Update & Celebration

 Dear Readers,

I hope this finds you guys/gals well. Believe it or not, this is my 100th post! Hard to believe we've come this far since when I first started this whole thing. I wanted to thank all the readers for joining me on this ride, and I hope you'll stick with me as we steamroll our way to the next hundred posts! This blog has changed quite a bit since it first began, and I'm excited to say that there are more changes to look forward to. Since I'm a neat and tidy kind of guy, I've got the updates below.

  • This blog first started with the Dear America series and although I've slowed down with it, it's not going anywhere. I generally only write a post for that series if I have something particularly pressing on my mind, so I've taken it kind of easy on that as I don't want to inundate you guys with pointless posts.
  • I've got some big changes coming to my Quality Entertainment Reviews posts. I've been listening to the feedback you guys have been sending me so I have a couple additions I plan to make.
    • All of my QER posts show where you can find the particular medium I reviewed in the opening paragraph, but some people skip to other sections and kind of miss it. I get it, some people are focused on certain things and my reviews can get a tad bit long, so I've decided to make a separate section below the opening paragraph that highlights where the product can be found. To be clear: I won't be including this in my book reviews as that's kind of obvious where that can be found.
    • I'm not particularly fond of scoring things, however people have asked for some type of rating system. I'm planning to use an out-of-ten score to keep it simple. I'll probably post it directly above the recommendation section at the bottom.
    • At some point, I plan to add these updates to my previous reviews, however I've got a lot of them, so I'll get to it when I get to it. If there's one you're particularly interested in, I recommend re-visiting in about a week.
  • I'm really happy Tales from the Milkwood Lounge has been received so well. The few posts I have for it are the most viewed and I'm certainly planning to put more out in the near future. Obviously, these take time, so I appreciate your patience with them.
  • Lastly, there is a slight possibility that I may slow down in my posts for the month of March as I'm working on a new book! We'll see how it goes, but right now I'm having a good time with it and I've made a fairly decent amount of progress. This may dig into the rate that I post blog entries a smidgeon, but I appreciate your patience with that as things go.
Once again, thanks for reading! Please feel free to post/share any of my posts if you enjoy them. I take negative feedback too, so if there's something you're not liking please let me know! Have a great day and keep on being awesome!

Sincerely,
Calhoun

The Last of Us (PS4) - Video Game Review

Image
There are certainly plenty of games out there that I am a huge fan of, but there aren't many that I would consider true masterpieces. I certainly intend to always maintain a lack of bias, but The Last of Us remains one of the timeless few that I would put on that pedestal of truly fantastic games. In preparation for starting The Last of Us Part 2 , I went back to this gem. For clarity's sake, I have beaten The Last of Us numerous times on its original PS3 version, however this review will focus on the remastered PS4 version.  1 Where You Can Find It: This was originally a PS3 exclusive, however it has since been remastered for the PS4. General Information The Last of Us was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was originally released in 14 June 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and then it was re-released in a remastered version in 29 July 2014 for the PlayStation 4. It's a third-person action-adventure game with some survival-horror elements,...

Eyes in the Dark - Tales from the Milkwood Lounge

*Note: It's been almost nine months since I initially put up my original introduction for my Tales from the Milkwood Lounge series. I'm ashamed to say that I never delivered on the promise of delivering any short stories since. After some time, I actually pulled the post down as I decided to wait until I had something tangible to offer. Now, I do. I tried writing my third novel through much of 2019 and 2020, but as many things got in the way, I eventually scrapped it. Despite all of that, there's some fun to be had from that original piece of work. Here's an isolated piece from that failed project. I hope you enjoy it. Eyes in the Dark It was a late night in Raven’s Peak, and that was how Doug liked them. For a town of around five thousand, there wasn’t much crime to deal with on a usual basis, and with the massive snowfall as of late, Doug expected even less to do. Of course, that was until he got the call to check out an apparent disturbance on 133 Prentice Street at...

The Fanatic - Film Review

Image
It's been a while since I posted a review of a bad movie, so I thought I'd pull out all the stops for this one. It's a damn shame to see John Travolta's career implode in such a spectacular fashion as I've always been a fan of his (I really recommend The General's Daughter ). This just might be the final nail in Travolta's lengthy career.  1 Where You Can Find It:   We streamed this freak-show on Amazon Video where it is available for rent/purchase. General Information  The Fanatic is allegedly a psychological horror-thriller (that's what its Wikipedia page says at least) that was released on 30 August 2019 to a limited theatrical run, as well as video-on-demand. It was written and directed by Limp Bizkit lead vocal, Fred Durst, with Red Box Entertainment funding much of the film's production. As of 3 October 2020, the film holds an 18 Metascore on Metacritic and received an overall box office total of $3,153. It was nominated for three Golden Ras...
