Ever since “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” came out, I’ve done nothing but sing its praises on my blog.

Top 10 Albums of the 2020’s (So Far)

I’ve recently been going through every year in music for my thorough retrospectives, and as such I’ve been exposed to some fantastic albums. I wanted to talk about some of my favourites – this time looking at the 2020’s (or the first half of it, anyway!).

Every “Mistborn” Book Ranked

I used to read a lot as a kid, but I stopped reading as a teenager for reasons I can’t quite explain. Either I thought it was uncool or it was a “waste of time”, I’m not sure. That all changed, however, when I bought myself a copy of Brandon Sanderson’s “Mistborn” … and theContinue reading “Every “Mistborn” Book Ranked”

“The Wow! Signal” (Muse) – Songs Ranked & Album Review

Muse have released a new album! I’ve been a Muse fan for almost a decade now, so I’m always hyped whenever a new project releases. “The Wow! Signal” is yet another shift in tone for the band – it’s a sort of halfway point between the synthetic sounds on “Simulation Theory” and the Heavy RockContinue reading ““The Wow!

EVERY Doctor Who Monster Ranked

I started making this list in early June, and it was originally going to be a celebration of “Doctor Who” and its eclectic cast of monsters. After the recent news that it’s been put out to tender, however, I can’t help but feel that this has turned into a sort of autopsy. Either way, oneContinue reading “EVERY Doctor Who Monster Ranked”

Top 20 Videogame Performances Of All Time

There was a time roughly two decades ago when videogame acting was considered a “lesser” acting medium. Audiences played the games and enjoyed the silly voices, but you hardly ever experienced a performance worth appreciating or awarding. But near the end of the 2000’s, when performance capture was taking off and videogame writing began improvingContinue reading “Top 20 Videogame Performances Of All Time”

Every “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” Area Ranked

I recently replayed “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” for the third time, and it was just as awesome as the first and second.
