Most Anticipated 2019 Games

2018 wasn't a good year as far as the world was concerned, but it was a pretty great year for games, much like the year before it. Yes, there were some low points, I'm looking at you Fallout 76, but the high points are some of the highest we've seen. Red Dead Redemption 2 came out and did everything it was expected too and then some. Sony continued to knock it out of the park with high quality exclusives. The Nintendo Switch released a new Smash Bros. game, and I found my old Game Boy Advance and have begun scouring the internet and used game stores for the classics. Even Microsoft stepped up its game, purchasing new studios to make exclusive games for the Xbox. I'll be sticking with PlaySta

Something, Something Trident - Aquaman

When I was a kid, I never believed there would ever be an Aquaman movie, but it's here. On Dec. 21st, 2018, Aquaman opened in American cinemas, and it was glorious. Mild spoilers to follow S P O I L E R A L E R T Aquaman is absolutely insane in the best possible way. Bright, loud and full of color, Aquaman revels in its comic book roots. Instead of trying to be "dark," or "realistic," it embraces the complete absurdity of mermen riding giant sharks fighting crab people. Aquaman starts as a superhero film that turns into a fantasy-adventure film that feels like Uncharted/Indiana Jones, and finally morphs into Lord of the Rings underwater in the final act. This isn't a deep (HYUK HYUK HYUK) fi

Cowboy Bebop 20 Years Later: Why It's Still the Best Thing Ever

It's hard to believe Cowboy Bebop turned 20 this year. Originally airing in 1998 in Japan, I first saw it in 2003, when I was a freshman in High School. I'd only been introduced to anime the previous year at a friend's house through dubbed, edited, VHS copies of Gundam Wing and Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away had recently won an Academy Award). The trailer for Cowboy Bebop came at the tail end of every Gundam VHS my friend had, and it immediately grabbed my attention. Lucky for me, it had begun airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, allowing me to catch it. It simply blew me away, as I suspect was the case for most who saw it. I'd never seen anything like it in animation. The music, the

Game Awards 2018

I know, it's been two weeks without a post. The short version is my grandfather passed away and then I caught a cold. On top of that, internet hasn't been working properly and I've been unable to post. So that's been my life lately. Anyway, I watched the game awards live, wrote what I could immediately, and later polished this up. Tallyho. Pre-show Geoff Keighly comes out, blahblahblah. Says we're going to get some new trailers. I won't lie, if I didn't have this blog, I'd be here simply for the rumored Dragon Age 4. Also hoping to hear about Alien Blackout. I think Red Dead Redemption 2 will get game of the year, but I'm pulling for God of War. I'm probably going to sound like I'm complaini
