Going where several other blogs have gone before.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a…scantily clad festive Tharja masquerading as an armored unit? Fire Emblem Heroes is no stranger to seasonal celebrations and alts. Let it be brides in springtime or (curiously) pirates in the twilight days of summer, the game has… Continue reading The Wonder of Fire Emblem Heroes’ First Christmas
The late 1900’s was truly where a number of modern horror films had gained their baseline. Hot off the heels of the 60’s darlings such as Night of the Living Dead or Rosemary’s Baby came an advent of movies that really defined horror as a genre. Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho is touted as being one of the earliest examples of a slasher,… Continue reading 1974: A Prognostic Year of Horror in Film
To say media of cutesy things that appear targeted to a younger audience being subverted into something terrifying, violent, and coarse is a trope that’s been beaten to the ground that it no longer has any impact is an understatement. It used to be a novel concept; just take something that appears childish and cute… Continue reading Review and analysis on the effective horror of Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared
Hello and welcome to the Story Arc, I'll be your host for the evening: Skeith! Something that every Kingdom Hearts fan has debated over the years is which keyblade design is the best. Most people have a favorite keyblade or even a top 10 favorite keyblades but very few people have decided to formulate their… Continue reading Every Kingdom Hearts Keyblade Ranked: Part 1 (#1-#69)
Let me preface by saying that Fire Emblem Heroes is a mobile game that is dear to me as a longtime fan of the series. Though gacha is inherently predatory in its reliance on FOMO to nab sales, I like to think for a game that falls under the very same banner of Fate/Grand Order… Continue reading The Hilarious Fault of Fire Emblem Heroes’ Battle Pass
Birds are an allegory that encapsulate a number of ideas in fiction. From Alfred Hitchcock’s avian assault film to blue birds in David Bowie’s Lazarus, it seems the central focus is all the same, or at least similar; birds represent an outside, freedom and the unknown. To let go like the fleeting memory of Lenore… Continue reading The Flighting Imagery of Birds in NEO: The World Ends With You
I’ve been in the Vocaloid community almost long enough to be a card-carrying member. It started with stumbling on a few Miku tuned covers of video game tracks (who knew a virtual singer could cover a fan rendition of the Final Fantasy theme so well?) and spun off into a more than passive interest that… Continue reading Nine Songs I Would Like to See Covered in Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage (And Their Respective Groups)
The best fan roster a Pokemon game can have
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is incredibly dear to me (just take a look at my multiple past articles on the topic. It’s the one series I’ve written the most articles about on this entire site). One of the biggest highlights of the series lies in its stand abilities; those classic rock named powers that are home… Continue reading 5 Stands in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure that are Hilariously Similar
Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the choice of thumbnail, it was needed to convey exactly which topic I wanted to explore today. Just the sight of Sayori’s bedroom has become memetic even to those who have barely had a brush with the game’s plot, and has become synonymous with the horrors that become more… Continue reading The Significance of Rooms in Doki Doki Literature Club
Cassandra Peterson (born September 17, 1951 in a presumably haunted Kansas county) is Elvira. Not to state the obvious, but what I found fascinating in my research is that due to her owning and licensing the character of Elvira (since it is legally, well, herself) all of the money made in her appearances, either… Continue reading Elvira: Film Preservation or Bust
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a series that is marked by it’s very...er, devoted fanbase. That is to say, the rampant classic rock video takeovers, the endless spam of memes that burned out their lifespan the moment they hit the screen (was kono dio da ever funny?), the honestly impressive cosplays and posing proves the community… Continue reading What’s going to happen to JoJo Fridays? A look back into their importance to the fandom
I love Bayonetta. Ever since discovering the series on the WiiU with the 1+2 combo pack (some start, I know), I’ve been hooked on the series sense of style, gameplay, and of course completely ridiculous and over the top boss fights. Something about that eight-foot-tall giraffe woman owning her sexuality with hack and slash gameplay… Continue reading Where in the World is Bayonetta 3!: A Hideki Kamiya Story
Tomorrow Nintendo will be hosting another long awaited Nintendo Direct. This direct is all but guaranteed to show off at least one DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. So what better way to celebrate than talking about characters who we know will never get in Smash but we really want anyway. Yes that's right,… Continue reading 5 Characters who will NEVER be in Super Smash Brothers
SPOILER DISCLAIMER: The general review portions of this article will contain spoilers for up to the Factory segment Let me make one thing clear: Resident Evil Village is 2021’s game of the year. That is not to say that it's the best game that will come out this year, though it might be. What I… Continue reading Resident Evil 8 Review: Streamlined Journey Through Shadow
