Ok so I beat Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake's main story within 10 days

  All things considered, I could have and should have finished it a few days earlier. For context, the game was released on November 14. I beat Zoma for the first time 9 days later. In comparison, I have the 2D version–which I’ve owned it for almost years along with DQ1 and DQ2–and haven’t yet collected all of the Orbs in comparison. Yet I beat this version of the game in 9 days. While I was…

Here's a brief recap of some events from just 2000 to 2024 that paved the way for the rise of the new political reality to come

  I’m writing this largely for the benefit of some new subscribers who are also classmates in one of my college courses this Fall semester. The timeline of events I’m about to cover that lead to the current political reality in America can actually be traced back about 110 years ago when the Democratic Party and the Republican Party switched political ideologies with each other. Everyone knows…

I know I haven't written in a while but I've been watching anime on Crunchyroll all year...and listening to Anime-related podcasts

  The last few years have made Anime fans feel spoiled to say the least. There’s something for everyone out there these days and that’s always good.   For those who might not know, Crunchyroll launched an official podcast called The Anime Effect in January. They actually release two podcast episodes a week though only one a week is made available fore viewing via the Crunchyroll platform. You can…

It's now safe to say Persona 4 and Persona 5 foreshadowed current events in the U.S.

  I said “foreshadowed”, not “predicted”. For context, both games were developed a few years before Donald Trump’s first term as president. Persona 4 was originally released on the PS2 in 2008 (P4G was first released 4 years later) while Persona 5, which was announced in 2012 was released in 2016 on the PS3, and PS4 and Xbox One (Royal was first released two years later first on the PS4 and Xbox…

Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of The Seven has no business being as good as it is

  Like the Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Unicorn Overlord and the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, we have a Game of the Year 2024 candidate here. I played the Demo and bought the 2D port a few months back but when I got the full game on the Switch (bought physical), I was floored…and VERY excited at the idea of Romancing Saga 3 getting the full 3D Remake treatment too! For those who might not…

Ok so it turns out Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake is the game's official name

  I preordered the Switch version of the game via Amazon. The code for the preorder bonus was emailed to me about 8 hours before the game arrived on my doorstep. Before I continue, I want to make sure to mention this is actually my THIRD copy of a version of this game. I first got the mobile version on my iPad almost 10 years ago along with DQ1 and DQ2. I also got the trilogy on my Switch two…

Review: World of Warcraft: The War Within

  WoW’s latest expansion went live in August and it is also Part 1 of The Worldsoul Saga which will span three expansions that were all announced last year at BlizzCon: The War Within (TWW), Midnight and The Last Titan (TLT). Since it’s being called a ��Saga”, it’s fair to assume certain plot points from TWW will carry over to Midnight and/or TLT. More on that in a bit. Now celebrating it’s 20th…

Oh, the irony of The Deep State now officially running the Federal Government

Remember all the stuff Trump accused the Dems and the media of for literally eight years? Remember all that? He’s literally about to do that and more hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans starting on Day 1. The people he appointed to run the CIA, Department of Defense, FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have all vowed to personally see to it. Trials are unlikely but if they…

To the shock and horror of the free world, America has chosen to reinstate Donald J. Trump as President

The American experiment is now officially over. The majority of the 81 Million people who voted for him just don’t know it yet. Emphasis on yet. When it’s all said and done, they themselves will look back on November 5, 2024 as the day they killed what was revered as the greatest Democracy in the history of the world for 248 years. Many are comparing Trump’s return to power to Hitler’s rise to…

Are we living in The Last Generation?

  Honestly, I don’t know. What I do know is if the entire Christian world cared to know Prophecy over the last almost 200 years, they would be better prepared for what is about to hit America and the world like a ton bricks. The general sense of great unease most of the world felt at the news Trump will be reinstalled as President of the United States speaks to the fact this is the prelude to a…

Pastor Doug Batchelor delivers a simple and honest Election Autopsy Report in 11/9/2024 Sabbath Sermon

  When he opened with talking about the fall Babylon and what was going on the night it fell, I knew exactly where he was going to go later on. One thing you have to give Pastor Batchelor credit for is the way he weaves scripture with current events in a way that’s easy for the common man to understand and follow. Unlike the Prosperity Preachers and Christian Nationalists of today, he kept things…

I woke up this morning remembering everything I learned from the Bible about Last Day Events

  This post is mainly directed at two groups of people: Those who either hold no faith and those who were raised in a Christian faith and left. First I want to speak directly to those who left a Christian faith either recently or years ago. Find a new church and find a church with a congregation that openly practices what the Bible teaches. John 13:35 states “You will know them by how they love…

With Donald Trump having been re-elected as President, America is now on the railroad track to becoming the Second Beast Power

  To the shock and horror of most of the world, America has chosen to reinstall Donald Trump as President. Based on the flurry of information that’s been coming out since Election Night, it’s more than fair to assume The American Experiement is over. We already know from The Heritage Foundation, New Apostolic Reformation and “Prophets” or “Disciples” they’re not wasting any time dismantling the…

Some Final Pre-Election Day results-related thoughts

  As of 11:55PM EST Tuesday night a clear winner for President has not been announced and likely won’t be today. Election workers will continue working through the night though. As of now, Trump is 40 Electoral Votes from getting back in the White House. Yes, really. If this lead holds to 270 EVs, Trump will become the 47th president of the United States. Trump would also become the first person…

Here's a brief history on the rise of Right Wing Media, the fall of Mainstream News Media and the rise of the "Infotainment" News Media we have today in America

    I’ve talked about this in past posts in the last few years but given the significant role the media has played in shaping American politics over the last 40 or so years–and where we are right now politically as a country–it’s always good to review. As a reminder, there is no left-wing media ecosystem and–officially or unofficially–it’s more than fair to say there never was. Those who long…

These days, most Christians only want to hear doctrines and ideologies they agree with or are familiar with

  It’s not called The Information Age for nothing.   I’ve spending a lot of time over the last six years observing a clear ideological shift among what I call “Generational Believers”. I use that term to describe those who’ve learned and largely been exposed to the same doctrinal beliefs for several generations. My family is no exception. The reason that there are so many different Protestant…

FOur Months in, it's probably now fair to say #NXTNA has made Tuesdays and Thursdays must-see

  Rascalz, Jordynne Grace and Joe Hendry oh my!   It’s probably now fair to say WWE and TNA are metaphorically writing the next book on how to properly do cross-promotion bookings. You DON’T need to have your top stars on the other promotion’s show. More so if they’re already involved in an ongoing storyline. For example. Nic Nemeh FKA Dolph Ziggler is the current TNA Champion. As interesting as…
