I’ve seen Avengers Endgame twice since its release and though I enjoyed the experience, I just don’t believe it was the perfect conclusion to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) everyone is claiming. Truth be told, when compared to Avengers Infinity War, Endgame doesn’t quite match up -- and there are some very specific reasons. Fair warning: spoilers ahead. The tone of Endgame begins right where Infinity War left off with the remaining Avengers reeling from the loss of the friends and … [...] about Review | Avengers Endgame

Review | Sicario: Day of the Soldado
I recently watched Sicario: Day of the Soldado, more to settle a debate between Tango and Luellen, than any desire to see the film. Don’t misunderstand, I thoroughly enjoyed the original because the film didn’t ask … [...] about Review | Sicario: Day of the Soldado

The Division 2 Alternative
The last few months of gaming releases have been anything less than spectacular. With the much maligned release of Fallout 76 (Bethesda) late last year, and the dumpster fire called Anthem (BioWare / EA) released less … [...] about The Division 2 Alternative

Liverpool Make History
It is an interesting time to be a Liverpool supporter in light of their recent history making come-back against Barcelona last Tuesday. Long have I endured the collapse of the club, weak managers, and failed attempts to reach the pinnacle of the Premier League. There have been mistakes, slips, hiccups, and directionless seasons but I remained faithful while echoing, "You'll Never Walk Alone" to my … [...] about Liverpool Make History
Liverpool with Five Left
Am I nervous? Of course. Do I think Liverpool Football Club can win the remaining five games left in the 2018/19 Premier League season? Uh, yes. Do I think Liverpool will win the Premier League for the first time since the league was formed 26 years ago? Now that is another matter. Why? Because Liverpool don't control their own fate. Manchester City, the Pep Guardiola led juggernaut, is currently … [...] about Liverpool with Five Left
Anthem Had One Chance
It's been a while since I've seen a game associated with so much hype land with such a thud. Much like finding a turd in the proverbial punch bowl, EA and BioWare's recent release of Anthem has been met with distain and community backlash. Is this No Man's Sky bad? Could it be Apple Maps bad? I think there's no way to know until we seen how this dumpster fire turns out but the list of strikes … [...] about Anthem Had One Chance
Time to Uninstall Destiny 2
Rip, why the hell would you uninstall one of the greatest looter-shooters of all time?! Thank you for your question, random person. Allow me to elaborate. Destiny 2 has been in my gaming rotation since its release on September 6, 2017. As the sequel to the original title, Destiny 2 took off with great anticipation. The campaign was fascinating and the recently formed original Guardian Down … [...] about Time to Uninstall Destiny 2
Four New Faces at Liverpool
August 11, 2018, marks the beginning of the 2018/19 Premier League season in England and I cannot remember being this excited about a campaign in a long time. Why? Jurgen Klopp. He arrived at Liverpool almost three years ago and implemented wholesale changes. Brendan Rodgers weak leadership quickly faded as Klopp changed tactics, but most importantly, he slowly changed personnel. I find myself … [...] about Four New Faces at Liverpool
Review | Solo
Despite a host of negative reviews, I decided to return to the Star Wars universe to catch SOLO. What followed was a festival of boredom, a yearning to leave the theater early, and deep regret in paying full price (albeit, a friend paid) for a pedestrian film best reserved for the discount shelf at your local convenience store. So, why don’t we get into this SPOILER-FREE review of SOLO. What … [...] about Review | Solo
Liverpool | The Aftermath
It's been a few hours since the 2017/18 Champion's League Final concluded. Real Madrid won their third consecutive cup fielding a team rich with talent but my heart centers on Liverpool Football Club and what could have been for the Reds. In the lead up to the game, Liverpool faced a monumental task of dethroning the Los Blancos giant. Pundits and supporters alike said Liverpool have a unique … [...] about Liverpool | The Aftermath
