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: God of War Ragnarök

 

"Fate only binds you if you let it. Do what is necessary; not because it is written."

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome once again to another video game summary.

 

You may remember that I love to do this every once in a while, if I find a game that I truly like and fall in love with.

 

And HOO boy!

 

I fell in love with this one.

 

So much so that I'm watching the gameplay on Youtube for the third or fourth time in a row right now.

 

Yeah, I know. It's an obsession at this point, but it's a good kind of obsession and you can't tell me you wouldn't be feeling the same way, or that you aren't.

 

This game maybe didn't win Game of the Year, but it won the highest number of awards anyway, and between the story, the score, the vocal performances, and general roundup, I'm reasonably sure that it's a fitting ending to the Norse Saga.

 

What am I talking about, you ask? Why, God of War Ragnarök, of course!

Tome Thursday: God of War (2018)

 

Hello everyone!

 

So I know I said I wouldn't do this anymore, but ... yeah, I'm doing it.

 

One last time.

 

If this were a different blog post I'd insert a Theoden King gif in here just because I could haha! But as it happens, there's no gif, just me wrapping up the post series with an unexpected addition.

 

God of War kind of took me by surprise and by storm, and that said I've gone through the Greek portion and now the Norse portion fairly quickly, all things considered.

I've already read and watched and reviewed pretty much all there is to the big main games of the series, and thought I was done.

Then I read the official novelization.

And nope, I was not done.

The 2018 God of War book is the choice of the night, and man ... man, is it a doozy. RANT AND SPOILERS AHEAD. You have been warned.

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.
