Maybe it's not so bad After the surprise announcement yesterday, I wrote a post about the 2DS and I basically said it was a waste of time. But after having some time to think about it. I can see its merits. Price - I think that the fact that the console doesn't include 3D obviously makes it cheaper to produce and that means it can have a cheaper retail price than the 3DS.  The Target Audience - It's not meant for me. I think that is why I was struggling to understand it. This console is for the children that want a 3DS but are  not old enough to utilize the 3D feature. Moreover, this console is targeted at the parents. They are always going to be looking for a good deal. This offers that. They can buy the console and  not worry about any possible health risk that the 3D may have on their children. Also, there is another audience for this console. People that want a 3DS but aren't bothered about the 3D and just want to play the games and use the featur...

Yet another nonsensical Nintendo move. This time it's a console that nobody needs or actually wants. A 3DS THAT CAN'T FOLD OR PLAY GAMES IN 3D? No. Nintendo. Stop doing these silly things. Nobody has demanded this. The 3D slider on the 3DS is already the answer. Most people don't play with 3D all the way on or don't play with it at all. Making a console without it is just a waste of time and resources. I think Nintendo should be putting those resources into future console development. This console just going to be ignored. The only word I could think of when I found out. What do you think of the announcement of the 2DS? Will you be buying one?

Me in front of my Laptop. BLANK, BLANK AND MORE BLANK. I got nothing, nada, nil, zilch... . you get the idea. Basically I have reached a brick wall. I just can't be bothered to write anything. I think they call it writer's block. The thing about that is....I don't consider myself to be a writer. So, what's the problem? I think it may lie in the subjects I choose to write about. I was writing about the Ben Affleck as Batman story. But I can't keep writing about it because it's old news now. Also in relation to film. 2013 has been a monumentally slow year in film compared to last year. So I don't have that many films to talk about. I also have a problem with games. All of the games I currently own , I have already completed and the games I want to play are all being released from September onward. In the mean time, what can I write about? In terms of comics, I can't write about comics I don't have yet. I have quite a bit of catching up to ...

BATFLECK!! BEN AFFLECK AS BATMAN!! WHAT?!?! My face when I found out. It seems like Zac Snyder wants to become the new Brett Ratner. He seems to want  to make comic book fans angry. Ben Affleck as Batman? Are you kidding me? No. Just no. When I say that he is becoming Brett Ratner,  I mean he is taking something beloved by the comic book community and ruining it. As much I thought Man of Steel was an improvement on Superman Returns. It could have been better. By adding Batman to the mix, it makes some of the things that were unique about the Man of Steel questionable. Namely, if there is no Kryptonite in this universe, how would Batman stand a chance against Superman? Unless they are going the Dark Knight Returns route ending in the formation of the World's Finest. Even if that is the case, BEN AFFLECK BEING BATMAN IS CRAY CRAY!!! Back to the Brett Ratner comparison. I think this new film is going to be disappointing. Not just because of the Ben Affleck casting but ...

Meet Bruce Wayne Welcome back the Son of Krypton No. Just no. It cannot be! He is not a good choice.  Just when I thought DC/WB were picking up momentum after the Dark Knight Trilogy and the Man of Steel, then they announce this? I'll tell you something right now. This film isn't going to be anywhere near as good as Man of Steel, so it won't be troubling Aveners: Age of Ultron at all.  I don't think the film will suck because of him being cast in it. I'm just going to find it harder to take the film seriously or as a serious contender against the might of the Marvel cinematic universe. But of course, only time will tell. Don't get me wrong, I like Ben Aflleck. I just don't think he is superhero material, much less The Caped Crusader. I mean, we only have to look at history to tell us why he isn't the best choice. Yes, I am talking about Daredevil. That absolutely shocking shambles of a film did his reputation no favors. I remem...

There are a lot of ways to watch films. Some films deserve the best and others just don't. I want to outline so films and the only way to view. Torrent/Pirate - Let's be honest, we all do it. There are some films that you may be afraid to spend money on. This is where the torrents come in. People try to pretend like they don't use them. But we all have that specific place we know to go in order to torrent anything. Films that you only torrent: Anything with Channing Tatum , Fast & Furious films, Green Lantern, Daredevil, the Fantastic Four films, X-Men films and the Transformers films. Films of that nature. TV/DVR - You have this category for films you want to see but, you don't want to pay to watch. These films are the films that might fill your DVR's or might just wait until it comes on TV because you aren't really that bothered about when you see it. Of course there are loads of great movies on the TV and I am sure your DVR (if you use one) is full o...

This will be quick. I just want to say, In relation to my posts about Video Games, I love everything about gaming, but when I write anything, it's just what I think. My opinion. I don't want to come across as a Troll, and if you think that I am, I apologise  for that. Everything I write, I write because that's what I think, I don't want to be offending anyone or upsetting them. Once again, if I do, I apologise .

Silly Sony, they do some shocking things. You know how this goes. This constant fixation on graphics - I find this so infuriating. I like substance over style. To me, Sony and their fans just seem to look to aesthetics and then talk about gameplay. Just watch any Sony conference to see what I'm talking about. The PS4 unveiling conference. It was just full of tech demos and cutscenes . Then they tried to say all of the games will look that during gameplay, then at E3. They just didn't. But what annoys me the most is the fan response to this stuff. They always blow things out of proportion.  There are so many games I have played on PS3 that people said were aesthetically amazing, only to find the game was boring and wasn't actually that good in my opinion. Once such game was Heavenly Sword, everyone said it looked amazing, which it did. But. The game was so boring!! I just think people should stop saying games are good because they appear to be good. Actually play the...

I thought I would write another post about comics that are not Marvel or DC. I've found a couple that I think are really great. Once again all of the comics featured are available on Comixology . (I just realized all of the comics I mentioned in this list have female protagonists).  Here's the run down: Idolized - Publisher: Aspen Comics I love this series. It has a great story. I love that it flips the idea of what superheroes are really like and their backstories. I would like to give you all of the details but, as you know I want you to read it. So I can't tell you much. But, if you love Superheroes, you'll love this. Bandette  - Publisher : Monkeybrain One of the things you'll instantly notice about this series is its art style. It's very Cartoonish and I LOVE IT!! It's funny and has great characters, what else could you ask for? It even won the Best Digital Comic Eisner Award this year, which is pretty good. But, it means that it's only a...

Oh Nintendo how I love thee, but thou annoys me! I have grown up loving Nintendo. I always will love them and the great games that they create. But, there are some things about them they I hate. I'll be using my favorite technique...LISTS!! The constant need to be behind technologically - I don't care what anyone says, Nintendo ain't poor. So that means that they can afford to use the best technology available to them. So why they constantly insist on having hardware that is weak and out of date the day it comes out is beyond me. Gamecube wasn't in this category because although it wasn't well known, the Gamecube was as powerful as its counterparts. So it makes the fact that Wii and Wii U  are weaker than their counterparts all the more painful for me. I just think Nintendo should have kept making their consoles as powerful as they could and maybe that would have meant selling them at a loss, but the great games and innovation only Nintendo can prov...

Sorry, you are not the ONE  for me. Before you even say it. NO, I AM NOT A SONY FANBOY!! In fact, I don't own a PS3 or a Vita. The last Sony console I bought was  PS2, I skipped the PS3. I didn't buy an Xbox but I bought an Xbox 360. So as you can see, I'm not really loyal to either. I like both for different reasons I also hate both for different reasons.  But that is a discussion for a different day. I've been having trouble deciding how I was going to write this. I was going to write an essay, but who has time to read that? Nobody, that's who. So I've decided to do a list, because who  doesn't love a list?  The price  - Seriously, Microsoft must think I'm made of money (Last time I checked, I wasn't) I can't afford a £429 (According to Amazon UK) price tag. It may not sound like a lot, but when you consider that doesn't include games, which will probably be £50. The numbers start to add up. I know you get the Kinect with...
