  NIER (PS3) 6.5/10 Hello everyone and welcome to another game review. Today, I’ll be going over a little game by famous game director Yoko Taro. Nier is a dual release game in Japan (Nier Gestalt for the Xbox 360 and Nier Replicant for the PS3). When the game was brought over to the West, they only brought over Nier Gestalt and changed the name to just “NIER”. NIER was released on April 27, 2010 for both Xbox 360 and PS3. The game was developed by Cavia Inc and published by Square Enix. Upon release, the game received mixed reviews, but that didn’t stop it from being a commercial success. As a huge fan of NieR:Automata, I was super stoked to play this. I was expecting the game to play similarly to Automata, and that’s where my disappointment began. NIER isn’t necessarily a bad game, but it just felt clunky in a lot of ways. I was engrossed with the story, but that can only take you so far if the gameplay is both monotonous and requires a lot from the player. Let’s begin. NIE...

  Durarara!!X2 (2015-2016) 7/10 Hello everyone and welcome back for another anime review. Durarara!!X2 is the second season of the series, with it being split up into three arcs. The season aired from March 10, 2015 - March 26, 2016, clocking in at a total of 36 episodes. I gotta say, this season was very entertaining, but disappointing. Let’s begin this clusterfuck of a season. Our story takes place 6 months after the events of the first season. Mikado and Anri are still attending Raira Academy, Masaomi and his girlfriend Saki run away together, Kadota and his little group are still doing their own thing, Izaya is still causing trouble as an info broker, Shizuo is still working for Tom, and Shinra is still living with The Headless Rider: Celty. All is well until a string of murders rock the city of Ikebukuro once again. The serial killer is nicknamed Hollywood and these murders will kickstart a new scheme by Izaya that will test and transform everyone in the city. By the end of it...

WALL-E (2008) 9/10 Hello everyone and welcome back to another movie review. Today, I’m going to go over not only my first Pixar movie, but one of my favorite movies of all time. WALL-E premiered at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles on June 23, 2008 with the director being Andrew Stanton, who did Finding Nemo. John Lasseter of Toy Story fame executive produced the movie. The movie was a massive hit and is regarded as a classic of the late-2000’s, with the movie even entering the National Film Registry. As I said earlier, WALL-E is one of my favorite movies of all time, and rewatching it now only solidified my feelings on this. As much as I would love to give this a perfect score, I can’t. I just don’t think the movie is strong enough for a rating like that. But don’t let that detract you from the fact that this movie is an awesome time, and an excellent warning about over-corporatization, taking care of the planet, and simple love between robots. The year is 2805. Far into the futu...

  Trigun [DUB] (1998) 9.5/10 “We're nothing like God. Not only do we have limited powers, but sometimes we're driven to become the devil himself.” -Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Hello everyone. Before I dive back into Durarara, I wanted to revisit one of the best anime to ever touch our screens: Trigun. Trigun is a Shonen anime that ran from April 1 - September 30, 1998, with the show clocking in at 26 episodes long, with Studio Madhouse producing the show. Trigun has a special place in my heart as this was one of the first anime that I watched back on Toonami and one of the first shows that I binged. Rewatching it now, I realized that I’ve been sleeping on this masterpiece of an anime. Let’s begin. Our story follows Vash the Stampede, the infamous outlaw with the $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head. With the nickname “The Humanoid Typhoon”, Vash has a tendency of leaving a trail of destruction through any town that he comes across, but not one person seems to be killed. Deemed as “the...

  Joseph: King of Dreams (2000) 5/10 Hello everyone. Today, I’ll be going over Joseph: King of Dreams. This movie was released on November 7, 2000 with the directors being Robert C. Ramirez and Rob LaDuca. The movie was also done by DreamWorks, who did Prince of Egypt before this. I gotta say right now, I’m not a fan of this movie. It just feels like events happening. It’s not actually conveying a story unlike Prince of Egypt. Let’s just jump into this. This story is an adaptation of the story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis. Joseph was born into a fairly large family in Canaan. His mother was told that she would not be able to have children, but through a miracle, Joseph was born. Because of this, he is favored by his parents, learning Egyptian and gaining knowledge for a better life. Because of this, his brothers grow jealous of this favoritism. One night, Joseph has a dream and learns that he can predict the future through these dreams and he can also interpret other peop...

  The Prince of Egypt (1998) 8/10 “Let my people go!” Hello everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing another movie. Today’s movie is The Prince of Egypt. Prince of Egypt was originally released on December 18, 1998 with Dreamworks being the animation studio behind it. The movie was directed by Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner, and Simon Wells. Now, I have seen this movie plenty of times in the past, but I had the sudden urge to rewatch it today. This movie is something else. It is something special that you don’t see a lot of times in cinema and this movie is special to me. Not many of you know, but I am fairly religious, with me being a believer of God and a fellow Christian. I just don’t like to bring this up because it causes fights and bullshit in the comments and I don’t want to deal with that. With that said, I will be a little bit biased towards this cause this was one of my favorite movies growing up. Let’s begin. This movie is an adaptation of the Book of Exodus from the Old Te...
