South Park: "Where My Country Gone?" Review(CAUTION: Some bad words)

Before I begin this review, I'd like to stop for a moment to acknowledge a piece of recent news. Yankee legend Yogi Berra passed away the other day, at the ripe age of 90. Yogi was a true legend of the game, both on and off the field. He was a major part of many championship winning teams, and he will forever be immortalized in the Hall of Fame as one of baseball's greatest ambassadors. If you are a baseball fan, or a sports fan in general, I urge you to spend a few minutes in remembrance of one of the greatest catchers who ever lived. All right, let's get on with the review. Season 19 for South Park started fairly well, with Season 19's premiere setting the tone pretty well. It was a little lackluster in the laughs department, which you'll be happy to know is fixed in episode 2, entitled "Where My Country Gone?" South Park has featured immigration before, but in episodes like "Goobacks" it was treated as more of an abstract concept. Wit

WWE Night of Champions 2015 recap

Seth freaking Rollins. I have nothing to add other than that. I've been watching most of the PPVs, and I finally decided to start recapping them. Let's get to it RECAP 1st match:  Intercontinental Title Match          Winner: Kevin Owens(new champion) Alright, so we kick off with.......Ryback vs Kevin Owens. Really? I mean nothing against these two, but they shouldn't be starting a PPV. This was designed to be a slow, methodical match between two big guys, and that's what it was. A slow match shouldn't start a PPV, period. Other than that. no problems until the finish. I know Owens is supposed to be the dastardly heel, but I would've preferred a more flattering finish. The eye rake was fine, but a Kevin Owens match shouldn't end with a roll up. Congrats new champ, you will get buried within six months, tops. Lesnar vs Taker scheduled for Hell in a Cell  Eh, not much from me. Hopefully they actually come up with a decent finish this time. 2nd matc

South Park: "Stunning and Brave" Review

I am a huge fan of South Park, actually of most animated comedies for that matter, so I figure I would post a review of the Season 19 premiere and see how I enjoyed it. After the horrendous episode that was Season 18's finale, I went into Season 19's premiere not expecting much, and didn't get much more. The problem with this episode was that it just wasn't funny. The plot was actually pretty intelligent, and there was some interesting character moments to be had, but a South Park episode should be good for at least a few laughs, and that was not provided. The episode is a look into some of the social issues of the past few months, mainly focusing on Caitlyn Jenner(I just realized that how she spells her first name, so strange) and the Deflategate scandal. Honestly, I thought the episode was perfect for these two issues: interesting for 10-15 seconds of dialogue, but then completely boring after that. On the positive side, this episode introduced us to a new charact

FIFA 16 Demo Impressions(Warning: RANT)

Alright, so I've taken an extended leave of absence from the blog, but I'm back for now. I'm looking for some new games to bring to my blog, since I'm bored of playing NHL 15 and NHL 16 doesn't look too promising. I'll be looking at demos for games like FIFA, PES and anything else I see pop up. I skipped Madden, after planning to buy it, because the game looks like a trainwreck. I might look at bringing that to the blog later, but not right now. (For those wondering, I also play a lot of games on my computer. I own OOTP, FM, Eastside Hockey Manager, and I'm planning on getting Franchise Hockey Manager 2, but I'll let you in on a secret. I actually live post these games, meaning when you see a trade happen in GM mode, it's something that just happened, making it difficult to make posts of computer games, as I use the same machine to blog and play). I've been playing FIFA for a few years now, having started with FIFA 12. For most of that time,
