Introducing Mr. Dad, Mommy & the Boys

Mr. Dad (a.k.a. MaxxHoorn, 46) lives with his girlfriend (Mommy, 48) and her two sons (Onyx (18) & Kuromochiii (13)) in a small town near Hoorn in the Netherlands. Mommy, Onyx & Kuromochiii came from the Philippines in the middle of 2020. They are currently learning the Dutch language and culture. Since Onyx & Kuromochiii have a father, we settled on the nickname Mr. Dad.


We're all into gaming, movies, TV series, etc., but because of the cultural differences between Europe and Asia and because of the age gap, our interests don't always align. That's where the 'versus' comes in. Don't worry, we're not fighting about it, just comparing. And sometimes we all like the same stuff, like Star Wars.


Mr. Dad is into Marvel (and a bit less DC) in comics, movies, games and TV series. Also he likes to play games like Fallout 76, Marvel's Avengers and Fortnite on the Playstation 4. This fills up most of his spare time outside work and chores at home.


Mommy likes to play mobile games like 'Design Home: House Renovation', 'Legend of the Phoenix', 'Grand Mafia' and 'Game of Survival'. She's active on Facebook and keeps in contact with friends and family through FB Messenger. She likes to watch anime like Bleach, One Piece and Demon Slayer and also DC TV's series like Arrow, The Flash and her favorite: Lucifer. She spents time on this outside her work in the household, the laundry and cooking.


Onyx is the artist of the bunch. He is a self-taught guitar player who likes bands like Polyphia, Slipknot and Green Day. Since many years he's drawing and painting and his goal is to be a concept designer. He draws in Krita, but also on paper and paints on canvas. He likes manga (Japanese comicbooks) and anime (Japanese cartoons) and also draws manga style. Take a look at his creations at his Onyx's Studio Facebook page. Also he likes to watch Formula 1, assemble Gundams and ride his mountainbike. His favorite meat is beef. 


Kuromochiii is the most addicted gamer of the family, although Mr. Dad and Onyx are close runners up. Kuromochiii plays League of Legends, Genshin Impact and (reluctantly) Fortnite. He wants to be a YouTubber or a Game Streamer. He started by adding some montages of League on his Kuromochiii YouTube channel. When he's not gaming he follows a lot of other YouTubers and Streamers. Also he watches a lot of anime like Fairy Tail, Naruto and One Piece. In November he bought a keyboard and he's teaching himself how to play via YouTube instruction video's.


There you have it, that is us. On this blog I want to chronicle some of the contrasts between us. Differences in culture, language, but most of all our likes and dislikes. I'm not writing this for anyone in particular, other then myself. But if you like it, be sure to come back once in a while.

Then versus Now

  Hi guys, I'm back! How are you doing? Could I subtly disguise the fact that I have't written anything in over three years, after an insane amount of posts (well, six) in a four month period back in late 2020 / start 2021? I guess not. So I'll have to bring you up to speed a bit. First of all, we all got older. Which should not come as a total surprise. But we had some significant milestones. Onyx became 21, Kuromochiii is now 16 and Mr. Dad has his 50th birthday in 2 months. And still all into games, comics/manga, animated TV shows & movies/anime and other nerd-stuff. Onyx is currently doing his second year of Game Artist at the Mediacollege Amsterdam. This is where he met his current girlfriend, who is also an aspiring game artist and tattoo artist. Within the Game Artist course, Onyx chose the 3D modeling track. Besides school he still plays guitar a lot, does photography, going to rock concerts (like Polyphia) and Ikea and of course there is the gaming. Kuromochii...

Comic versus Cartoon: Invincible

  Okay, since we're on the subject of comic book adapatations, did you see the Red Band (R-rated) trailer of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad ? I'm very much looking forward to that! I liked the first movie by David Ayer, but it did differ a lot from the feel of the trailer. That's why a lot of people are now asking to #releasetheayercut. Last week the SnyderCut of Justice League came out after a massive fan-campaign for that. I don't think Warner Bros will spend a lot of money on another recut, though, so probably not going to happen. I'm indifferent about it. If they decide to recut it, I'll watch it, if not, I'll patiently wait for Gunn's sorta-sequel. So in the trailer we get a look at some (but probably not all) of the villians turned heroes. We have Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) reprising their roles from the first Suicide Squad (the one without the 'T...
