Season 3 will pick up where the last season left off and will see Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy going back to the one place Jesse thought he would never set foot on again, Angelville.

Along with the announcement came a batch of new photos from Season 3, which you can view down below:
Based on the popular cult comic book, Preacher follows West Texas preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) as they embark on a road trip to find God and are thrust into a twisted battle spanning Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.
Preacher Season 3 will premiere on June 24th at 10 pm, only on AMC.

REVIEW: Jessica Jones Season 2 Episode 7
Alright, time for Episode 7. After the shocking revelation from the last episode, will this episode continue to maintain the momentum or will this crash and burn?
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSvnepZS26s[/embedyt]
Warning: Spoilers Ahead! Turn back now if you haven’t seen the episode!
It’s a flashback episode!!
We start the episode just after the crash that happened with the Jones family. We then cut to Alisa Jones (Janet McTeer), at IGH where she wakes up to see that she looks like the monster that Jessica was having a nightmare about before. Alisa starts to freak out and go on a rampage before she runs into a young Jessica Jones and Dr. Karl Malus (Callum Keith Rennie), injects Alisa with a drug to put her into a coma. We then cut to 5 years later (Not stuck on a hellish island mind you), when Alisa wakes up to find Dr. Karl and Dr. Leslie Hansen (Renata Hinrichs), in a new hospital room. Dr. Karl tells Alisa that she has had special treatment and underwent DNA editing to give her a new look and powers. Karl also tells her about what happened to her family and Jessica, Jessica is, of course, alright and has powers but everyone else has died. We then cut to a few years later to the college years when Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), is at a bar where they are premiering Trish Walker’s (Rachel Taylor), new music video, I Want Your Cray Cray.

Jessica is not that happy about the whole video and event and tries to talks to Trish about how she is acting and Trish ignores her because she wants to have fun. Jessica grows more upset at Trish as she goes to the bathroom for drugs and wants to party at her house when she should be studying. Jessica and Trish fight outside and Jessica rips open an ATM to prove a point. Meanwhile, Alisa is stuck at IGH when she goes to Karl and tries to get him to tell her about Jessica. Karl tells Alisa that the experiments they did were illegal and she was presumed dead so Jessica could be adopted. Alisa starts to freak out at the news and she has to be drugged by Karl so she can calm down. Meanwhile, Jessica is making out with Sterling (Mat Vairo), he is the bartender who quit his job from earlier. It seems the two of them are in a relationship now and we learn that Jessica stole her famous Leather Jacket from a store. It also seems that it has been a month since Jessica last saw Trish and Jessica have been living with Sterling. Jessica goes to the same club from before where Trish is hanging with her friends and Jessica introduces Sterling to Trish. Sterling tells Trish about his business idea and gives her his card. Jessica is not too happy about this and she pulls Sterling aside, Sterling tells Jessica that it’s only business and asking Trish for a brand deal isn’t a handout.
Meanwhile, Alisa is still at IGH and we see two nurses, one of them being Inez Green (Leah Gibson). Green tells the other nurse that Alisa has been given her meds and they can release her. Little do they know, it was a lie and Alisa springs from her bed and attacks both the nurses. She throws Green into a glass cabinet and snaps the neck of the other nurse. Alisa grabs the key and escapes leaving Green on the ground with glass shards in her body (Now we know how she got those scars). We then cut to Jessica and Sterling returning back to their place with takeout, there is then a knock on the door. A group of guys comes in and demands money from Sterling. The one guy put money down on Sterling’s Club Alias idea as an investment and hasn’t gotten anything yet. This leads to Jessica stuffing him with food and kicking the thugs down, they run away from Jessica out of fear. Meanwhile, Alisa is out on the street and she bumps into Dorothy (Rebecca De Mornay), Alisa asks about Jessica and where she is and Dorothy doesn’t know until she decides to make a call. Alisa is able to track down Jessica as she helps out a group of kids looking for water on a hot summer day. Jessica kicks a fire hydrant and walks to the Pheonix Bar while Alisa follows from a distance.
Jessica is in the bar drinking and waiting for Sterling to come and meet her. Alisa is watching her and decides to take a seat. Jessica goes to the bathroom and Alisa follows her in. Jessica asks Alisa for a tampon and Jessica says that she owes Alisa a drink. Alisa walks out from the bathroom to find Sterling swarmed with the same guys from earlier and they all go to the alley out back. Sterling is asked by the guy if he can hire Jessica as muscle so he can wipe away the debt that Sterling owes and he agrees to it. Alisa is enraged by this and grabs Sterling by the head and smashes it against the wall multiple times. Jessica then comes looking for him and finds him bloody in the alleyway with Alisa watching from up top. Later on, Jessica goes back to the club looking for Trish and finds her in the bathroom on her knees and about to give the manager oral sex. Jessica stops this and threatens the manager when he calls her a bitch and she slams his face into the mirror.
We then cut to Jessica and Trish on a rooftop talking about what happened to Sterling. Jessica tells Trish that she has been trying to call her about 24 hours with no answer because she was high on drugs. Trish finally comes clean to Jessica about her being an addict and that she needs rehab. Jessica wants Trish to forget about her tour and go stay with her mom so she can get clean. Trish doesn’t want to but Jessica tells her that she will die and be more alone without her. The two of them then decide to stay on the rooftop for awhile so they can process their situations. Meanwhile, Alisa goes back to IGH so she can talk to Dr. Karl about what she did and about Jessica. Dr. Karl comes clean about what he did to Alisa and is able to get her to come back with him to IGH.
Now back in the present, we see that Alisa is telling all of this to Jessica and in the end, asks for her forgiveness. Jessica tells her no and sucker punches Alisa and knocks her back and knocks off her wig. Dr. Karl then drugs Jessica and knocks her out.
Wow, where to start with this. I will start by saying that I love origin/flashback stories so once I realized that it was a flashback episode, I got really excited. This episode was really good and it really does help shape Jessica and Trish’s relationship with each other and shows that not everything was right in the Walker family.
I really like how Jessica was able to show that she was able to live without Trish in her life and her money. It shows that Jessica can be dependent and shows that she tried to do it once on her own but it was her mother that threw a wrench in her plans when she killed her BF.
I would also like to point out how Sterling seemed to play a huge part in her backstory here. From the Leather Jacket that Jessica wears to the name of her company. Sterling may not have lived to see what Jessica did but it’s nice to see her honouring him by naming her company Alias and still wearing that Jacket that she stole from the store with Sterling.
Alisa in this episode was also very interesting and compelling. She just wanted to know what happened to her family and Jessica and when she finally got that, her anger got the best of her. She realized that she wasn’t ready for the truth and couldn’t handle the situation at hand so she felt that the only home she has was IGH.
The acting in this episode was awesome as well. Since it was a flashback, everyone got to play a younger version of themselves and it was really great to see. Rachel Taylor did a really great job of showing what the drugged out of her mind Trish was, Jessica was more of the same but happier then she is now and Alisa was a mother looking for her daughter.
The Verdict:
AKA I Want Your Cray Cray was an awesome flashback episode. In a season that is basically digging up the past, it’s nice to see that they have enough room and story for a flashback episode. I really like how Sterling played a huge part in shaping Jessica in her younger years and seeing Trish at her lowest was nice to see as well. Overall, this was a great flashback episode and it help set the stage for what we can expect to see happen in the next few episodes.
9.5/10
Next up, Episode 8.

Well thanks to Brisk, we have a somewhat first look at the Symbiote face for Venom in the upcoming movie:
It seems that Brisk will be teaming up with Sony by releasing a new flavour of their drink alongside the release of Venom. While it isn’t a clear look, it’s the best one we have right now because Sony isn’t really giving up any more info about the movie at this time.

First Impressions: Far Cry 5
I just got Far Cry 5 last night and I have been able to play it for almost 10 hours now. I am going to give you my first impressions of the game so far. This will be aimed more towards someone who is thinking about getting the game or for those who are curious.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KRnOXQswrk[/embedyt]
Minor Spoilers Ahead! Proceed With Caution!
Introduction:
The beginning mission of the game puts you right into the conflict. You are a rookie who is in a helicopter with the Sheriff of Hope County, the Deputy to Hope County and the US Marshal. You four are sent in with an arrest warrant for Joseph Seed, the “Father” and leader of a doomsday cult who has taken over Hope County. You arrive and cuff the Father to take him in but are stopped when your helicopter crashes down. You are then forced to flee for your life from the cult until you are captured by a man named Dutch. Dutch saves you from the cult and gives you a fresh change of clothes along with one mission, Destroy Eden’s Gate and the Father so you can reclaim Hope County.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ANjqeoSuV0[/embedyt]
Hope County is split up into four sections with each member of the Seed family having their own territory. I am halfway through John’s part and I really can’t wait to finish reclaiming his section as well as fight him. Each member of the Seed family is in charge of their own business of Eden’s Gate.
Those are the only story details I will share, now it’s time to talk about gameplay mechanics and improvements that Far Cry 5 brings to the table.
Gameplay Features:
Far Cry 5 looks to continue using the formula that the last games have established the series. You get an open world and story-driven game that also comes with loads of extra side missions, collectables, enemies to hunt and a vast land to explore. One thing that this game pushes is that you can explore everything this game at your own pace. You can stick with the story missions or go exploring the vast open world. You are the player and the game gives you the freedom to choose what you do with your time. It’s this type of non-linear gameplay that sets this apart from the other games on the market.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TngaSOi5234[/embedyt]
The graphics are amazing. I am playing this on the PC with everything set on Ultra and it is visually stunning to look at. The detail in the grass. fur, building, water and so many more things are just so life-like and beautiful to see. The cutscenes in the game are also amazing to look at.
Far Cry 5 gives you what you expect from the series but with some added new features as well. You have your guns, cars, wildlife to hunt and bad guys to kill as well. You can also bring along a companion with you no matter where you go. This can be either a member of the Resistance or you can bring along one of the three new animal companions. You can choose from Boomer The Dog, Cheeseburger The Bear or Peaches the Cougar. I have only gotten Boomer at this point but he is an awesome companion and Doggo of course.
Boomer can help you take down enemies, scout ahead and look around or steal weapons from the enemies to disarm them.
The biggest difference is the setting. Instead of taking place in foreign lands, Far Cry 5 decides to take it’s brand of chaos to the USA. Hope County is located in Montana and with the new setting comes along some new bosses and enemies. You will be fighting a Doomsday Cult known as Eden’s Gate.
Eden’s Gate is lead by Joseph ‘Father’ Seed, along with his siblings John, Faith and Jacob. They have taken over the place and are not going to let out go without a fight. I have only really encountered John in his territory and the Seed family is really crazy, you can’t help but want to watch them and learn more about them. The cutscenes for this game are so interesting and you can’t take your eyes off of what is happening on screen.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J695Yz33TY4[/embedyt]
Now getting back to gameplay, The shooting and driving mechanics are the same from Far Cry 4 so no big difference. The enemies act the same way as in Far Cry 4 and the AI from them hasn’t really changed that much.
You can say that Far Cry 5 is kinda like Far Cry 4 but with added mechanics and new villains. You wouldn’t be wrong for thinking this, the gameplay does feel like Far Cry 4 with a new paint job. However, Far Cry 4 lost me after while because the story wasn’t really interesting and the villain was fun but not enough to keep my interest.
However, Far Cry 5 is a lot more interesting because the story is engaging and the villains are scary and interesting. Far Cry 5 also decides to ditch the radio tower mechanic that older games used as well. No more having to climb up towers to see what’s around you like 500 times. Dutch has you only climb one and he helps you out from there. This was a much-needed upgrade because climbing Radio Towers is only fun 2-3 times before you start to feel it drag and hate it.
Arcade:
Arcade is another new feature that Far Cry 5 has to shake things up and keep you playing. Arcade is a mode where you can either make your own levels or play others from the online community.
That’s right folks! We have a mode where you can make anything you want! It’s a feature that I last saw in Far Cry 2 but it’s even bigger. I haven’t had much time to play this yet but I have played a few levels and I can say that it is really fun.
Modes like these always seem to be a big win for gamers and can guarantee that you will have people playing months after launch. I will make sure to play more and maybe even make some levels myself but so far, this seems to bring a lot of new ways to play with friends online.
The Verdict:
For just about 10 hours, Far Cry 5 has me hooked. With its intriguing story and world, I want to see what happens to the people of Hope County and I want to take down the cult that has taken over. The Arcade mode also a nice addition and I will make sure to go more in-depth with it later on. Right now, I’m very impressed with Far Cry 5 it has managed to outshine both Far Cry 4 and Far Cry Primal. Far Cry 5 has a lot more intriguing elements and for those who skipped out on the other games, you should really pick this one up.
