FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×10- “Reckless”
The Flash (08×10)- “Reckless” Written by: Jess Carson Directed by: Kellie Cyrus We pick up where we left off, Deon has found out what’s going on with Iris and he’s determined that she’s not being affected by something that’s wrong with her, whatever is wrong with her is affected time around her and it seems to be getting worse. Now, sometimes in the DC/CW verse someone will find out there’s a problem and they try to keep it secret especially from their family or significant other. It’s really a coin flip based on how severe the problem is, Iris thankfully doesn’t do this and she calls in Barry. Once they…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×08- “The Fire Next Time”
The Flash (08×08)- “The Fire Next Time” Written by: Joshua V Gilbert Directed by: David McWhirter We open at O’Shaughnessy’s after closing time and it seems a guy named Stan has been left to lock up. He takes a look around before he’s attacked by an unknown assailant. Unknown to us anyway since Stan seems to know who they are. Whoever they are, Stan owes them money, they like glam rock and they have some sort of heat power. The next morning at Barry and Iris’ loft, Iris finds Barry getting ready for work but notices he is distracted and kind of sullen. She glances at the calendar and suddenly…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×07- “Lockdown”
The Flash (08×07)- “Lockdown” Written by: Christina M Walker Directed by: Stefan Pleszczynski We open this week with Chester on monitor duty on a boring afternoon and it seems his stomach is ready for lunch but it also he failed to pack his lunch and didn’t notice. (How do you not notice the second you pick up the lunch box?) He now has a minor dilemma, run off to the break room and nuke a hot pocket potentially missing an emergency they need Barry for or continue to listen to the not so soothing sounds of borborygmus. (Apparently Door Dash, Uber Eats and the delivery options even Taco Bell offers…

When Barry tries to remind them that he’s the Flash by changing into costume things go weird as Barry’s now the Reverse Flash and Thawne is the Flash… Neat trick! Thawne and Team Flash beat on Barry for a while before he escapes with…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×02- “Armageddon, Part 2”
The Flash (08×02)- “Armageddon, Part 2″ Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Menhaj Huda Major Spoiler Warning for Fight Club. I’ll spoil the Flash all day long, it’s in the title but this serves as both a high recommendation of the film and the novel it’s based upon and your only warning. Spoilers ahead. We pick up pretty much where we left off last week but despite their agreement, Despero put Barry on his back to test his abilities and healing. Meaning he now knows exactly what it will take to kill Barry. Well, that’s nice. Barry then asks the million dollar question, why did he…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×01- “Armageddon, Part 1”
The Flash (08×01)- “Armageddon, Part 1″ Written by: Eric Wallace Directed by: Eric Dean Seaton The year is 2031 and Central City is about to be destroyed. Things look bad, really bad but don’t worry gang! Despero is here to save us! Hold up… There’s a lot to unpack here. Not just that Despero looks a bit like Vincent Van Gogh but last I checked Despero isn’t a “Thank God you’re here! We’re safe now!” kind of guy. He’s more of a guy that I’d expect to be causing this kind of thing. So maybe we should show the special title card and back things up a little. It’s…

REVIEW: Neo: The World Ends With You (Nintendo Switch)
Disclaimer: For those gamers that are photosensitive, be warned that there is a boss in the game who could potentially cause seizures. Though not game-breaking like Balan Wonderworld before it’s day one patch or similar to those found in the re-release of Sonic Color Ultimate. But it is enough that it’s worth mentioning. Neo: The World Ends With You takes place three years after the events of the previous entry, The World Ends With You. Meet Rindo, a socially awkward teenager that gets dragged into a mysterious game of life and death. After covering the anime adaptation of The World Ends With You over at The Amateur Otaku, picking up…

REVIEW: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
Editor’s Note: This review is for the Nintendo Switch version of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. As someone who played the first three Ace Attorney Games, and loved them, I know giving The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles a chance in the west was a no-brainer. Just like Ace Attorney, this is a port of a previously released title. The original arrived on Nintendo 3DS, although it never got a western release. The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles follows the ancestor of defense attorney Phoenix Wright. The main character is a Japanese student named Ryunosuke Naruhodo who studies law in Great Britain. During his time overseas, Ryunosuke gets included in several causes,…

REVIEW: Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Ruin (Nintendo Switch)
When the guardian species known as Rathalos begin disappearing, the world is turned upside down, with monsters running rampant and strange lights appearing around the world. It is up to the grandchild of a legendary rider to investigate the mystery and save the world. In a world where turn-based combat systems are almost as rare as Activision games not named Call of Duty, my attention always draws to a title when they use a turn-based combat system. Enter Monster Hunter Stories 2, Wings of Ruin, the second installment in the Monster Hunter spinoff franchise. Here, the player controls a Rider, who instead of hunting monsters keeps them as companions. These…
