I Watched John Wick 4

 To celebrate my gorgeous friend Sensei birthday, we gathered with friends to our usual theater get together. The movie we we're going to watch, was one that made us all very excited. It was none other than John wick 4 after all, the ending of the tale of this legendary man. This is a well known franchise loved by many people that follow it since the beginning, me, I started with zero knowledge about it when I went to see the third movie in the past with the said birthday boy. John Wick 3 was outstanding, the characters we're fun and the stakes were high. It was like the build up to an epic finale where we would finally witness the important pieces in the board start moving. I left the movies thrilled by the action and eager to see the story of this develop into a big epic.  Later on I also got to watch the first two movie's and they we're very entertaining as well. We gotta love a man that treats his dog with such care.  So basically all the cards we're set for a g...

I Watched MagiRevo

  I've been following anime for many years, now, but unfortunately, long gone are the days when I would watch every single thing that aired in all the seasons. These days, I still consume a good chunk of it, but less frequently, falling more into my gamer side and also diversifying to other media and experiences. One thing that still pulls me to this old hobby and forces me to actually consume all the good shows I observe on Twitter are my amazing friends like Momo and Sensei. Nothing like having great company to make watching a great show more interesting. Even bad shows can be great with good company.  MagiRevo was one of those animes. I knew a bit about it from seeing some funny scenes from Mutual's on Twitter, and I probably would only have watched it many years from now, but Sensei turned out to really love this one, proclaiming that I needed to watch it immediately. So setting up a date, we gathered in my house and spent the whole day, non-stop watching this Yuri masterp...

I Played WarioWare Inc Minigame

  Wario is a Nintendo character from the Super Mario Universe, he is pretty much an uglier kinda shady version of the famous plumber. I only knew this little fella from twitter and seeing him in the set of characters in Mario Kart 8. You see I'm really new to the Nintendo Universe, haven't tried many of it's promising games, especially the old ones that came either before I was born or a very baka baby.  So with my acquisition of the Nintendo Online, I decided to explore this whole new world of historic classics through their emulators. I'll be playing all the games in each old device app without any particular order and letting you see a bit of my adventure.  The reason I brought Wario in the beginning is that the first game I tried on the Gameboy Advance was no other than WarioWare Inc Mini-game Mania. As my first introduction to this character, let me say that I got an experience I really wasn't expecting.  This game is a bunch of weird levels filled with mini-ga...

I Watched The Last Jedi

So since sometime last year, with so many new shows of Star Wars getting out and with me never seeing anything apart from the main movies. I made the decision to watch everything Star Wars in the release date order.  So far this has turned out to be an amazing decision. Not only have I rewatched some of my favorite movies, I've also had the chance to see shows like Clone Wars and Rebels that quickly became my favorite pieces in the franchise, presenting me to new interesting and amazing new characters, while further exploring old ones.  The movie Rogue One also surprised me, holding strong as a new favorite that brought a whole new meaning to the importance and impact of the first Death Star mission in the first film.  Now while watching some lego and animated shorts in between, I'm finally revisiting the controversial sequels. Like The Force Awakens that was an okay movie, added new cool characters but stood too close to the formula of Episode 1. But what I want to talk ...

My Stockholm Syndrome with Chain of Memories

 Kingdom Hearts is a big franchise with millions of fans worldwide, one of their biggest fans ends up being my best friend Sensei who since the moment he acquired the whole collection for PS4 has spent countless conversations telling me how amazing and addictive the games are, and how much I should play them. Other friends of mine have equally praised it non-stop, and with such a strong reaction, I obviously couldn't keep sleeping on it.  Gathering my money, the moment I found a good sale for the whole package, I bought it and started playing. The first game was a great experience, way smaller than what I anticipated, I had only seen gameplay of the third game, so I was going blind into the old entries, but nonetheless a fun and thrilling adventure between these Disney Worlds. The gameplay was a little challenging but enjoyable to learn and play, the bosses in particular were memorable. I was also really entertained with the story, loving all the characters except from maybe R...

I Played Before Your Eyes

After spending a good time reading on my phone I found myself bored and without much to do, that's when I remembered that I had downloaded Before Your Eyes, one of the games distributed by Netflix through their service. Until recently the games offered in the service didn't really grab my attention, in grand part because I'm not the biggest fan of the casual mobile games, however Before Your Eyes was so acclaimed by those who played it that I simply couldn't ignore it.   So sitting down inside in an incredibly hot day while my family enjoyed the summer outside I started this adventure about Benjamin, a soul that had its destiny in the hands of a Ferryman telling his story in an interesting and fascinating way. Overall, the story was incredibly beautiful, capturing my heart with each segment, even making me shed some tears towards its ending. It's a great small experience that will only take a few hours. Now, what makes it so special? First, the way we interact with ...

Who is Emily? - Fiction

Mister Smith gave us an assignment in which we would have to dive into the lives of people. Initially, I was decided in doing a presentation on the people that impacted the most in your life by doing multiple interviews with members of my community. However, when I was reviewing the answers of the 20 individuals that participated, I found a connection between three of them, they all talked about a dream like girl with black hair and two braids. This is what they had to say: Edgar - Baker (26) The person who impacted me the most? This might be an odd answer, but I would have to say the girl who used to visit my family bakery ten years ago. She was around my age at the time and probably the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, her hair was pitch black with two braids while her smile was the brightest thing around, not even the sun could compare. She would visit the store every Tuesday to buy two pasteis de nata and would sit down peacefully reading in her phone. For months, I played w...
