Ramblings of an Englishman

(Apologies this was supposed to come out in February but I had to delay this and then forgot it, but I wanted to get this finished and released, please be aware a large portion was written up in February before any DLC announcement). After much anticipation and hype Kingdom Hearts 3 finally released on consoles around the world as of 29 th January 2019. I was quite lucky I was able to pick it up right away and play it. As a fan of the series I very much enjoyed playing through this instalment to see what it had to offer in terms of adding to the plot of the entire story of Kingdom Hearts in general. It seems that Kingdom Hearts 3 went from being the conclusion to the continuation of the series and in this post, I look to not only give someone thoughts to the characters and story involved but look to see what will happen going forward. With this in mind I put give a few ideas and speculation based on what we've heard throughout this game please be advised ideas nothing is the ...

I should preface this by saying this is more me talking about a game than a rigid essay or have a real structure to it like any past writing of mine. It’s been a long time coming I was over the moon when Fire Emblem came through my post box on Friday July 26th, I had waited a long time for this game to come and I wasn’t disappointed, all Fire Emblem games I’ve played I have enjoyed mainly for the characters in them, I looked up the houses beforehand and decided to select The Black Eagles as I see online I was in the majority, again as ever characters are the strength of a Fire Emblem game, seeing the evolution of them all is great to see, I love the quirks and personality of each character in that house that all feel different makes speaking to each one different and enjoyable. The addition of a full voice cast helps to sell this more then other games. However, as I do on a first play through for Fire Emblem I recklessly charge ahead through the story keeping with at least the main...

With San Diego Comic Con happening it was the perfect time for Marvel to announce their next slate of movies. The Infinity Saga is now done allowing Marvel to move on with some new and fresh ideas. I am to go through all of them to give my thoughts and excitement. But first of all I am really happy that Endgame is now the highest grossing film of all time. Even if it for a small moment in time it is a massive achievement for all at Marvel Studios and they deserve all the credit in creating a historic film such as this. Black Widow The next film for the MCU is the long awaited Black Widow film. I'm really looking forward to them expanding on the story to one of the original Avengers. The main thing I want to look into with this is the characters these movies and series will introduce Red Guardian, Yelena Belova and Taskmaster, that's a strong list a new characters to enhance this universe and Taskmaster is someone I have been hoping to see in the MCU for a while. The one main...

AEW returned for their third PPV outing with Fight for the Fallen. First thing that struck me was how nice this set up looked. This is a unique venue which means that they couldn't use the full set up they have the previous set up but the whole venue and set up had a very WCW like feel. It's a different venue from what I am use to seeing from the majority of companies. However, while the action of the pre-show was good (and I'll dive into that in a bit) it suffered from a large number of technical issues between the signal dropping out and close captions appearing on screen throughout the majority of the women's pre-show match. While good this errors did not appear on the main show as well it is still a bad look for anyone looking to watch in the end. It should be stated the rest of the show lacked those production issues, thankfully. As far as the librarian stuff goes it was the best it's been, the gimmick got the heat needed and was kept quick in the opening pro...

All Elite Wrestling returned to Pay Per View on 29th June 2019 for their second ever show entitled Fyter Fest, the main hook for this was the AEW debut of Jon Moxley against Joey Janela in what became an unsanctioned match. With this being the show following Double or Nothing it has a good amount of momentum to run with. The show had a 'B show' feel which i expect to carry on to Fight for the Fallen ready for All Out to be another major show. I went in expecting a good match card based on what was announced as well as some sort of announcement for Fight for the Fallen but overall the main aim to to continue the build for All Out. One quick side note, I felt that Goldenboy was a better third man commentator than Alex Marvez was at double or nothing, he seemed to add more to the commentary then Alex did at the previous show. As it seems with most wrestling pay per views a pre-show is used a free viewing for last few minute buys. However, for the most part I feel this pre-show d...

As this is an ever updating title this has a SPOILER alert. (Please note this is an old post made by me on a previous blog which I am moving over to here) For me there is nothing currently going that gets my attention more than the workings of Marvel with their Cinematic Universe. Ever since I was 11 with the release of Iron Man the characters and stories told have hooked me. Speaking of those characters, when it comes to the MCU there is a load of characters at the disposal of Marvel from those based on Earth to all around the cosmos, and the potential to release content set in the MCU is at an all-time high for years fans have wanted the stars of the films and stars of the TV & Netflix show to interact but never have had the chance. Perhaps they didn't have a better chance than with Lego Marvel Avengers a few years ago however  I was left disappointed at the game as it had the potential to deliver upon the use all these characters to tell a vast original story but decided t...

Over the weekend the wrestling world was treated to the first event of the new wrestling company All Elite Wrestling (AEW). With such a big event it was important to make a good first impression which I believe they did. Not only is a first  impression important this allows you to introduce fans to the wrestlers on the show to show who will be one of the bigger stars that AEW push. While I won't be going through each match I'll just be giving my quick thoughts on parts of the show and thoughts going forward. With the casino battle royal it's mainly set up to help establish a big time player in the winner and runner up. With Hangman Page winning and MJF as the runner up this was done well. This match was set to introduce a large chunk of the roster and give a lot of talent a chance to shine. Coming out of the match the likes of Michael Nakazawa, Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, Joey Janela and Jimmy Havoc all having good moments in the match. The main two of the match established ...
