    I really enjoyed Tales of Zestiria the X as a whole. The final episode was a bit lackluster, however. But the overall story was great. Beautiful animation to boot. The CGI was all top notch.

    The latest Aiz episode didn't really do anything for me. I kept hoping for a finale of Aiz watching Bell beat that monkey thing as his first real boss fight, but no such luck. Instead we get the useless magic bitch giving some plants a little frostbite. Dumb.

    Call of Duty: WW II 2017

    If any of you want to play the game right now (and cheat the system if you really want to), just go to Amazon and pre-order a physical copy of the game. They'll email you a code to use to create a CoD account to get into beta right now. Play for a few weeks, then cancel the pre-order, thus...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    It should have existed in the world of Winter Soldier without taking a huge break. Just make one of the last episodes Nick Fury in a chopper before Hydra takes over instead of what they really made happen. But realistically, the first season wasn't great. Bad Guy of the Week isn't a strong...

    Decent enough Tsuki episode. I really like that part of Kyoto. I've been there twice now, and it's just a gorgeous area. Anywho, it looks like they're both finally done being stubborn, but maybe there's still some more lame shit left, but the series could progress well from this point on. I...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    Every Tuesday in Honolulu is $6 movie day, all day long for any movie at the local theater chain (Consolidated). They upcharge ($10) for their version of imax and for "adult only" theaters that serve alcohol. It's a great price. They also sell $2 popcorn on Tuesday.

    I've never once played CoD multi-player. It's all about single player story for me.

    Losing your Job

    Hmm... I really like dealing with people, and I've always enjoyed computers. Not even for gaming. Just using them. Is CCNA a good starting point for a new career? I have no formal education in computers, but I've always worked on my own systems. But I am an big "people person". And would...

    I think it's what most of us were expecting anyway, so I wouldn't really call that a spoiler. More just a confirmation.

    13 Reasons Why

    I read the wikipedia plot of the book they made the show from. It didn't really seem to have any sort of resolution. Just a bunch of blaming (in the form of who gets the tapes) of why the fat girl offed herself. I doubt I will ever actually watch this. Really though, what was the point? Did...

    Well, this is in the Aliens universe, so it probably doesn't also share with Wick. But I hear that Wick shares with Jurassic World.

    I just tore through all 4 episodes of Quan. Wow, this show is great. I'm glad it's not "stuck in the game" style, and instead, just like watching some dude play a 1st person CoD style MMO. It's actually entertaining. Only thing I don't like are the stupid smiles the main character makes all...

    I must be a heathen, because I still like Avatar for what it was. The story is decent. It gives me a great "MMO" vibe. Remember the reports of all these people killing themselves after it came out, hoping that they would return to life in the world of Avatar? fucking idiots. But the movie...

    Regarding today's shows... Attack on Titan was pretty dope. It looks like the Titans are just Russians, though (ha). Hero Academy was a little dull, but I guess that was to be expected. He doesn't have full All-Might powers yet, so he's a weak bitch relying on others. Re:Creators, the flying...

    Losing your Job

    My wife moved to the US from Japan like 4 years before we met. So she was definitely some of the catalyst for moving. I NEVER thought I was going to leave Pennsylvania outside from taking vacations elsewhere, but then I actually thought about it. She left her parents to go to college and...

    The Magicians

    That's the vibe I got watching the plumber in action. Their parents are the ones that created the spring (turned on the hose), and then the kids are the ones that made a mud village around it.

    My old business still exists in Pennsylvania. My father owns it. I was merely the vice-president (in title only). I mainly did sales, though. I live in Hawaii, though. After 20 years doing, sheet metal, I realized it wasn't a passion. And that I didn't even know what my passion actually...

    Losing your Job

    It's a strange question. I've never really thought about what I "like" doing, because I've always had my life pre-planned out by my father who owns the family business. I was eventually going to take over when he died, but then we moved and it changed everything. I realize that I really like...

    Haha, you're not kidding. I have a friend that's a police officer. He said the #1 crime out here is crystal. #2 is actually child trafficking. That's on the DL though, because the politicians don't want it to be known because Hawaii is a state that is 100% dependent upon tourists, which is...

    How do you choose a new career? I'm only 35, and I have 20 years experience working with my family business. That business was Sheet Metal Fabrication, where I slowly grew from the kid sweeping the floor up to a required position needed for part production, up to sales, then eventually the...

    Berserk

    I'll be honest. I like Berserk as a concept, but the first 2 episodes of this season have done absolutely nothing for me. Granted, the animation is great. I like the rugged look of the show. The fighting/violence is good as well. But the story the first two episodes was more of the same as...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    I'm under the impression at this stage of the game that Marvel fully trusts in their product (for good reason), so they allow the directors to do what would be best for the brand. The universe isn't ending in the foreseeable future, so there is ALWAYS time to add more at a later date, rather...
