PSA: Back from break, Schedule and Youtube

While I am still hunting for work, I am at kind of a point where I can go back to working on this, although truth be told I've been back for a while, more on that in a bit. So a quick PSA before getting back into the swing of things.

First: Schedule. This Wednesday WILL be the Fire Red/Leaf Green arc review. Then next week Shantae Half Genie Hero, followed by Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth. Not sure what's going to follow after that, but those are what's coming soon.

Second: Youtube content. A video that has been posted to the Mediaholics Youtube channel that has not appeared here is a podcast concerning the Nintendo Switch. I'm not going to post that to here, as I'm trying to bring more attention to the Youtube channel, which does lead into what I've been doing on my break. Myself, Marissa, and other people have been working on what we're calling the Mediaholics Playlist. Once a day, every week day, a new video will be going live on the channel which is about what we think of as the best video game music around. It can be from any console, any genre of games, any year, the only requirement is that they had to have been in a game. They're going to be released in a random order, so they could be anything. As you're reading this, the first video has gone live onto the channel. But it won't appear here until next week. So, if you want to see it now, and see each video a week in advance, then please subscribe to the channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIM5kMZw90Ml7zUFOuaLRgg

Fire Emblem Direct Impressions

"Why is this not a podcast?" Well, both Marissa and Marcus have next to know knowledge on Fire Emblem, and CJ on top of that is busy applying to do her Masters course for univercity. Do I have a working knowledge of Fire Emblem? No, but I know more then just playing Super Smash Brothers like Marissa, Marcus and CJ. That's why. These are also primerilly going to be just notes as I'm writing this as soon as the livestream finished.

Pokemon Sun and Moon Video Review: Alola!


Link to the video to view on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y63LWx6eyY

Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and now Alola. Sorry for the delay with this one, there were real life family issues that got in the way, and made arranging a recording session impossible. But it is now over, and we're both ready to hit the ground running this year, when possible.  Come sail with us as we travel to the Alola region to discuss Pokemon Sun and Moon.

PSA: Mediaholics Archive, and more videos this week

Probably one of the shortest posts on the site, just wanted to get a few things out of the way.

First: Pokemon Adventures Fire Red and Leaf Green are being delayed to next week. Reason being because...

Second: Wednesday, Sun and Moon review will be here. Still working on editing it, but its on the way.

Third: The Mediaholics Youtube channel just had a big burst of content. The content in question coming from the old channel, and is in a new playlist called Mediaholic Archives, link to it being here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0UmlA10uAY9aHiYFqXS2nG8mFwHhoxsu

Finally: The year summary this year is a video, which is uploading as I write this. It will go live sometime tomorrow, and has in it some plans me and Marissa have for the site and channel during the year.

Encase it wasn't clear, there is more content coming to the channel in the new year, so please do subscribe to the channel which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIM5kMZw90Ml7zUFOuaLRgg

Top 16 Best Bots of 2016: #TF16Of2016 (#TF16BestOf2016)

Kind of an old hashtag started in 2013 started by @Essex_Alpha  (if he's even still around, I'm honestly not sure), which was a hashtag where you talked about the best bots you got that year. They didn't need to be brand new this year, just ones you got. Well, I want to do my own one of these, but with a little twist. As you might be able to guess by the fact that the brackets in the title have another hashtag in them, while this one is covering the best, I am also working on a list of the sixteen worst. Because you can't have one without the other... well here you can but I'm on a small holiday, and I want to write! None of these are full reviews, it is still a Top X list, but if there are any you'd like to see a full review on, if one doesn't exist already, let me know and I'll get one up as soon as I can. So lets get too it, shall we?

A Charlie Brown Christmas: Time for a Blast to the Past

Behold, what now has the title of the oldest thing reviewed on this site. But for a confession, I... never saw it before now. I don't know why, I've heard time and time again that its a classic, yet, somehow I always missed it, to the point where I don't even know if its been aired here since it was first shown back in the 60's. So how well does it hold up now?

Opening Impressions: Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero

Did this literally just come out? Yes. Did I back it on Kickstarter? No. Why am I doing this now? Because I haven't had the time to do the impressions I promised last week, going to do a Christmas review on Sunday, and was playing this on my Vita on the train ride to and from work today, so I have it on the mind. Lets do this!

First Impressions: Transformers The Last Knight

"Now to see if Michael Bay wants his title back in The Last Knight." You know, when I wrote that, I was assuming, hoping I had until the Superbowl to find out, as every other Transformers trailer has come out during the Superbowl. So why break it up now? Well wishful thinking is that the review of Jem is what brought the trailer out so early. Realistically, its Rouge One, everyone fighting to have their trailers shown before the new Star Wars movie. Will you be seeing more First Impressions on here in the coming weeks as a result? Probably, seeing as I haven't done a solo one since... Ghostbusters 2016 are you F!@#*(! kidding me? Sorry for this taking longer then 24 hours, but if you've seen my reviews on the first four Bayformers movies, then you know why I've been procrastinating. No, I'm not going to hide it, I've been putting off writing this post because of the last movie, in fact I'm continuing to put off writing about the trailer in the post itself because of Age of Extinction.
Raise your hand if you think that tag line isn't going to go anywhere?

Pokemon Adventures; Ruby and Sapphire: I'm out of time and all I got is 80 days

Yes I did try going for the Madonna song reference, I couldn't think of anything better.

Let us travel forward in time once again, because thankfully we still can for now. At least this timeline isn't as confusing as the main game's timeline, which even that pails in comparison to something like the Zelda timeline. This is now one year after the events of Gold, Silver and Crystal, and we travel to the pokemon region I know and love, the Hoenn region.
