Reloading: The Legend Of Korra Book 4 and Series Review

After three years, four seasons, roughly 50-something episodes, and a long list of bullshit from Nickelodeon holding this show back from true greatness, The Legend of Korra has finally come to a close. I know my review is a little late to the party, but between all the scheduled holiday posts, delays due to my actual job, and delays and technical problems getting a specific podcast complete and online... yeah, I can't think of how this would have gotten up to you guys any faster. That being said... After much delay, here is my review... of Legend of Korra. 

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 Games of 2015

Looking back at 2014... we had a lot of delays in games. We had a few good titles come out, but 2015 stole all of our big titles this year. What the hell 2015? What did we do to force you to a live of thievery? We can overlook this injustice if you don't lose your big titles to 2016. Otherwise I'm sure some of us will get rather upset. As fun as 2014 was, 2015 looks to have some interesting stuff lined up... and here is our list of games for 2015 we'll be watching closely. 

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… 

Majestic Twelve - Games of 2014

Many argue 2014 was a bad year for games. And I suppose that really depends on who you ask. I found many worthwhile indie games from Hand of Fate to Shovel Knight were coming out and I couldn't even get to them all. I found the Xbone actually had games on it (though I still haven't bought the damn thing). It was a good year for Platinum as they had three different titles release this year (though one was just a PC port, still counts). Telltale had a good year with three games coming out this year as well (two having concluded and the third just starting). And this was an excellent year for Nintendo with many great games worth owning a WiiU for.

Yes, many games did get delayed into 2015, which sucks. But I actually liked that because it lessened the stress on my wallet during the holiday shopping season. And some of those titles are filling up the early spring games drought that we usually get nothing released in. It's a blessing in disguise that few are thinking ahead for (as usual). All that said, let's get to the best offerings of 2014 (As decided by me). And because I said so, these must be true and if you disagree, you're probably wrong and maybe even some kind of racist (though probably not). 

Majestic Twelve: Movies of 2014

2014 was a strange year for films. Most of them were adaptations of Young Adult Novels featuring dystopia-futures where the youngsters played by people who are likely my age or slightly older have to fight to the death of arbitrary reasons. And while I may not have said it often, I’m tired of seeing these kinds of adaptations everywhere because they all basically have the same ideology that the future will suck and these teenage gobshites are going to be the ones to somehow make it suck less with their angsty romance subplots.

But I say no to this foolishness. No such nonsense will make my list this year as we will focus on films that are fun, exciting, and adapted from more interesting things like comics, manga, or lucid fever dreams. Here we go with the best films of 2014 (as decided by me).

Reloading: Indie Game Double Feature

We’re getting righty down to the wire with getting the last of my reviews out before start hitting out “Best Of” lists for the year. So while I found some time, I want to squeak in two indie-game reviews for your pleasure. There’s more I wanted to do, but we’re cutting it close as it is. This week we’re hitting One Finger Death Punch and the Early Access game Hand of Fate. Both are shorter indie titles without too much meat to hold their own full review. So they get to share (still two scores to give though).
