It’s been a rollercoaster of suspense and surprise for fans of Resident Evil, one of the most enduring horror franchises in gaming history. Now, whispers of a new chapter—Resident Evil 9—are making their rounds, and the details, while scarce, are tantalizing enough to keep us on the edge of our seats. A Long-Awaited Return Resident Evil 9, still shrouded in mystery, may finally see the light of day in early 2025, according to recent leaks from a reliable source in the gaming community. The leaker, Dusk Golem, who has a reputation for accurate predictions in the Resident Evil universe, suggests that development has been underway since 2018. If true, this would mark nearly seven years of work behind the scenes—a significant investment of time even for a series as celebrated as Resident Evil. Setting the Stage: A New Playground for Horror What makes Resident Evil 9 particularly intriguing is its rumored setting. Unlike the European village from Resident Evil 8 or the Louisiana swamps of R...

My PS5 has been gathering dust lately. Between work, family, and the never-ending quest for a decent night's sleep, video games haven't been a priority. But when I finally booted up my console yesterday, a surprise awaited: Black Myth: Wukong. Remember those jaw-dropping trailers that set the gaming world ablaze a few years ago? Yeah, that game was suddenly ready to play. A wave of curiosity, mixed with a dash of "I'm too old for this," washed over me. Still, I couldn't resist diving in. First Glimpse: Art That Breathes From the moment the game loaded, it was clear this wasn't your average button-masher. The visuals are simply stunning. Think Chinese mythology brought to life in vivid, almost tangible detail. It's not just pretty; it's immersive. One moment, you're creeping through a moonlit forest that feels both eerie and enchanting. The next, you're sweating bullets in a volcanic cavern that radiates oppressive heat. The world of Black M...

I'll admit, I was  hyped  for 'The Acolyte.' Like, staying-up-late-refreshing-Disney+-hyped. A Star Wars series set during the High Republic era? Sign me up! But after three episodes, I'm feeling...conflicted. This show is a weird mix of awesome Jedi showmanship and questionable dialogue. Let's break down what's working and what's making me cringe. "The Acolyte" drops us into a time when the Jedi Order is supposedly at its peak, but the very first episode hints at the darkness lurking beneath the surface. We're introduced to two sisters, (former?) Jedi-in-training Asha and the more rebellious Miara, played with captivating intensity by  Amandla Stenberg . Their complex relationship becomes the emotional core of the series. Their paths diverge as Asha seemingly embraces the Jedi way while Miara walks a more dangerous path. The episode's stunning visuals, from the vibrant cityscape to the serene Jedi Temple, transport us to a familiar yet fre...

From the first frame, "Civil War" feels like a movie you don’t really want to watch—dragging its feet through a dystopian America that seems too real to be entertaining. Yet, there’s something about the crumbling ruins of this fictional United States that grips you, a deep-seated fear that compels you to stay, hoping for a payoff. Alex Garland, known for his cerebral sci-fi masterpieces, plunges us into a world teetering on the edge. The film's premise promises much: a nation divided, rebel factions clawing for control, and a president barricaded in Washington, D.C., fighting for a third term. It’s a setup ripe for explosive revelations. Instead, the narrative crawls at a snail’s pace, each scene dripping with tension yet weighed down by a sense of inertia. You find yourself glued to the screen, not because it’s thrilling, but because the dystopian reality it portrays is disturbingly plausible. Garland's strength lies in his ability to make the viewers feel every grai...

I settled in to rewatch "Avengers: Infinity War" last night. You know the scene— the snap . It always gets me. Thanos, with his misguided sense of cosmic justice, wipes out half of all life in a blink. This spurred me to finally write this blog:  Was Thanos right? Yes, he's a villain. His methods are unthinkable. Yet beneath his purple skin and imposing chin lies a genuine concern: overpopulation and resource depletion. Is his solution monstrous? Absolutely. But the issue he highlights demands attention. So, was his cold logic flawed but fathomable, or utterly misguided, despite our knack for self-destruction? Humanity’s Impact: A Double-Edged Sword Humans have profoundly impacted Earth. Our numbers have soared, outstripping many natural systems' ability to recover. We've shrunk forests, drained freshwater, and polluted air and oceans. This strain fuels conflicts, drives species to extinction, and amplifies the effects of climate change. From Thanos' bleak vie...
