Awkward Bruce and Dr. Strange

So it's been a while and it's mainly because of work but I also am trying to make videos of the games I'm currently playing. I have all the software for capturing and editing, but finding the time and motivation is really hard.

I could talk about the election but I only want to allude to these things with comic/pop-culture/video game parallels and metaphors, so I won't. All I can say is that it was close and it was interesting.

Anyways, the video I have here today comes from Telltale's Batman series. I decided to go silent Bruce and Batman at all times and instead of mysterious, it just borders on awkward turtle. I'll try to make more cuts, but I wanted to just test the waters. The editing is still really shaky but I'll try to get better, I promise. The jump cuts were meant to be, I promise!

In other news, I did watch Marvel's Dr. Strange this past weekend. It was a good, solid movie but I am no way familiar with Dr. Strange, his origins, or his powers. So it was nice to learn about a superhero on the big screen rather than try and compare to their paperback brethren.

[Spoilers...kinda!]


I still don't get why Stephen Strange couldn't heal his hands and save the world. I mean there are so many books and spells, at least one of them had to be a heal spell. Maybe I'm coming from my stubborn jRPG roots, but a mage should be able to heal. It's like the first spell they learn. Or could it be that Marvel is sexist and only promotes the terrible idea that only women fit the bill of healers?

I think they tried to explain this by saying the dude who healed his legs is using all his magic to keep his legs moving, but he was like a foot soldier. I'm sure if he rose a few more ranks he would be able to have permanently healed his condition.

Anyways, hope you like the video! Enjoy!

Dark Souls 3 Review

The fear of the unknown. Taking that first crucial step into a new area. I know a lot of people who travel, but only to places that have been thoroughly traveled and explored. When people go on vacation it's never to a deserted island, but to a major city or hub with things to see and do. Heck, most people's greatest fear is to be stranded on a deserted island...alone. We like to feel safe-even when it means things are boring. True adventure requires us to abandon safety and embrace risk. Only with high risk will we find high reward. Dark Souls is a game that asks you to take that risk. A phrase you will see early and often during your first playthrough I finally finished Dark Souls 3 a few days ago and found myself feeling the same feeling I've had with all the other entries in the series-a sense of relief. Not because the game was bad, but because the game tested me as a gamer. It frustrated me, it tricked me, and it bested me at times. But all it took, lik...

Dark Souls 3 The Fire Fades (Ringed City DLC)

If there is any franchise that I've talked more about on this blog besides Batman, it would be FromSoft's Dark Soul series. In fact, if FromSoft somehow acquired the rights to use Batman's likeness in Souls game, I would claim that to be the best game ever made before even playing it. Sadly, with the release of the newest DLC for Dark Souls 3, "The Ringed City," the franchise seems to be at a end. It doesn't look like the same team will be  working on a new one for some time.  And while I love the Dark Souls series (even the spiritual successor that got lost with time, Demon's Souls), I can't help but be glad that it's over. This may seem like a weird thing to say from a self-proclaimed rabid fan but hear me out. When Dark Souls came out, it redefined a genre by taking gaming back to its roots. Nothing was clear cut when it came to progressing through the game, and while it did cause some frustration to the uninitiated, the game co...

Comic Grab Bag Part 6: What If...Daredevil Was The Disciple Of Doctor Strange? Issue #83

Comic Grab Bag Part 6: What If...Daredevil Was The Disciple Of Doctor Strange? Issue #83 The "What If..." comics were a series of comics crossovers that took different superheroes and changed their scenarios and origins. . They were usually one shot comics that were all non-canon and just for fun. They had very interesting combinations like if Spider-man joined the Fantastic Four (or Fantastic Five  because of him) or if Wolverine was the Lord of the Vampires. From one shots, they gradually changed into  full fledged story arcs exploring alternative choices of main Marvel storyline events. An example being What If...Wolverine went back in time to kill Hank Pym which ultimately stopped Ultron from being created. That specific story lasted many issues focusing on several superheroes and new events. Also, fun fact: during the mid 90's DC and Comics set up a shared printing company called Amalgam Comics which took DC characters and Marvel characters and mashed them u...
