Charlie Brown – The Modern Day @Nintendo Story #NX #Lunkhead

Packy - Head Llama

You Lunkhead, Nintendo! Nintendo, we gave you an opportunity to kick the football, and for once we weren’t going to yank the football away from you… and yet you still missed the kick and landed flat on your back. How is that even possible? How do you miss what should have been an easy field goal? Nobody was asking Nintendo for an E3 style touchdown replete with an end zone dance, just some sign that there was a solid plan for the 2016 fiscal year. We did not get the…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Clean Slate #amnesia @danacarvey

Packy - Head Llama

Clean Slate – the Official Nerfed Llamas Review Full Disclosure: I love Dana Carvey! Sincerely, I believe with all my heart that he was the single best talent that ever came from Saturday Night Live, with Bill Murray a very close second. He won an Emmy for his work at SNL performing and creating such amazing characters like the Church Lady, Hans, Garth, George Bush, and the Grumpy Old Man, to name a few. So nobody was more thrilled than myself, when Mr. Carvey started headlining films in the early 90’s. Opportunity…

Reboots Vs. Comeback Cast Sequels: the Ultimate Nostalgia Showdown! Each year, the Hollywood movie machine churns out hundreds of theatrical releases, and even more via digital distribution and streaming services. A common thread amongst a healthy sample of these movies are reboots of existing franchises. Whether it be big screen takes on older TV shows or complete reboots of existing films, it seems that we inevitably have to put up with a lot of poorly recycled content. Don’t believe me? Just this year the following reboots will hit the big…

Open Letter To @bioware @RayMuzyka @DoktorZee @legendary About the Mass Effect Movie

Packy - Head Llama

I have recently found myself making another run through the Mass Effect video game series by BioWare. This is not my first, second or third time through the initial trilogy of games, lovingly referred to as the Shepard Trilogy, in fact – I have lost count of the exact amount of times this makes, but I’ll ballpark it at around 10 times. Why do I keep coming back to this story? What is so compelling that I find myself drawn to yet another play through? The answer is simple: it…

Star Wars: The Force Awakens – the official Nerfed Llamas Review #StarWars

Packy - Head Llama

It was bound to happen. The unmovable object had to meet the unstoppable Force sooner or later (see what I did there?). And so here we are, the official Nerfed Llamas review for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Full Disclosure: I am not a fan of the Star Wars series presently. I grew up with the original trilogy and liked them enough at the time. As a kid I was pretty excited by the Star Wars movies and possessed books, toys, clothes and other memorabilia that had Star Wars plastered…

Dear friends, followers, and unfortunate souls that accidentally clicked a link to this blog by mistake but for some odd reason stuck around anyway- it is with a wink and a smile (and pride!) that I announce: this blog has existed for 1 whole year at this point. YAY!  It’s been a crazy 12 months filled with ups and downs, jokes and somber truths, web comics and original short stories, and a whole host of other stuff that didn’t quite catch on. It all started on April 2nd 2015 with the…
