Terminal

terminal

I’m glad there are movies coming out in 2018 that make my jaw drop and make me ask WTF did I just watch. I saw the Terminal trailer a little while back and was hooked by it’s neon visuals. When it popped up on Hulu, I jumped at the chance to watch this strange gem.

Bill is a English teacher who’s dying from a terminal illness who pretty much has nothing else left to live for. After waiting for a train that isn’t coming, he finds himself alone in a desolate diner with an attractive but mad waitress. This waitress has a messed up double life as an upcoming contract killer who must face off against competition so she could work for a mysterious Mr Franklin. This is just the beginning of this ever twisting neon noir, because no one is who they seem and nothing is what you thought at the end of the rabit hole…

I can tell you right from the get-go, this movie ain’t for everyone. This is almost the definition of a cult movie: it strange, looks and sounds amazing, and has recognizable actors  in roles you sure as hell don’t see them doing, but doing well. Margot Robbie absolutely steals the show here in honestly my favorite performance from her yet followed closely by Simon Pegg in a more somber performance. Robbie and Pegg worked amazingly together. Again, the visuals are beautiful. The only flaw I see is that it does drag a bit and the fact you don’t know what the hell is going makes the movie feel longer than it is. I personally really liked it but I know it won’t be for everyone, but it’s worth checking out if not for the performances and visuals alone. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Zombie Spring Breakers (2017)

Every so often I see an interesting looking B movie so I check it out. Sometimes they are great sometimes I watch them and wonder why in the hell I was dumb enough to watch it. This time it fell somewhere in between. The movie was not good, but it was an interesting concept and the actors really put their hearts into making what was clearly a bad movie and making it at least fun, which they did.

The basic idea is in a world where people worry about zombies the way people worry about catching a terminal disease a group of friends and one sister go on a vacation for spring break. We have the usual group, guy and girl who broke up fighting a bit, the hot sister and the perverted friend that later turns out to be a virgin, the quiet foreigner that becomes heroic later, you know the crew. Anyway, eventually things go bad and the race to get off the island begins. It has its moments of being funny, but for the most part it’s a cliché zombie B movie with some nudity and small amount of gore. It is interesting enough or fans of B movies, but for everyone don’t bother watching it. Also the ending is legitimately ridiculous. I understand where it came from and why, and it was admittedly pretty original and clever, it just made much of the movie pointless. Bonus points tho for doing something new tho. I don’t regret watching it, but I feel like I would be in the minority there. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

American Horror Story: Coven

ahs 3 So Coven is the third American Horror Story and this time we get a more magical twist on things. Namely witchcraft vs voodoo.

Zoe, a young teen, has a mysterious accident that leaves her boyfriend dead and a hell of a lot of questions to be asked. She is sent to Miss Robichaux’s Academy in New Orleans, a boarding school for girls with issues like this. She finds out she’s a witch descended all the way back to Salem, as well as her classmates with there own dangerous gifts and troubled pasts.A change in power is coming at the school as Madison, the mean girl of this school, is taken under the wing of dying supreme witch Fiona and an old grudge between Fiona and a ageless voodoo priestess gets wicked in this creepy power struggle…

I’m going to be blunt, I love this season but it ain’t much of a horror story. There’s frightening imagery but I got more of a R rated Hogwarts vibe. Still, I always was fascinated by witchcraft and voodoo and the season takes an interesting approach them. The characters are all solid and Kathy Bates and Angela Basset are welcome additions. The pacing and the smooth flow make it the most engaging, so if you are a newcomer, I’d recommend. checking this season out first. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Project Hospital Preview

images

Recently it was announced that Project Hospital would be released on October 30th 2018. With that announcement Oxymoron Games decided to give some of us a little preview of the game, and I greatly appreciate being one of the people getting to preview this long-awaited game.

For those that aren’t aware, Project Hospital is a tycoon style management game. It is done in quite a realistic way, you will need to build rooms to deal with any number of issues ranging from the common cold to more severe issues requiring surgery. You will need to manage staff for both a night and day shift,from doctors down to janitors each with specific needs.

The game will start you off with a few short and easy to follow tutorials. They will guide you thru the basics of hiring and building of a hospital. It will prepare you adequately tho they do leave quite a bit for you to figure out on your own. That isn’t a bad thing, none of it is to hard just there really. But how bout the game play and the graphics?

Well graphically the game looks pretty good. It won’t win any awards or blow your mind but it gets the job done. The sound also falls into the same category really if I am being honest. Admittedly I have never met anyone that plays a tycoon game and does it for graphics and sound. It is all about the game play and functionality, and outside of a few minor issues that can easily be fixed by the time the game launches the game really shines in this department. One example is for some reason when placing an employee in a room the employee was offset from where my mouse was by a good 2 or 3 inches. Janitors also seem to act pretty odd at times but they warned us about that going into the whole thing as well.

At the end of the day the preview version is a late build beta with a few things still to be added and polish to be done and just over 2 months until release. With that much time clearly things will be improved. Before plaything this I was looking forward to the game, and now I am down right excited. October 30th will be a good time for tycoon fans. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Not long ago the news came out that Dark Souls Remastered was coming out this year. More to the point it was coming to the Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The only small issue was one of those versions, obviously the Switch got pushed back awhile. Well we finally have a release window and that window is, October. Check here for more details and a trailer. That being said I can’t help but feel that for many fans this may be a little to late for some as they have already been angered by the wait not to mention for many the update itself seems lackluster for others. Either way this will be a good time for Switch owners. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
