If there is DLC content that interests me, then I'll consider making a purchase.

If there is DLC content that does not interest me, then I won't make a purchase.

Those are the two "options" I have when it comes to what sort of DLC content I want to purchase because at the end of the day, it is my own decision, not theirs to decide.

That is all I am going to say.

Someone from Reddit:

"It's like watching a Marvel movie, you don't go to the cinema for the plot, you are in it for the action. Tekken 8 achieved that for me."

Whilst I am aware that people have different preferences when they go to watch a film or going to the cinema, I actually beg to differ in regards to what this poster stated.

I've watched a ton of Marvel movies and I generally don't watch them just for the action, but also for the plot to see how well every aspect is structured.

Having a good plot usually tells you what happens throughout the story and also acts as a mechanism that can help with building up their characters. Without a good plot, people will not have a general idea of what is going on and make them care less about the character's development.

I did watched the entire Tekken 8 story on Youtube in which I will give my thoughts in a later post.

Sony Entertainment Pictures are not going to let go of this "El Muerto" project aren't they?

So apparently in an old article, there were plans to make a film adaptation of the SoulCalibur series with its synopsis as:

"The story revolves around two warriors who are chosen by Shaolin monks to recover and destroy a powerful sword, Soul Edge, that has fallen into the hands of an evil prince who plans to use it to open the gates of hell and destroy the world."

Just like the usual with studios not following the source material nor even consulting with the producers of the video game, this would had been an absolute disaster just like the Tekken live action film. But at least the film was canned in the end.

‘MADAME WEB’ is tracking to open with $25M+ domestically over the film’s first 6 days.

To be honest, I'm not entirely too surprised in regards to the early box office predictions for Madame Web (which is tracking even lower than Morbius) considering that Sony Entertainment Pictures hasn't done much marketing on the film.

Whilst I do like Karl Urban's performance in "The Boys", I'm rather sceptical about casting him as Johnny Cage for the Mortal Kombat live action sequel.

Sony Pictures is reportedly considering bringing Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield back in ‘SPIDER-MAN 4’.

Kevin Feige wants the movie to be more grounded while Sony wants it to be huge.

At this rate, I'd take Kevin Feige's vision and direction over Sony's any day and anytime.

Bandai Namco already striking copyrights down on a number of Youtube videos for leaking out Tekken 8's story mode.

Happy 25th anniversary to Super Smash Bros. 64. It was one of my most anticipated games for the Nintendo 64 back in the day.

Now, when are Nintendo going to put this game up for the Nintendo Switch Online?

‘DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN’ resumes production on Monday.

Directed by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead (‘Loki S2’) and written by Dario Scardapane (‘The Punisher’).

I do have a lot of expectations for Benson and Moorhead considering that they did a brilliant job for direction of the second season of Loki. Hopefully they can keep their momentum going for the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series.

Let's imagine if another Tekken character joins in for the next Smash game, who would you want it to be?

It is not often that I had to go on a rant about something but to reiterate someone's response to my comment on Youtube:

"u talked about results in ur post to support ur arguments, which shows that u don't really understand football at all. Results do not matter."

I just feel that this part of the comment is completely wrong. Yes, I did mentioned the importance of results as part of my arguments as I believe that any other sports team in whatever discipline will know that results do matter to them as this will give them answers on what should be focused and improved upon as their next target.

But to say that I don't understand football at all is beyond laughable to me. I've been following the sport ever since I've been a long time Manchester United supporter. I've seen them play at their best and I've seen them play at their worst. This is why I used results to support my argument from above, because all clubs and managers will want to analyse their strengths and weaknesses upon the performances in order to achieve better results.

dezeray112 · Jan 13, 2024

Watched the new Gladiators show on the BBC and the moment the OG theme song played, it really brings back the memories when 90's UK gameshows used to be so popular back in the day.

dezeray112 · Jan 12, 2024

I really do hope the likes of Diddy Kong Racing, Bomberman 64, Goemon 64 and Banjo-Tooie will come on the Nintendo Switch Online for the Nintendo 64 category at some point.

dezeray112 · Jan 11, 2024

Watched all of the episodes of Echo on Disney+. Overall, I'd say the series is decently good in which I am eager to see whether Wilson Fisk will end up running for the mayor role.

dezeray112 · Jan 9, 2024

Watched the first 6 episodes of Netflix's "Beef" which is really good especially with Steven Yeun and Ali Wong's performances in which I understand why they won best supporting actor and actress during the Golden Globes awards.

I think bringing in Jake Schrier and Lee Sung Jin (director and writer of "Beef") are decent choices to direct and write the upcoming Marvel Studios' "Thunderbolts" film. It is a shame that Steven Yeun who was originally casted as Sentry/Robert Reynolds had to pull out of the role due to scheduling conflicts and he would had been good in the role.

dezeray112 · Jan 8, 2024

Watching some old children's gameshows back in the day on Youtube and there were two questions that were asked had me baffled to the answers at the time:

1. The Sheriff of Nottingham was the enemy of which legendary outlaw? He answered "Zorro."

2. Nigeria, Morocco and Zimbabwe are countries on which continent? She answered "Antarctica."

Me at the time: "What!?!"

dezeray112 · Jan 2, 2024

Back in my days when CBBC and CITV (British TV) were at its prime, there was a cartoon that I used to watch and yes there was a parody superhero called "Bananaman."

Also, the theme song is such a banger too!

As 2023 almost draws to a close within a few days, here are my best and worst films of this year:

Best movie of 2023: Barbie
Best animated movie of 2023: Between the Super Mario Bros. the Movie and the Elementals.
Disappointing movie of 2023: The Flash

Best TV show/series of 2023: Loki (Season 2)
Worst TV show/series of 2023: The Idol (HBO)

E3 had so many moments, but then again there were many bad moments just like these:

Will be interesting to see what will be in store for the video game industry next year, but it is going to be strange that E3 is no longer happening.

Since SEGA revealed a number of titles that they are revisiting and achieving a reboot/revival, if Capcom decides to do a similar path to SEGA, here are some titles that I predict could see potentially getting a reboot/revival:

1. Darkstalkers
2. Dead Rising
3. Dino Crisis
4. Breath of Fire
5. Final Fight
6. Onimusha
7. Okami
8. Power Stone

dezeray112 · Dec 20, 2023

Still glad to see SEGA giving some of their forgotten franchises a reboot with the likes of Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio etc.

Think this maybe something Capcom could possibly take notes and look to see which franchises needs a reboot.

dezeray112 · Dec 19, 2023

Maybe they should rename Jonathan Majors' character from "He who remains" to "He who no longer remains."

Other than that what I will say about the Jonathan Majors case is that he was someone who was about to head into stardom, only to see it vanish after being given the guilty verdict.

dezeray112 · Dec 17, 2023

It certainly had been a long time since I last watched Chicken Run back when I was in my teens and whilst Dawn of the Nugget doesn't quite match up with its predecessor, it is still a fun and entertaining film to watch.

dezeray112 · Dec 12, 2023

Very sad to hear that E3 is no longer happening. But for an event that ran more than two decades, there certainly a load of good, bad and special moments within the video gaming industry.

But then again, I guess a lot of aspects made an impact whether the times have changed where direct and digital presentations exist and events like E3 are no longer needed as the main spotlight.

dezeray112 · Dec 11, 2023

Just managed to finish watching "The Marvels" and whilst the film does have certain issues in terms of its pacing, parts of the story and its villain could had been better, it does have some great moments especially from Kamala Khan which was carried out by a charismatic performance by Iman Vellani.

Overall Rating: 7/10

dezeray112 · Nov 18, 2023

Having already watched the first two Maze Runner films directed by Wes Ball who is going to direct the upcoming Legend of Zelda live action film in which I can see what elements could be taken in terms of direction and tone.

Whilst I'm still not overly optimistic about having Avi Arad on board as producer, I do hope Nintendo can perhaps find someone who can write a decent script and plot.

dezeray112 · Nov 11, 2023

After watching the Season 2 finale of Loki, I can understand why he carried out by the performances of Tom Hiddleston are the gems of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

dezeray112 · Nov 10, 2023

The Coyote Vs Acme film apparently had a positive test screening and already completed before it got shelved for tax write offs in a similar fashion to what happened last year with Batgirl and the Scoob sequel.

This feels like another wasted opportunity that really makes me question WB and David Zaslav's decisions further.

dezeray112 · Nov 8, 2023

To be fair, I'm having mixed feelings about having Avi Arad on producing the Legend of Zelda live action film.

Whilst he did produced cartoon tv shows back in the 90s from Spider-Man: the Animated Series to the Fantastic Four (which I had watched as part of my childhood), his filmography is not quite as impressive in which he had a number of films that had poor reception from Daredevil, Elektra, the Nicholas Cage Ghost Rider films, Ghost in the Shell and Morbius.

dezeray112 · Nov 5, 2023

Question for everyone, in your opinion which is the better video game film adaptation between the Super Mario Bros. the Movie or Five Nights at Freddys and why?

dezeray112 · Nov 5, 2023

I will give "Five Nights at Freddy's" film another watch to see if my opinion has changed or still remained the same.

I've been seeing a load of debates and arguments between critic and audience film reviews as usual.

Thing is both critics and audiences do not share the same mindset on what they look for within film reviews. One goes in to the specifics to qualities of the film whilst the other tends to look more on to the entertainment value.
