Talkie Tuesday: GOWR Valhalla

 

"You have always been more than what others saw."

 

Hello everyone!

 

And Happy New Year!

 

I hope that you had a wonderful celebration with friends, family, or others who bring you as much joy as they possibly can, and that you ended 2023 on a good bang. 

 

Also, that 2024 will bring you everything you may want or need, even if you yourself don't think you do. Because sometimes, getting the unexpected and realizing that it's exactly what we would have asked for if we'd known to ask, is probably the best solution.

 

As far as this blog goes, well, we're back on the regular grind now!

 

And boy, do I have a banger for you tonight.

 

Released at the start of December, completely free of charge and made specifically for the fans, this particular subject has probably garnered plenty of praise purely based on that alone.

 

Then you figure out the what, who and why, and it gets even better. Because it's God of War, Ragnarok, to be precise, and its DLC: Valhalla.

 

Talkie Tuesday: HFW Burning Shores

 

"Home isn't really a place at all. It's more like ... the people I want to be with."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So here's a story for you:

 

I was all set to watch a Hannah Swensen mystery this past Sunday, because I remembered that I really enjoyed the Murder, She Baked on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

 

Turns out, as I start watching the movie I'd chosen, it looks ridiculously familiar.

 

Aaand I already have it on the blog.

 

Given the fact that the newest entry only really premiered this weekend as well, I won't be able to watch it until a week's past, so I had to call an audible and switch gears real fast.

 

Luckily for me (and my unfortunate head with the biggest potential for a migraine I've had in forever) I was only about an hour away from finishing something else, this time on Youtube.

 

So I picked the DLC that everyone and their mother's been waiting for since Guerrilla announced it.

 

Burning Shores picks up Aloy's story, and runs with it.

 

Talkie Tuesday: HZD The Frozen Wilds

 

"Only in the struggle against death to we find, even for a moment, the spark of life."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So I kind of lied to myself.

 

I figured I'd review Horizon Zero Dawn and then move on to movies and TV shows again, but then I started watching the playthroughs for the DLC and ... well.

 

The rest, as they say, was history.

 

To be fair I didn't think I was going to review the DLC until somewhere three quarters in though. Initially I definitely thought I'd just watch it, and actually already decided not to touch the review somewhere at the halfway point.

 

But then I just couldn't not.

 

Both the DLC and the main game are probably some of the best I've watched in a long, long time, so I thought they both deserve the recognition.

 

Which means we're heading into The Frozen Wilds.
