This Week In Media: Music, Games, and More

May 24th, 2020: Fanboy Roundup #1 I want to make content. I want to have an excuse to write five-paragraph essays whenever I please, but recently, there hasn't been much to write about. I look at these new songs and rumors from various artists and I want to write about all of them individually, but I can't simply because there's not enough news to cover. At least not enough that I care about. So we find ourselves here; at a roundup of the little things that I care about. I know this will happen many times in the future, so here is an inconsistent series about things that I care about. One paragraph for every new thing. Today's general section; music. Topic #1: New Kota the Friend Album I have yet to decide on where I stand on doing a full review for this album. Until then, while this album is still very relevant, I wanted to make a sort-of first impressions talk about it. I first discovered Kota when I found "Colorado" on YouTube, and found hi...

Hayley Williams - Pedals Of Armor (Review) DISCLAIMER: I’m not an enormous fan of Hayley Williams. I’m saying this because in the future, I plan to make album reviews many paragraphs long and go really in-depth into. Also, I’m sorry this is a little late, but there wasn’t something that I wanted to review that came out on the 15th, so I’m doing this album that I’ve already listened to. Pedals Of Armor is an album. Not a bad album by any means, but simply an album. Putting its many good qualities aside, it was an album that had such a defined style and a formula for its songs that they began to feel repetitive. Not just the songs themselves, but the album as a whole. Though, thankfully, I can't call this album all bad because it gave us many weirder and more ambitious songs in the middle of these new style of pop songs. Some of these weirder songs felt a little forced because she probably new that at some point to certain fans, her other songs would get boring. ...

A Premiere Review Instead of a Movie Review for "Scoob!" 5/16/20 DISCLAIMER: This is not a review. Read further to find out why. Throughout the abundance of Instagram ads discussed in the last essay, it was clear to most that the "Scoob!" movie would be premiered live on the evening of its intended release date. This did not happen. I realized I was missing the premiere at around 7:45, (the movie starting at 7), and I freaked out. I foraged through the many different websites and links this movie sent me, and after a solid ten minutes of looking, I found it. It was a live video that had supposedly been going since 7pm, but all that was displaying was a picture of the characters. I was confused, and I was assuming that they had a decent amount of trouble getting the movie started. Though, I felt like an idiot after waiting there until 9pm when the livestream just ended. I was confused, but on the live stream website it took me to, it said that I coul...

Let's Talk About "Scoob! (2020)" 5/14/20 DISCLAIMER: This was written and published before the movie was released. The review will come either tomorrow night or the morning of the 16th after I get my hands on the actual movie. This essay is me discussing the trailer(s) and my hopes/expectations. Thoughts going into teaser trailer: I remember watching this teaser trailer for the first time when I saw it on the YouTube trending page back in November. After I watched it initially, I remember being pretty excited to see how Hollywood would inevitably screw up another original and beloved series with a dumb remake, or sequel, or whatever this is. Alas, after watching the trailer, I remember feeling excited, but in a good way, but I now forget how excited I was and for what. Since then, I've pretty much forgotten about the movie and the trailer itself. Though, due to the overwhelming abundance of Instagram ads for the world premier tomorrow evening (link ...

"Paper Mario: The Origami King": Thoughts Upon The Reveal Trailer 5/14/20 I’ve played Paper Mario games before, but I have yet to own one. The only Nintendo system I’ve owned before my Switch was my 3DS, and when I was still buying games for that, I just bought whatever box art looked coolest. Honestly, I’d never even heard of Sticker Star back then. Now, upon getting older and realizing a few things about the Paper Mario series, I’ve been getting more and more excited for a new game. Especially because of the March rumor about most of the old 3d mainstream Mario games coming to Switch, either in remasters, remakes, ports, or just HD upscaling.  Along with this initial rumor, though, came word of a new Paper Mario game.  This really spiked hype for this rumor, of course. Many people thought that there wouldn’t be a new Paper Mario game along with these new Mario remakes, so hype for this game kind of fell of the rails leading up to now. Though here we are, and hot dam...

Come one, come all: family, friends, and foes to RandomCrazyStudios' "This Week In Media": a blog we promise is not as cringeworthy as what you'd expect from a ranting child. Here, we'll be discussing an abundance of things that don't really matter as much as what news anchors would cover, for instance. These "things" include; - Games and music news - Movies and some more - An abundance of reviews - Whatever I have time for - Some language will be flexed - Though we'll never be a bore - And talks about my ex - Who's always such a... kind woman Thank you for reading, and to quote Paul and John: "We hope you will enjoy the show" (Sgt. Peppers).
