Covering different forms of media one at a time
Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) are famous for timeless designs, jaw-dropping abilities, and memorable storylines. Coincidentally, JRPGs also have an infamous reputation due to their substantial length. This juggernaut of a genre packs content and side quests for players to immerse themselves. While old JRPGs certainly made the virtual grind adventurous, modern games have opt for a friendlier tone.

Long gone are the singular, “Talk to …” mission or “Move to this area” objective. You are finally tasked with continuing the story or delving into the notorious side mission. An excursion that will either heighten your enjoyment or bore you with busy work. While other elements can spell for success or failure, the allure of a side mission is paramount.

December 2020 is the month of long-awaited releases from finals seasons to new intellectual properties. This post is mostly dedicated to Soul, Attack on Titan and Cyberpunk 2077. December ushers in a month of content that I am definitely enthusiastic to talk about.
Continue readingWhen presented with two options, humans will always argue over which is better. Apple vs PC, Coca Cola vs Pepsi, white meat vs dark meat, etc. Regarding the entertainment medium, Sub vs Dub to established anime fans is considered life or death. It is the basis for whether you truly experience the content to its fullest or as a fleeting joke never to be revisited. To me, matter of preference has no effect on my viewership. Whether it be subbed or dubbed, whichever enhances my enjoyment will be the winner.

Hello and welcome to the first post for my blog, QB the Great. As far as what to expect from my posts are a combination of thoughts and reviews on video games, movies, anime, books as well as the occasional philosophical thought. The general aim is to be contemporary based with the content I post, however, I will occasionally talk about media of old for that niche, nostalgic mood. Other posts will be dedicated to fictional short stories that I plan to write to satisfy my old fanfiction itch.
The long-term goal is to update either weekly or bi-weekly at the very least. Also, reviews for the most part will not be critic orientated. My aspiration is to write what excited me or what could have been more stimulating if the content fell short. The reasoning for that is the partaking in criticism is easy but appreciating the silver lining is harder to practice. Not to mention that there is a plethora of content makers that produce videos/blogs of criticizing fictional media by the day. Taking that into consideration, providing feedback on this blog is always welcomed. I can only get better with the help of others.
Taking all that into account, I greatly appreciate you for taking the time to check out my blog. I will be writing for future readers in mind, but I will always blog about what I want to cover. My overall purpose is to produce written content that I enjoy and hopeful strike a figurative chord with my potential readers. Join me in my journey and let us dive into the mediums that make us happy.
