A New Hope(fully Good Movie) - Star Wars: The Force Awakens Spoiler Free Ryview
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, by Lucasfilm Ltd.
This is the spoiler-free version of my ryview. It will contain minimal information about the plot and so forth to keep your virgin ears and eyes (and other other part of your part that you choose to keep chaster) free from being spoiled. That being said, some info is required if I'm reviewing the movie, so bear that in mind. Just saying...

Reactor Idle - Flash Ryview
Reactor Idle, by Baldurans.
Ah, the return of the written ryview.
It's been awhile since I did a normal written ryview of a flash game. My video to article percentage is very skewed, and especially since I'm about to go out of town, I decided to kick off the vacation with the first of what will hopefully be more than one written ryview!
So, I'm doing Reactor Idle.
Depending on your personality, this is either a super confusing image or a super sexy image [1]

Where Have I Been?
I've been sick.
But seriously, I had a thanksgiving holiday, over which I got extremely ill (including a sore enough throat that I wanted to avoid talking).
So, now I'm finally on the mend, and my blog activities will resume.
Prepare yourselves for a flurry of content in the next few days.
You know you want to.
Until next time,

Clicker Heroes - iOS Ryview
Clicker Heroes, by R2 Games.
Clicker Heroes is an idle game that has flash and app versions (that I'm aware of), and I've played a bit of both. However, this is a ryview of the iOS version, because I've spent a lot more time playing that one.
Let's start with the title; I'm not clicking anything on the iOS version. I'm tapping. Shouldn't the phone and/or tablet port be called "Tapper Heroes"?

Gemcraft Chapter 2: Field X05 Walkthrough
Hi Everybody!
As I describe in the video, it's been awhile since I last played Gemcraft. But I figured it was high time (and low time, leave no time behind) that I went back to it.
So, here's my walkthrough of the last plot level, Field X05.
Please excuse my frequent use of the word "Dude".

Gotham - "The Last Laugh" Discussion (Full of Spoilers...Seriously)
Gotham recently started its second season, and I just watched episode 3, titled "The Last Laugh" (I'm a week behind on Hulu, so shoot me...)
I have opinions about it.
Spoilers ahead.
Like, serious spoilers.
Although, the internet probably already spoiled some or all of it.
But still.

Hands On With The Star Wars: Battlefront Beta
Star Wars: Battlefront Beta, by DICE.
I've had the pleasure of playing the Star Wars: Battlefront Beta over the course of the past few days, and I must say, it's pretty damn cool. However, there are definitely a more than a few issues that may prevent me from logging the stupidly large amount of hours that I devoted to Battlefront 2.

I'm rather busy with work right now, so my posts will be a little scant for the next 2 weeks.

A Subscription Based Game Masquerading As DLC - Destiny: The Taken King
Destiny: The Taken King, by Bungie.
For those of you who aren't aware, the fairly popular life-absorber Destiny recently released a new piece of DLC called "The Taken King." It was offered for $40 if you already own all the previous content (which would have cost you the base game price plus at least $35 for both DLCs), or $60 for everything included. Pretty sweet deal to jump in.
And if you were doing that, then it would be a great, very long game with a whole lot of content. However, if you're someone who, back in the day, bought the Dark Below DLC so you could play the extra stuff and enjoy the Knights of Crota, you're screwed. Or, similarly, if you purchased The House of Wolves DLC and wanted to actually fight wolves while patrolling, you're out of luck.

The Blog is down...
Hi Everybody!
If you're able to read this, then I fixed the blog's problems. As of this writing, I'm dealing with a sudden destruction of my website (in the form of domain names and such not pointing where they should).
I still don't know the cause, but I will endeavor to find out so this kind of thing doesn't happen in the future.
Thank you for your patience.
Until next time,
Ryan

Ryviews in China!
Hi Everybody!
I'm in China!
I was planning on playing some flash games and doing some written ryviews for you while I'm here, but it turns out China has some pretty serious internet restrictions (like, for example, I can't access blogger from my hotel, but I can from this other semi-random wifi spot).
As a result, I will try to keep up with something, but I may be pretty scant for the next 2 weeks.
I'll make sure to bring plenty of content with me when I return in late mid-September.
Until then, feel free to read/watch some old stuff (several times).
Until next time,
Ryan

Steven Universe: Attack The Light Ryview
Steven Universe: Attack The Light, by Cartoon Network.
For the uninitiated, Steven Universe is a quirky show about a chubby little boy who lives with 3 aliens while helping them fight other aliens and having comical misadventures. It sounds like a really weird show, and it is, but it definitely works. I love it, and I've watched every episode several times (not addicted, but pleasantly compelled).
The game, Attack The Light, is a turn based RPG companion to the series, where you play as the aliens he lives with (the "Crystal Gems"). It costs $0.99, and it's worth every penny.

A Return to Form - Ryviews Ryport
Hi Everybody!
Back when I started this website (which was over a year ago now, and that still gives me a strange feeling), I had a very simple mantra: I would review cheap and/or free games, such as flash games, to see if they were worth your precious time. It was a noble goal, both motivated by the fact that there didn't seem to be many people reviewing games like that, or for that purpose, and I couldn't afford to review the big titles because I couldn't buy them all myself.
Since then, I've honed my methods and I've developed more advanced methods of video capture, so I'm able to show off the big ticket console games I play. That means I've been posted RyPlays, Full Playthroughs, and I've even started streaming on Twitch!

Not As Bad As They Say - Fantastic Four Ryview (Spoiler Free!)
Fantastic Four, by 20th Century Fox.
By now, you've probably heard about how absolutely atrocious this movie is (it has a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of this writing).
Reviewers have complained about plot, acting, editing, comic book movie self hate, and a whole lot of other things that generally contribute to a movie.
I'm here to tell you that it's not quite as bad as people say. If I was going to slap a ryviews label on it, I'd probably give it a slightly above passing grade.

DC Deckbuilding: Forever Evil - Supervillain Statistics
Hi Everybody!
If you aren't acquainted with DC Deckbuilding, please read my ryview of the base game here, and read my ryview of the expansion, Forever Evil, here.
Now that you've read up on how the game works, let's get down to the statistics for the expansion.
I had previously believe that the game was quite unbalanced. Some supervillains seem much stronger than others based on anecdotal evidence, and I wanted to prove that theory.

SDCC - My Thoughts
Hi Everybody!
The San Diego Comic-Con is now behind us, but that doesn't mean that we've forgotten about it already.
Sure, sure, most of the news is about movies, not video games, so it's not really relevant to the site, and of course, most of the news also didn't really cover comics so much as "comic related properties" so even the name "Comic-Con" is a little far fetched.
At any rate, here's what I'm excited about:
