have done nothing wrong in the disgrace of a trial the husband and daughter decide to take justice into their own hands by setting a gypsy curse on Billy. This curse will make him lose weight. This doesn’t sound bad, except for the fact that he will lose weight until he dies.
At first Billy and his wife doesn’t seem to realize that anything is even wrong. Then they think maybe it is a sign of cancer. Billy is the first however to think maybe something is wrong when he notices the judge also has a skin issue and coincidentally right where the old gypsy man touched him as well. Of course he will see multiple doctors and end up at the mayo clinic, because who would believe gypsy curses are real? I mean would you think this dude could curse you?
Seriously nobody would think this guy is going to be serious. It isn’t more than a few weeks tho before our 300 pound friend however is down to about 150 despite eating thousands of calories a day of whatever the hell he wants.
The movie itself is interesting but suffers from the same issue pretty much every King book adaptation does, you will see most reviews come down to “The book was better.” Honestly this may be true, I personally haven’t read the book. The movie itself was fun and had an interesting concept. It also played pretty much every stereotype on every person in the movie. The lawyer had no morals, the cop and judge were dirty, the gypsies were basically magical nomads that lived a long time and seemed to have no morals and are hated by everyone. Pretty standard stuff. I did enjoy the movie and the ending tho, and would happily watch the movie again. It was never scary or really all that funny, it was just interesting. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Broly: the Legendary Super Saiyan, one of DBZ’s most terrifying villains that wasn’t even canon, until now. The old story of Broly is being retold in the new movie for DragonBall Super with a new origin and all. I see a light and a dark to this. The positive, we get to see Broly square off against the awesomeness of Super Saiyan God and such; also, I always wanted to watch Broly and Frieza fight, which we get. The negative- it’s Broly, not an unknown Saiyan, not some new character. He may look different, his story maybe different, but at the end of the day, fans are excited for the Broly we knew. I hope he’s not a totally new character in a skin. In the end, I want to see the movie but I’m cautiously optimistic. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Pokemon Quest is a free Mobile and Nintendo switch game from Game freak released in 2018.
Pokemon Quest is a cute little game for Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS. I decided to check out the Mobile version on Android since its free and admittedly I don’t have access to a Switch or iOS device. I am curious if there are any differences between the Switch and Mobile versions so someday I hope to find that out, if I ever do I will be writing another one of these.
The game is quite simplistic, you go to an island to discover treasure and befriend a pokemon for help. You will choose from one of the three original starters of Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur. There are also 2 additional choices of Evvee and Pikachu. There is a small twist tho, they are all little block creatures.
The game is mostly just your pokemon walking around on their own, they also attack on their own but you choose their special attacks. The game is quite intuitive on its own. I never had an issue with them getting stuck or anything like that.
The biggest issue I had with the game was the cooking mechanic. You need to go thru 4 or 5 levels until its done cooking, then you get a pokemon based off what you cooked. While this is interesting it can take a while to get the pokemon you need for where you happen to be. It’s not a deal breaker it can just be pretty annoying at times, tho there are enough guides online to make it less time-consuming. It is also worth noting you can play the game without spending any real money, tho as always it will make your life much easier.
At the end of the day tho you have to ask yourself what you want from a game. Pokemon Quest is basically a cute time sink for the more dedicated pokemon fans. I think your more average fans won’t really put enough time into this to collect the pokemon or the equip items to get far enough to enjoy it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
If you love Marvel, chances are you love Spider-man and if you’re a fan, you know he always hasn’t had the best games. But, I think this trailer and others we’ve gotten make me rest easier on the matter. First, I love the character designs and roster we know so far. I’m assuming we may be able to expect Goblin as our final boss if that’s Peter talking with Norman Osborn. I like MJ and Miles play a heavy role in the game. As far as story, it seems solid and the graphics are beautiful. I’m pretty excited and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Amateur Night is the story of Guy Carter, loving husband that is unemployed that needs some money to keep the health insurance going just long enough for his wife to have the baby. So when his wife convinces this out of work architect to take a job as a delivery guy why what could possibly go wrong?
Guy Carter doesn’t know karate or carry a weapon, which is kind of unfortunate since he is delivering women. Yup, that is right, Guy is essentially delivering hookers. At first just Nikki to a mans house that turns out to be a doctor with some rather interesting taste in head ware and rope. When Guy thinks Nikki is being attacked he causes doc to hit his head. This leads to an explanation on bondage.
After this they are off to pick up two more women ,Fallon and Jaxi. As all this goes on of course guy is freaking out more and more about becoming a father, but discovers if tonight goes well he could walk away with a cool 2 grand. More than enough to keep the insurance.
As the movie goes on there will be a bachelor party plenty of dancing and implied sexual things. None of which is actually showed so don’t go getting too excited. It actually isn’t even all that important besides to explain what they do for a living.
The movie is fun but quite predictable. There will be the usual tropes of the ladies being more than what they are, one being rich and great with money and them all being friends. Guy will learn he in fact has what it takes to be a great dad with a few random surprises as well. Predictable isn’t always bad tho. While the movie won’t show you anything new or special, it is fun and entertaining and that is really all you need. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
So, this may sound weird as hell to a lot of people, but Glass is one of my most anticipated films of 2019. Let me start by saying I’m not a expert on Shyamalan’s work. I know Last Airbender sucked and I’m sorry but I wasn’t into the Sixth Sense or Signs. I never saw Unbreakable but I loved Split . Glass is a sequel to both, the third in the trilogy. I may not like much of work, but I do have a lot of respect for Shyamalan and how he tries to tell different kind of stories. Glass is no exception. I think its a damn good trailer for a different kind of superhero movie. I love the actors involved; James McAvoy has some creepy moments already and the premise is cool. I seriously can’t wait, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Two Point Hospital now has a launch date of August 30th 2018. This spiritual successor of Theme Hospital has been much anticipated since its announcement and according to PC Gamer we don’t have much longer to wait. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Just Before I Go is a comedy, but it’s actually a pretty dark comedy in a way. The movie starts with a man underwater.
This is Ted, Ted is a pretty basic guy with a pretty basic job. Most people would even call him boring. One day at his boring job he meets his wife, Penny. Penny eventually gets bored and cheats on him with her guitar teacher. In the ensuing argument she tells him he may as well be dead, and this is when he decides he really would be better off dead. First however he has some things to do.
When Ted goes home to his home town to stay with his brother and his family things get a bit weird right out the gate. The first night his nephew tells him to use the dead bolt that’s on the guest room door, which he doesn’t only to discover his sister-in-law sleep masturbates in front of house guest. His nephew is hiding the fact that he is gay, which he confided in Ted, which leads to an entirely new predicament with the family.
Ted will also confront his childhood bully and have a small romance with the girl he had a crush on from 4th grade, that happens to now be married. All this while finding a new romance with a family member of the teacher that tormented him after the death of his father.
Now if this sounds like a lot going on, it is. That isn’t to say the movie is bad, I actually rather enjoyed it. The movie did get mixed reviews however, with metacritic giving it a 24% and rotten tomatoes a 10%. IMDb does give it a 6.4/10 with 91% of google users liking it. The movie is busy, but it seems to be another case where critics don’t like it, but people do. I am in this category as well. I enjoyed it a lot.
The movie while not perfect and at times quite busy is quite funny and while has an interesting yet cliché take on suicide. The movie doesn’t shy away from certain subjects like how the gay community is treated many times in high school or by family or even how many feel about themselves because of it. It also has shows how some times bullies act a certain way because of how they are treated, but also because sometimes they themselves are just crappy people.
The movie isn’t for everyone clearly, and it does deal with some sensitive subject matter that may bother or upset some people. It is however entertaining and thought-provoking. Movies don’t always make me stop and think, but this one did. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Teen Titans is my second favorite Dc animated show of all time; nothing is ever beating Batman: the animated series for me. And For all those wondering, Go can kiss my ass and call it ice cream. Well, this show can kiss my ass too. 99% of the time, I’m able to overlook bad trailers and drastic changes but the first trailer for live action Titans show pissed me off. Here’s why, because I don’t make this statement lightly.
First, DC hasn’t learned from one of it’s biggest mistakes in the overly dark tone of Batman Vs Superman , repeating it here in a series that sure as hell didn’t need it. The Titans have some dark stories but they aren’t this level dark, which having Robin say “Fuck Batman” isn’t dark, it makes him look like a emo brat. With the exception of Robin, the characters range from meh to damn right crappy. The effects aren’t great compared to things I’ve seen on the CW. What pisses me off so much is the Titans could make a good live action series or a movie, and the show proved it can serious but fun, not this. May the gaming gods bring you glory, and remember the real Titans.
