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 the last few days of August, man. And those ratings … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: September 2021
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 of Pokemon Crystal for ages that I played over and … Continue reading Top Ten: Generation Two Pokemon
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 just package the whole thing together for the end of … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: August 2021
As it turns out, I am something of A Pokemon fan. I’m not a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination. Video games are a part-time pastime for me, and if they get too convoluted or difficult, my interest wanes rapidly. That said, the amount of time I have put into Pokemon across its many formats has to be ungodly. I have played a lot of Madden. … Continue reading Top Ten: Generation One Pokemon
Here’s the thing about me… I am not much of a gamer. I LIKE video games; I PLAY video games damn frequently. But it’s more that I’m not good at games, and because of that, I tire of individual titles easily. I also have a bad penchant for buying games and either NEVER playing them or playing them for about two hours and never touching … Continue reading Top Ten: Video Games of the 2010’s
Ah, so we’ve reached the end, my friends. My region-by-region review of the Pokemon franchise has pulled into its final destination, the Kalos region. How will it stack up against the rest of the series? First, let’s go to the recap: Region analysis is my attempt at judging each of the six Pokemon regions (Uh, that I’ve played. Sorry, Sun/Moon) in 7 relevant categories (Gameplay, … Continue reading Pokemon Generation Review: Kalos
I’m wrestling with whether or not to get PlayStation Now. I feel like… I’m already paying for PS Plus, which is its own $60/month thing. Do I really need Now? It looks like a bulk of the games on Now end up becoming Plus giveaways as it is. But then… Fallout New Vegas is on Now, and I really kind of want to replay that. … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: July 2021
Welcome back, chums! Last weekend I offered forth a fictional story based on one of the creepier Pokedex extras from the realm of Pokemon, and here is a second such entry in that series. If you like these, let me know… I’ll keep offering them up over time. One of them leaves his friends and stumbles towards me with shaky, uncertain steps. I lean just … Continue reading Tales From The Pokedex: Drifloon
When last we reviewed a Pokemon region, I covered my absolute favorite region of all the times, Sinnoh. As I mentioned, I just loved Generation 4 on every level; Sinnoh was my favorite region because they just did everything so damn well, and then it had the remakes of the Johto era games, and I think HG and SS are my two favorite games in … Continue reading Pokemon Generation Review: Unova
As before, let’s recap if you’re just joining us. I’m reviewing each Pokemon generation and region one-by one and measuring them against each other in seven categories. I’ve ranked each gen in each category, and am sharing the scores with you to determine how they rate. A score of 6/6 in any category means that the region was the best out of all six generations in … Continue reading Pokemon Generation Review: Sinnoh
This will come as no surprise to literally anyone who knows anything about me, but I play a LOT of Pokemon. I have essentially been playing Pokemon non-stop since 1998 or 1999. In one form or another, in one generation or another, I’ve been playing a lot of Pokemon for the last twenty-plus years. I remember playing Red on my laptop in college after accidentally … Continue reading Pokemon: A Bug’s Life
I have neither drank alcohol nor done a single type of extracurricular drug in my life. It’s always weird to say that. At best, it comes off as some kind of elitist bragging. At worst, it’s just an obnoxious statement signaling some kind of faux superiority. But there’s a point here, so hang with me! There are various reasons why I never have engaged in … Continue reading Classic Review: The Attack of the Children’s Card Games!
Welcome to the SWO Draft for May 2021! Historically, a lot of our drafts have been movie and television based. We’ve done the Best Movie Sequels (and Worst Movie Sequels), Best TV Shows of the Last Decade… a lot of stuff like that. There are a lot of different directions to go in the realm of movies and TV, and that’s such an easy fallback. … Continue reading SWO Draft: Best 90’s Video Games
Welcome back to Entertainment Rex, your twice monthly article series where I let you know what fun is out there to be had. Twice monthly is a good schedule. It’s my favorite way to schedule. Podcasts? Twice a month. Entertainment Rex? Twice a month? Stew’s Reviews? Twice a month! Everything is two times per month. It’s very symmetrical that way. I don’t really have an … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: May 2021
A little something different for you this entry. This isn’t a blog or a list or any of my typical musings… this is a foray into fiction on my part. I am a writer, but of late, I find I don’t have nearly the time I would like to devote to works of fiction. But I would like to share some of what I do … Continue reading Tales From The Pokedex: Cacturne
