There's a reason why Shovel Knight is widely regarded as the best game of 2014, and here's why.
But first, since I'm madami of a buzzkill than the bees in Donkey Kong Country, a little backstory.
Shovel Knight started out as a project on the popular website Kickstarter, which kickstarts new ideas and is commonly used to make and invent new things. Then came....
*Insert cliche as hell hallelujah music*
This game, Shovel Knight.
Now since this isn't a review, I'm just going to give what I think of it, that way this doesn't turn into one of those god-forsaken 1,000 word essays you had to do in a week when you were in elementary school.
Shovel Knight in a nutshell is an NES based platformer that is easily one of the best I've ever seen.
The gameplay is as sharp as a blacksmithed needle, the music is as catchy that goddamn catchphrase YOLO, and the graphics look as beautiful as my girlfriend Cynthia, because even though the game's only 8-bit, it still looks absolutely wonderful.
Seriously, there's no way in hell that this game could've been on an actual NES. The system wasn't capable of auto-scrolling, 46 amazing songs that I could listen to all millennium, or a story mode as long as Shovel Knight's.
The story is that Shovel Knight and his extravagant buddy Shield Knight used to roam the lands, living young, wild, and free, (Don't lie, you don't get the reference.) When all of a sudden she disappears right the fuck out of nowhere and you've got to save her!
But to get to where she presumably is at the tower of fate, you must first beat up a giant intimidating group of baddies called "The Order Of No Quarter!"
YOU CAN'T HAVE MY QUARTERS ROBOT MASTER STEREOTYPES! >.<
Seriously though, the bosses each have awesome designs with funny personalities and I pag-ibig each and every one of them.
Then there's the leader of the group, named the Enchantress. She's the annoying asno Blinky of the group, and easily the most powerful of the Order Of No Quarter.
Using a character that looks exactly like Boba Fett from bituin Wars and Vile from Megaman X, you must use the shovel heard round the world to stop the baddies and save your girlfriend!
Seriously, the shovel in this game is so powerful it can break steel in two hits.
I WANT THAT SHOVEL.
The entire game is easy to learn, but so damn hard to master you'd have an easier time learning to twirl a conductor's baton on apoy in a pool full of sharks.
Although each death is quite fair, as no time playing the game did I ever find me actually mad, and I never died because I thought the game was unfair either, so don't get the wrong idea or I'll swat you with a ski pole.
Every now and then you'll find a rare special item that you can use at any time as long as you have enough magic, including a apoy rod, a giant exploding anchor, and a pair of gloves that can somehow control the boundaries of space, time, and gravity and manuntok through dust blocks in the air while flying until there's no madami dirt bricks left to punch.
I WANT THOSE GLOVES.
In conclusion, this is a very fun game that's easily worth your money. And seeing as how there's SO much awesome DLC coming out soon you'd have an easier time counting the amount of mosquitos there are in a swarm of absolutely terrifying blood-drinking creatures, I think you'll absolutely pag-ibig this game.
You probably won't pag-ibig the swarm of mosquitos though, dear god.
FINAL SCORE: 9.5! This is one of the best games I've seen in decades.

I'm back again! I'm reviewing Godzilla 2014!
Plot: Godzilla must defeat the evil MUTO, with the help of scientists and soldiers.
This movie...is one of the most pelikula of 2014! The effects were beautiful, the fights were amazing, and everything was just awesome!
Score: 5/5
Music: The score was amazing...the Shakuhachi made the atmosphere feel great!
Score: 5/5
Characters(Heroes): While I will admit that Godzilla doesn't appear til' about 45 minutos in. And the human characters are alright. Ken Watanabe plays probably the most awesome scientist ever!
Score: 4/5
Characters(Villains): The MUTOs are both amazing! Its a great display of Sexual Dimorpisim (The Male MUTO can fly, and the Female MUTO has eight legs).
Score: 4/5
Final Thoughts: If you want to start watching Godzilla movies, put this on the list!
Final Score: 18/20
Would I recommend it? YES

Hi I'm back! And today I shall be reviewing Maleficent!
Plot: The evil Maleficent returns in this modern re-telling of Sleeping Beauty!
This movie should not have been called a "Re-Telling", it's completely different! Why did they make Maleficent the hero?! And the ending made no sense!
Score: 2/5
Music: Now I'll admit it, I thought the music was so-so. I liked "Once Upon a Dream" was pretty good.
Score: 3/5
Characters(Heroes): I thought that Elle Fanning was adorable as Aurora. And Brenton Thwaites was a pretty good Prince Phillip. The 3 Fairy Godparents were annoying.
Score: 3/5
Characters(Villains): I thought it was an odd choice picking Angelina Jolie to play Maleficent. The odd thing was I never felt sorry for her. She curses an infant for Godzilla's sake!
Score: 1/5
Final Thoughts: If you are into villains being shown as heroes, this movie is for you. For anyone else, no.
Final Score: 9/20
Would I recommend it? NO

Rant 2: Geewuners!
I'm baaack!
Here's something that annoys me: Geewuners!
If you're new to the concept, Geewuners are people who are fans of trasnpormer G1 and think that everything is crap! Not all G1 fans are Geewuners, as I like G1 myself. But the difference between me and Geewuners is that I like Armada, Beast Wars, Beast Wars 2, Beast Wars Neo, Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, Cybertron, Energon, Bayformers, Prime, and Go!
I know that they want to keep their "Nostalgia", but come on, it's not just for you. Just ask the millions of people who watch and buy Micheal Bay's Transformers.
On a different note, people should open their minds to the trasnpormer 4 Dinobots. I know they're not G1 Dinobots, but their not supposed to be!
I just think that Geewuners should open their minds to other series.
I'm baaack!

Again Disney has wrapped its magical fairy hands around this tale making it two movies, when in reality this tale is quite short.
There is a young girl, who is working out in the fields. Her sandalyas falls off and a eagle (or hawk) then picks up the shoe. She chases after it leaving her family just for the shoe, which the bird drops on the kings lap. The king orders her beheaded but sees her beauty and declares her his wife, also ending in forced child birth of several sons.
(Have yet to find how she dies.)
