World of Warcraft: The Pointlessness in Class (Re-)Design
Since being a player of World of Warcraft from Wrath of the Lich King, I became accustomed to the idea of how Blizzard will revamp classes each expansion. It’s natural in any RPG where as characters increase in power, so do the way they behave. In an expansion, that would mean adding abilities to show…

X-Men: Why The Movie Franchise is Failing
Although I haven’t seen the new X-Men movie yet, I don’t have an incredible desire at this point. From most reviews, it’s pretty much a meh movie. I wasn’t impressed with most of the cast choices when they were on the previous year’s Comic Con panel (Jubilee and Cyclops by far were the worst). But…

Prometheus: New Review After Re-Watch
Last night I decided to re-watch Prometheus. I enjoy having a decent movie in the background while doing something once in a while. Prometheus is a great background movie because the movie is good and there’s some great scenes that I enjoy watching. So how does it stack up versus my initial few times watching?

World of Warcraft: Pre-Legion Thoughts
I haven’t written on World of Warcraft for a while now. Although I occasionally play it from time-to-time and periodically check out new features for the upcoming Legion expansion, for the most part I’ve been uninterested and unmotivated in playing. I do keep up in watching some streams but despite some of the hype, I’m…

Game of Thrones: What Will Euron Greyjoy’s Role be in Season 7?
In season 6, Euron Greyjoy made a pretty quick, but critical impact upon arriving, slaying his brother Balon and later claiming the Iron Islands for himself. As his niece and nephew flee to join Daenerys’ forces, Euron instructs the rest of the Iron Born to construct him a fleet of a thousand ships. From that…

Game of Thrones: Did Jon Snow Avenge the Red Wedding?
In Season 6 Episode 10, the Northern lords gather to proclaim Jon Snow the King of the North. After Lady Mormont shames the lords and declares her allegiance to Jon Snow, other lords quickly rise to join her. I believe Lord Manderly states that Jon Snow “avenged the Red Wedding.” While the scene is powerful…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 10 The Winds of Winter Review
The show starts off with the trial of Ser Loras Tyrell where he is tried for essentially being gay. He admits to his guilt and accepts his fate in casting away the Tyrell name. Virtually, everyone important is at the Sept except Tommen, Ser Robert Strong, Qyburn, Pycelle and Cersei Lannister. Because it also is…

Game of Thrones: Dark Sansa Emerges
Many people were severely disappointed in Sansa Stark’s story arc in Season 5 where many people expected Sansa to start playing the Game of Thrones and manipulate those around her. Instead, her story takes two twists from the book where she gets married off to Ramsay Bolton and worse yet relentlessly raped. So rather than…

Game of Thrones: The Great Game
Tyrion finally will get to his quote about “The Great Game” in Episode 10 of season 6. But what exactly is the Great Game? Why should Daenerys be terrified? And why is Tyrion encouraging her to be terrified?

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 9 Battle of the Bastards Review
Easily, the most anticipated episodes of the season, Battle of the Bastards certainly lived up to and perhaps exceeded all hype. Certainly, this episode is not for the weak of heart, especially once we get to the North. Director Miguel Sapochnik is becoming my go-to director for creating intense, heart palpitating moments, considering he already…
