Wizards Go?

Wizards Unite

I said I was going to release this review on Monday but due to travels I was delayed until now. Anyway here it goes.

I’ve finally found a new app worth my time. I mean that in the best way possible. I don’t enjoy paying for apps and I really hate adds so for the most part I’m at a loss when it comes to mobile games.

I’ve been playing Pokémon Go since its release and over time I’ve just gotten really bored with it. Not to mention there aren’t gyms or pokestops near where I live. I have to drive to go find them. It’s annoying.

I digress, Wizards Unite is actually what I would argue a better mobile game than Pokémon Go. Both apps were made by Niantic and share many similarities. Both are games you have to walk to your target area and both use the same mapping software. Both expand upon a geek subculture that is rich in story and most importantly both are a lot of fun.

The great thing about Wizards is the creators have learned from the mistakes of Pokémon Go. The app doesn’t crash and has held up pretty well since it launched, there is a ton of content already in it, and there is actually a story to it. I love how they finally brought something more than a mobile land fishing game.

So join me fellow Wizards!

The Wizarding World Returns

So we’re slightly late to the party but that final trailer for the next fantastic beasts movie was full on amazing. ⠀
We got some stuff confirmed to us (like the woman from the original photo being Nagini is official). In retrospect we should have pretty much all just assumed the fact that snakes in the Harry Potter cannon are solely associated with at least the slytherin house, if not are totally evil.
What was probably the best part of the trailer for me was the fact that Jude Law made my little Harry Potter heart pitter patter. It was so cool to see the traits and quotes of the wizard we looked up to in the series be portrayed in this film as well. He has really mastered the Dumbledore charm and mystery and it is clear that he did his homework. For no other reason than him and my lovely newt will I see this film.


I know for me at least it’s going to be one talked about for awhile.
