Pronty is out now on Nintendo Switch!

The Weapon

There is no Pew Pew in Pronty. You get a bionic military javelin. It looks like an eel. His name is Bronty and he is extremely dangerous. A ton of different upgrades and combinations make Bronty an absolute blast to use. You don’t just shoot at enemies. You target them with Bronty and he strikes. You can charge him up and have him circle around you creating a barrier. Different combinations of buffs boost you to move faster, attack quicker, and live longer. I’ve got to say, the use of kit building in the game is really great and you make your own rules when it comes to fighting bosses.

Only 1 hour of gameplay?!

You can probably explore and expand your time in this demo, but you’ll get the point after about an hour. You start with a lot of skills and stats already. So you are thrown right into the thick of it. Combat is great! I’m just mashing buttons and getting kills. All of the difficulty settings are just adjusting different minor aspects of the combat to make it more difficult for yourself. You can’t just pick easy, medium, or hard. Like with God of War I started on hard. Games like this I feel you can never get the full experience of the combat when the enemies just keel over. I didn’t die once. A little low on life a few times, but I just kept going. The world map looks great, the traversing is great. You don’t need a mount when you can run hella fast and jump and flip over every obstacle. Forspoken will be my first major game for 2023. Check me out when I steam it on January 24, 2023. Below you can watch my replay from the demo.

Most disappointing game I have played in years.

It’s been over a year or maybe longer since we’ve been covering news and building self hype for Gotham Knights. At the time, it appeared to be a 4 player Batman Arkham Asylum type game. First major disappointment was revealed earlier this year that the game is only 2 players co-op. This was kinda mumbled under the developer’s breath. I think that the appearance of it being a 4 player game was done on purpose. First of all, the game features 4 characters. In this day and age, why would we not think it could be 4 players. Eventually the devs stated that they couldn’t do a 4 player co-op because it would be too complicated. Fine. I’ll try it out with just 1 friend. I figured I could at least have the experience of an Arkham Asylum with 1 buddy right. Well that turned out to be one of the worst experiences I’ve had in gaming in years. 

This game controls like you’re trying to roll a big giant square around a room and none of the buttons or your actions seem to match up with what you would think should be happening on screen. I’m talking about getting so frustrated that I would just close the app because I was so frustrated that I couldn’t even get over a few street thugs. I’d run up to a police car, expecting to vault over and Red Hood would just dead stop with 0 animation. The cops begin to engage me, I can’t move. I have to walk the character backwards and turn him to get around the car. I don’t get it, I run up to the car and no button presses do anything. I’m raging at this moment. I’m already at the end of my attempts at playing this game and I feel like the controls are just not working for me. The dead stop kills me. I can’t push around the vehicle, the vaulting is automatic, the jump button doesn’t work, I can’t roll backwards. Jesus, my frustration grows just writing about it now.

9 hours of “Halo” live action.

Important moments in the series will be discussed. This is your last warning. Spoiler Alert!

Quiet and one hell of a suck machine.

A few months back we were asked to do a review for an air purifier from Dreo. We live in the desert, in Las Vegas. It’s been windy AF these past few months too. And I mean WINDY AF. You could look outside and see the dust in the air. You would not be able to see the mountains that I could typically see from my backyard for some days because of so much dust. There was even a warning that came across my phone one day telling me to stay indoors. It's just too windy and the visisibly was down bad. 

Generally, whether I kept the windows closed or opened in my home, it didn’t matter, dust was everywhere. It piled up and it’s some of the worst I’ve seen in my entire life. I was dusting my consoles and nearby Lego sets weekly with air cannons, cloths, and tiny little vacuums. We put the Dreo in the game room, and a month later, there is 0 dust build up around our consoles and Lego displays. Honestly it’s hard for me to believe if I wasn’t seeing it myself.
