Netflix, Cut the SHIT!

By Corey Floyd

Netflix, you have been doing really well for the past few years. You've had some great original series; House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and a great show with Chelsea, but today I can’t help but notice you have been dropping the ball and letting Hollywood play you for fools. Buying meh movies for big money is a problem. 

If you noticed the cover of this article has a poor done CGI Woody Woodpecker on it. No, its not fan art, sadly it’s one of the streaming services recently added movies. These ten-million-dollar crap jobs are not even good enough to keep kids distracted in my opinion. Not worth the keystrokes to even review. I hope they did spend too much money acquiring this cause it’s not worth it.

The Cloverfield Paradox was Netflix shooting itself in the foot. The other two films in the franchise were mysterious and excellent. They were also great from a business aspect with low budgets but and big profits. This franchise is from Paramount and something went wrong cause they did not want to release it in theaters. Netflix bought it for fifty million dollars and since it costs forty-five million to make so Paramount walks away up five million. Meanwhile Netflix goes “Balls Deep” into a super bowl ad telling viewers it will be available after the game. Ad time during the big game was five million for thirty seconds, and the trailer was a minute long. The film was mediocre. But, in comparison to the other two films, it was an insult. It’s obvious that this was an entirely different film that was changed with re-shoots to make it a Cloverfield movie. It seems like they sold out views for substance.

  

Remember Reboot? CGI show ran from 1994 to 2002 and was way ahead of its time in visuals for a Saturday morning cartoon. When there was talk to reboot I was very excited. Then I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8B5dqjsZUs

What the hell is this? What’s with all the live action crap? The Show was about the world inside the computer and the characters were programs. Now you got what...

sounds like a superhuman samurai cyber squad. Did you see Megabyte? How do we get into the future and make things looks worse?

He looks better in 1994 than he does in 2018. Stop pissing on  my memories Netflix

Maybe I'm just noticing a few flaws maybe it's a fluke. I mean there are still some great originals coming out. Altered Carbon is a great crime Noire in the 30th century and Everything Sucks is hilarious. Plus, I'm still looking forward to the return of other great shows. I just need Netflix to stop messing up. I still haven't forgot what y'all did to Deathnote tho. Stop messing up Netflix.

Let the Hunt Begin Monster Hunter World Review By Luiggi Cavanna

This game is like Dark Souls meets.. WAIT! where are you going? I was just joking don’t go!! I’m sorry but I had to make the joke, come on. To be fair there’s a lot people that are new to this franchise that might make that comparison but don’t just go get your hunting horn and try to squash them just yet. This is good, we have new people interested in this game and that was the goal that Capcom had in mind. This game made so many drastic changes from previous sequels to attract more people in the western market and at the same time kept most of the formula that made Monster Hunter the game that it is. Monster Hunter is back giving us a perfect balance between old and new that honestly (spoiler alert for the rest of the review) seems perfect to me.

 

Welcome to Monster Hunter World!!

I have to say, Monster Hunter World is a breath of fresh air for the franchise. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Monster Hunter, but it was in serious need for an update to some of the mechanics and is also nice to see Monster Hunter back to home consoles again and not just been trapped in the 3DS.

Also finally seeing the monsters in high definition in a big screen is really imposing

For those that do not know and are new to the franchise, Monster Hunter is an action RPG that focus primarily in the grinding aspects of the genre. You go out and fight monsters, carve them for parts and materials, build armor and weapons out of said parts and materials, and go out hunting again for better parts. Your progression is tied in to this system, you do not level, nor does your character get stronger, you just get better equipment. That does not mean that you’re going to be the same by the end of the game though, your character might not level but you do. Monster Hunter World is a game that rewards skill play, and by the end game all the experience that you’ve acquired through your playthrough will pay off.

I mean, LOOK at this “Attack on Titan” shenanigans!! It’s amazing!

Also I have to add that there’s no classes but instead you can choose between fourteen different weapon types and you can switch them at any time in your main hub or in camp while you’re on a mission. There’s no “better weapon” in the game, they just provide different play styles for everyone. The weapons had some changes made to them that has giving us a more dynamic game play. In the last game in the series we had different styles for each weapons and super attacks, but to be honest it just felt like they were running out of ideas and it felt gimmicky, just like the option of playing as your Palico (The cat companion that helps you when you’re hunting solo). Those mechanics are gone and to be honest I don’t miss them.

By the way, Palicos are AWESOME! And you can customize them just like your hunter

Monster Hunter World is an amazing game and  a long awaited update to the monster hunter formula. If you haven’t play any monster hunter games in the past and you are apprehensive in getting into this franchise, don’t worry! This game was designed to bring new people to the franchise and it is also a great addition to it. So if you’re new or a veteran hunter, it doesn’t matter this game is great and I don’t see any reason to pass this one over, except if you’re not into "grindy" games because as I said at the beginning, you hunt, carve, make equipment, repeat.

As a Monster Hunter veteran, I enjoy how gathering has been streamline. You can gather most things while moving, and you don’t have to load sections of the map. In previous games the map will be divided in instances that you had to load separately. Now the whole map loads instantly and that gives the world this feeling of being alive. Also another thing that helps with that feeling is the fact that monsters interact with each other and have territorial battles. I totally recommend this game and with the returning tradition of free DLC, the life of the game seems bright. So have you played Monster Hunter World? What do you think of the changes? Let us know. Now I return to the deepest darkest corners of my dwelling. Good-bye for now my friends.

 Aye, before you leave if you want to see me play join my twitch HERE

Gaslight gets Greenlight! Movie Reveiw (some spoiler) By Corey Floyd

Gotham by Gaslight was a one shot made back in 1989. It shows a 19th century gotham and of course a 19th century Batman.  It was super popular and have received a sequel. Both were written by Mike Mignola most know for the Hellboy series. Now we fast forward to 2018 were it has been adapted into animated movie. It was directed by Sam Liu who has been under for the confusing take on The Killing Joke. That hiccup has been forgotten with this trip to another timeline.  

In this story Gotham is being plagued by the most infamous serial killer of all time Jack the Ripper. In this tale of “Who did it” we see a lot of familiar DC faces.  Selina Kyle (above) is still a badass being played by Jessica Carpenter.      We get a surprise easter egg with not one but three Robins as wayward orphans  who play a small role in the film.  The film starts with the death of one of my favorite villains (OOPS SPOILER!!). If you have never heard of this film your gonna have a real good time watching it it's suspenseful and of course action packed. If you loved the comic you will be fan as well. Make sure you go out and buy or download it today. Jack the Ripper VS. The Dark Knight 8/10. Oh cool story DID YOU KNOW there was suppose to be a game about this story  ? its true hit this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65IsSRMi4i0 Thats it from me this week but be sure to check us out on youtube. Next Dc animated film has already released a title I dont wanna give anything away but. Looks like the squad is back together!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPZZvk-wbGE
