Why Snake Eyes GI Joe Origins Left Me Wanting A Bayonetta Film More Than Anything Else..
Ok I went into Snake Eyes Gi Joe origins not knowing what to expect. On one hand the trailer looked awesome, a throw back to over the top kung fu action flicks, but something of this level could easily fall off the rails. Lucky for me it delivered and I left the theatre pumped and intrigued . The strange thing was that while I really enjoyed the film and anticipate a sequel could be just as entertaining, I became even more excited and pumped about another possibility.

Everything You Need To Game Like A True Pro (No Experience Necessary). Top Story - July 2021. Created with: Humble Bundle.
I've been a massive gamer most of my life. I started my gaming journey back in 1988 using an Amiga 500 where games would take 10 minutes to set up and play. Most games had multiple floppy disks to load before I could even start playing. I then moved on to a PC when games like Doom and Quake were released, the faster loading and increased level of detail in games was moving rapidly. I was hooked. It didn't matter that the games looked like a pixelated screen; it was about having fun and taking my gaming to a whole new level of excitement. What a time to be alive with so many games available to play! New incredible hardware being developed and easy to access games subscription services makes gaming a lot easier now.

Coffee Talk: A Cozy Game That Lets You Play Barista to Magical Creatures in an Alternative Seattle . Top Story - July 2021.
Coffee culture is widespread all over the world— from breakfast to break time, it's no question that it's a much beloved drink. Even the ambience of café s is more than enough to let people stay for hours, making it their little haven to unwind or work in peace. This is why creating a heart-to-heart talk simulator around this theme is very fitting. Although coffee makes me extremely jittery, a virtual latte or two wouldn't hurt, right?

Dungeons & Dragons & Diversity. Top Story - June 2021.
The interior hell of the pandemic definitely precipitated within most of the youth and adult populations across the globe, a frantic scramble to find hobbies. In a bid to escape the crushing monotony and existential terror of repeated lockdowns and periodical quarantines, people looked for ways to create joy and connection in their day-to-day. People were en-masse re-directing their energies into more creative or previously unexplored pursuits - a phenomenon that resulted in incredible situations like the Great Yeast Shortage of 2020 (Loaf tins, one of the unsung heroes of the early pandemic in North America), and the Return of the Sea Shanty (Actual sea not required)

Summer of Sims
I enjoy being able to relax and escape the reality and stress of my daily life. Reading books is my favorite past time of escaping to a new world within my head, but something I have also been doing for a long time but recently fully committed to in the past few year has been The Sims; more specifically, The Sims 4. I started TS4 on the PS4 because I go my PS4 as a bundle with a game, knowing that the only game I actually like in the selection was The Sims as I had played all the previous versions. Learning all the new features of this new version of my favorite game was an adventure because it had been a while since I had even played The Sims 3. Finally, getting the hang of playing this game, I spent hours upon hours of game play and working on my building skill, which is admittedly easier to do on the PC. Joining a Facebook group all about TS4 opened me up to the world of cheats, mods and custom content, though I couldn't have the mods or cc on my PS4, I was able to use the cheats; once I started using the cheats, there was no turning back, and I definitely tried.

Dungeons, Dragons and Deep Connections
I've always been invested in 'nerdy' hobbies. I collect comic books, I cosplay as my favourite characters and I play more games than most people I know; however I don't believe you have experienced the wonders of the nerds world until you have experienced at least one thrilling Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

The Dawn Ages
The Dawn Ages covers a period of time between -30,000 to -24,000DR The empires of the creator races begin to fade into memory and usher in the Time of Dragons and the Time of Giants. During this time, individual dragons and clans rule large swaths of territory and battle with their rivals for further control over land, sea and the skies, creating devastating warfare among the dragons of Faerûn, which leads to isolated pockets of former dragon territories falling under the control of giants. Over time, these giant-ruled kingdoms come to threaten the leadership of dragonkind.
