Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless

If it's not broken don't fix it. Don't fix it, but maybe build upon it. That seems to be the mindset that NIS developers adhere to in regards to the ongoing Disgaea saga. As a returning reviewer, and a longtime series fan I find the continued usage of features that carry over into "Disgaea 7", and the former releases to be a welcome sight that is not disappointing in the slightest. It allows veteran players like myself to jump right in, learn the new tricks, and enjoy the new story content as well as the infamous grind. Even with new twists on older mechanics involved it's familiarity makes the series player feel welcome. 

The added fact that we get a new game with a new story and new characters made for modern consoles is a huge bonus. Needless to say, if you are a fan or a returning player you'll feel right at home once again. If you are a newcomer to the series you are in for a treat as well. The latest game is equally as inviting for those new to the series as it is to seasoned veterans due to it's standalone story, and everything being explained along the way via the usual tutorials.

Maruchan | Cheddar Cheese Flavor Yakisoba - A Food Review

Most every kid knows of the wonders of instant ramen. That affordable MSG flavor packet inclusive kind that takes some water, and a microwave to prepare. The kind of sh*t college students survive on. You've got various flavors to choose from including, beef, chicken, creamy chicken, and even shrimp. There's a flavor for everyone, and everyone has a favorite go to flavor. Mine has always been the default chicken flavor, for those of you wondering. While instant ramen is fairly much the same across all brand names there's one that's stood out above the rest though. It is known as Maruchan. It is the brand most American ramen lovers enjoy. Myself included. 

Chipmonk! | PS4 Review

Move over Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! There's a new team of mutants in town! The medieval martial arts marsupials that are the Chipmonks come armed and ready to face off against the furry fiends of the forest who have stolen away their stockpile of food. As either Grey, Cheeks, or Red you'll put sword and paw to use as you fight brawler style against the mobs who are standing between you and your only food source. Traversing the seasons stage by stage you'll face both mobs and bosses while making use of magic mushrooms, an acorn supply of health, and a stock of three lives. Going solo, co-op, or pvp in a total of three distinctly different modes built around the retro inspired combat.

Mortal Kombat 1 | WOKEALITY!!!

Before I begin I'd like to give a shoutout to my friend Mario who jokingly messaged me at the time of me playing through MK1's story mode. His message, "Wokeality" is part of this post's title for a good reason. What I'm about to tell you is no joke though. I'm not taking the piss, or spinning some completely unfounded tinfoil hat conspiracy theory. It is based on my direct observations of content contained within MK1's story mode as it pertains to irl goings on. It's about various details that are inserted for obvious political reasons, and quite possibly predictive programming. I have no doubt in my mind Ed Boon, and his team at Netherrealm purposefully included specific references that hint at something outside of the game. Possibly to showcase their allegiance to the woke ideology as well as the New World Order.
