BringArts – Final Fantasy VII – Tifa Lockhart

I probably don't really need to reiterate my overall criticisms of this line from my Cloud write-up. I will add that, I was inspired to start this line when I saw Wave 2 had Yuffie, who is my favorite character from the game. But this Tifa looked super great and was part of what pushed me to go ahead and get the rest of them. That and Cid and Cait Sith both look great, and kind of round out my top 3 of this game. Tifa was harder to find though. Since I was starting with the announcement of the…

Star Trek Discovery – Season 3

So, how to solve the problem of "Discovery feels too advanced" and solve the problem of, "The writers want to make Star Trek but mostly ignore most established Trek canon concepts." What if you just... Catapult the plot 930 years into the future. I am not entirely against the time travel angle of the plot. I am a bit against the "930 years" part. For one, now there is the opposite problem, where everything doesn't feel advanced ENOUGH. Like seriously, did society just plateau? This is literally the equivalent of being a medieval knight to our present day. Even if…

What I’ve Been Playing – Cruisn’ the USA Edition

It's been a while since I posted about "What I'm Playing". I've done a few specific game posts but no generic ones. Mostly it's been Overwatch. Because I stopped playing Fortnite and apparently I hate myself because I can't NOT play a grindy shooter game. I'm probably not going to really talk about Overwatch. I've finished the base Ultrawatch Pass already, helped out because I bought the Ultimate pass like a sucker because it had Kaiju skins, but it had 20-level tier skips. I still have titles to try for, which is another 100 levels. I also spent my Mythic…

BringArts – Final Fantasy VII – Cloud Strife

Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy VII were once a pretty big part of my interest many years ago. I probably would not be Ramen Junkie online if not for alt.games.final-fantasy on Usenet. FFVII is probably the most popular game in the series, and while I prefer FFX, a lot of people consider it to be the best. With the recent remakes, and all the spin off games and movies, the original character designs felt like they were kind of pushed to the side. I don't really pay much attention to any of Square's various "Arts" lines either I did not…

Star Trek Discovery – Season 2

Ok, so, I will probably just go with being a lot more spoilers on this post. It's an older show, chances are if you care you've watched it. I was a bit less spoilers in my Season 1 write-up, which functions a bit more as just a review. I also want to preface this a bit that, I watched Star Trek Strange New Worlds before watching this season. This is notable because this season is effectively a sort of, soft pitch/pilot for SNW. Captain Pike is captain of Discovery this round, replacing Lorca, who of course, got vaporized last season.…
