Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Bringing Me Back

HAVE YOU SEEN THESE STARTERS?

I'm going to set the record straight. I had a huge gap between my Pokemon Generations. I started with the original Red on Gameboy and skipped everything all the way to Sword on the Switch. What a difference.

I have wanted to play the Pokemon games through the years but I just haven't got around to most handheld systems. I was always hoping that one day I would be able to play something a bit bigger on my TV. I did try out the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and it was nostalgic and neat but it didn't really feed my need for NEW TV Pokemon. Sword/Shield did that. And I was happy.

Now I know Arceus came out recently but I was still thrown off. Open world? Check. Played on the TV? Check. New Pokemon and original story? Not so much.

ENTER SCARLET AND VIOLET. New starters. New Pokemon. New location. Open world. ON MY TV. What a dream!

Watching the reveal trailer, I felt like a kid again. I instantly wanted to be in this world and already started planning which starter I would take first. (Grass cat for the win). I'm hooked even though there is not a ton of information out there yet.

Pokemon has held a special place in my heart since I have fond memories as a kid trading, battling and exchanging tips and tricks with my friends. Panicking when the batteries started to die in the Gameboy and watching the lights dim. Trying to get Mew behind a dang truck for weeks until we found out that was all a hoax.

I haven't really been back since then and I am more than giddy and emotional thinking of how I cannot wait to return.

Bring it on!

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
