‘My Hero Academia’ Season 3, Episode 6: “Roaring Upheaval”

 This episode was a different take on the attack on the training camp  with some of Class 1-A being attacked by a classmate who cannot control  their quirk. All of the villains of the Vanguard Action Squad are shown,  and the viewer is able to see each creepy persona of the team. The  fighting once again looks beautiful, and the stakes appear to be at the  highest yet.

‘Infectonator 3: Apocalypse’ re-animates Flash gaming, but lacks humanity

'Infectonator 3: Apocalypse' is certainly a Flash game brought to Steam.  It keeps the simple fun gameplay of the original, but doesn’t have the  meat expected of a Steam release. The game costs $13, and adds nothing  to the experience to make it worth that price tag. The only thing that  might be considered an “addition” from the Flash originals is added  length, which serves to highlight how repetitive and shallow the  gameplay actually is. Add on barely passable presentation and  embarrassing jokes, and the game lacks the life of the original games.  If you want to experience the Flash originals again, just go and play  the originals.

Charlie Puth’s ‘Voicenotes’ ends on a high note

Charlie Puth has really upped his game this go around. His music feels  slightly different, although not entirely. Love and relationship issues  plague this album and hurt his originality. He never falters from his  familiar content and this is what makes his music unique and his own.  The album is a good listen and is worth the money overall.

“Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze” for Nintendo Switch is funky but not in a good way

Tropical Freeze for the Nintendo Switch is a hard game to recommend. As  far as platformers go, it’s very challenging and often frustrating.  Tropical Freeze was released at a full $60, and that’s enough to not  recommend this game, considering it’s a port with only one new mode.  Tropical Freeze has its moments, but in the end those moments aren’t  enough to justify the countless lives you’ll lose while playing through  this game. If you’re a hardcore platformer or Donkey Kong fan, you’ll  love this game. Otherwise, you can pass on Tropical Freeze for the  Nintendo Switch.

‘My Hero Academia’ Season 3, Episode 5: “Drive It Home, Iron Fist!!!”

This episode mainly focused on the action of a few fights with the  classmates given permission to go against the law and fight for their  lives, adding emotion to the suspense. The few highlighted fights showed  some interesting villains and their quirks, while showing how some  students struggle to fight against a real-threat. It’s not easy, and  this episode is sure to remind the viewer of that with each second. The  plot of the story arc progresses a lot in this episode, but the overall  storyline of the show is not impacted that much.

Nintendo Labo: Technical Marvel or Weird Gimmick?

 Overall, the Nintendo Labo is definitely a weird piece of technology  that has yet to find its exact place in the gaming audience. The game  shines brightest when people work together to create each toy.  Otherwise, it can feel pretty disappointing and lonely. Despite the  exhausting moments of the setup, there are unique and interesting ways  to create and play.

“Avengers Infinity War”: AKA ‘Thanos: The Movie’

This is movie is for everyone who has followed the MCU. However, it’s  possible to enjoy the film without seeing every single Marvel film. The  important movies to see are Thor: Ragnarok, Doctor Strange, Captain  America: Civil War, and Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2. While this may  seem like a massive cliffhanger, the story is actually complete from  Thanos’ perspective. Despite all of its flaws, the movie ultimately  succeeds and does the unthinkable; killing Spider-Man.

‘My Hero Academia’ Season 3, Episode 3: “Kota”

This episode is what makes My Hero Academia great. The minimal  flashbacks add to the drama, making the viewer feel for each and every  character. There are also some great scenes showcasing how powerful  quirks are getting while being pushed to the limit in the training camp.  This episode sets up for the drama and fight yet to come, and leaves  the viewer on the edge of their seat. It is a beautiful episode.
