Undertale Soundtrack | Review

Don’t forget to like, share, and follow. I finally got around to listening to “MEGALOVANIA” by Toby Fox from the Undertale game on Spotify. I know I’m a tad late; but give me a break, I didn’t even know about Undertale until a few months ago–about the same time Deltarune came out. I’ll probably get… — read more

But, I clicked anyway; I’ve been watching Game Theorists’ videos for awhile now and figured, “meh.” It started out with MatPat talking about all the high and low points of… — read more

Misadventures: The Vision Board

Don’t forget to like and share. A recent blog post (recent to me at least) by Specscladeyes talks about how to make a vision board. Sounded pretty interesting to me.

Cowards? | Scooby Doo and the Gourmet Ghost

May contain spoilers. Don’t forget to like and share. I was watching Scooby Doo and the Gourmet Ghost when about 50-60 minutes in Shaggy said something interesting. He was talking to Scooby and said (I’m paraphrasing) that once again, pretending to be cowards landed them the easy assignments. What?! I rewound the video and listened… — read more

Test Your Might | Mortal Kombat 11 Reveal

Thanks to IGN, GhostRobo, and Gamer’s Little Playground, I was able to get a “peek” (as did the rest of the Net-mosphere) at Mortal Kombat…ahem, I mean, *in dramatic, Mortal Kombat announcer voice* Mortal Kombat 11. The graphics looked crisp. I liked the character designs and the move sets look amazing. And the combos…just wow.… — read more
