New Pokémon Snap: First Impressions

 (Image Source: Twinfinite.net)


I have no nostalgia of Pokémon snap. I may have rented it once or twice but I did not own a cartridge until very recently for my retro collection. The game seemed to have loads of charm and seemed super fun and relaxing. So I decided to give the new one a try even before trying the old. So lets see how I fare with New Pokémon Snap.

I love this game already, and I have seen the appeal. I now only have one question and that is " Why did I not try the original sooner?". This game is so fun and I am having such a great time with it. Move over Animal Crossing New Horizons, this game is super relaxing and fun as well for those who are looking for something new to chill with. In this game you take pictures of  many different Pokémon in many different environments, you have some tools to use and there are a few other modes and features but overall that's the gist of it. And this game is so fantastic, it is so fun and chill to just roll along and take pictures and enjoy the environments. 

The presentation in this game is fantastic, looks and sound wise this game is amazing. Each environment feels alive and each trip feels so immersive. This game looks great, plays great, sounds, great, and I can see myself pouring many hours into it. So far I have put about eight hours into this game but I will definitely be discussing this game more. I love just exploring the environment, taking fun pictures, and repeating the process with fun and goofy characters along the way. This game is beyond charming, with a great arcade feel for the gameplay. Taking photos, getting them rated, and trying again as you fill your photo album, even revisiting past areas leads to an arcade like approach that feels so relaxing and easy to pick up and play. If you want a fun game to chill out with, this one might be it, I already am loving it and can not wait to play, and talk about it more.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (Netflix)

 There are so many holiday films to watch, whether they be classics, or newer attempts to capture the joy of the season, whether in theaters, made for television, or for streaming nowadays. And with all these holiday films there are countless adaptations of the classic tale of "A Christmas Carol". Musicals, animations, live-action, and almost everything in between. Using popular characters in the roles, such as the Looney Tunes or the Muppets, from popular actors provides different take on the tale in different settings. When I first saw this version of the classic story, it was because it was all over TikTok at this time last year. For one song in particular, one very powerful song. So I decided to settle in and watch this new, animated, musical take on the classic story all the way through and see what the entire package holds for this version.  This version as mentioned is an animated musical telling of the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, the tightfisted miser, spreading

The Pokemon Concierge

 When this show was first announced, I was indifferent. And then it came out and I watched the four episodes they had at the time of this post in one sitting and fell in love with it. The hype around this show is very real, I was blown away by how much I loved this show. Only four episodes and I want more, so why do I love this show so much? Well, that's what this blog post is for. The narrative of this show is fun for all ages but definitely has relatable content for adults while also having fun lessons for all ages. I am not going into detail because I think even a synopsis of this show spoils too much and it is so wonderful. The morals are real and down to earth, the characters are likable and the conflicts are relatable. The writing is fun, wholesome, and very well down, and has a good mix of humor and heartwarming with some great ideas. When I went in I thought I would have a fun time, and I did but I had way more fun than expected.  The lead of this show will be relatable for

Tell Your Own Story, Do Your Own Thing: One Thing I Learned From Across The Spiderverse

 This will probably not be the last time I talk about the impact of this film, I keep learning from this incredible film. The visuals, humor, story, characters, and messages of the film are just so close to perfect for me. Let's hang on to that last word, messages. Some may feel that an animated film could never contain deeper meanings or ideas. Still, if they looked outside their opinion, they would see animation as what it truly is, a necessary part of cinema. Animation can go places and bring ideas live action never could, and vice versa, they are both important. When this movie was first released, I saw it on opening day, and I was that excited. I love and adore the first film and the sequel just as much, it did not disappoint. I wanted to revisit the second film, since we have had more time with the first movie, and dive into some of the story beats, so spoilers are ahead just as a fair warning.  Across The Spiderverse takes our hero Miles Morales a year and some change ahead
