PC Masters... of Jumping Through Hoops

Image
             I find PC gaming to be frustrating at times. I get in different moods where I just focus on one specific console for no good reason. Like, “I’m gonna play a ton of Switch” or “I really feel like doing all this PC stuff” and every other console or game is just not an option. I find it odd but it’s just a mood and I go from thing to thing. I feel like that’s how it must be for fanboys all the time that’s why they’re so agro all the time. They’re just hyper focused on their console of choice for whatever reason. But PC gaming can be so finicky and between different CPUs, video cards and RAM it’s no surprise really.             Last year I was having issues trying to play WarCraft 3 Reforged and Deep Rock Galactic. The games would typically freeze and maybe it would come back, maybe it wouldn’t. WC3 I kept forgetting that it would do it so I would start playing then five minutes in or so it would happen and it’d be like “oh yeah.” It got really annoying when @PoeTomic and I

Fighting Game Modes and MH Fighter.

         Hello again. I posted this once but I wasn’t quite happy with it so I’m going to try to trim the fat. I want to talk more about my Monster Hunter fighting game. I’m not going to go too in-depth with each character’s/monster’s moves since I’m not that well versed in fighting games like other people. I’m not able to suggest possible inputs and such. First though I want to talk about game modes I really enjoy from older fighting games that the games seem to have moved away from. For the most part I’ve noticed that my first experience with a franchise is typically going to be my favorite and what everything after will be compared to. When it comes to fighting games I’m as casual as it comes. I have little desire to play against other people online for the most part. What I’ve noticed also is that the genre has moved further away from the casual crowd and focus primarily on the pro scene. For me, if all you have is straight up fighting I'm probably going to loose interest prett

MH Rise Early Impressions

              Hello! I’ve put in probably 30ish hours into Monster Hunter Rise and am like just starting village and hub 3 star quests and thought I’d give you my first, early impressions.             The first thing you get to do is customize your character and pets or “buddies.” I was a little put off by the character options. There’s not a lot of hair options and, for me, the hair for the females in particular are to clean. Like they’re hair is just so straight and perfect. They’re hunters; the hair should be a little messier and I feel like there should be more tied up/back options like braids. I know that it doesn’t really matter because how much are you really going to see your characters hair but if you’re giving me the options then really give me some options otherwise just give me a generic character and let me go. Another thing there’s not really a great variety in voices. A majority of them are just lower or higher pitch. I was kind of expecting to hear more accents in Eng

Curse of the Black Pearl Holds Up Pirates of the Caribbean

            Hello, I thought I’d post something different. I mean this blog is pretty much just things I’ve talked about with my friends more than once and just wanted a place to keep tabs on so I don’t have to repeat myself anymore. What I want to talk about mostly is how all the sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl take plot points from the first movie. I’m sure I’m not the only one to notice and maybe it was intentional or maybe it’s just lazy, I don’t know. If this isn’t too long I’ll complain about other things at the end.             I don’t think Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End suffer from this as much as the later two movies. They use the character Davy Jones; it’s a typical pirate thing, Davy Jones’ locker, so not a big deal. In the first movie when Elizabeth Swann falls into the ocean while Jack Sparrow talks to two British soldiers and he says “and then they made me their chief.” I don’t really think the sequels were being planned when CotBP so
