Highlights - Red Vs Blue Reminiscing

Here’s our second new post of Highlights, a series that points out worthwhile moments in games, shows, movies, comics, books, and more. Without further delay, let’s get into the highlights for one of my favorite web series, Red Vs. Blue. 

Three-Way Podcast #36 - Chin Deep in Meta

Hosted by Aaron and Nicole, we introduce the world to Ryan and Angel as they introduce us to the incredibly deep world of meta gaming. 

Majestic Twelve - Best Fan-Made Amiibo

We talked about it on this week’s podcast and in an upcoming BulletPoints. Amiibo are annoying to a degree, but the custom amiibo scene is actually quite incredible. So I figure, let’s take a moment to recognize the brilliant craftsmanship and dedication it takes to make these cheap looking Amiibo’s look like works of genuine talent. I’ll do my best to include names. If you are the creator of an Amiibo we showcase and you’re name was omitted, please let us know in an email (evacstation@gmail.com) and we’ll make the edit as needed. Let’s get started.

BulletPoints - Waiting for DLC to Evolve

Have you heard of Evolve? It’s an asymmetrical 5-player co-op/versus game in which four friends face off against a big monster on one of several different maps. The concept itself is cool, basically turning the Tank battles from Left 4 Dead into a full game. On top of that, the game looks visually impressive and trailers make it seem fun to play. But why can’t I get more excited for this game? I’m losing my shit over Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, GTAV for PC, and Might No 9. But, while everything about Evolve would normally flip my triggers, I’m just not entirely bursting my pants with joy. 

Majestic Twelve: Favorite Pokemon

Once again, we find ourselves talking about a game that can be played competitively but our list isn’t subject simply to the rules of competitive play. This will be the start of our best and worst lists for POKEMON. Kicking things off, we’ll be talking about the top twelve BEST Pokemon in the series These are just solely my opinion and not all reasons behind them are based on competitive play but also personal preference or any special/significant meaning beyond the stats. Because Pokemon are more than just numbers… to me anyway. It was the first game I ever owned and beat and that’s something special in ways that can’t be expressed with just statistics and tiers. 

Trailers on Trial - Five Nights at Teddy's?

Welcome back to Trailers on Trial (we settled on a name of sorts). Last time we discussed Fant4stic and this time we’ll be talking about Ted 2. Oh, boy. (And something else too). 

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.
