Looking For The Next Big Obsession

There are a bunch of games out. A ton. There are even MORE games releasing on the horizon. After playing through the madness that was Far Cry 6, I have been looking for my next big adventure. My next 500 hour journey into a world that is not my own. There's only so many times I can go back to Skyrim, so what is next?

There are plenty of short term story games to be excited about (I'm currently loving the new Guardians of the Galaxy game) but nothing that has grasped me to the point where I exclaim to the Gaming Gods "THIS IS THE ONE!"

I do find myself beating a game and not really wanting to dive back into it. MMOs here are pretty exempt from the conversation because they are rather never ending. I want that Oblivion/Skyrim feel again. I want that Grand Theft Auto time suck. I'm not entirely sure what's going to immerse me again.

Battle Royales and First Person Shooters are great but it's very rare that I am actually interested or involved with their stories. Halo and Battlefield Bad Company 2 are the games that come to mind when I think of ones I've wanted to play more than once or actually make sure I knew what was going on.

Quite a long time ago, games like Fable would keep me playing over and over again. Listening to and reading up on the lore. Discovering new areas, new ways to play, breaking my personal records...It was like I was there. I'm not sure if it's getting older or the fact that there are SO many stellar games out that is causing the distance. I find it's much easier to want to get through a game or story so I can move on the next. That's good and bad. Overwhelming AND exciting.

Releases like Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon, Monster Hunter and a few others have succeeded at this and maybe it's not so horrible that they are a once in a few year thing. I still LOVE playing video games and jumping from universe to universe even if it does get to be a little daunting.

Now, I am not saying there AREN'T games like that out there. I am just saying that I haven't found the one for me. Often, I'm also reviewing games like Biomutant and Cyberpunk 2077 and even though they've had some pretty less than stellar reviews, I'm looking at them through a critics eye instead of my own inner gamer.

It will be nice to see when the next BIG game for me is here. Whether that's Forza Horizon 5 or an indie yet to be announced, I'm stoked to be all in again!

Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Equip And Use Your Glider

Are you wondering how to use your new Glider in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Have no fear as I am here to tell you exactly how to do it! If you happen to be blasting or skipping through menus in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you may be wondering how the heck to equip that shiny new surfboard glider you got. Well, all you have to do is go to your Wardrobe, scroll down to Gliders and select it! Easy as a hot dog! But how do you hop on this thing and use it? Well for that, first you MUST make sure your stamina bar is in the yellow. You do this by eating cooked meals that will take you above your maximum stamina bar. Once this is complete, just run for a few seconds until an icon appears in the bottom left side of the screen. Tap that button (For me, on Xbox, it's B) and PERFECTO! You'll be gliding in no time! Make sure to pay attention to your stamina bar as it will run out pretty quickly though! For more tips, opinions, and overall shenanigans, make sure to leave a comment and come back...

Movie Backlog: The Fast And The Furious (2001)

I'm a bit ashamed of myself. And, to a point, somewhat proud. I have never watched any of the Fast and Furious movies other than 2 Fast 2 Furious for some reason. So I got sick over the weekend and decided to start watching the entire season to see what I have missed over the last 20 years. Here are some of my thoughts on the first movie into this adrenaline-filled, NOS-injected, action-packed love story. The Fast This movie starts out at a pretty fast pace. Quick racing, quick fights, all the machismo you can shake a stick at. We get to follow Brian O'Connor, played by the late Paul Walker. A blonde surfer type who is an undercover cop sent to investigate the infamous street racing gang leader, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel). This is because a bunch of truck's have been hijacked and good ole Dommy boy is the main suspect. We find out the Brian likes tuna sandwiches. Pretty dang cool I guess. I'm not a car guy and I will never pretend to be, but what I noticed is there are ...

A.K.I Slithers into Street Fighter 6!

The second Street Fighter 6 DLC character is here! A.K.I, a brand new character to the series arrived this week, just in time for Halloween. Her slithery, unsettling, poison wielding moves will be sure to not only creep out players, but also shake things up for the online warriors out there. She has a mix of mid and long range range moves, plus projectiles and specials that inflict poison on the opponent. Her moveset and specials take inspiration from F.A.N.G. Well... not surprising because she's an apprentice of F.A.N.G! Not only that, she's a little bit obsessed with him. Ok, maybe A LOT bit obsessed. Don’t worry though, she’s way cooler than F.A.N.G. Her design (I'm still 50/50 on the hair) and engaging move set make her way more appealing to use than her obsession. Street Fighter's YouTube page has a great breakdown of her gameplay. If you want to learn a bit about her move set, strengths, and weaknesses, I recommend that you watch! So far I’m having a blast us...
