Cyberpunk: Edgerunners X Pokemon Violet

My hype for Shadowbringers is incredibly real, so I made this piece of art.

Ready Player One (Short Review)

As the credits rolled, mentally, I was making one of the biggest sighs of relief that I can recall when it came to whether or not a film would live up to my expectations. Ready Player One not only met my expectations, it exceeded them.

Let’s get this out of the way. This is not a two hour movie of "Remember the 80's? Remember this movie? Remember this game?"

Yes, it has the Iron Giant. Yes it has Tracer from Overwatch and Yes, it most certainly has Gundam (just to name a few). But that's just the cherry on top of this delicious hot fudge sundae of fun and Spielberg patented wonder.

From beginning to end, I was invested in the characters, rooting for them to collect the keys and find the Easter Egg to control the Oasis (the film's VR world) and it's thanks in large part to the excellent story, told in a way that only Spielberg could craft with such excellence in execution, supported by a wonderful cast and masterclass visual effects.

Simply put and forgive my French, Ready Player One is fucking awesome and saying anything else would just spoil the fun.

Game 1 of 6 from my Christmas List...

Hey...

Haven’t posted here in a while, so here’s one of my more recent pictures taken from the Japan pavilion at Epcot.

Recently, I've been watching Yu Yu Hakusho on VRV. It's been years since I've seen the show and it truly reminded me what the definition of #SquadGoals is.

This is a battle scene from the first episode of an anime that just released yesterday called Re: Creators. This anime came out out of nowhere and is already one of my favorites of the season thus far. The concept is simple, instead of the trope of a protagonist going into a fantasy world ala Sword Art Online, Manga/Anime characters enter ours and the protagonist is caught in the crossfire. With the story by the creator of Black Lagoon, the direction done by the director of Fate/Zero and the music done by Sawano (Attack on Titan/Kill la Kill). I implore you, to please check this show out.

So firstly, before I get into my thoughts on this absolutely wonderful trailer, I need to lay my cards on the table.

I’ve never cared for the Zelda series. I’ve never been a fan, it was just never a franchise that appealed to me.

Until Breath of the Wild was first announced. The idea of the franchise stepping towards a Skyrim-like concept of an open world for you to fully explore and to do whatever has intrigued me from the very beginning.

All this build up lead to this trailer right here. This trailer is flawless. The presentation, the music, the art style, the fact there’s FINALLY voice acting that conveys more emotion than any game I’ve played in the past year.

There’s giant monsters that shoot laser beams of death, the ability to tame wild horses, a loot system where enemies can drop better weapons and gear, hunting, dungeons and even a Matrix bullet time effect where you can snipe enemies like a badass in mid-air.

If you haven’t already guessed, I’ve pre-ordered this already, you should too.

Let’s face it, I’ve been completely obsessed with the Nintendo Switch since both the presentation and the Treehouse event and I’ve spent a majority of my time reading anything I can find on it. Impressions, videos, you name it, I’ve most likely read it.

I feel like a crazy person, a person craving more information, more game announcements, more... well, everything related to this console.

I haven’t felt this way about a console for the longest time. March 3rd can’t come soon enough.

I’ve watched this trailer too many times to count. This game can’t come out soon enough.

In case anyone is confused, none of this happens in the game, this is an “Omen” by King Regis of a What If? scenario in which Noctis gives into the darkness.

Still badass nevertheless.

This is the featured track from the upcoming game No Man’s Sky. This song alone sells the entire game to me, especially if all the music is like this.

Today, I turned 25 and with that, came birthday money, and with that birthday money, lead me to the pre-order of the Ultimate Edition of Forza Horizon 3. No regrets.

As someone who is a huge fan of the Tron films and believed that Tron Legacy was the best film of 2010.

WHY CAN’T WE HAVE THIS DISNEY SENPAI!

Behind the Kiznaiver opening, this is my 2nd favorite opening from this season.

So far the show has been hit and miss for me, but this more than makes up for it’s shortcomings.

From the same guys who did the intro from Kiznaiver. I’m really starting to like these guys a lot, I wouldn’t mind if they did opening music for every anime.

Kiznaiver Intro Taken Down

And of course the only video I could find of the Kiznaiver intro without any pitch change or A-ha dub-in was taken down. Thanks Japan.
