(RFGV Report 002) Star Wars Episode 9 and the Disney Experiment, One Year Later

 I did not like Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. I had my reservations going into the theater around this time last year, true, but the fact is Star Wars Episode 9 just is not a good film. I'm fairly certain I'll get flak for that let's be real, but I don't care; Star Wars fans are just as toxic as Super Smash Brothers Melee fans. I think this editorial should be prefaced by the statement that I am not a Star Wars fan. I appreciate the series and what it has done for Sci-Fi, I did like the original trilogy, and of course Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast is one of my favorite FPS games of all time; while Star Wars Trilogy Arcade is a game I aughta revisit when arcades open back up. the fact is that there's something about Star Wars to like and nothing I say or do with challenge that status, especially given The Mandalorian. however to understand Star Wars Episode 9, and why I feel Star Wars as a film franchise desperately needs a reboot, we have to go back a f...

(RFGV Report 001) Three Blue Streaks

My first video game that I have ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog. I was a little over twelve or so months old; having held a Sega Genesis controller and never looking back. I've grown up alongside Sonic, and his series and I have had a long lasting friendship.

Radiant Falcon Game Vision: Report 000 (Background and Mission Statement)

My name is Aria S., alias: Radiant Falcon. I have been on the internet for as long as I can remember and playing video games even longer. I have over 26 years of experience playing games and frankly there's a lot I wish to share. the mission statement of this blog isn't simply to give out a score to games that, frankly, do not deserve 10s out of 10s (looking at you Last of Us 2). nor is the goal to scorn games that have had no chance to even be considered a good game. Hell I'm not even sure if you can classify this as a review blog in the first place, because what I really like doing are editorials, compare and contrasting games, and countdown lists. 573-CX4-97A Iris Northe character design by RFGV art by CoffeeBandit But of course, I happen to have a partner in this mission, the Alia to my X. the Ciel to my Zero. to the right is the replica droid Iris Northe. she will be appearing throughout these pages, in an effort to provide her own commentary.
