Reloading - Terminator - Sega Genesis

2015 has been an odd year in film. In one year alone, we’ve had three films break the top ten for highest box office numbers, two of which are owned by the same company. One of which is the seventh movie in a chain of movies that really shouldn’t be earning billions given the quality of writing and content. One of which is a dusty old relic from the 90’s that somehow still manage to blow the minds of children and adults of a new generation. And one of which was another Avengers, and that was the least profitably of the three (surprisingly). And we’re only just now starting the second half of the year. I can only imagine how bombastically stupid the numbers will get when Star Wars finally gets back on the big screen.

BulletPoints: The Red Capes are Coming!

It’s another week for another BulletPoints and I apologize for missing last week. I recently acquired a fulltime schedule as you might know from having watched out Podcast the previous week. I’m also working on finding new places to move to now that I can afford to, but I don’t have time to do anything this week due to a full-over-time-schedule. I literally have no extra time, so thank Christ I finished this week’s Smash Suggestion Box before the week started. Anyway, Some big news happened this week in gaming I could talk about. But I know that the podcast crew and I will be discussing the passing of Satoru Iwata in full detail and fondly remembering the good times he gave us. Rather than double-dip into that topic, I’m going to double-dip into the topic of the upcoming DC-films. But please understand, we have much respect for Mr. Iwata and we will give him as much time on the podcast to be discussed and remembered properly this upcoming Friday.

Three-Way Catch-Up: #56 and #57

Work has been hectic. didn't realize I was missing so many posts. Sorry about that! Here's a quick catch up from the past TWO podcasts!

Reloading: San Andreas - To a Fault

Welcome back to Reloading where we review games, movies, TV and so on. I just got a copy of Splatoon at the writing of this review (which was launch weekend). So expect that review shortly if it hasn’t already released. Until then, here’s a review of a big popular movie starring a big popular guy doing big tough things. San Andreas.

Three-Way Podcast #53 - Jerking Our Controllers

Today we are both kids now and squids now. 

BulletPoints - Child's Play

Welcome back to BulletPoints, a series that discusses the timeless quality forms of entertainment like games, movies, games, TV, games, comics, games, and games. We discuss this entertainment in terms of art, business, and just the entertainment in of itself. As we’ve discussed in issues past, I don’t like it when entertainment is made or designed to be exclusionary. And it pisses me off more so when people ask me a question implying that said form of entertainment is, by default, exclusionary. 

BulletPoints - How to Three-Way Podcast

Today on BulletPoints I’m going to outline the rules I try to follow when picking news blurbs for our podcast. Please note that I’m not the only one who suggests stories for the podcast, as Nicole does as well. Likewise, any member of the team is welcome to suggest stories if they like. Longer members obviously have more say than newer members on what can stay in the podcast and what can’t. And more priority is given to topics related to topics discussed in the podcast already (such as holiday-related podcasts or big events like Avengers or the death of Monty Oum). That being said, let’s get started. 

Three-Way Podcast #49 Speshul Avengers Stuff

Oh God... what have I done? 

This was a horrible idea.

Reloading: Avengers: Age of iRobot

There’s no big movie that just came out to review… right? Oh, wait. Avengers: Age of Ultron. Well, shit, and I have a huge backlog of reviews dating back to January that I still haven’t gotten around to posting. I guess they’ll have to wait a week so I can get to this. Also, Cap, don’t start with me about language, time for a review! 

Three-Way Podcast #48 - Nobody Thinks of Norman Reedus

Aaron is back along with the rest of his motley crew. This week they talk about the big news regarding Silent Hills in addition to the paid Steam Mods fiasco and the coming of a new Dragon Ball series. 

BulletPoints: Wall Crawling Menace Co-op'ed by Marvel

A recent news report announced that Spiderman would be joining the ranks of the Marvel characters in a recent deal construed by Sony and Marvel. While Fox has yet to weigh in on the issue in regards to X-Men and the Fantastic Four, we can spend the time speculating on whether this news is good or not by skimming over some of the relevant facts, of which, we actually know very little.

Trailers on Trial: Poltergeists Persona-Fived

Welcome back to Trailers on Trial where we pass judgment on the snippets of film or game footage released to build up hype. Will the game/movie of today live up to said hype or do we even care with what we’ve been shown? Today’s defendants are the new Persona 5 trailer AND the remake of Poltergeist (2015).

Three-Way Podcast #37 - Dicks as Multitool Confirmed

We bring up a second podcast this week in order to get us up to date with news. And you get more entertainment in one week. It's win-win! Enjoy out latest episode of the Three-Way Podcast where we talk about everything from movies to the NSA to sex in Witcher 3 to Monty Oum. 

Reloading - The Boy Next Door (to Michael Myers)

Were you expected a review of Taken 3 or American Sniper? Well those probably aren’t happening. The former because I still have yet to see it and probably won’t in the near future. The latter because, again, still not particularly interested. How did I end up going to see The Boy Next Door? A series mostly fortunate events led me to seeing this with a friend where we both had a night off and wanted to actually go out. Was it my first choice of movie? No. But it’s also January and aside from Taken 3, there aren’t all that many options. Go figure. 

BulletPoints: Big Shoes to Review

This was going to be the week I posted all of my Legend of Korra stuff. But due to a massive work-load this past weekend, I’m still working on that stuff. Do expect a podcast and a video-based Majestic Twelve for next week that’s all about Legend of Korra along with our normal posts. The change in format for those particular posts are my way of apologizing for delay (and I wanted to do them as videos anyway, so it works out). 

Majestic Twelve - Looking at Films of 2015

We’ve done our “Best of 2014” lists. We’ve talk about the worst games, movies, and events of 2014. It’s been a lot of talk of 2014. But that’s all in the past and who likes living in the past? I know I don’t. Today and tomorrow, we look ahead to the bright shining future because of all the lens-flare and overly shiny games you’ll see soon enough. Today? Let’s talk movies if 2015 we’ll be keeping an eye on. Starting with… 

BulletPoints: Why Get Hype For Suicide Squad?

Some of you might have been wondering with the last issue of BulletPoints why I seem more inclined to like Marvel films over DC films. Taking it farther, why I was surprised by my excitement for Suicide Squad over… anything Marvel or Marvel-related. But there are some good reasons which I guess I’ll explain here. 

Majestic Twelve: Best Comic Book Movies Ever

Comic-book and super hero movies are probably Hollywood’s biggest commodity at this point in time give the overwhelming success of the popular Avengers franchise. And while other studios (Sony, Fox, and Warner) are desperately trying to get their hands on that cashflow with their super hero franchises, Marvel is still dominating… for now. So here’s a valid question… what are the best comic-book-super-hero movies we’ve seen thus far?
