Dude's Chronicles 8-2-2018: Where Are Sun?

No Caption Provided

Guess what it's still doing? That's right, it's raining! But don't work, the weekend will be nice since I'm on-call and can't enjoy it.

Entertainment

  • Death Wish(2018) - I went into this not expecting much and I think it delivered on my expectations. Having seen the original and generally not liking remakes that is a good rating for me. The hardest part of the movie was to accept Bruce Willis as a doctor. He's a great actor but a doctor is just not what comes to mind when I think of him.
  • Super Troopers 2 - Much like Anchorman 2, this was a sequel that I thought never should have been done... until I watched it. It was essentially a redo of the first one but it was still highly funny and entertaining.
  • Enemy - If I could give Jake Gyllenhaal any life and/or career advise it would be to make some more main stream movies and move away from these dark, moody, bizarre experience films. I just feel like he may not be in a good place personally and professionally if he continues to make these movies. This film was well produced but just came off as baffling in an uncomfortable way.
  • Supergirl - I really enjoy this somewhat campy show for reasons I can't explain. Odd how I unexpectedly miss Calista Flockhart though.
  • Seth Rogen's Hilarity for Charity - Funny guy and good to see him using it for charity. Some of the guest comedians weren't so great but you can't go against them too much if they are helping support a charity.
  • Shameless - I was immensely excited to see that Netflix had the eight season of the show. The excitement died down once I started watching. There is the sense that it is trying too hard to do the things that made it unique. I'll definitely finish watching it but I hope it gets better but I'm not saying it's bad.

Games

  • XCOM 2 - It's over, I've completed the last mission of my second play through. The Chosen DLC adds a lot to the game but I'm disappointed that I never got to defeat the third Chosen. He kept attacking me during missions, including the finale, but the mission to finally defeat him never popped. I'm not sure if that is a glitch or I just didn't hit the steps to get the mission.

News

  • EA Origin Access Premier - I subscribe to EA Access on Xbox One and I wish they would add this to Xbox. Even with that I am tempted to get it on PC. The only thing I question is that it is supposed to grant access to EA's new games but the article I read stated that it will offer a 10% discount on digital purchases. Will this discount apply to in-game purchases? Will it apply to the non-EA games available in Origin?
  • Nintendo Switch sales - The system has sold 19.67 million units, which is about 6 million more than the Wii U. That is impressive since that Switch hasn't been out that long.

Closing Arguments

Have a good Friday and enjoy the weekend!
