AHAHAHAHAHAHA! RIP AND TEAR! *Chainsaw revs* I'LL MAKE YOUR INNARDS OUTTARDS! *Imp is ripped right in half* *cough* Oh, sorry, didn't see you there. *ahem* Hey guys, Alex here. So, DOOM 4/DOOM (2016). Remember the old DOOMs? If you do, this game is gonna be quite the treat. Don't remember the old DOOMs? Don't worry, me neither! I didn't play them. They released before my time, so this is basically from a newcomer's perspective on this game. If the previous games were anything like this game, then I've been missing out! There's going to be a minor difference between my video game reviews and my MLP reviews; the scoring system will be /100 ins

Hey guys, Alex here. I didn't forget about all those series I planned, I've just had a lot on my plate. But anyway, welcome to my first MLP review! I'm going to review exclusively Friendship is Magic episodes because...*shudder* Thinking about the others gives me chills. Anyway, we're starting with Season 1, Episode 25: Party of One, which is one of my top 5 favorites from Season 1. It's a really good episode with a strong message and quick humor. But let's break it down further. I'll have multiple categories going over the different aspects of the episode. Each category will have its own score and there will an overall score. Keep in mind th

E4: "Past Memories" Last we saw, our heroes ended up in the Lost Tower preparing for a Double Battle against the Sage Twins and their Pokemon, a Mismagius and Honchkrow. Anubis fishes his PokeDex from his pocket to check on Neith's usable Moves. Draining Kiss, Shadow Orb, Healing Pulse, Light Screen and Reflect appears to be her set. "I can make this work," he tells himself with a smile. "Let's go and win this one!" "If you don't mind it, we will have the first move", one of the Sages interrupts, "Mismagius, Mystical Fire". Needing to hear nothing more, Mismagius sends out a flickering runic fire attack towards Alex. "Not so fast," Anubis

Hey guys, Alex here, and welcome to the first installment in one of the series I promised I would make; Competitive Opinions. Basically, I'll analyze a Pokemon and its usefulness in the competitive scene. Keep in mind that these are my opinions based on my experiences. Umbreon, The Moonlight Pokemon SMOGON Tiering: UU (Under-Used) Type: Dark Ability: Synchronize Hidden Ability: Inner Focus Let's start by analyzing its Abilities and typing. Synchronize mirrors an inflicted status back to its opponent, so long as the status is Poisoned, Burned, Paralyzed, or Badly Poisoned. This is going to be your go-to Ability on an Umbreon, since it allow

E3: "Back On The Road!" It's early in the morning at the Hearthome Pokemon Center. Last we saw, Alex had sustained some nasty injuries in a battle against Pearl and her Prinplup. Anubis is quietly snoozing in a waiting room chair after staying overnight with his Pokemon. Nurse Joy comes with a clipboard and coffee in hand, and disturbs him from his slumber. "Wha...? Oh, hello, Nurse." He says groggily, still waking up. "How's Alex holding up?" Joy returns a warm smile. "That's what I came to tell you. He's made a full recovery and cleared for release." She steps aside to reveal Alex, who is practically glowing with health. "Anubis!" Alex

Last we saw our duo, they were wandering the Gardevoir Show's adoption looking for new additions to their team. When they attempted to adopt a Shiny Gardevoir, Wanda, another Trainer named Pearl challenged them for ownership. "This'll be a cakewalk! Prinplup, easy win on the horizon!" Pearl shouts as she throws the PokeBall with great force. A large blue penguin-like Pokemon bursts out. True to her word, the Pokemon that emerges is a Prinplup. Alex and Anubis both take hard gulps as they realize the difficult battle presented before them. "No turning back now," Alex mutters under his breath. "We can still make something happen," Anubis mum

E1: "The Gardevoir Show" A bright day sweeps across the Sinnoh Region as a relatively young Trainer at 21 years, Anubis, is traveling with his Pokemon in Hearthome City. At his side is his friend and loyal companion, Alex, an extremely rare male Braixen with deep purple fur, a body shape closer to that of a Delphox with its robes, and soft purple-fade-blue "ear-fluff" and tail colors. A tightly-knotted White Scarf hangs from its neck. "Ugh...When are we gonna get some food?" Alex grumbles to Anubis. It's been at least 2 weeks since Anubis set out on this journey and it never ceases to amaze him that Alex can speak perfect English to him. "
