There’s Going to Be a Blade Video Game

Following the success of the Spider-Man video games, Marvel has got a lot of independent titles in the works. There’s going to be a Wolverine game, which should be awesome. I believe there’s also a Captain America and Black Panther game in the works. So why not add Blade?

I don’t know the developers off the top of my head, so I don’t know what type of game this is going to be. Action adventure? A roguelike? I don’t know, but by all means, make a Blade game. Just like they’ll make a Blade movie one of those days. I’ll probably be on board!

6 Things I Want to See in Grand Theft Auto VI

I’ve been writing this blog for a very long time. I did a search of Grand Theft Auto articles to see if I’d already done this list, and it turns out I started writing this blog even before Grand Theft Auto V came out more than a decade ago! Holy cow! Anyway, I found out that I hadn’t done this list specifically! We got the GTA VI teaser trailer yesterday, so let’s celebrate!

He looks like a goober

Between the new trailer and some earlier leaks, we already know a bit about the game. It’s a return to Vice City, the Miami stand-in. And we’ve got the first ever female protagonist for a mainstream GTA game. I really wanted that, so awesome! Though, personally, I had no interest in returning to Vice City. I wouldn’t mind a new location outside of Vice City, Los Santos or Liberty City. Heck, I’d even take a game in Las Venturas, the Las Vegas stand-in. But hey, I’m very flexible and I’m sure the setting will be awesome!

Join me after the jump for what I’d like to see in Grand Theft Auto VI, from gameplay elements to open world possibilities. And feel free to share your own game hopes and dreams in the comments below.

Grand Theft Auto VI is On The Horizon

We were all young once. We all played Grand Theft Auto V when it came out a decade ago, on our X-Box 360s and whatever. Those were good days, glorious days. And now the time is finally here to begin the proper countdown to Grand Theft Auto VI. Here’s hoping we all live that long!

Welp, looks awesome. Looks exactly how one would expect it to look, and that’s a good thing. Obviously this trailer is all about flavor and style, with a brief look at our new protagonists. And that’s all fine by me.

So yeah, I’m excited. We’ve known we were returning to Vice City for a while now, courtesy of various leaks. And we knew a female protagonist was coming. I’m all for that. And it’s clear that the game is going to lean very heavily into the ‘Florida Man’ insanity that’s developed in Florida since the last Vice City game. Sounds good to me!

I might even try to stay involved in the online community, considering how huge it got for GTA V. I gave up on that early, and then stuck around in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online for a long time, even after it became clear that Rockstar wasn’t doing anything for it.

Grand Theft Auto VI is coming 2025, probably. Hold on to your butts.

Did You See This Pokemon Concierge Thing?

This cartoon trailer dropped a week or two ago about Pokemon Concierge, and upcoming, stop motion animated show about a pokemon hotel. It’s crazy! And I only say it’s crazy because, in retrospect, the only thing we’ve ever really seen pokemon do in the past 20+ years is fight one another.

Pokemon is the most profitable and popular pop culture franchise in the entire world. And yet we’ve only ever had one ongoing cartoon show about Pokemon battles, and then that one Detective Pikachu movie. There have been plenty of spin-off games that aren’t about fighting, but those were never as popular as the mainline games. So perhaps, at long last, the pokemon company will be making products that aren’t just animal fighting matches.

Plus, the stop motion animation looks gorgeous! Pokemon Concierge comes to Netflix on Dec. 28.

I Never Played Five Nights at Freddy’s

I’m just not interested in horror games or horror movies. So I never bothered with Five Nights at Freddy’s, and I definitely never bothered getting into the deep lore videos on YouTube, because apparently that’s a thing. I did watch the recent movie, though, and as a non-fan, it was not that great. But hey, why not enjoy Tell It Animated‘s take on the whole thing?

I love Tell It Animated! He makes everything better! And it’s also a great way to kick off a Monday, so bully on that.
