Blog Update- 2021 + My Thoughts on Pixar's "Soul"

 It's been a long time since I've done a blog update, looks like the last one was posted at the end of September, but I thought it was appropriate with a new year dawning to let you in on where I plan to take this blog in 2021. Initially, this was intended to go up before the end of 2020, but I was busy and didn't feel like working, especially since I had put together such an extensive back catalog of my "Dynasty by the Bay" series to fill up December. 


Let's start there with my most recent project. Though I do love Madden 12, it's the game of my childhood, I've found the game to be very limited through my first season controlling the 49ers, especially when it comes to gameplay. That being said, I don't think my journey with that team is finished yet. I want to go through an offseason, and see my younger players, like starting QB Colin Kaepernick and Super Bowl MVP Kendall Hunter develop, plus get an opportunity to bring in new blood. I can't commit to going the entire five years I promised, but you can expect to see at least one more season being posted throughout January. 


I've already begun to look ahead to what comes after that series, and my initial plan was to start a new project on NBA 2K21. It's currently half off for those of us still on last-gen consoles, since the focus is on selling next-gen copies. That idea is still floating in my head as a possibility, but for now, I have something better. Since I began doing wrestling pay-per-view reviews earlier this year, I felt like eventually I would branch out to cover AEW. I was put off by their hefty price tags for main shows, I'm used to just paying a single figure amount for the WWE Network or Impact Plus, but I think I'm willing to take the hit, which is much smaller for their shows from last year. The tragic passing of Brodie Lee and their professional and touching tribute show in his memory inspired me to finally begin covering their company, I want to reward good people and these seem like good people. So, you can expect some AEW reviews in my future, began from their first pay-per-view as a company, Double or Nothing in 2019, and the plan is to cover episodes of Dynamite as well, my first time reviewing TV shows in wrestling. 


I know this has been a long post, but before I go, I want to give a shout-out to the folks over at Pixar for their newest release, Soul. Pixar films have always had a special place in my heart, and I always though their peak was Ratatouille, but I have to acknowledge that Soul has probably topped it. I don't want to say too much, for fear of spoiling this masterpiece for anyone that hasn't seen it, but please watch it if you haven't already, it needs to be seen by everyone. Soul inspired me to continue living my life to the fullest, no matter what is to come in these crazy times. 


I hope you stuck with me through all of that, but if you're skipping to the end, the main point is that nothing's really changing anytime soon, though All Elite Wrestling reviews are in my future. I'll hopefully see you back here again, possibly as soon as tomorrow, for the offseason for my San Francisco 49ers team, as we prepare to defend our 2011 title.

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
