About Me

 Welcome to my blog. I'll be posting about things I like such as movies, video games, and other nerd hobbies. This is my first ever blog, so I'll still figure things out.

Yakuza 2 (and Kiwami 2) Cover Arts

Image
  A year after the first Yakuza game released, Yakuza 2 would be released in store shelves. Taking place a year after the first game's events, Kiryu and Haruka would live a peaceful life until he learns of a dangerous feud between the Omi Alliance and the Tojo Clan. He would eventually meet the Dragon of Kansai, Ryuji Goda, who would become his greatest rival and is present in the game's (and it's remake) covert art.  Like the first game, Yakuza 2 has different cover arts based on the region, so I'll judge them based on how they look and to see if it represents the game well . This is the cover art for the Asian versions of the game. Following the first game, the image is monochrome with Ryuji, the Dragon of Kansai and Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, looking at each other with their back tattoos facing towards us. Both of their dragon tattoos represent who the characters are, with Ryuji's representing his ambition and Kiryu's representing balance and protection. It...

Absent-minded Giovanni

  Hello, it's been over a year since I last posted. Going through school, having a job, and overall losing a bit of interest made me put the blog in a bit of a hiatus. Since I'm currently done with summer classes, I decided that now would be a good time to get back to blogging. I'd like to discuss the animated Soviet short "Absent-minded Giovanni" . A few years ago, I first learned about this short from a Twitter account that posted Soviet animations and was drawn to its unique art style. The backgrounds resembling abstract paintings and the characters having two colors on their faces reminded me of the ENA web series by Joel Guerra  , which makes me wonder if it was an inspiration. Maybe I'll make a post on the ENA series one day.                                                               ...

Seriously Ridiculous: Spider-Man 2099

Image
  In any form of media, whether it be from a show, movie, or video games, there will always be a character that's on the serious side. Usually they're not meant to be taken as a joke, but sometimes the things they do are so ridiculous that you can't help but laugh at them. This was originally going to be a list, I decided to turn this into a series since every character I can think of has so much going on for them. For the first post in the series, I'll go over Miguel O'Hara (AKA Spider-Man 2099) from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Before he made his debut in Across the Spider-Verse, he was featured in the post credits of the first film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The post credit shows Miguel preparing to enter a different universe for the first time and lands on Earth-67, the universe of the Spider-Man 1967 series. I'll put the clip here in case if you haven't seen it. The fact that Miguel is already pissed off at the Spider-Man accusing him o...
