The Partisanship Bubble

Well hello everyone, I'm taking a crack at a political blog post, this may either get nasty very quickly or something that's rather sobering for many. Have you noticed that in politics today we are very divided? Many of you probably rolled your eyes and said to yourself or out loud "Gee, ya think?" and some of you sighed in sadness as it is very disheartening to acknowledge the fact that we are very divided when it comes to our politics. How it has happened, I think, is from the one thing both the members of the Democratic and Republican party have in common, a bubble. A bubble of selected information from a particular source of information and a group of friends or acquaintances that share similar political views and opinions. Those on both sides have decided to escape into these bubbles, not wanting to have anything to do with the other people outside of their own bubbles. We do not want to put ourselves in the shoes of others, not understanding why ...

Batman: Arkham Knight(PS4) Review (Spoilers!)

Oh yeah, I am really really late to the party with this review! Much like DOOM, I'm here now to review what is yet again another wonderful game. Ever since the first Arkham game no series has ever done such justice to an iconic super hero like this. It is a series I will say has given consistent quality gameplay and with each new entry making you feel more like Batman. Alas, it pains me to say that this is the last entry into the Arkham series (Yes I know Arkham VR is coming but I doubt it'll be a sequel to Arkham Knight) and it is amazing to look at this game, think about the original Arkham Asylum game and be amazed as to how far the series has come. This is how it ended....this is how the Arkham series concluded It's Time to go to War We find Gotham in the after-math of the Joker's death, following Arkham City. Crime has gone down and it seems like Gotham is in a time of peace. That is, until Scarecrow attacks. Scarecrow threatens the city with a ...

Fallout 4(XB1) Review

This is a super late to the party review! I sat on this review for awhile because it took me awhile to complete the main story with a faction of the Commonwealth and I also wanted to wait until Mods were released and how they worked out. With both of those checked off the list and a calculated 3 days and 23 hours put into the game, both regular and modded Fallout 4 delivers on a more immersive RPG survival game with many changes and improvements to aspects of the Fallout series but is lacking in certain areas. Welcome to the Commonwealth! Fallout 4 begins on the day the bombs fell, the day when the world panicked in order to scramble towards the vaults to stay safe from the nuclear holocaust above. Our main character is put on ice, frozen until the world has been rebuilt. We all unfortunately know how the world rebuilding thing goes... Mean while our character is frozen, out of nowhere two strangers are seen breaking into the vault and kidnapping our infant son away fr...

DOOM(2016) PS4 Review

This is very much a late to the party review seeing as how DOOM was released a month ago and I didn't finish the game until a few days ago but I'm here now to review the game and oh man oh man was this a fun experience. If this game had been released back in the nineties you can be sure parents would have flipped their lid even more with the fact that this game exists. This is DOOM The Invasion of Mars For those of us that have played the original DOOM games (DOOM to DOOM 64) there has never been much of a story. You were just a marine that happened to be the soul survivor on the UAC base during a demonic invasion and fighting your way through the base all the way into the depths of Hell. DOOM 2016 introduces a story and a new origin story for the DOOM marine. The story goes over what the UAC was doing on Mars, how the invasion happened and who exactly the DOOM marine is. What I like about the story is that it's totally optional to what you want from your DO...

Top 7 Games to play during Summer 2016!

Oh boy oh boy have I been looking forward to writing another one of these again. Summer time is here and for many us the time has come to plan out trips to Disneyland, see relatives, go out to eat or get together snacks, drinks and a good rack of ribs to put on the Barbecue over the weekend for some quality summer cook-outs with a cold soda or beer to relax the day away. While this is going on, some of us out there are also thinking about what games to play over the summer to kill some time until the cookouts start and the trips to head out to Disneyland begin. There are quite the number of games out there that'll be a nice way to either kill some time over the summer or to have a fun day in to avoid the heat. Now for this list we'll actually be taking a trip back in time for some of these games so hopefully you guys and gals have these games either on hard drives or lying around in your game library. Here are the 7 games to play during the summer for 2016! 7. DOOM(201...

Dark Souls 3(XB1) Review

Ah, Dark Souls. A game series that is riddled with both admiration, fear and hatred. It is a series that I admit missed out on while it was very popular. When it first came out I did not play it. Not because I was afraid of it because of how difficult people said it had been or because of how skill one had to be in order to play it, simply put, I just never got around to playing it. I have since played both the original and the sequel and I would consider myself a mild fan of the series, mostly because I have not beaten either the first or second game in the series. With the third entry, my goal was to squeeze the most out of the game, go everywhere and explore as much as there was to explore. Go fully confident in abilities to take on the giant monster at the end of the tunnel where a set of armor or awesome weapon was waiting for me. Oh my god what an experience! This is Dark Souls 3! Lothric Nights  Like previous Dark Souls entries and Bloodborne, the story in Dark...

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare(XB1) Review

I have to admit I was pretty surprised to see how well this game was made. Granted there are still a lot of the typical CoD tropes in the game but I'm actually pretty glad to say I had fun with this. Thank god it was nothing like Call of Duty Ghosts!!! Power Changes Everything Advanced Warfare takes place in 2054. Modern military units are equipped with Exoskeleton Suits or Exo-Suits for short. Your standard infantry man or woman can jump to high ground in an instant or dash away from enemy fire without a single bullet grazing them. You play as Jack Mitchell, a soldier once fighting for the United States Military but is approached by Jonathan Irons, father of Mitchell's recently deceased best friend. You are brought into the private military company Atlas, an organization that has proven to be more successful in stabilizing regions and win the wars that other nations could not. As the story progresses you find that not all is perfect as we learn that Irons is not...
