The new 8 Bit Heroes (Movie Review)

By Corey Floyd

I really enjoy watching documentaries and docufilms, and if you couple that with the old school nostalgia of 8 bit video games, you've placed me directly in heaven. The virtual pearly gates opened up for my team and I when Joe Granato sent us a link to his movie "The New 8bit Heroes," and asked us if we could review it for PAX SOUTH.
As fate would have it, mother nature covered Philadelphia in a mountain of snow (about three inches lol) so my team and I brought out the hot chocolate and snacks, bundled up with blankets, and had ourselves a movie day.
 

This movie was sent to us early, but we snagged a link so you beautiful people can enjoy it too. You can buy it ===>HERE<=== 
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK,  WAY BACK, BACK INTO TIME! 
The New 8 Bit Heroes is a story not driven by corporate greed, but childhood wonder and imagination. As children we have big fanciful dreams that we often abandon as adults. Thankfully this didn't happen to Joe. On a trip to his childhood home he found illustrations and game concepts that he made for NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) when he was nine. He contacted his childhoid friend and left a lucritive career to make this dream a reality. How fucking awesome is that? Image result for 8 bit gifs
This movie takes you on journey literally. This film will have you in Georgia at Dragoncon, then wisk you to Burbank California to the set of ABC's hit series "The Goldbergs" to chat with the creater Adam Goldberg himself! I was jazzed when they introduced one of my favorite creators on youtube, The Angry Video Game Nerd.

This film is an adventure disguised as a documentary. Your heroes want to go on a mission but first they must assemble a crew, find resources, and go against great obstacles. The amount of work and passion poured into this project will have you on an emotional rollercoaster. You despair at their setbacks and rejoice at
their victories.
We give it 5 stars and we can't wait to play.

A New Def Jam game maybe? Roster Ideas by Corey Floyd

over the past month or so DefJam has been throwing some hints that they might make another fighting game. About two console generations ago (ps2, Xbox, GC) there was a game from EA BIG called Def Jam Vendetta. It was a wrestling style game but with hip-hop artists. DMX would literally kick your ass. Redman & Method Man was the best (and still are) tag team ever. It was a hit !! The follow-up fight for NY was a great sequel with even more artists in fighting form. Then the third one was garbage, hot garbage simmering in garbage juice. It bombed hard. Now it looks like we might get another. Bosslogic even came up with a title. Today I'm gonna come up with who should be in it. Some old, some new, some more gals, and some new dudes. 1. Missy Elliot Missy Elliot has been in the game for a long time. Somehow despite all of her hits, she has never been given the title of queen of hip-hop. In the game, she could be the queen of mean. Give her a footing style that matc

Scissor Seven on Netflix Stream or Skip

STREAM OR SKIP?   Scissor Seven is a Chinese animated series that was streamed in 2018 with the name of Killer Seven. As soon as Netflix streamed this show at the start of 2020, it became a hit globally! With the increasing popularity of Anime, Netflix has created a whole Anime library for anime fans. Scissor Seven is the first Chinese anime being streamed on Netflix. It’s a serious debate on whether to call it an anime or not, but I won’t get into that discussion for now.   Why Should You Watch Scissor Seven? If I needed to coat only a single thing in the list of why you should be watching it that would be the COMEDY! It is hilarious! Seven might not be the best killer, but that Goofy-head is the best entertainer for sure! It is a hilarious satire on the whole hero business, as we can how Seven is nothing but a Professional Goof! Scissors is his ultimate weapon on which he uses his telekinetic abilities. Every Hero needs a sidekick, here our sidekick is an angry bird with
