Game of Thrones for Mobile and Steam

2048.png

Recently announced by HBO is a new mobile game for Game of Thrones and will also be available on Steam. Coming in October you will be able to rule as one of the popular T.V. characters. Like the show you will reportedly die pretty quickly and the dark sense of humor will carry over and all the characters dialogue will be in character. The game will reportedly cost $3.99. The game could be interesting and is at least cheap enough that you aren’t risking much if you are a fan and pick it up. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The bad news for Guardians of the Galaxy of the galaxy keeps coming with Screen Rant Reporting that Guardians 3 has been put on hold while the movie shifts to someone else even if they use the script written by former director James Gunn. Hopefully this doesn’t hold things up to much. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dark Souls Remastered,a Release Window, Finally. (Switch)

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.

Aretha Franklin Queen of Soul, Rest in Peace

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.

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.

Nintendo Killing Rom Sites

download

Yup, in recent months Nintendo has sued 2 huge rom sites ( more on that here) which I get, from a business sense they need to. They are selling their own emulator machines with the NES and SNES classics and the rumored N64 classic. It wouldn’t make sense to let people give away the games they themselves are attempting to sell. On the flip side, it isn’t easy to find the games we all loved growing up. Most of the time finding them isn’t easy. It has gotten easier in the internet era obviously. Gone are the days of hitting flea markets and such in hopes of finding your favorite game. Granted it is still fun and I love doing it. The hunt is actually half the fun.

Sadly sometimes the game you want is just impossible to find, enter game emulators and roms. Just pop those suckers onto your computer, maybe handheld or one of the aforementioned classics Nintendo released and away you go.

Now however out of fear of legal action from Nintendo some sites are shutting themselves down. Emuparadise is the latest site to stop shelling out retro games, tho this one is self-imposed. PC Mag has the full story. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
