A sentence that I am fond of saying during 2022 is that I have watched Scarface for the first time. Not reflective of my opening, but this will not be a long-winded analysis of the widely acclaimed 1983 classic. This essay is to address a key section of crime dramas that hits with a formulaic precision regardless of the film, the third act. Relating to the eventual downfall of the characters/organization and twists that cement the finale is the movie’s strongest portion. Whether the gangster movie are classics like New Jack City or Goodfellas, the third act is where it counts. This is the period of the movie that cements its legacy because it illustrates how one can burn too bright.

Anime to video game adaptations possess slim options. These adaptions are either developed into an arena battle fighter or a sandbox game to explore the anime’s universe. Shonen anime such as Naruto and Dragon Ball Z have maintained an immense library of games dedicated to the sub-genres. However, a rare occasion amongst the adaptations occurs when popular series are envisioned as fighting games. A 2D game with flashy visuals and fan service through an array of moves. I cannot think of a better series that translates better as a fighting game than Jujutsu Kaisen.

The theatrical release of Sony Picture’s Morbius has certainly… made a movie for awaiting Marvel fans. What was unexpected of the movie was having not one but TWO post credit scenes.

Morbius is the first Marvel movie to leak the upcoming roster for Capcom’s Marvel vs Capcom 4: Worlds Collide.

Fighting games can die. At least, that is the illusion a community can paint without diligent care for a game. Our social media age can influence a gathering with a screenshot without context and pass as facts. In this case, fighting games that have suffered from the lack of smooth net code have always been dealt with growing fatigue. Sure, the game you are describing to your friends is fun but is it playable online? A haunting question that plagued the fighting game community (FGC) for years that has finally been exorcised. Rollback netcode is the future, but what will be of its longevity?

Hello, all. A quick update, I updated the site!

Nothing too fancy. Made a proper homepage because the default before hand was the Posts. Included a Newsletter page to make the old subscriber menu less in-your-face. Added a dark mode because what was I thinking?

I also got around to learn about SEO and got the website verified. In short, QB the Great Blog should be showing up on google more organically outside Facebook and Twitter. Why yes, it did take me a whole year to figure out. Thanks for asking.

I have more plans in the mix but I wanted to update the normal crowd of the changes to the website. Thanks for bearing with any mistakes.

Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) are famous for timeless designs, jaw-dropping abilities, and memorable storylines. Coincidentally, JRPGs also have an infamous reputation due to their substantial length. This juggernaut of a genre packs content and side quests for players to immerse themselves. While old JRPGs certainly made the virtual grind adventurous, modern games have opt for a friendlier tone.

It has happened to you before. You are cruising along the first hour of the game you picked up and the option finally appears. Long gone are the singular, “Talk to …” mission or “Move to this area” objective. You are finally tasked with continuing the story or delving into the notorious side mission. An excursion that will either heighten your enjoyment or bore you with busy work. While other elements can spell for success or failure, the allure of a side mission is paramount.

Sub vs Dub: A Fruitless Debate

When presented with two options, humans will always argue over which is better. Apple vs PC, Coca Cola vs Pepsi, white meat vs dark meat, etc. Regarding the entertainment medium, Sub vs Dub to established anime fans is considered life or death. It is the basis for whether you truly experience the content to its fullest or as a fleeting joke never to be revisited. To me, matter of preference has no effect on my viewership. Whether it be subbed or dubbed, whichever enhances my enjoyment will be the winner.
