The Wire Troll: Cory Joseph Taking Advantage of Injuries in Indy

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Hezonja has been taking advantage of a couple of injuries in Orlando and has really been shining lately, scoring at least 21 points in each of his last three games. His PT is way up recently and he’s averaged two treys so far this month. Barring injury, Hezonja should surpass his game total from last season, and right now he looks like a spectacular DFS play before his PT wanes as the team gets healthy. Taken fifth overall in 2015, this Croatian has been playing power forward of late, so he’ll likely gain eligibility at that position soon, providing even more value to his owners.

Video Game Review: Lost Sphear

/ Video Game Reviews

In terms of length, Lost Sphear is markedly longer than its predecessor, checking in closer to 30 hours with the option for more if you want to do additional leveling and exploration. It’s a bit more difficult as well, though that mostly covers a handful of frustrating boss battles where they inflict catastrophic status effects on your party.

Blu-ray Review: Daddy’s Home 2

/ Movie Reviews

Sometimes adding more characters dilutes a successful formula, but Lithgow and Gibson both bring something to the table. They’re complete opposites of one another — Lithgow as the doting father and Gibson as the gruff man’s man — and do well in their roles. It’s easy to forget after so much happened off screen that Gibson was a funny guy.

The Wire Troll: Ryan Spooner Boiling Up in Boston

/ Hockey, The Wire Troll

Virtanen hasn’t yet done anything with these extra minutes, but an increased role does represent an opportunity, and that’s worth tracking at the very least. For what it’s worth, he enjoyed his highest shooting percentage of the season last month and has had a decent bounce back effort after spending most of last season in the minors. Keep in mind, Virtanen was the sixth overall pick in 2014, but we’re going to need to see improvement in his +/- before he begins to be a real Fantasy asset. If he can remain healthy and start doing something with this opportunity, perhaps we’ll finally get a chance to see why he was picked so high. We’ll be monitoring this kid closely in the second half.

Book Review: Born Fanatic – My Life in the Grip of the NFL

/ Book review, Football, Vaney Hariri

It is rare for the average fan to ever gain insight into the life and times of a Hall of Famer and it may be as rare to gain those insights from one of their children. What type of men sacrifice time and engagement with their families to play a game that requires strategies with the complexities of war yet a willingness to partake in violence with the simplicity of a car crash?

Video Game Review: Shadow of the Colossus

/ Video Game Reviews

Running on the PS4 Pro on a 4K TV in Cinematic mode, Shadow of the Colossus steps in as one of the best looking games on the system, which is a testament to the job Bluepoint Games did in rebuilding it from the ground up. The environments are gorgeous, and the way the light streams through the trees as you make your way through a wooded section is a sight to behold.

Blu-ray Review: Suburbicon

/ Movie Reviews

Suburbicon’s cast is its strongest element. Seeing Damon as a full-blown antagonist is different, and he plays the smarmy Gardner Lodge well. Moore is also sharp in dual roles. Expect to see more of Jupe, too, as he does good work as Nicky. Isaac delivers the film’s best performance, but he’s limited to just two scenes despite fairly high billing.
