Dragon Age Origins (Vanilla) - Ranking Every Classes Specializations from Best to Worst

 

Lately I've been on a bit of a Dragon age kick and have played through the first game several times and have experimented with every type of specialization. Now, just for fun, I am going to give my opinion on which specialization, of each class, is the most useful to the least. Let me just say, there are no wrong classes or specializations to pick from, it's all about how you want to play or roleplay. I am basing these pick off how useful each one is in terms of making the game easier or harder. Click "read more".

Top 5 Video Games Would Benefit Greatly from Remakes

 

These days there have been a lot of remakes and remasters and a lot of them I feel are unnecessary because the originals are still very playable and fun. But, rather than debating old vs new, I'd like to talk about some games that I feel have not aged the best but have potential to still be great with modern quality of life updates. Click "read more" and let the countdown begin.

Hikari Sentai Maskman Ep. 1: The Mysterious, Beautiful Runaway - Summary/Review

 

Of all the 80s Super Sentai, this one I had been interested in the most. Primarily because I like the costumes and because of X1 Mask. But, other than that I am going into this blank. Click "read more" and let's begin this journey.

Tails Tube (Official Sonic Web-series) - A must see for Sonic Fans

 

It seems redundant to shout-out something far more popular than yourself, but recognition is never a bad thing. On the Official Sonic The Hedgehog YouTube Channel there is a mini series staring Tails that answers fan questions with help from rotating guest appearances from other Sonic characters. Tails Tube!

I have always loved Q&A segments due to my fascination of behind the scenes trivia and official canon explanations, and this is great for both. Sonic and his friends are some of those characters I love to hear talk in-between adventures and Tails fits the role of Vlogger perfectly. They even talk about Sonic Characters who have not been used in decades like Mighty and Fang. Seriously, to anyone who loves the Sonic world like we do and have somehow not heard of this series, please watch it, you will thank me later.

Christmas NiGHTS Into Dreams (Sega Saturn) - Quickie Review

 

This is a title I have been curious about for a long time. Released by Sega during the holiday seasons in limit run. It is basically a sequel/expansion to the original game with some impressive mechanics for the time. Click "Read more".

Sonic Jam (Sega Saturn) - Is More Than You Think!

 

One of the infamously known facts about the Sega Saturn is that it lacked a proper Sonic game after Sonic X-Treme was canceled. It had an enhanced port of the Genesis' Sonic 3D Blast, an on foot racing game that was unpopular, and Sonic was playable in Christmas Knights into Dreams. Then, there was Sonic Jam which many people brush off as a simple collection game with a 3D hub world. That is partially true, but there is more to this title than a lot of people know.

Weird Al Straight Outta Lynwood (2006) - Album Review

 

This is a personal matter for me because this was my first album I owned. I was in middle school, and begged my Dad for this CD/DVD and listen to it loads. Even now in my 30s I still listen to some of the tracks from time to time and it has been years since I reviewed an album so, why not look back just for fun. Click "read more" for my review.

ISS (2024) - Summed Up and Quickie Review

 

It is difficult to pin down exactly how I felt seeing this movie. Some moments had great writing but a lot is left up to interpretation which can be a turn off to some. It is fascinating to watch, but there is actually not a whole lot going on when putting it to paper. I will keep spoilers to a minimum. Click "read more".

Arcade Classics (Sega Genesis) - Mini-Review

A ramble about Writers block/fatigure

 

You know what, writers block really sucks. Especially when you are not out of ideas.

Tempo - The Forgotten Sega Trilogy

 

Three games on 3 different Sega systems, never had much of a chance. Developed by Red Company, the same company who brought us the Bonk's Adventure series and Sakura Taisen. Tempo is a music loving grasshopper and one of my personal favorite forgotten Sega characters/series so I decided to give a brief history of his 3 games. Click "read more".

5 Things I Liked in Power Rangers Ninja Steel

 

Ninja Steel is not a very good incarnation of Power Rangers. The writing reeks of melodrama and plot conveniences, character development favors Brody far too much, and the failed Bulk and Skull wannabes Victor and Monty. But, ranting is easy, I'd rather look at the positives and list 5 things I like about Ninja Steel. (My opinion.) Click "read more".

But, before that, I will list my current 5 favorite games on the system. (Subject to change later down the line.)

5 Unappreciated Video Games That need a Sequel But May Never Get One

Anyone who has been gaming for awhile has more than likely experienced this. A gam or series that it feels like you are the only one that still cares about and want to see return. However, it is especially upsetting when those games have an unfinished story or unrealized potential. Here are 5 games that fit that description for me. Click "read more". 

TMNT Talk: Should Venus ever return?

 

Missing since 1997

A lesser known incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is its 1997 life action series called Ninja Turtles The Next Mutation. Lasting only 1 season, the show never took off in ratings or fans and is mostly forgotten aside from a crossover with the Power Rangers In Space. However, what stood out the most about this adaptation was the inclusion of a 5th female turtle named Mei Pieh Chi or Venus for short who has not been used since the shows cancelation besides a few comic cameos. Now, I know Venus most likely will never make a full return because of marketing and lack of interest, but should she? Click "read more" for my take.
