A Newbie’s Guide to Resident Evil 6

So I’m really new to the Resident Evil franchise. And what game did I start playing? That’s right. Res 6. Because why would I start at one? Seriously, though. Then I played 5, and now I’m playing 4. I thought about playing 1, but I’m on a backwards roll. Just gonna keep it going!

Back to Res 6. It was developed by Capcom and released on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. You can play it solo or with a…

Heavy Metal (1981) Review

So this weekend I watched the strangest movie of my entire life. You might say, “Katrina, you watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, didn’t you?!” And my answer to you would be no. I absolutely love 2001: A Space Odyssey. Granted, it’s a little confusing, but at least the idea was understandable and there was a theme.

No, my dear readers. I watched Heavy Metal. And I have no idea what the hell that…

Review - Godzilla (2014)

Review – Godzilla (2014)

So I have a lot of emotions about the newest Godzilla movie. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie. Loads of fun action, Godzilla, evil giant bug creatures, Godzilla, epic city destruction, Godzilla, Bryan Cranston. Oh, and Godzilla. He was in this movie, too.

But in a seriousness, this movie was also PRETTY disappointing. The story was awful. Cranston’s only in the movie for about 30 minutes.…

Review - The Battle for the Afterlife by C.J. Davis

Review – The Battle for the Afterlife by C.J. Davis

The Battle for the Afterlife is written by C.J. Davis, and is an action packed SciFi/Fantasy that took me to a little bit of everything. There’s dinos, hovercrafts, war, zombies, Schwarzenegger-like action.

So first couple of chapters we meet Reese, off to Mexico to save his coach’s daughter from a cartel drug lord. And then he dies. But that’s not the end, folks! Reese awakens in the afterlife,…

How to Start Playing Magic the Gathering: For Noobs by a Noob

So I finally decided to start playing Magic the Gathering (or MTG) yesterday and I don’t know why I waited so long to embrace this game because I am having the time of my life. BUT all of the information out there is incredibly daunting to a noob. Seriously, it was stressing me out. I didn’t know what the heck a black blue deck was or tapping a card. What I discovered was that all the information…

The Lies of Locke Lamora is a fantasy novel written by Scott Lynch and published by Orion Publishing in 2006. It is the first book in The Gentleman Bastards cycle.

Book vs Movie: The Princess Bride vs The Princess Bride

Now, I’m going to assume that everyone here has at least seen the movie. And if you haven’t it’s, dare I say it, inconceivable! I recently read the book and absolutely loved it. I had watched the movie before reading the book, which is weird for me because I generally try to read the book first.

And if you have no idea what the story is about, it has “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True…

So I just finished reading the 1996 four issue series Kingdom Come, written by Mark Waid and Alex Ross with artwork done by Ross himself. The year is 2020, and our…
