Aretha Franklin Queen of Soul, Rest in Peace

images

It is with great sorrow I must say that at the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin passed away today of pancreatic cancer as reported by People.  This one of a kind woman was loved by many and rose to stardom at a time when not only women, but people of color in general struggled to have a voice. Aretha Franklin would go on to become the Queen and icon of not only soul but an entire era of musicians that to this day look back at with pride and in awe of what she accomplished. It wasn’t just her music that people loved, with hit songs such as Respect that became a battle cry for the civil rights movement and women’s rights. movement.

Aretha Franklin will be missed my millions, may she rest in peace and the gaming gods bring her glory.

The Package (2018)

download

The Package is a um, interesting movie. The basic idea is ridiculous to even explain. When five friends go on a camping trip and decide to get drunk shit goes bad very fast. See when you have a drunk idiot playing with a butterfly knife while taking a leak bad things happen. Especially when your drunk idiot friends decide to scare you. The med evac gets there pretty fast so Jeremy gets there alive and well. His penis on the other hand, well that got left at the camp site when they accidentally gave the medics the beer instead of the penis.

Yea, that entire movie is a group of 4 friends trying to get Jeremy his dick back. The journey is quite eventful honestly. There are some injuries, a stolen boat, an 11-year-old pervert got slapped ( he deserved it) and even the heinous act of lost cell phones. Seriously tho the movie is weird, but in a fun way.

The movie has some solid acting and a fun premise. It isn’t new but can be exciting at times, if not goofy as hell needlessly. It is definitely worth watching if you like weird and awkward comedies.  Just don’t go into this expecting greatness, the movie is fun but it isn’t life changing or new, simply fun. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you greatness.

The Meg (2018) — Dan the Man’s Movie Reviews

Tell me why people love Shark Week so much again? A massive creature of epic proportions attacks a deep-sea submersible, leaving it disabled and trapping the crew at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. No one knows what’s really down there, nor do they know the best cause of action just yet, but with time […]

American Horror Story: Asylum

ahs 2

So, you know how you get nervous going to the doctors as a kid? Hell, damn right scared even; your heart beats tenfold and you scream in terror when you have to get a shot? Well, old school medical treatment was 1000 times scarier than a shot. So I was really looking forward to jumping into the Asylum for the second American Horror Story .

Our location is BriarCliff, an asylum for the insane during the 1960’s. A reporter, Lana, is investing the estate and finds herself locked within it’ walls by the conflicted and corrupt Sister Jude and her underling Sister Mary Eunice. After Lana’s false incarceration and a new prisoner arrives who claims to have been abducted by aliens, strange things begin happening. Mary Eunice begins changing, patients disappear when a Dr with a dark secret comes in, and Lana falls for a young, handsome therapist at the asylum who has has his own terrible secret that will follow Lana decades after the asylum, the psychotically brutal Bloody Face…

Of the series Asylum is my least favorite, but it’s still a solid season. I liked the new time period and how I look it as a representation of the cruel, gritty age of medicine ending and our more modern age of more ethical treatment taking over. The performances were better this season but I have to give a huge round of applause to Zachary Quinto for a surprising as hell performance that made damn sure I’ll never watch Star trek (reboot)  the same ever again. I loved the plot about Nazi experimentation and the Bloody Face Arc; what hurt the season for me was the alien abduction story. Don’t get me wrong, I found it intersting as hell but it dragged on too long and I felt it held too much weight on the overall narrative while other stories dried up too soon. Also, the ending of that arc made the end too sugary for me. In the end, AHS: Asylum was ambitious and while I find it my least favorite of the series, I think it’s still worth seeing. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Movie Pass Limiting Options.

The-Meg-Eats-MoviePass-Header

Movie Pass, the awesome service that lets you go see a movie once a day for an insanely low price just got a bit less awesome. They are now limiting 2 movie choices a day. Screen Rant has more of the details, but I honestly am not sure how anyone thought this was sustainable as a business model. The idea that millions of people would be able to see a movie everyday for the insanely low price of $10 (rounding) a month is asinine. Tho I suspect that maybe the plan was to get a bunch of people to sign up, then raise the price in hopes most people would stay or that similar to a gym member ship most people simply wouldn’t go. Either way it will be interesting to see how this goes. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Top 7 Obscure PS1 Horror Games That You Probably Haven’t Played — 16-Bit Dad

Horror games have been a huge part of the gaming industry since the 16-Bit era with the likes of Sweet Home, a Horror RPG game that was also the inspiration for Resident Evil. However, due to the popularity of the aforementioned Resident Evil, as well as Silent Hill, many horror games went largely unnoticed and…

5 Things I learned Playing Monster Hunter World

download (3)

Playing Monster hunter world taught me a few things, a few things I felt might be worth sharing. I am by no means an expert but they helped me out greatly. I also spent my time mostly playing with a friend not doing these things, so I saw the difference it made first hand.

  1. Upgrade you armor. The items you collect will be pretty useless soon anyway because you will be collecting better items or upgrading. Use what you have, and don’t be afraid to use your armor spheres. They are easy enough to get more of.
  2. There is no reason no to ALWAYS be working on bounties. You can be working on 6 at a time and they are always active regardless of what you are doing on a hunt. Picking ones for harvesting ore or flora (things you will be doing anyway) are quick ways to be collecting both resources and Spheres you need.
  3. Upgrade you Palico. This one may seem like a no brainer, but I have seen a few people wandering around in Grade A armor with weapons I have never seen with cats wearing basic stuff. These little guys are  life saver, assuming you treat them right. Plus they are cute as hell.
  4.  There are a ton of guides on YouTube for weapons, find one for your weapon of choice ( they are all viable, find one you like and use it) and learn about it. The difference between being okay with a weapon and being great with a weapon makes a world of difference. Learn from those that came before you. Chances are the weapon you like has a move or combo you aren’t aware of.
  5. And last but not least, unless you absolutely have to, never heal with a potion. a mega potion heals much more health and can be made with a potion and honey, 2 simple ingredients easily found. Between the ease of finding them and the ability to customize your loadout in the item box to change at the push of a button it shouldn’t be often you are healing with potions. A good trick is when you can, bring 10 mega potions, 10 potions and 10 honey with you. This will give you 10 mega potions to heal with and the ability to make more.

And that is all, I hope that helps you out at least a little in the beginning. Bets wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
