Monkey Dew: January 2014
http://monkeydew.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A blog about Nintendo, Games and Culture. Saturday, January 04, 2014. It's been a long time since I've played a JRPG as tightly polished, beautiful, authentic and fun as the Bravely Default. Demo that was recently released on the Nintendo eshop. (see the Demo Trailer. Taking a clear homage from the old-school DS JRPG 4 Warriors of Light. Is its own creature and it is, I can say with little reservation, the kind of RPG that we've been sorely missing on the Nintendo 3DS or anywhere else for that matter.

A blog about Nintendo, Games and Culture. Monday, June 16, 2014. E3 2014 - Amazing. I've spent the last couple of E3s, especially since the weird Wii U reveal in 2011 trying to be positive but always walked away a little disappointed in Nintendo's approach to their E3 show. This year, Nintendo turned what seemed like a continuation of their retreat into a clear-cut win. So stunning was the change in perception that no one could have predicted it prior to their June 10. The change is largely because of a ...

Monkey Dew: August 2013
http://monkeydew.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
A blog about Nintendo, Games and Culture. Friday, August 16, 2013. Reflections on Pacific Rim. I rarely want to revisit or detail at length my thoughts about a movie after a review. Even if I have more things to say. But nearly two weeks and two more viewings later, I’m still buzzing about Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim. I’m as surprised about it myself. Why does Del Tero’s ode to the kaiju and mecha films of his childhood have such a hold on me? Appeals to me on a deeper more emotional level. WhatR...

Until Marvel of all things managed to make something that has a pulse and catches my interest. I know the vast majority of the internet speaks in hyperbole and memes, but Im very serious. This is the only Marvel masterpiece quality work that I genuinely agree as much as people claim. Kind of. Maybe. I dont know. Mels issues with Christopher Nolan. I'm conducting...

Rants From a Fangirl. 9775;:.Property of GUAHOAMMA.:☯:. Fangirl's Library of Biases. Origins of My Identity. Entertaining, Erratic, and Embarrassing. This is the second year of watching E3 with my pals, mainly to pass the time and to take a break from writing my research paper. Considering it's nothing but a show for investors to examine and determine whether a major company in the gaming industry needs support or not, this E3 was surprisingly fun to watch. depending on the presenter. I only played Skyrim.

Games before I can go on for seven parts. Maybe then I can overanalyze every fault in characters, gameplay, plot, and theme that I come across. My Lo...
