  • Avowed Looks Bland & Generic, Stop Thinking Of Devs As Your Friends.
    The moment I saw Avowed, I 100% did not care about the game because of how generically bland & dull the game looked. Then I saw the poster art for it & it 100% is Ai Art. I called them out for it & I got trashed. I know cheap Ai when I see it because I use it all the time. I even pulled up the proof with my own Ai Midjourney V4.2 skulls & look at that thumbnail, you can almost trace over it. Look at the exact placing of the teeth & nasal cavity. Sure they might have added stuff to it in photoshop, post production but the base is Ai generated. My proof picture is from a year ago, before the Avowed poster was revealed.
    Anyways, in this video I also react to a major fan of the company making Avowed & he is deeply conflicted about Avowed based on their dev history with games he loved. There is no need to be conflicted, you already know the game is not going to be what you want. Especially when they apparently blasted the price of the game. Look at the characters of the game. They all look instantly forgettable. Nothing unique about them at all.
    The monsters look goofy & comical. Why do western studios think this is a good look for their games. Look at Dragon Age Veilguard, they look hilariously stupid & goofy. The action is poorly rigged & animated, look how they kick & watch the rag doll of the target getting kicked lol.
    I hate watching a guy reacting or reviewing a franchise or company he loved feel bad about criticizing their next game. I support games that are good & I will pay them money to continue to support them. But let’s say Stellar Blade 2 comes out & we are playing as an unappealing gender whatever & the team slams the audience that made them MILLIONS of dollars, you better believe, I will throw them under the bus, full speed. It’s business, not family. Look at how people finally realized we were right about Dragon Age Veilguard, the customer is NEVER wrong. Thank you to  spellandshield  for the video I reacted to.
    Thank you for watching & as always stay stellar & stay tuned for more great content.

    Dragon Age Veilguard Character Creation. Nice Model VS In Game Model. WHY?
    (I should have led with this, but I figured people would rather see gameplay first.)
    I spent about 30 mins customizing my character, the default facial stuff was decent so I did not adjust much, but truth be told I was also put off by all the options available. I am certain you can create a very attractive female character but I was satisfied with my girl…until I realized she had a stronger jaw than mine. I now have Jaw Envy lol (that’s a joke) The head size is very odd for a stylized choice when compared to the world, but they did do it on purpose because they knew we, the “Chuds” lol would not like it & their slop swallowers would love anything they would get, because they are foot soldiers lol. But the further I got with the character creation, the more concerned I got regarding how they would treat women in this game.
    One of the last options is the voice settings. You only have 2 pitch options: Medium & Low, there is no High pitch option. Women have high pitches as well, why only give them male oriented pitches? Now go watch my 1st game play video & listen to Neve, she not only looks like Kris Ava Tyson, but she also sounds manly. It is so weird how out of their way they went to take femininity out of this game. I will record another video for character creation for the Qunari & I will beat them silly with the Fugly stick, stay tuned.
    1 thing you can always count on me for is that I will play & watch whatever I am praising or trashing, I would rather be justified in my right or wrong views on things than be completely wrong because I was misguided by people that just watch other reviewers or tweets.

    Rings Of Power Season 2 Is Actually Good, But Why?
    I watched a few reviews from different people & I am starting to really believe there is a thing called Overly negative reviews. Rings Of Power Season 1 was not great at all. Watching a single episode was a drudge, like going in to work. I gave it a bad review. I was ready for the same experience with Rings Of Power Season 2…but that never happened in the 1st 2 episodes.
    This is all I watched so far & this is what the video is about. I strongly believe the reason why the 1st season failed was because each episode was written by a community of writers. Only 2 episodes of Rings Of Power Season 1 were written by 1 writer, the rest had 2 to even 4 writers working on it & as a result, we got a terrible show that was hard to point the finger at WHO caused it to be so bad.
    Now looking at Rings Of Power Season 2, all but 2 episodes were written by 1 person & the 2 that weren’t were by only 2 writers. I honestly don’t think a show needs more than 1 or 2 writers but whatever. So the episodes are less scatterbrained, which makes them easier to watch. The 2nd thing is that in at least the 1st 2 episodes of Rings Of Power Season 2, the arrogance is gone. Even Galadriel is tamed & can be easier to watch. She is not the Girl B*tch Boss she was in the 1st season of Rings Of Power. That goes a long way as well. Those 2 things combined in my opinion made the show miles better & easier to watch, so that is how I am reviewing this episode.

    Will Rings Of Power Season 2 betray that, maybe but until then, I will always be fair & praise/trash accordingly. 2 things of note, I do think the actor they chose for Sauron is an excellent fit, he has more range than I expected. Adar, the actor from Rings Of Power Season 1 has been replaced with a less imposing actor that I don’t think has the chops or presence of the original Adar. Lastly…should we expect an actual Lord Of The Rings show true to Tolkein? NO. I am Ok with adding their own spin to things, as long as it is in the spirit of the lore. But changing things that rework how some things were designed, not so much. I am referring to The Orcs. We’ll get there when we get to that episode.
    I wish people would be more honest in their reviews instead of trying to twist every scene to fit your negative narrative for the negative fanbase/following you amassed. There is good in everything, just like there is bad in everything we consume.
    Thank you for watching.

    Woke up today to this news: GMomLJiXkAA0815

     

    And now it is ALL over media, youtube, everywhere. But, deservedly so. I usually cant stand media blown up like this so fast and everywhere, but this is pretty serious.

    My first thought was, what about the 120+ countries that don’t have access to PSN? PSN is only available in 69 countries. People who bought the game on Steam in these 120+ countries will lose access. Just like that. Boom. Gone.

    And not long after this was posted:

    Screenshot 2024-05-03 124113

    Just like I saw coming.

    And we also now have this :

    GMp8ykYbYAAn6PA

    Reviews have gone WAY down, fast. In fact, the community manger of Helldivers 2 told people to do that.

    GMq5SQIW4AAUyGd

    So, either this will be reversed somehow, or this game is going to fall off a cliff fast.

    It was fun while it lasted. I really like this game. Sad to see stupid decisions ruining something good in this world where it is hard to find something good in anymore.

    Firstly I am a long time member of the GG forums but normally I just lurk and read, but this happened to me over the last few days or so and needs to brought to the attention of Gamers every where that staff working for games tainted by the Sweet Baby Inc and other companies push the DEI mandate in games are using dishonest tactics to shut us gamers up on Steam discussions by causing our steam accounts to get restricted or even worse.

    I have been a member of Steam for nearly 20 years and have been a gamer since the days of the C64. But recently I have made a few posts about my feelings and responding to posts about SBI and DEI in the discussion sections for games that are tainted with SBI and or the DEI mandate only to find mine and other users posts get removed and in several circumstances me and other users get banned from the discussion sections by the staff working for these games.

    Now here is where the problem starts because should a Steam user get banned from a few of discussions for games for doing nothing more in some cases then just posing the question if SBI was involved with a game or even just answering a question along those lines, said user will find that their account will be placed in restricted mode where the users profile gets removed from public view and the user can’t use any community features like posting in discussions, making game guides, leaving reviews for games, uploading mods for games, giving steam points rewards to other steam users or even editing their own profile.
    This is how these games companies are trying to silence us gamers because should we speak out we get punished despite breaking none of Steams rules or guidelines and these bans are not given by any members of Steams staff.

    I found myself in this very predicament despite not breaking any of Steams rules or guidelines I was banned from a two discussion sections (Homeworld 3 & The Pale beyond) and without warning found my Steam account placed in to restricted mode, I tried to appeal to Steam and was told twice that the bans was nothing to do with Steam and that nothing could be done I felt that the people who read the appeals ether didn’t care or was on the side of SBI / DEI. Lucky for me however my appeal to the response of my second appeal was read and handled by someone with morals and responded by removing all restrictions and could understand how these bans aren’t warranted.

    I feel a light needs to be shone on this matter because despite this member of Steams support saying he will raise the issue can we really be sure anything will be done.

    I have enclosed screen shots below

    Because Of Sweet Baby Inc Games Like Tales Of Kenzera Zau Will.
    Fail I absolutely hate the state of video games today.
    We have activists that have completely ruined the experience of EVERYBODY & NOBODY is playing the games that get ruined by the likes of Sweet Baby Inc. I have been hyped for a game called Tales Of Kenzera Zau that was revealed last summer & it’s finally coming out in a month. I will be buying the game because I like the look & idea behind the game. What I don’t like however is that the game has been touched Sweet Baby Inc. Thus getting it put on the Sweet Baby Inc Detected Curator page. What this means is that the game is most certain to fail JUST because of SBI. I 100% understand why people do this & I support them for protesting the agenda.

    But things are a bit complicated because based on everything I have seen & my interactions with Tales Of Kenzera Zau’s creator Abubakar Salim, I do not think he was aware of Sweet Baby Inc’s behavior & history. SBI did not work on the game, the screenshot from SBI did not give any indication of what they did on the game & they are open about what they worked on. Abubakar is an African man, he made a game about his African culture & the mythology of Africa.
    He also made the game to honor his father. So tell me, what narrative could these French Canadians, black, white, whatever, what could they teach him about blackness, being African or his culture, what can they “Enlighten” him on or about? NOTHING. I think all they did was help him get seen & published by EA. Further evidence of his cutting ties (to an extent) is that if you go to the Sweet Baby Inc website, his game is not listed & they scrubbed all existence of Tales Of Kenzera Zau. I checked other sites like ICO that is another SBI company, no traces. I have also communicated with Abubakar & got his permission to publish our short communication history.

    I want this game to succeed & hopefully that will get other games devs to see that we do want diversity in games, but we do not want agendas & activists to harass, attack & slander us. I am playing a game called WANTED:DEAD & it is incredibly diverse & the game is so fun & there is no brow beating or activism going on. I did not talk about all the evil that has been happening such as the Corporate bullying & harassments & threats of violence & attempts at doxing & most recently the lawsuit threats for people that discuss the evil. I did not want their evil energy any more on me, but I recommend you guys check out a friend of the channel, that has been speaking more on the details in a very balanced & level head,  @saladinho1st  Lastly, I am a Montreal Canadian & most of the big players on the Activist’s side have blocked me including Kim who is the owner of Sweet Baby Inc, Alyssa Mercan’t & a bunch of other Corporate bullies have blocked me. It is dangerous for my future to discuss them because they are aware of me & they keep tabs on who they consider their enemies & all I did was call them Corporate bullies that are now protected by the Canadian Government. If you are protected by the government, you are already on the wrong side. There are also lists going around to get people blacklisted so they do not work in the entertainment & gaming industry & that is pure evil & is 100% corporate bullying.

    Things  are  already crazy & every day we see something new & absurd like they now want to ban Review channels?! WTH, they want 100% censorship & they think they are the good guys lol.
    Thank you for watching & reading.

    Sweet Baby Cyanide 

    2013 was also the year that Zoe Quinn launched Depression Quest. A game that got aggregate scores of 9.0 from gaming journalists and 0.9 from gamers. It was hardly the first one with a ratio so freaking lopsided that it would have capsized a coal barge and it sure as hell hasn’t been the last. But then Quinn’s boyfriend(?) put up a post declaring that she had screwed five reviewers to get good reviews for Depression Quest.

    In truth, I have absolutely no idea if she did the Five Guys, Reviews, and Lies thing. But it automatically fit in with a narrative about the state of gaming journalism that every gamer knew to be true.

    The SJWs looked at Zoe Quinn, purple hair, piercings all over her face (and god knows where else), a history of mental illness, and a reputation for indiscriminate sexual depravity and saw one their own. They rushed to her defense, not at all certain what they were defending. After all, they didn’t play games but they knew if journalists were being accused of lying then they undoubtedly were and they needed to be defended.

    Quinn didn’t particularly want to be a martyr to the cause but there were others that were happy to oblige. Brianna Wu, was the first in but was too given to making a spectacle of him/her/xim/xhr/themselves to be presentable on camera. It was too much work for journalists to make Wu look plausible as anything other than an insane attention addict.

    Anita Sarkeesian became the feminist flavor of the month, despite the fact she knew so little about gaming she mistook Doom for Fallout.

    The geriatric Left woke up, looked around and demanded to know who was the Hitler Nazi this time? A search was conducted to find a sympathetic authority figure in GamerGate who could declare a public surrender.

    The choice of Intel may seem a strange one but you have to remember something very important; Intel has a shit-ton of money. When you saw Jesse Jackson (who had been trying for years to get his hooks into the tech sector) on stage to collect a part of Intel’s $300 million payout you knew exactly what had happened.

    Democrat Senators had threatened to drag Intel before various committees for This and That, so the publicly traded corporation could be raked over the coals over their support of misogyny and scare the hell out of their investors. Intel caved big time and there was now blood in the water. Sharks came out of the depths.

    This was about the time that the game studios started getting snapped up by major media conglomerates. These multinationals had no real idea what to do with gaming studios, so they were put to work making sequels of the titles that had made them famous or just sent them to the corporate IP mines if there was any trouble with those rights. Glob, I feel so sorry for Raven.

    The kind of game dev who could thrive in that environment were frustrated film school grads who couldn’t get into Hollywood like Neil Cuckman. He couldn’t wait to drag Anita Sarkessian in for sensitivity reads. He was determined to make The Last of Us 2 the Last Jedi of gaming and… (long tired sigh) succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

    Multinationals, being multi-national view bribes being demanded of them as just another form of taxation which it basically is. All they want to know is “Who do I pay, to make the problem go away?”

    Anita Sarkeesian who was initially quite in demand, is sadly now in the position of being yet another trailblazer who was forced out of the industry she created by upstart competitors. Meaning, companies like Sweet Baby Inc.

    The newcomers aren’t just threatening corporations in exchange for shakedown money. Their shakedowns are offered as a product! They call it narrative development editing, which makes it at least sound like they are doing something besides saying, “Nice game you got there, be a shame if something happens to it.” Paying them to do sensitivity reviews to discover anything that could be problematic is just another form of insurance to these studios’ corporate overlords.

    Your multimillion-dollar gaming product will be shipped with some seal of approval by one of these companies that declares that this game has supported Trans people, fought the patriarchy, beaten attractive female characters with a mid-stick, and will in no way offend the eternally offended.

    You know what these games won’t have?

    Players.

      because no one can say for 100% when life begins

      If that’s the case then you are possibly murdering half a million people a year based on “no one can say for 100% when life begins”.

      What is it at conception that makes it a living human being?

      Please define human being for me.  If an unborn child is not a human.  What is?

      Are you going to say an unborn child is a collection of cells?  You are a collection of cells.

      Are you going to say an incomplete or not “fully formed” organism is not human?  You might want to inform all the folks born with severe defects.

      Or is your take that the only thing between human and not human is birth?

       What is it at conception that makes it a living human being? I am not asking what conception is, I am asking why you believe this is the moment that defines when it starts. It seems like DNA is what you go by, and I’m wondering why? DNA is found in dead people long after dying, are people getting buried alive during their funeral? Why does your criteria change between life and death suddenly?

      At conception (as I think I have typed about 5 times now) 2 incomplete sets of attributes come together and make a unique set of attributes.  Those are human attributes.  And the resulting “thing” is most certainly alive.  So therefore, it’s a living human being.

      Stop conflating being human with being alive.  That’s about the 3rd time you have done that.  They are 2 separate descriptors.

      My criteria doesn’t change. An unborn baby is a live human being.  A corpse is a dead human being.

      Ever been to any of the museums with the taxidermized animals?  If we were there together and I pointed to a stuffed 10 tall foot polar bear and asked you what that was, would you say I don’t know but it sure isn’t a polar bear because it’s not alive?

      Also, the process of conception is explained via science. What if scientists are wrong?

      What do you mean what if. Science has historically been far more wrong than right.  I made that argument to you several posts ago.  Your argument of “human not a human” is the one that depends on science.  Mine does not.  Clearly when men and women come together, via sexual intercourse , the woman can get pregnant and at that point a new (human) life is created.  And several months later a fully formed human child is born.  That is not science, that is observation.  I don’t need to know exactly when this happens or that happens.  That’s your rationalization not mine.

      I believe details are important when discussing matters. I’ve had enough of conversations where people gishgallop and throw 8 different arguments and when the arguments are thoroughly reviewed one by one, they don’t defend the argument but throws 10 more arguments that look reasonable at first glance.

      I’m not saying you do it, but I’ve had a fair share of those discussions here. I’m just saying details are important.

      Well, I can respect that.  And I should have proven to you by now I do not speak of things like that I have not put much thought into.  That being, I am telling you what I think not what I have heard.

      Details are important.  But details are part of the conversation, they are not the conversation.

      You are metaphorically looking at a painting of the Last Supper through a telescope seeing only 1 small portion of it.   And you are telling me, hey look at that picture of a wine cup.  I look and I say dude, that’s the Last Supper look at the entire thing.  And you argue with me saying no, I can see it very well and it’s a picture of a cup.

      Thanks for replying Vknid.
      So I want to be clear, I am an artist, I like artistic stuff even if at times (more often than not) it is very progressive. It’s unfortunate but there are not many more conservative people making creative movies like this. I am also a content creator.
      I balance my point of views & I review movies strictly as a Reviewer, I leave my politics at the door, I might mention a few things but the review part is as impartial as I can be. If I am just talking about a movie, that is where  I will interject my personal POV of the topics over the review.
      MEN is incredibly well made with some top tier cinematography & acting. The movie was very well established & the tone of the movie, even though it unravels in the last 30 minutes, the tone carried through to the end.
      The movie is NOT very feminist, it does not beat you over the head with too many “Messages” the only message it carries is the dangers that some women face at the hands of Men & how some women as a result of those traumas (they really ruined that word haven’t they) they see All Men as the same. That is a major thing that many people forget, these situations DO happen to women & it is more often than we want to accept or admit. I know a few women that are very close to me that suffered these fates & 1 of the 3 of the worst have been scared  for life. That’s why I always keep a balanced perspective when I hear people talk about this stuff from both men & women on both Left & Right. I’m not a right winger, I am more conservative but I have a lot of liberal views as well. We need to be balance, we cannot have a 1 sided society. lol sorry aboot the tangent lol,
      Back to the movie part, so as progressive as the movie seems, where ALL the MEN are white & are Evil as the story unravels… SPOILERS

      .
      .
      .
      .
      .

      .
      I gave you the time to leave if you wanted the movie not to be spoiled:
      The actual Villain of the movie is 1 man, her ex Husband that was an ABUSIVE BLACK MAN! The reason they all look alike in the movie with 1 face is because she had 1 main abuser that she tried to escape from & escape his memory but our past & our memories always find a way to follow us & come out on top.
      See, the  movie is progressive but also balanced.
      But yes, you are correct, most Mainstream movies like this are ham fisted about their message & they will make white straight men the  villains & in those movies you would have better odds beating Mike Tyson than the movie being any good lol.

        It’s almost impossible to find quality or unique movies in the last 10 years or so.  But here is one of them.  This is a movie with Keanu Reeves that is fairly unique. I have seen some similar overall concepts but the implementation of the concept and it’s tie to current time makes it a home run.

        This is a great movie with a great and creepy story.  It’s not horror it not even scary.  It’s just creepy and makes you think.

        Check it out, it’s on Netflix.

        As old as some of you are, I am sure everyone at some point has heard of Bomberman. Whether you played back on the on Super Nintendo (some cases, NES) or later on Gameboy Advance or GameCube or even the Xbox and PS3, Bomberman has withstood the test of time. Although Hudson Software (the original developers) was bought out by Konami, Bomberman has surprisingly lived on and to no surprise, Bomberman is back and better than ever and has been back since 2017 around the release of the switch.

         

        But what is Bomberman? He’s a fun robot that blasts blocks. While his objectives has went from reaching the surface to become a real boy to return in Lode Runner or in other cases he’s battling with an evil scientist or his black counterpart. In any case, Bomberman has no consistency with his stories and you could say each video game is its own universe and canon shifts based on which game you play.

         

        I personally believe this is what kept Bomberman fresh for so long. You never have to play the games in chronological order, you can just pick up a game and play. Sure, some of Bomberman’s more iconic characters or references are lost to time or with HudsonSoft’s buyout, but the spirit of the Bomberman franchise will never truly end (or at least I hope).

         

        With the newest iteration of Bomberman R (R standing for Reborn or Renewed) we see each Bomberman who had their own color now has their own look and personality to match which is new and actually is both refreshing and humorous. Bomberman has encompasses both goofy and serious moments, these characters feel like they’re straight out of an anime and I love every bit of it.

         

        White bomber is obviously the Leader and older brother, Black bomber surprisingly turns into Mr. suave, blue bomber the sleepiest robot I’ve ever seen, green bomber whose the baby brother with sneaky tendencies, yellow bomber is the carefree goofball, Red is the bomb happy burning passion of Fighting, Pink is the sweeter big sister, and Aqua is the quiet younger sister, and together they are the 8 bomber brothers with the exception of Karaoke Bomber whom I think is the original Pink bomber who was originally a character named Honey who had a looong history in Bomberman.

         

        Well anyways, this new iteration started in 2017 with Super Bomberman R and spoilers ahead: the return to the basics with the original evil scientist to fight Bomberman, Buggler (Bagura in Japan) who wants to take over the galaxy with Robots he reprogrammed. The held traditional 5 stages with 8 levels and a boss, truly traditional Bomberman.

         

        And of course after Super Bomberman R Online came and went (no one paid for the micropay BS)

         

        And 6 years after Super Bomberman R, we come to the sequel of Super Bomber R 2 which is honestly one of the best direct sequels to a game I have ever played.

         

        In this game, we are introduced to a new villain, Fusell and his minions known as The Lugion. A villain spanking across galaxies to collect creatures known as the Ellon for sinister purposes. The Bomberman brothers (that’s what they’re called now) come across the Ellon, baby like energy entities with the power energize equipment for various purposes. As cute as they are, they are definitely a handful as Fusell seeks to capture the Ellon while encountering the sinister looking creatures called The Lugion. This is where the story begins.

         

         

         

         

        This game is very different from other bomberman games where normally the objective was to defeat enemies in 8 round with a boss, now you’re traveling across three long stages to collect 100 Ellon in each stage and battling Lugion in Base defense and base infiltration. An entirely new concept for bomberman which is surprisingly intuitive and challenging but ultimately a FUN CONCEPT!

         

        I’m sure there are people who love or hate tower defense, but when applied to a series like bomberman, it is surprisingly intuitive and almost a match made in heaven. I have fun building defense stages and I get to infiltrate stages of the Lugion (and online as well). The rest of the story is you travelling across 3 planets with around 10-14 areas to explore and level up 15 levels for each planet all to battle a final boss on each level with a 4th and final boss which is Fusell.

         

        How to play: if you played one bomberman game, you’ve played them all. You bomb blocks to create paths and kill enemies, but you also have to place and move before the bomb explodes because your bombs can hurt you. The game works kind of like a puzzle. You bomb blocks to create paths, find power ups and use your bomb powers to blast your opponents with various techniques to block your enemies and blow them up.

         

        The game comes to a satisfying conclusion and actually the story carries some seriousness and moral questions in the story. Upon completion, you’ll find a surprise, a surprise that most games no longer offer: UNLOCKABLES. Unlockable characters with no extra cost, unlockable items with no additional cost, a bunch of in game only currency that requires NONE OF YOUR ACTUAL MONEY TO RECEIVE?! I THINK KONAMI FINALLY LEARNED WE DON’T LIKE MICROPAY?!?!

         

        Hell has frozen over, A big corporate company has finally learned that forcing micropay into our games won’t make us buy them! That’s right. All the in game unlockable don’t require extra money. Just you playing the game.

         

        It’s so refreshing to see this in this day and age. To think something we used to take for granted as kids is now making a fantastic return. Christmas came early boys.

         

        Sure, this may not be the rarest sight, but it’s still very nice to see. Ultimately Bomberman R 2 has brought us everything we like about bomberman and more and I hope we keep seeing more games like this make it to the US. Maybe even the “Bombergirl” game 😳 (I hope and yes, you should look up the Bombergirl game, it’s the kind of game that makes woke Twitter freaks cry).

         

         

         

         

        Whelp, hope you like my review, it’s not everything I wanted to write, and I’m leaving details out like Konami’s bomberman crossover characters like Solid Snake or Simon Belmont, but I wanted to leave it at this and say, Go play bomberman! I would like to contribute to G+G but that’s a bit of a pipedream for me. I just love to write about video games I play and hope people read my reviews and get excited to play them. 8/10 for this game. If you love Bomberman or just want a fun game, pick it up!

        As old as some of you are, I am sure everyone at some point has heard of Bomberman. Whether you played back on the on Super Nintendo (some cases, NES) or later on Gameboy Advance or GameCube or even the Xbox and PS3, Bomberman has withstood the test of time. Although Hudson Software (the original developers) was bought out by Konami, Bomberman has surprisingly lived on and to no surprise, Bomberman is back and better than ever and has been back since 2017 around the release of the switch.

        But what is Bomberman? He’s a fun robot that blasts blocks. While his objectives has went from reaching the surface to become a real boy to return in Lode Runner or in other cases he’s battling with an evil scientist or his black counterpart. In any case, Bomberman has no consistency with his stories and you could say each video game is its own universe and canon shifts based on which game you play.

        I personally believe this is what kept Bomberman fresh for so long. You never have to play the games in chronological order, you can just pick up a game and play. Sure, some of Bomberman’s more iconic characters or references are lost to time or with HudsonSoft’s buyout, but the spirit of the Bomberman franchise will never truly end (or at least I hope).

        With the newest iteration of Bomberman R (R standing for Reborn or Renewed) we see each Bomberman who had their own color now has their own look and personality to match which is new and actually is both refreshing and humorous. Bomberman has encompasses both goofy and serious moments, these characters feel like they’re straight out of an anime and I love every bit of it.

        White bomber is obviously the Leader and older brother, Black bomber surprisingly turns into Mr. suave, blue bomber the sleepiest robot I’ve ever seen, green bomber whose the baby brother with sneaky tendencies, yellow bomber is the carefree goofball, Red is the bomb happy burning passion of Fighting, Pink is the sweeter big sister, and Aqua is the quiet younger sister, and together they are the 8 bomber brothers with the exception of Karaoke Bomber whom I think is the original Pink bomber who was originally a character named Honey who had a looong history in Bomberman.

        Well anyways, this new iteration started in 2017 with Super Bomberman R and spoilers ahead: the return to the basics with the original evil scientist to fight Bomberman, Buggler (Bagura in Japan) who wants to take over the galaxy with Robots he reprogrammed. The held traditional 5 stages with 8 levels and a boss, truly traditional Bomberman.

        And of course after Super Bomberman R Online came and went (no one paid for the micropay BS)

        And 6 years after Super Bomberman R, we come to the sequel of Super Bomber R 2 which is honestly one of the best direct sequels to a game I have ever played.

        In this game, we are introduced to a new villain, Fusell and his minions known as The Lugion. A villain spanking across galaxies to collect creatures known as the Ellon for sinister purposes. The Bomberman brothers (that’s what they’re called now) come across the Ellon, baby like energy entities with the power energize equipment for various purposes. As cute as they are, they are definitely a handful as Fusell seeks to capture the Ellon while encountering the sinister looking creatures called The Lugion. This is where the story begins.

         

        This game is very different from other bomberman games where normally the objective was to defeat enemies in 8 round with a boss, now you’re traveling across three long stages to collect 100 Ellon in each stage and battling Lugion in Base defense and base infiltration. An entirely new concept for bomberman which is surprisingly intuitive and challenging but ultimately a FUN CONCEPT!

        I’m sure there are people who love or hate tower defense, but when applied to a series like bomberman, it is surprisingly intuitive and almost a match made in heaven. I have fun building defense stages and I get to infiltrate stages of the Lugion (and online as well). The rest of the story is you travelling across 3 planets with around 10-14 areas to explore and level up 15 levels for each planet all to battle a final boss on each level with a 4th and final boss which is Fusell.

        How to play: if you played one bomberman game, you’ve played them all. You bomb blocks to create paths and kill enemies, but you also have to place and move before the bomb explodes because your bombs can hurt you. The game works kind of like a puzzle. You bomb blocks to create paths, find power ups and use your bomb powers to blast your opponents with various techniques to block your enemies and blow them up.

        The game comes to a satisfying conclusion and actually the story carries some seriousness and moral questions in the story. Upon completion, you’ll find a surprise, a surprise that most games no longer offer: UNLOCKABLES. Unlockable characters with no extra cost, unlockable items with no additional cost, a bunch of in game only currency that requires NONE OF YOUR ACTUAL MONEY TO RECEIVE?! I THINK KONAMI FINALLY LEARNED WE DON’T LIKE MICROPAY?!?!

        Hell has frozen over, A big corporate company has finally learned that forcing micropay into our games won’t make us buy them! That’s right. All the in game unlockable don’t require extra money. Just you playing the game.

        It’s so refreshing to see this in this day and age. To think something we used to take for granted as kids is now making a fantastic return. Christmas came early boys.

        Sure, this may not be the rarest sight, but it’s still very nice to see. Ultimately Bomberman R 2 has brought us everything we like about bomberman and more and I hope we keep seeing more games like this make it to the US. Maybe even the “Bombergirl” game 😳 (I hope and yes, you should look up the Bombergirl game, it’s the kind of game that makes woke Twitter freaks cry).

        Tank Girl was an epically woke movie but not on the same level as it is today. It was a extremely OP girl boss Tank Girl. She was overly smart while acted very dumb. Hyper sexuality. Lots of Men Dumb, girl smart moments. The theme of the movie was about the environment. Man bad.
        But it was like I said a very fun movie to watch that did not insult you.
        I would recommend watching it. I might even do a movie review on it at some point.
        About naughty dog, that dog needed to be put down after they killed the Uncharted series by firing that woman that ran the show. A woman ran the show & she made the game balanced. Then Neil Cuckman took over & effeminized the studio & let all the girls & whatevers peg him. he sucks. Completely. I don’t know where he went wrong in the head after the OG Last Of Us, but man, did you play the spin off with Ely & her girlfriend? They were teenagers if I am not mistaken. I quit the game very early when I found out it was about teenage girls discovering “Themselves”
        Yes I know teenage girls, especially today “Discover themselves” in their teens, but I’m a grown ass man & I don’t want to play a coming of age game about teenage girls. It’s a little creepy, don’t you think Neil Cuckman?
        Let’s see what happens tomorrow with Starfield. I hope it’s decent or bad enough that I could farm cringe content.

        <p style=”text-align: left;”><p style=”text-align: left;”>I’m sure many have noticed the uptick in PlayStation hardcore fans becoming more and more delusional by the minute.</p>
        Despite the accuracy of PlayStation being the market leader in the console market, PlayStation has been losing more and more traction and still not making as much money as its competitors while simultaneously being investigated and sued by 3 countries for anti competitive business behavior which is in fact, illegal. Which goes without saying their censorship practices are all the more alienating their audience to other platforms, Japan being the prime example of boycotting.</p>
        Recently, PlayStation fans have taken up extreme cause to discredit Microsoft for their business practices which oddly enough, do follow the proper business practice compared to PlayStation. Microsoft, as you all know has been on an acquisition spree to obtain more IPs for their ongoing services for GamePass and Cloud based gaming which has shown some improvement over the last few years. Sadly, PlayStation fans have made up an excuse after excuse and making false accusations of anti consumer practices when Microsoft has made no such moves as of yet.

        This brings me to the first false claim: The ABK acquisition. Activision Blizzard King was recently and successfully ruled in Microsoft’s favor to close the deal which while is extending out for the UK deal, is confirmed in the US and every other country and it looks like the acquisition will go through even if the UK doesn’t agree because even if the UK backs out, Microsoft is willing to sell their cloud rights over the UK to allowed the acquisition through without their approval.

        PlayStation fans, however, made the false narrative that this acquisition would be blocked in the FTC ruling which as we all saw, The FTC had no case in pursuing in the first place and lost 25% funding as a result of the frivolous behavior in defending PlayStation, not the consumer (FTC neglects they work for the consumer, not PlayStation).

        After the backlash of PlayStation fans being wrong, many went on to delete social media accounts and then change their arguments to fit their anti Microsoft agenda which showed the gaming community how utterly ignorant they were to make their arguments in the first place.

         

        Even before this debacle, another was already in place for Starfield being exclusive to Xbox and PlayStation fans making the false narrative that it would be PlayStation exclusive when that simply wasn’t the case. The did not stop there, they went on with making a petition to make it exclusive after the fact Microsoft acquired the company whose making starfield. This brings us up to date where the fans have accepted they’ll not be getting starfield but at the same time won’t let their personal vendetta against Microsoft end as they have openly admitted, recently on Twitter, that they were making fake accounts to review bomb the game due to a lack of availability on their console. The level of delusions these fans are going through to make their agenda known to protect a company that quite literally hates them is simply disturbing, for lack of a better word.

        It doesn’t stop here though, more recently the fans have gone through another stage of coping by making a false claim of Baldur’s Gate 3 being a “PlayStation exclusive”…… You read that correctly, a current game that’s only been released on PC, somehow is a PlayStation exclusive to them. Last time I checked, no consoles have received a functional copy of this game on their platform, but magically, Baldur’s Gate 3 came to PlayStation exclusively? As you can see, the degeneracy they’ve fallen into has been nothing short of the mental illness of a group of consumers.

        But why am I bringing this up? Why have I chosen to give you a huge forum post about one particularly weird group of fanboys? Honestly, it’s for two reasons: One, I wanted to shed light on PlayStation fanboys and PlayStation. PlayStation fanboys are toxic little cretins who literally have the coping mechanism of a 5 year old and I detest PlayStation because they take advantage of their consumers, developers, third party developers, and spit on the consumer market. I am accepting of any platform that doesn’t pursue censorship or bad business.

        My second reason is that this behavior of bootlicking for corporations have become a nuisance to the gaming community as a whole. I get it, we all have platforms we like and we want them to stick around a bit longer. To me, the only company that is worthy of our respect is Nintendo. Not Microsoft (woke brand BS), Not PlayStation (woke and censoring games), but Nintendo. And sure, Nintendo isn’t making all the right choices, but Nintendo is the only company that has outspokenly stated: we would not arbitrarily censor a game (despite hiring localizers who did such a thing). Aside from changed language due to woke localization, censorship from Nintendo is nearly non existent. We continue to get fun and sexy games like Galgun and Senran Kagura without the extra censorship PlayStation adds in.

        Nintendo even hired Playboy at one time to make a Bayonetta photo shoot. Does Nintendo have more edge than PlayStation now? Indefinitely, yes.

        By all means we should continue to support Nintendo because at this point, Nintendo is still independent and still gives us the fullest games with the least to almost no censorship which is saying something.

         

        But I didn’t write this to talk about Nintendo, I brought this to your attention because I love gaming, I love the freedom to enjoy gaming, and I wanted you all to be aware of the industry, the communities, and really just wanted to have this conversation.

        I do think playstation delusional syndrome is real and only the most hardcore of fanboys can truly be considered among this claim.

        I’m sorry if this offends anyone who owns a PS5, but my statement stands that Playstation is a crap platform and we should all move forward with boycotting to another console because let’s face it, playstation isn’t going to stop stealing content from it’s consumers, it’s not going to stop being underhanded, it’s not going to do anything in favor of the consumer demand. Make the right choice, buy anything else that doesn’t censor.

        Thank you.

          This is one of the VERY few shows I kept up with and would wait for each episode to come out.

          The entire cast is almost all comedians.  So it’s super silly with a hint of seriousness.

          The entire show is about a small group of people trying to get along post a world killing virus.

          While they hint at a serious topic now and then the show really focuses on the silly things that could happen in such a situation.

          It’s really funny, sometimes thought provoking and just in general a good time.
