We're back, as I INCREDIBLY RELUCTANTLY list the worst Pokémon of each generation. (At least the first six generations) ((We'll see from there)) What is the basis for a determining a "worst" Pokémon? It's easy and scientific! I look at a list of all Pokémon created in each new region, and then I think to... Continue Reading →
The Bottom 5: Worst Generation 1 Pokemon
This was something that was suggested to me back when I did my Top Ten Pokemon of each [of the first six] generation[s]. (I like brackets) I was makin decisions on which Pokemon I loved from those Gens; why not go through and find the ones I had no particular affection for? There are so... Continue Reading →
Jab’s Game Reviews: World Heroes
WORLD HEROES: World Heroes is pretty much the bastards child of SNK's fighting game series. There are worse one-shots and little-known side games (Aggressors of Dark Kombat, for example), but the four games comprising the World Heroes Universe stand out as being beneath SNK's notice for the most part. The first game came out in 1992,... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: Generation Six Pokemon
Here's the sixth edition in my series on my favorite Pokemon from the first six generations of the series. I hope you have enjoyed it all to this point! Generation 6 is an odd one in that... there is a lot that I LIKE, but little that I LOVE. Even I was surprised by my... Continue Reading →
Jab’s TMNT Review: Overview Part 2
For part one in this series, click HERE! THE PLAYMATES TOY LINE:-Well crap, you want something every kid I knew was OBSESSED with, back in the day? Look no further. These toys were AWESOME- some were incredibly-detailed, some were HUGE, and plenty of them kicked ass. My brother and I had all kinds of these... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2
After seeing how close I had come by October, I knew that I'd definitely get 200 movies in by the end of 2021 unless something truly went awry. So then came the next thought... could I do it by the end of November? And that led me on a film spree where I averaged about... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: Generation Five Pokemon
After years and years of playing Pokemon, Generation 5 is the time when things finally started to change. With Generation 5 came improved Wi-Fi capabilities and a better device, the Nintendo 3DS (to be clear, Black and White were not 3DS games, but the 3DS' backwards compatibility meant they could be played on it). And... Continue Reading →
Jab’s Reviews: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Series Overview
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES:-And now, owing to the big turnout in votes for the Ninja Turtles, I'll be doing a big set of builds for the franchise! This will start off with the 1990s Movie series, then follow up with builds surrounding the trio of cartoons (leaving off Rise of the TMNT, which is too new... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: Generation Four Pokemon
So I bought a Nintendo Switch. And yeah, it SEEMS like a good idea. After all... there are so many good games, right? Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3! That Zelda one that everyone was on about! Something about Super Mario's hat! And another Smash Brawl Melee, probably! So many games. But nah. I really only bought... Continue Reading →
Jab’s Game Reviews: Double Dragon
Double Dragon Double Dragon was a pretty sweet game back in the day. Everyone I knew played the 1988 Nintendo version. One of the very first of the "Beat 'Em Up" genre, it has the standard plotline of "They kidnapped my girlfriend, so let's you and me go and beat down their asses, one by... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: September 2021, part 2
I feel like this will be a very short discussion this portion of the month, as I could probably just plug in "I played Fallout 4, like, A LOT" and be done with it. Why did I not play more of that game way back when I bought it? MOVIES After a movie-heavy start to... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: Generation Three Pokemon
Pokemon's Generation 3 is a weird one for me. In hindsight, it was a great, important generation. Introduced abilities. Gave us the first true system leap as Pokemon bounded from the Gameboy to the Gameboy Advance. Introduced some new battle mechanics. But man... when it came out, I was just so "meh" to it. I... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: September 2021
Last month, I lamented that I had only seen ten movies in the span of an entire month. I went on a September TEAR to make up for that! So let's get straight into the first half of September's recommendations. MOVIES Seventeen days, twelve movies. That's more like it. I kind of blew up in... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: Generation Two Pokemon
Welcome back, chums! Last week, we looked at my ten favorite Pokemon from the original series of games, Red, Blue, and Yellow! We're moving on to Generation 2 this week to see who is the creme de la creme from the Gameboy Color era of Pokemon. I love Generation 2, and I had a copy... Continue Reading →
Entertainment Rex: August 2021
Wait, don't I usually do two of these in a month? I do; this is usually split up into first half / back half so it doesn't get too wordy. But August was a pretty slow month in many regards, so by the time mid-August appeared and I had done very little, I figured I'd... Continue Reading →
