Give me all the amazing stories of women, if you please.

++ E3 has been happening, and there's been plenty of trailers of upcoming video game releases, some that I'm pretty excited about. First is the brand new Shadow of the Tomb Raider trailer, since Lara Croft is my girl, obviously, and I'm anticipating what this game will bring. I'm also curious about Cyberpunk 2077, which I remember being announced a long time ago but didn't really hear much of anything since then. Anyway, I'm really into the cyberpunk aesthetics, it looks super dope. Next is Resident Evil 2 which is an updated remake of the classic 1998 game, and apparently it seems that many RE fans have been waiting years for. Much like with the recent Resident Evil 7: Biohazard release, this looks completely atmospheric and immersive. And of course, there's The Last Of Us: Part II gameplay reveal! I think many were waiting for this one the most, and this delivered with having almost twelve minutes of gameplay footage with a few minutes of a cinematic scene, beautifully contrasting each other and I'm just so hype for this game you guys, you don't even know. As a sidenote, I love how Naughty Dog is basically giving the middle finger to all the dudebros who complained about Ellie kissing a girl from the TLOU DLC by further confirming in this gameplay trailer that yep, Ellie is a lesbian, get used to it.

++ I watched Ocean's 8 in theaters and it was super fun. The Ocean's movies in general are just pure enjoyable entertainment of lighthearted heisting shenanigans, and this one is no exception. Without giving away any spoilers, I will say that the ladies were amazing to watch, naturally, but I also want to address that Richard Armitage was absolutely delightful in his role, which the part was a bit bigger than I had initially thought. While he doesn't have a whole lot of scenes, he does play a significant character in the story, and he was just so much fun to watch. Good job, boo! Overall, a very fun and entertaining film that I hope continues on with more movies.

(Also, sidenote, the trailer before the movie was for Widows, another movie with a fantastic cast of women + a surprise Colin Farrell, so y'know I was truly blessed in the theater that day.)

++ Wynonna Earp S3 trailer. I was wondering when we were gonna get anything about the third season, since it felt like forever since anything was announced. This was mostly just an intense montage of things that's a lot to unpack, though I'm just marveling over the fact that it looks very highly produced, just from presentation of the trailer alone. The show returns July 20th.

Although, where the fuck are the season DVDs for this show? Seriously, I've ranted about this before, but it's still bothering me that only ones I could find are international BluRays and the BluRay that is through the IDW IndieGoGo site which, well, seems rather shady considering that many have complained about the quality and lack of response from the people involved in producing them. I just want my freaking DVDs to support the show, that's all.

Out of all of E3 I was most excited for DMC5, but that TLOU II gameplay and the scene were just so good! My brother's pretty hyped you get to play as Ellie now. Also Tomb Raider! So many good game trailers came out of this weekend :D

WE not being out of DVD is so irritating. I've seen season 1 on Ebay but the prices are pretty high compared to say season 1 of Bitten, which I can get for less at an actual store. I hope they get the DVDs out soon I'd love to buy them!

The fact that you get to play Ellie primarily in the sequel is definitely the best part for most people, since it properly contrasts from the first game where you play mostly as Joel, and from the gameplay of what we've seen it looks super cool with the new stuff you're able to do as an older Ellie. I'm very excited about what the story is going to be too, just because the narrative is probably one of the best aspects of the game itself.

There's still so many game announcements happening, it's hard to keep track of them all! lol

I just don't understand the issue over the DVDs. It's not like it's an obscure show where they're afraid it won't make enough money or anything, so what's the deal? I'm someone who wants to buy DVDs of movies/shows to support them, and I want a physical copy to hold in my hands and say, "this is mine." WE became a huge hit on Syfy, so I honestly am so confused on why DVDs are not being sold in stores.
