My Complete Video Playthrough of Knack! (Playstation 4)

After reading many mixed reviews by both gamers and game critics, I decided to finally give this game a spin (or download in this case!) to see if it was worth the $10 I got it for on sale. I was pleasantly surprised! It's no $60 day-1 purchase mind you, but I coined the term "Crash Bandicoot meets Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots" to describe it. That has to peak your interest at least a little, right!?

So here's the game in all it's glory. At a hefty 13 chapters, this was no short experience! Enjoy!

Deadpool's Spanking New Comic Review of Spider-Gwen #1 (2015)

Greetings fellow humans and Skrulls! Your awesome buddy Deadpool, here! It's been a while since I've done one of these super-special-awesome-spectacular reviews (which you can thank Justin for with all that freaking "stream this" and "let's play" that bee ess. What a dick... stein. Dickstein.). Anyways, now that I've got him tied up in the corner, we can finally get back to the things you REALLY love to see, like my awesome-tastic reviews of course! And what better way to kick things off than to review a freaking comic!!? I know, I'm excited about this s@#t too!!!

(Justin made me promise not to say all of the sexist things that come into my head while I write this, so I won't... But oh MAN, there's so many things! I mean look at her... wow! Okay, okay, I'll stop... Maybe...)

How did Spider-Gwen come to be? Well, during the interesting Edge of the Spider-Verse storyline (issue #2 for you NERDS), one of the alternate universes we visited was one where Gwen Stacy had been bitten by the spider instead of Peter. An even bigger twist resulted in Peter being her first major villain, leading up to his DEATH! No, this is not a spoiler; this is in the very INTRO of the first issue, so don't go judging meh. Gwen proceeded to dawning an awesome costume, complete with some really confusing blue shoes that still kind of work somehow. This issue quickly became uber popular, to the point where it went into its fourth freaking printing in no time at all! That popularity rode it over to this new spin-off series we now have in front of us. Ahhhh, origin stories...

But we're here to talk about issue #1 now! It's all about #1 for the Gwen, baby! Leaving out that origin story I listed above, we dive right into the first story arc with the world already being completely established (take notes comic book movie makers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Gwen is a spunky teenage girl, being the drummer in a band and being an expert with smartphones. Her personality is really genuine, and it's a nice take away from all of the "perfectly good" and "perfectly evil" people we see in so many superhero comics. Props! We also get introduced to the first major villain we'll be seeing Gwen take on: The Vulture! We don't get to see the two of them clash web-to-wing much just yet, but this is only a single issue, and for what it is, we still get a surprisingly meaty chunk of story up in here!

The artwork is also nice. It's stylish and artsy, without being TOO artsy as to make you find it unrealistic or outlandish. Great comic art can do both in my opinion, and this one actually fits the bill quite nicely (which is good, because comics are getting freaking expensive! $3.99 to $4.99? Bitch, I got bills to pay!!!). The coloring is also really nice, as you see all kinds of different shades flying about, no matter what time of the day it is. It's not the greatest thing I've ever seen, but as a murderous sociopath with too many guns in the closet (and bedroom, and dining room, and living room, and bathroom...), who the hell am I to judge!?

Without even saying anything else, I have to point out that even for a first issue, this was just plain FUN to read! I don't think I remember getting this type of atmosphere in a comic since the days of Scott Pilgrim. It could be the fact that Gwen is in a band, while getting into cartoony superhero battles on subsequent pages, but it's definitely got a lot of heart and feeling put into it. I can only imagine bigger things to come out of this as the series continues, even if it doesn't follow with a battle against Matthew Patel.



I have also heard some complaints from... that side of the internet, saying ignorant crap like: 1. "Why would they replace Peter Parker like that? Peter is the ONLY Spider-Man!", 2. "They're shoehorning too many female superheroes at us. I will not be forced into this direction!", and my personal favorite 3. "Stop changing these established characters and universes. Create a new series with new people if you're going to do this!" Oye, where to begin? I'll do my points with numbers, since you people (yes, YOU people!) seem to read them better that way:

1. As stated above, this is in an ALTERNATE universe! No matter how many people you tell this to, it's like there's absolutely no way to get it into their heads. By all means, keep wasting our time complaining about things that aren't even happening! Yeeeeeesh!!!

2. Creating new female superheroes is not a sign of shoehorning. Forcing them in might be, but this (as well as just about any of the other female superheros Marvel has added to the mix like Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel and Kamala Khan as the new Ms. Marvel) is definitely NOT in that camp! Oh, you don't like that there's a female Thor now either? Guess what? The original Thor is still JUST fine, and will likely be back under the main Thor title before you know it! Gah, you're like the idiots who thought Superior Spider-Man was going to be the permanent status quo. Get a grip!!!

3. Aside from what I stated above in that this does NOT affect continuity in the main (or as the nerds now refer to it, 616) Marvel universe..., at least until the new Secret Wars story... maybe, creating an all-new series completely from scratch simply isn't going to sell for any character; whether male, female, or skrull. This works well for independent properties like Image, but in Marvel and DC's case, it does close to absolutely nothing. The only ones that succeed here, are the ones spinning off of other established worlds and stories. Go ahead and look at the top 10 best-selling comic books of 2014 and show me how many titles in that list don't have "Spider-Man" or "Wolverine" in them somewhere. Not a whole lot, is it? That's why you have to break out using those established worlds and do more with them.

There's only one simple way to say this, because no matter how many times people utter it, it never seems to click: WOMEN. READ. COMICS. TOO. In fact, almost 50% of comic readers these days are women. That female Thor we were talking about? Well, guess what? HER first issue IS in that top 10 list I was talking about. Winner of most of the "Best New Comic of 2014" lists? Ms. Marvel, baby! Am I saying all the people who read these titles are female? Of course not, but we are finally seeing some necessary changes. Years back, guys used to complain that women weren't into the same things as them. Now, it's finally happening and it seems like a bunch of guys are complaining about that too. Seriously, what do you guys want!? If I can get more women into the same things as me, then hell yes I'm going to do it. Who wouldn't want that? I can now schmooze with a lady, AND talk about Uncanny X-Men with her in the process! That's a WIN WIN! <3 <3

But I digress... This is about Gwen's big day, so let's give it to her! This series is off to an awesome start, and I can't wait to read the whole story arc in completion once it's done! This is THE big thing right now, and for good reason, so you may want to get in on this awesome if you haven't already. Also, "Death from a butt" may be my new favorite phrase ever.


9 Peter Parker Death Jokes Out Of 10


So I guess I do have one minor complaint with all of this, besides just wanting to read more asap... "Spider-Gwen?" Really? I know that was a name the fans came up with, but could we really not give her anything better to work with? No, I don't have anything better in mind at the moment, but surely someone within the fine minds at Marvel could take 20 minutes to figure it out! Ergh. Anyways, enough about my little rants. Awesome first issue! Read it! Rawr!

New Nintendo 3DS XL Impressions

I originally went into the New 3DS with some skepticism, mainly because the details we had on it didn't sound like much right off the bat. "Are people really going to care that it's a little faster, especially if there won't even be any unique titles for it until April?" I said a lot. And yet, I found myself shelling out for one anyway. Perhaps the power of Nintendo compelled me. Maybe deep down, I had a glimmer of hope that there would be much more to this than initially thought. Well, color me impressed. My hunch's can be wrong from time to time, and in this particular case, I'm very glad.

Awkward console naming aside, the New 3DS actually has quite a lot to make it worthwhile, even as we're waiting for its own unique titles to emerge. Let's start with the look of this thing. Since we did not get the standard New 3DS in the States (much to my dismay), and only the XL model, I will be focusing specifically on that.

If you're familiar with the look of the 3DS XL, there won't be many immediate differences. The structure is generally the same, with some minor tweaks throughout. The obvious change you'll notice right away is the analog nub on the right side of the bottom touch-screen. Made to emulate the 'C-Stick' seen on previous Nintendo controllers, this little nub is used in the same way as the second analog stick on the circle-pad pro. Depending on the game played, it's normally used to move around the camera for focusing. This is also especially useful in the game Kid Icarus: Uprising, where left-handed gamers were actually left out in the dust if they didn't purchase the circle-pad pro accessory. While it's no second circle-pad, it's definitely a giant improvement over having to pay extra money just to play a game that others didn't have to pay anything for. I wish Nintendo could have somehow just fit a second analog stick onto the system, but I can't complain too much since it's more than functional as-is.



A list of all the games that are circle-pad pro/c-stick nub compatible:

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy (Japanese version only)
Dynasty Warriors VS
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Nano Assault EX
One Piece Unlimited World RED
Resident Evil: Revelations
Samurai Warriors Chronicles 2nd
Steel Diver: Sub Wars

Of the games above, I currently have Kid Icarus, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Majora's Mask, and Resident Evil: Revelations. The nub definitely comes in handle for these titles, even if it's not a complete replacement for the analog stick. I'm looking forward to trying it with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate next, as I have a feeling that game will more or less demand it.

Turning the device over, you'll see quite a few more things have been changed around. The cartridge slot is now on the bottom of the console, as well as the stylus holder location. It felt a little strange at first, but I don't think this will be a deal-breaker for anyone. On the top, there are now two additional shoulder buttons, labeled "ZL" and "ZR." The shoulder buttons are in the same places, while the new ones are slightly toward the middle. It may look awkward from the pictures, but thankfully, they are not difficult buttons to reach. My fingers had little trouble using them on the fly after a few tries.

The next thing I should talk about is the new top screen. Whether or not you cared about using the 3D feature in the last version of the 3DS, there have been massive improvements made to it. The screen now uses stereoscopic 3D, which allows for wider 3D viewing. While it doesn't work for looking up and down, it does work for looking left and right, which greatly improves the overall focus without causing as much headache. This may be the second biggest improvement to the entire system.

So what's the biggest? Why, that would be the processing power! Yes, this is what's going to cause the most people to upgrade their handhelds the most. The hardware of this system has been significantly improved since the last time, now boasting faster load times and a more fluid dashboard. While this is all excellent, we unfortunately won't get to see much else out of it until more games (like Xenoblade Chronicles) come out for it.
Another new feature is the ability to use Amiibos by placing them onto the system's lower screen and loading the data off of it. Again, there are not many games that you can test with yet (mainly Smash Bros. as far as I am aware), but it's another welcome addition and something I'm sure will prove more useful as more games are released.



All these changes are great overall, but I'm afraid it's not all sunshine and rainbows. For starters, Nintendo has now changed the memory method from SD to Micro SD cards. While likely a better hardware design choice, this is naturally causing a lot of longtime fans to feel some annoyance. It also doesn't help that in order to change your Micro SD card, you have to actually unscrew the back of your system with a small Phillip's screwdriver. For a company that has always provided generally user-friendly interfaces, this is quite jarring. The system does include a 4GB Micro SD card thankfully, but anyone wanting to upgrade to a higher amount of space will have to endure this disappointing process.

Transferring your data is a long and tiresome process, due to Nintendo still having no unified account system, seen in platforms from both Sony and Microsoft. You have options, though none are really ground-breaking. The first is to wirelessly transfer the data from one DSi/3DS/2DS to the other. This is also the longest process and not recommended (I found out the hard way...). The second (and slightly more useful) method is to copy the data using a PC (I don't know if Macs can do this too, as it only references PC in the option menu).



There's one more small negative I need to add to this. As most people are already aware, Nintendo has decided to not include the AC adapter with the system this time around. Were you planning on selling your system toward getting a new one? Be ready to drop another $10 for an extra adapter in order to do so. Nintendo advised this was done to lower the system cost, but I (and many others) feel this was unnecessary and a very disappointing choice all around. I believe this would be the first time since the Gameboy Color that Nintendo has decided not to include a charger like this.

With all of the small negatives aside, it's still very easy to recommend the New 3DS, though many are not going to see much of a point until the system-specific games begin to come out. That's understandable, and it's a hard point to even argue with. If you had a DSi or one of the original 3DS models, then I can say that the upgrade is more than worth it. If you are a 3DS XL owner, it's a little tougher to justify the leap, when the system is not drastically different in any way. Either way, the unique games to come out for it will be the biggest draw for people and until we know more, there isn't much else to talk about in the meantime. Still, I can at least happily say that the system hardware will be worth it if and when you ever do decide to take that plunge.
