Which JoJo Stand Is The Best? (Diamond Is Unbreakable)

I’ve already ranked the Stardust Crusaders Stands, so it’s only fair to give the rest of the Parts a go – continuing with “Diamond Is Unbreakable”. The Stands are even stronger and weirder this time around, if you can believe that. Same sort of rules as before – I’ll be ranking each Stand out ofContinue reading “Which JoJo Stand Is The Best?

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Bridge to the Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 5)

After three games and fourteen cases of storytelling, it all comes down to this. “Bridge to the Turnabout” is a fan favourite case, and for good reason – but will it hold up to an intensive retrospective? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each.Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Bridge to the Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 5)”

1991: The Year In Music

1991 – The Gulf War ends after Iraq accepts a ceasefire following their retreat from Kuwait. A cyclone strikes the Chittagong district in Bangladesh, killing 139,000 people and leaving 10 million homeless. Pablo Escobar surrenders to police. The climactic eruption of the Mount Pinatubo volcano occurs in the Philippines – the second-largest volcanic eruption ofContinue reading “1991: The Year In Music”

1990: The Year In Music

1990 – Nelson Mandela is released after 27 years imprisonment in South Africa. Hubble Space Telescope sends its first photographs from space. Both East and West Germany ratify reunification. British and French workers meet in the middle of the Channel Tunnel under the English Channel. A more positive year in news than usual … soContinue reading “1990: The Year In Music”

“The Downward Spiral” – Songs Ranked

The 90’s was a time of great change in music, with bands like Nirvana reshaping the public’s perception of radio. One album that still seems alien to me, however, is “The Downward Spiral”. It’s not that Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails were ahead of their time … it’s more like they were outside ofContinue reading ““The Downward Spiral” – Songs Ranked”

Which JoJo Stand Is The Best? (Stardust Crusaders)

If I’m going to rank the many JoJo Stands (starting with “Stardust Crusaders”), I want to do it my way. My convoluted, mildly autistic way. I’m not just looking at how “powerful” a Stand is, or even take into account the six skill categories shown in every episode (the ones scored A to E) –Continue reading “Which JoJo Stand Is The Best? (Stardust Crusaders)”

Every Beatles Cover Song Ranked

Especially in their earlier years, the Beatles were known to take a Rock ‘n’ Roll classic and make it their own … for better or worse. Thanks to a suggestion by commenter “John”, I’ll be ranking all twenty-five Beatles cover songs from worst to best – if you have an idea for a ranking youContinue reading “Every Beatles Cover Song Ranked”

“Red” (King Crimson) – Songs Ranked

In my initial dive into King Crimson’s work, two albums stood out to me – their debut (of course), and “Red”. This excellent collection of five hard-hitting songs was apparently Curt Cobain’s favourite album, and it’s quickly climbing my ranks too. How would I rank every song? You can check out some of my relatedContinue reading ““Red” (King Crimson) – Songs Ranked”

1989: The Year In Music

1989 – Thousands of Chinese crowd into Beijing’s Tiananmen Square cheering students demanding greater political freedom. This leads to the Tiananmen Square Massacre, as Chinese troops open fire on pro-democracy supporters. Elsewhere, Germans begin demolishing the Berlin Wall. Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and US President George H.W. Bush declare the Cold War over. A prettyContinue reading “1989: The Year In Music”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)

“Turnabout Beginnings”, much like the first case of the game, is a flashback case that puts Mia Fey at the helm once more. Over the course of a harrowing trial, we start to understand the horrible events that set the narrative of the present day into motion. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinctContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)”
