I enjoy criticizing things. You will find me criticizing things all over the internet, but never outside of it, because I am never outside of it.
I'm an aspiring critic, so my thoughts on various subjects such as anime, video games, or movies will be more notably negative than the average person's. I tend to be harsh with things that I find cliché, as it is one of the more discouraging things to face in whatever medium. The same can be said about trends, such as a particular setting, a specific character type, or the inclusion of nostalgia/"paying homage" to a previous work in a particular series. See, for example: Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Ghostbusters (2016), Jurassic World, among others.
Outside of critiquing, I'm an avid storyteller, football (Americano) fanatic, gamer, and all-around artistically-minded simpleton. Easily fascinated by nature while refusing to interact with it outside of the home. That's the kind of hypocrisy one can expect from me. I am also the funniest person I've ever known.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to visit my profile.
Norm of the North Actually Got a Sequel and It’s Glorious
I watched Norm of the North with my brother early last month, perfectly aware of the reputation it has as one of the worst animated films in the existence of time (that’s the magic, really). While it was definitely very bad, I didn’t find it to be as bad as everyone else seemed to think it was; merely an inadequate picture with really unfunny jokes and a juvenile storyline. Upon finishing it, I made the horrifying discovery that a sequel actually existed, and thus, the search for “terribad” content continued forward.
And by the power vested in me as a purveyor of terribad content, Norm of the North: Keys to the Kingdom is an exquisite masterpiece. Continue reading “Norm of the North Actually Got a Sequel and It’s Glorious”
Writer’s Block Takes Hold – An Update
Five days after I acknowledged that I’ve become somewhat disheartened with the quality of my recent posts (a few have been good, a few others not so much), I’ve come to conclude that some days I’m literally forcing things out prematurely. This whole “publish things daily’ was a great challenge for some time, but in my current juncture of life, my motivation has dulled to the preference of other activities. Basically, I’ve run out of solid ideas that I want to write, instead opting to write for the sake of it, which is no bueno. Continue reading “Writer’s Block Takes Hold – An Update”
I Still Wish to Review People – a Callback to a Former Self
The desire has not subsided. While the thought may leave my consciousness, the passion for personal analysis resonates with a powerful glow. Continue reading “I Still Wish to Review People – a Callback to a Former Self”
Goku in Smash Bros. No Longer Seems so Far-Fetched
Goku will never make it into Super Smash Bros. That’s what I always told myself around the time Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out and the pleas from Dragon Ball Z fans became relevant upon the addition of Snake as a guest character. Why the hell would they add Goku? He’s not even a video game character. On top of that, Super Smash Bros. is a celebration of Nintendo characters. Snake is only a one-time guest. You stupid idiots. Goku will never be in the game. Ever. Ever.
Fast forward ten-plus years. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has opened the floodgates to inviting a seemingly endless list of participants through their DLC additions. Their most recent addition is Joker from Persona 5, who became playable two days ago. Joker from Persona 5? Well… that’s interesting. Continue reading “Goku in Smash Bros. No Longer Seems so Far-Fetched”
Traveling Thoughts on World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (Eversong Woods)
A few disclaimers before we move forward:
- Traveling Thoughts is a means of putting down my thoughts in a bit-by-bit process that will eventually lead up to a formal review of the overall subject. These posts will be more personal than objective, though one should expect a good amount of both as is my personality of habit.
- These posts will absolutely contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.
Like with Azuremyst Isle, Eversong Woods has the benefit of the “new bias,” such that the area is given extra attention by developers as part of a brand new expansion designed to appeal to new and old players alike. Despite this, I don’t recall ever finding the questing area for the blood elves all that interesting or fun. It wasn’t until I matured that I came to realize just how detailed and varied Eversong Woods is. Continue reading “Traveling Thoughts on World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (Eversong Woods)”
Entries from the Dead: Natsu no Arashi Akinaichuu/Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead
These two series have quite a bit in common—if not directly through their structures or stories, my history with both sure are eerily similar. Continue reading “Entries from the Dead: Natsu no Arashi Akinaichuu/Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead”
