Kamen Rider Geats #0: Prelude To The Invitation

Image
Alright. This show is in the Tokusatsu genre and if you want a more in depth look on me explaining the genre, you can read my blog on the first episode of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger . I know I shouldn't really do another Tokusatsu series since I haven't passed Kyuranger episodes yet, but this morning had me contemplating this one more than coming into work. Keep in mind, I barely slept since 1 AM to try my OBS Studio software. Well not really, my body is struggling to adapt to being worker. To check their own I guess. I have been watching Kamen Rider for quite a while and there is one show I've seen praised that I have been unwillingly to watch because of the concept. That show in particular is called Kamen Rider Geats. The best way I or even many people online can describe this show is that it's Fortnite. And you'll be quite surprised to know that I'm not fan of death games... at all. The first and only Death Game show I watched in full was Future Diary (or Mirai Ni...

The Trailblazer: Alexander Barclay #4 - Tiki Taka Style (FIFA 16 My Player Mode)

Image
It has been quite fun since I started this mini-series on Alexander Barclay from BFordLancer. Also shout to Jake Barford (BFordLancer), who liked my tweets on X/Twitter. It is most probably because I tag him in every one of the episodes so far. Sorry about that pal. So let's continue the ride with the American Legend, Alexander Barclay.  Episode 5: New Car + Derby Match The episode starts with Barclay back in England after the International Break. He is going to get his new car... Yeah, it's definitely a life story that we keep up with as we go along. The first game of the episode is Plymouth Argyle away at Molton Road. In the 20 minute, Barclay cuts passes two defenders to get in the box from a received pass. He shoots and scores a goal for Portsmouth. It's 1 - 0 to the visitors. Plymouth would have a lot of chances and kept up the pressure from when they conceded. There was a moment in the 76th minute where Portsmouth's attacking three including Barclay do their great...

The Trailblazer: Alexander Barclay #3 - Rocking The Red, White & Blue (FIFA 16 My Player Mode)

Image
The amount of the episodes from last time is crazy. The last episode about the Alexander Barclay My Player Mode was a really good way of integrating more episodes in one blog. Let's hope that this one will have more, but if it can't, then that is completely fine. Episode 4: National Team Call-Up The episode starts with Barclay heading to the airport. Before then, he had a league game with Portsmouth away from home against Crawley Town. In the 35th minute, Barclay went for a Bicycle Kick which got saved by Milinkovic-Sav. Skip ahead to the 53rd minute where Barclay does a brilliant through ball to teammate and smashes on the left side. It's 1 - 0 to the visitors. In the 78th minute, Barclay does a brilliant run from the edge to the outside of the box. Unfortunately, Barclay's run came to a complete halt as he seemed to have pulled a muscle. It was minor and he got substituted in the 87th minute. He wouldn't be selected in the next game as Portsmouth would beat Gillin...

DTC IX: Can Flight Mess Up The Flow Of The Rhythm?

Image
The 9th chapter of the Dynamic Thunder Connection series has now arrived. I have just done the Aya Sakura blog and included Kikyo Furusawa's match with her on the Pre-Show and you can see it here . Today's latest edition will specifically focus on Ema Maishima as she challenged Ranna Yagami for the Future Of Stardom Championship on the All Star Grand Queendom PPV. For those who hadn't kept up with the series so far, I'll explain this in a more brief sense. Ema Maishima survived the 5 other STARDOM rookies that being; Kikyo Furusawa, Akira Kurogane, Yuria Hime, Matoi Hamabe and Anne Kanaya to win the Rookie Of STARDOM tournament. The reward of that being that Maishima received a certificate which is a shot at the Future Of Stardom Title.  This will be a match breakdown in the most washed ways possible. It's been a while since I have done match breakdowns, so I hope you can bear with me. Anyway, it's time to roll with it. Match Breakdown Time Ema enters all the co...

The Trailblazer: Alexander Barclay #2 - Lasting Long (FIFA 16 My Career Mode - The American Legend)

Image
The last time, I talked about the first ever episode of the Alexander Barclay - My Player Mode from BFordLancer. It was the first episode of the beloved My Player franchise. So I decided to continue with this as much as I can. So let's continue with the aspiring American in the country of England. Episode 2: New Wardrobe The episode starts with Barclay walking to a clothing store to update his wardrobe. I like the detail of him going to a low level thrift store as suppose to something fancy. To be fair, the new outfit is basically a new golf shirt and shorts. He looks likes he is going to golf at a country club, so I don't get the change to be honest. It does lead to the first game of the episode as Portsmouth faces Leyton Orient. In the 13th minute, Barclay gets clobbered with by Mathieu Baudry. At he noticed the pattern with these games. In the 88th minute, Barclay got substituted and it started the first... story arc, I guess. The game ended 0 - 0. The arc focuses on stamina...

Aya Sakura: The Unsung Hero For The Spirit

Pro Wrestling has really brought many emotions in me over the past 16 years of watching it. There are many ways that wrestling made me have a good feeling like: Credit: STARDOM Being fascinated as a child seeing human beings do extraordinary things. The dynamic of heroes and villains that can be affective especially with grey areas. Getting older and expanding your horizons along with appreciating the shows when you were young.  Veterans who prove to be the best and keep up with every generations. Or Rookies who start off with nothing to becoming the best of their craft as you were there to see every part of their development. That is what makes pro wrestling a beautiful self expression to follow. And I don't think that changes anytime soon. However, there is another part of wrestling that speaks to this and that is Unsung Heroes. People who you didn't know you needed until you see them in action. This is something I would definitely associate with the topic of today's blog...

The Trailblazer: Alexander Barclay #1 - Portsmouth Blues (FIFA 16 My Career Mode - The American Legend)

Image
Yep. Another web series to do. This is from different sport as I will touch on football (soccer). I was really big football geek especially from 2016 - 2021 that I was a very big nerd. Playing video games was where it really took the cake as I have been spamming manager and player career mode like it was no one's business. YouTube was a completely different story since my viewing of these football videos really didn't pick up until 2020's COVID-19 Pandemic. In which I discovered a YouTuber that really amazed me with his ability to make himself unique to the rest. And that YouTuber is BFord. BFordLancer (or BFordLancer48) is an American Football YouTuber that is mostly known for his video gameplay content on football. He has a passion that for it much like other popular FIFA YouTubers in the current day. What makes him unique to the rest of the YouTubers I was watching is his FIFA My Player Mode videos. He does these series in a storyline and gameplay format to heighten tens...

Which Queen Rules The Kingdom? (Stardom All Star Grand Queendom)

Image
Credit: STARDOM Stardom All Star Grand Queendom is just two days away. This is Stardom's biggest show of the year and when the card was announced, people had loads of doubts. Especially with the main event, but we will get there. So for this blog, I will be giving my predictions for All Star Grand Queendom and it's pretty self-explanatory. Let's roll with it. [Pre Show - Match 1] Aya Sakura vs Kikyo Furusawa Singles Record: 1 - 0 Aya Sakura   Credit: STARDOM I swear. This company wants to have a broken heart regardless of who wins. And yes, that singles record tally does not deceive you. These two have faced each other before and it was last year in a singles match before a Korakuen Hall show. Obviously, a lot has changed since last year especially Maki Itoh got signed. So I have expecting a bare bones pre-show match. I am not picking anyone here since I don't want neither of them to lose. And it's my blog, I can do that. [Pre-Show - Match 2] Akira Kurogane & An...
