Talkie Tuesday: God of War III

 

"My vengeance ends here."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So I know that not all of you are fans of these videogames, which is why I'm going to be wrapping up my romp through them with this blog post, unless I end up reading the book adaptation in the next little while to add to the collection as well.

 

But for the most part, we've now pretty much come full circle, since we already know what happens to the protagonist afterwards!

 

Well, we THINK we know, in any event.

 

For the past few weeks we've been trailing after Kratos, the demigod son of Zeus, who is on a quest for vengeance because the Greek Gods made a tactical mistake and didn't understand what they ended up creating through their machinations and promises and debts to the guy.

 

I mean, you want to talk about hubris? These idiots have it in spades, and they don't realize what's happening until it's much, much too late.

 

So without further ado, let's look at God of War III.

Tome Thursday: God of War II

 

Hello everyone!

 

Did you by any chance miss your regular dose of decapitating, family-murdering, and other blood-related sports for a bit?

 

Have you been wondering just what to do with your time without all of the above?

 

Not to worry, I'm back with more of it!

 

And if you think I'm kidding you really should pay attention when someone name-drops Kratos, because man, the dude's entire philosophy on how to deal with the world is to literally kill whoever's in his way. With the formal announcement (trailer PLUS gameplay!) for Ragnarok at the Playstation showcase, the hype really is on to see our Spartan again.

 

Especially as he seems to have mellowed out a bit in his old age.

 

But not in this one! In this one he's still very much at the peak of his existence, one would say (though you could also always argue about it), and he hasn't really got time for all your diplomatic and peacekeeping nonsense.

 

God of War II picks up practically a sneeze after God of War and, well, it's got some style, lemme tell you.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Ubisoft Forward

 

As you guys can see, this week is just a little bit different all around!

 

So I may not be a big gamer myself - I mean, I don't even own a console and my PC is definitely NOT game approved lol, it tried valiantly and almost died one time so we said no in the end - but I really enjoy watching gameplays on Youtube (and have recently been getting into the Twitch streaming side of things).

 

Needless to say, it's amusing to watch these videos primarily because of the gamers behind them.

 

I mean, most of it is the gamer being chased around by massive monsters and shrieking their head off!

 

Listen, if you've never experienced that, you should, it's hysterical.

 

Overall though, I accidentally watched last year's Ubisoft Foward and actually caught the announcement trailer this year so thought to myself, why not try something out of the norm for this week's blog post?

 

And so here we are. Let's jump right into what went down during the event, shall we?
