Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth – Party Members Ranked
I didn’t expect to love “Infinite Wealth” as much as I did. I’d liked the first “Like A Dragon” but didn’t fall head over heels, but I was enamored by the Hawaiian setting, the combat and the cast of memorable characters. All party members were pretty equal in terms of skill (as the various jobsContinue reading “Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth – Party Members Ranked”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Reclaimed” (Dual Destinies – Special Case)
“Turnabout Reclaimed” is a DLC case for Dual Destinies that sees Phoenix and Athena investigate a murder at an aquarium. There are pirates, penguins, and singing orca … but just what on earth happened at the Shipshape Aquarium? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten forContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Reclaimed” (Dual Destinies – Special Case)”
Persona 3 Reload – Every Party Member Ranked
“Persona 3 Reload” was one of my favourite games of 2024, and it’ll definitely go down as one of my favourite games in the series.

Demon Slayer “Hashira Training” Arc – Every Episode Ranked
The “Hashira Training” Arc is the calm before the storm – I knew going into it that it was a big set-up before the final battle, so I kept my expectations low. As a result, I had a decent time with this solid batch of episodes. Some parts were definitely better than others, though –Continue reading “Demon Slayer “Hashira Training” Arc – Every Episode Ranked”
10 Books I Loved In 2024 (And 4 I Didn’t)
One of my great hobbies in life is writing (as evident by this blog) – specifically writing novels and short stories. As suspected, I also don’t mind reading a book or two … and I thought I’d highlight some of my favourites and disappointments from 2024. These aren’t all the books I read last yearContinue reading “10 Books I Loved In 2024 (And 4 I Didn’t)”
“Bridge Over Troubled Water” – Every Song Ranked
The more I listen to Simon and Garfunkel, the more I fall in love. Paul Simon’s songwriting and Art Garfunkel’s vocals combine to create some of the most intelligent, most angelic compositions I’ve ever heard. My favourite album of theirs has to be “Bridge Over Troubled Water” just for the sheer number of incredible tracksContinue reading ““Bridge Over Troubled Water” – Every Song Ranked”

Every year FIFA awards what they deem to be the greatest goal of the year the “Puskas Award”, named after one of the greatest goal-scorers football has ever seen.
