The Wonder Of Digital Sales And Shopping (Digital Month Intro, Summer Of Gaming Part One)

 Whether it is the Nintendo Eshop, the PlayStation Store, or on Steam, in the world of digital games something always seems to be one sale. Sometimes you forgot that game even came out and now it's discounted, or you have been waiting to try it and now your budget lines up with it. Either way digital sales are wonderful, sometimes you and your friends can all pick up a game to play together, or a bunch of games you have wanted a while or so cheap, that it's getting three or four games for the base price of one game. Game stores try to keep up with digital sales by discounting the physical copies of games, even sometimes coinciding with the digital sales, or slightly discounting download cards. 

Epic Games Store sometimes offers coupons when you purchase one game to go to another, or how the Nintendo Eshop has gold points that can be put towards your next purchase. So from today, May 6 to June 6 I am covering digital games only for my Summer Of Gaming Series, I will have a bonus post here or there labeled as such but whether it is free, or paid for, triple A or indie it is time to get to clearing my digital library, reviews, lists, impressions, discussions, and more. With a bonus post and a fun idea here or there, but mostly keeping to this theme for this month. Welcome to my first ever series, lets clear our digital backlogs and get to some of those games we got on sale, while potentially getting a couple more. oops.

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
