Epic Level Bard

This was originally planned as a much longer article, but life really interfered with me this week. So, this is going to be a condensed version because I still wanted to get something out on Friday. I may still do a longer and better article at a later date, because I’m a Mass Effect fanboy, and I can talk about this subject pretty much forever. Last year, the much anticipated sequel to the Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect: Andromeda, was released. It was… not on par with the original series. If you’re reading this, chances are you already know what a disaster the backlash to the game ended up becoming for BioWare and EA, but let’s still have a brief recap. The game was released unfinished,

Alright folks, I promised something different from last week, and after three weeks of E3, as awesome as it was, I’m sure you’re ready for a change of pace. Welcome to the first edition of 80s Night Bitches! Everyone loves 80s movies, except for Quentin Tarantino, but he’s wrong. Now everyone knows Ghostbusters, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, etc.… So, I’m going to use this as an opportunity to look at some less well known 80s flicks. Hidden gems that should be better known, but for whatever reason aren’t. We’re going to start with the John Hughes film, Some Kind of Wonderful. Some Kind of Wonderful is something of the dark horse among Hughes films. It’s the last in his sequen

I promise this is going to be my last post about E3 for now. I’m not going to cover everything because again, there’s way too much, so I’m mostly going to cover what I personally found interesting. I know, that’s not objective, but hey, it’s my blog. Anyway, let’s dive right in. EA: This was lackluster to put it mildly. First off, they didn’t really show off much of Battlefield V, I feel like they talked about it more than they showed it, and we still got pretty much nothing regarding the single player mode. The big announcement was that multiplayer will have battle royal mode. I have to be honest, I really don’t understand the appeal of battle royal, and I really don’t see what makes it dif

I know, I know, we already covered this last week, but bear with me here. There are a couple of items I’d like to go a bit more in-depth on, plus there’s a couple of new announcements. I promise this won’t be as long as last week, let’s get to it. From Software: I honestly can’t believe I forgot to talk about this last week. Last year From Software debuted a teaser for their next game. All we saw was a bloody instrument and the words “shadows die twice.” The safe bet is that this is most likely Bloodborne 2, and I personally think this makes the most sense. Dark Souls is finished (for now) and Bloodborne was a big hit for them; combined with Sony’s desire for even more exclusives, Bloodborne

Alright folks, this is it. We’re only a week away from E3, when the Video Game Industry makes most of its major announcements, and it’s looking like it’s going to be one hell of a show this year. Between what we know, what’s rumored, and speculation, there’s a LOT to cover, and I can’t cover all of it. So, let’s get right to it. Full honesty, I only have a PS4, so most of my thoughts will be related to the PlayStation and multi-console games. I will do my best to be fair though. Electronic Arts: OK, if we want to get technical, EA stopped participating in E3 a few years ago and hold their own thing the day before, but it’s still going to be covered along with everything else. EA is coming in
