Hades – Every God Ranked
I recently fought my way out of the Underworld for the second time, racking up over two-hundred runs across my two playthroughs, so it’s fair to say I’ve used every boon in Hades by this point. I’ll be ranking the nine Olympian Gods based on the boons they give you (in other words, their personalityContinue reading “Hades – Every God Ranked”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)
Urgh … well I suppose I had to reach this case eventually. “Turnabout Big Top”, the third case in “Justice For All”, is widely hated by everyone … except, weirdly, Shu Takami himself (Ace Attorney’s creator and lead writer). He called this case “basically perfect”, which is incorrect for a plethora of reasons that I’mContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)”

Now that the year has come to an end, I can finally say I (barely) reached that goal! A few disclaimers before we startContinue reading “Every Film I Watched In 2023 Ranked”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Reunion, and Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 2)
“Reunion, and Turnabout”, the second case of “Justice For All”, is unique in that it’s the first Ace Attorney case to be told out of order. Chronologically, it takes place before “The Lost Turnabout” and is framed as Phoenix recounting his unorthodox reunion with Maya. Many fans consider this a step up from the openingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Reunion, and Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 2)”
