Thoughts about TV Shows and Movies

  I do love the side quests in Pokémon legends Z-A .  I just wish the non-player characters stop nagging me especially with first mega battle to catch up with Zygarde for example. I do love the freedom to roam and not get nagged as much in Pokemon Violet (DLC).   I love the idea of my own adventure, my own "treasure", and even my own kitchen in student dorm. In real life, my dad doesn't allow me to cook using stove for fear I set fire to place.  well I haven't had to call 911 for arson and I'm 33 years old.  I get more freedom in the game than in real life I

Since my ninetendo switch lagged while playing Assassin's Creed, I contacted Amazon, got a refund, and returned the game catridge to Amazon.   I got to the first mega battle in Pokemon Legends Z-A  with Absol and Lucario which I can't seem to get past.  This is to anyone, who is a video game fan who got through that battle, wants to hang out in Chesapeake, VA at Starbucks or anywhere and help me get past that section.  Please and thank you. I paid for Pokemon Violet plus the DLC / area zero stuff that has Totodile since my nails has matching color of my favorite starter, Totodile which arrived.  I'm eager to play it and want to use Fuecoco since he was so funny in Pokemon Horizons on netflix.   Two long-term goals: 1) attend a fan convention like San Diego Comic Con and get my two game catridges  autographed from someone  affiliated with Pokemon 2) get into a MFA creative writing program

Assassin's Creed is sluggish like molasses on my switch.  I got peanut gallery from NPCS telling me to speed it up.   I got through 14 hours of gameplay for Legends ZA with Croconaw as my partner.  I am rank W and was told in dialogue I'm more like rank G / H.

I decided to do something different and went to Alamo Draft House.  I ordered a beer and chips and paid for a movie, Final Destination Bloodlines .  I give it 6 out of 10 on scary factor.   Some of the scary things weren't scary to me including the jump scares.   I probably seen too many explosions in Mythbusters so the explosion at the end didn't faze me.  Blood is more gross than horrifying.

Most people seemed surprised that Liam O'Connor played by Josh Hopkins was the terrorist at the end of Quantico season 1. Blind to bad behavior.  I wasn't terribly surprised because his character was a drunk (Miranda commented in the pilot episode if Lam fell asleep in a bar, and he got drunk in Guilty ). Natalie's dialog in Guilty  also convinced me when she tells Liam, "Sir, with respect, when the people you trust are all on one side, and you're the only one on other side.  What does that make you?"

Pokemon is kids franchise known for lawsuits and scalpers.  ninetendo (Pokemon video game maker) is suing Palworld (game been called Pokemon with guns).  Pokemon merchandise can get sold out on official store and expensive on third party websites (ebay, Amazon, etc).  I decided to get the sleeping plush from target because ebay had $1-$2 price difference for cheaper one (not worth it personally).
