Tome Thursday: Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Hello everyone!

In a slight departure from my usual reading material I'm diving into something else entirely tonight.

A little while ago, as I was watching a gameplay on Youtube, the channel suggested a different gameplay by the same person, and if you've looked at my blog post since you'll have seen that there are a couple of videos on here by him.

The Beaver does, after all, do AMAZING gameplays!

So when Assassin's Creed showed up on my feed, I was like ... it has Sparta? Wait, is it about Ancient Greece?

Sign me up!

So after getting into the whole gameplay thing I discovered that there is an actual, official novelization to the game proper. I grabbed the book ASAP.

Which means, assassins, it's time to pull down the hoods. Assassin's Creed: Odyssey awaits!

Saturday Synopsis: 300

"Go tell the Spartans, passer-by: that here, by Spartan law, we lie."

Hello everyone!

So as I wrote earlier this week somewhere, I decided to switch my blog posts around a little because I saw something on the television schedule that made me grin. 

Tuesday or Wednesday night, one of our channels aired 300, and I was stoked.

There is virtually nothing better to get you right out of the holiday cheer and back into the real world than some old-fashioned ass-kicking, which 300 delivers in spades and then some. Sure it's gory - but for all that it makes up with witty lines and ridiculous hilarity throughout.

Also, watching half-naked guys running around all muscled is a plus.

Since I'd already reviewed the sequel, I figured I might as well wait until this Saturday to post a review for the original movie from 2006 which pretty much made everything else Greek look fairly nansy in comparison.

I mean, come on - the Spartans literally lived for war, after all.

Tuesday Snippet: 300

Stop what you're doing. 300 is on tonight.

Talkie Tuesday: 300 Rise of an Empire

"Let it be shown: we chose to die on our feet rather than live on our knees!"

Hello everyone!

Happy New Year! 

I hope you rang it in well and that you've made all your resolutions and such. Me, I've never really been one for those, but I have made myself a few promises that I intend to keep. That being said, however, it's Tuesday again, and do you know what that means?

Another movie review!

And since there's literally no holiday cheer left - I wrung it all out in December, regardless that I kept on watching some Christmas movies after Christmas - I picked a VERY different movie for tonight.

I'm not entirely sure you can go any more different from cute and fluffy than covered with gore and blood.

Having more time for movies now means I catch the occasional one on television, and 300: Rise of an Empire aired a week or so ago, making sure I hunkered down, got my nibbles, strapped myself with a safety helmet, and watched the Greeks and Persians duke it out.
