It’s such a fantastic album, and some of its songs are quickly becoming new favourites … but how would I rankContinue reading “Merriweather Post Pavilion (Animal Collective) – Every Song Ranked”
Top 50 “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” Episodes
I’ve spent the last year and a bit watching and ranking the episodes of each JoJo Part, so now it’s time for the big one – I’m going to rank my top fifty episodes from one of my favourite anime. Every episode is so different, and each Part had a plethora of great entries –Continue reading “Top 50 “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” Episodes”
Every Half Life 2 Chapter Ranked
“Half Life 2” came out in 2004. According to Steam, I first gave it a go in 2016 but stopped playing after an hour. I decided to give it another go in 2025, almost a decade after my first attempt and over two decades after the initial release … and, dare I say, Valve cookedContinue reading “Every Half Life 2 Chapter Ranked”
Game Changer – Season 7 Episodes Ranked
“Game Changer” remains one of the best shows money can buy – its seventh and most recent season was fantastic yet again, with some of the episodes being among my all-time favourites. As always, some episodes were more exciting than others. How would I rank all ten (or is it?) episodes from the season? BeforeContinue reading “Game Changer – Season 7 Episodes Ranked”

Every “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” Major Character Ranked
I recently (depending on when I post this) ranked the JoJo villains, so now it’s time for me to rank … pretty much everyone else. I’ll be looking at the major characters in the series who aren’t antagonists and ranking them on how much I personally connected to them (possible SPOILERS ahead). Sorry if IContinue reading “Every “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” Major Character Ranked”

Top 50 Best Selling Albums Of All Time – Ranked
I recently watched a YouTube video by a channel called “The Man in Me” which listed out the fifty best-selling albums of all time. It was a far more random list than I was expecting – some of the classics were there as expected, but other albums seemed really inconsequential and out of place. WhatContinue reading “Top 50 Best Selling Albums Of All Time – Ranked”
Top 10 “Flight Of The Conchords” Songs
One day while browsing YouTube, I came across a silly little video of two New Zealanders singing a funny song. Upon further research, it turns out they’ve written many funny songs. Some of them quite rib-tickling. I can’t say I’ve heard every song they’ve ever done, but I wanted to highlight my favourite ten atContinue reading “Top 10 “Flight Of The Conchords” Songs”
