I heard a lot of good music in 2022. Honestly, these deserve as much attention as the A-list IMO. But not everybody gets to be the best. Let’s take a look. Scenic Drive by Khalid This is a pop-R&B mini-album that is perfect ...

Here we are again. My favorite list to compile is back. This time I have enough for an A and B list. But let’s talk about the winners first. We Are by Jon Batiste My favorite album of 2022 was from 2021, but We Are is just so go...

Not every game I liked was a world-ending superstar. Sometimes they’re just good.   Cult of the Lamb There’s a lot of village builder games, lots of rogue-lite action games, and even a lot of farming games with dungeon...

Before we get started, I only played Xbox this year. So there’s no God of War in here. I did play the last one, so I will have to get around to Ragnarok after I get a PS5. Also, I didn’t play everything. And that’s th...

At first, I was going to do separate blogs for Rock/Pop and Rap R&B. Then I was going to make A-list and B-list blogs. But finally, I was like, maybe I can just do one blog and make some hard choices. And here we are. Some of my fa...

Unfortunately, this year has been pretty slight for game music that I remember. Forgive me for the things I probably missed. I only have 2 games here with music good enough to get stuck in my head. Loop Hero Has The Best Music In a Gam...

My A-list is what it is, but I wanted an opportunity to shout-out some games in the next tier. You probably played those A-list games. These games? I ask you to play them if you haven’t. I want the developers of Observation to af...

My favorite 3 games this year have been no secret. I’ve mentioned them before, but let’s lavish even more praise on them. They deserve it. These are all AAA sequels, but this year was very, very good for those. These three,...

In 2020 I read 3 fantasy series and I’m in the middle of one now. Since they occupied a bunch of my time, lets talk about them. I’m going to force you to listen to me talk about fantasy. Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks (...

One of my most interesting 2020 developments has been my renewed commitment to reading. I’m on my 24th book right now. I’ve read 3 fantasy series and a lot of horror. I may talk about fantasy later, but here are the best ho...

I listened to a lot of music in 2020. I’ll do my best to narrow it down. I certainly made some cuts. For instance, I listened to so little metal in 2020 that almost none of it made the list. “After Hours” by The Weekn...

Hey guys. We’ve had quite a year, huh? As always, I didn’t play everything. So I will be excluding a bunch of games you probably love. I didn’t play those games. Surprised that I forgot about the most amazing experien...

Finally, the blessed medium. The one where you control what’s on the TV. Chewy, we’re home. Let’s get to it. The Surge 2 is now my favorite Souls-like I have a troubled relationship with Souls-likes. I like their comb...

Pop this year was pretty fantastic. I can’t crown a winner. But here are a few you may not have heard of, and one you probably have. “Flamboyant“ by Dorian Electra Dorian Electra is Flamboyant as shit. But underneath...

Greetings again. This was a great year for music, but aren’t they all? Since I’ve starting doing this, and keeping track of what I listen to, there just hasn’t been a bad year. If anything, it just gets harder to choo...

Greetings! This year, I plan to take my time. I want to take a leisurely stroll through 2019’s year-in-review blogs. But this one? I can do this right now. Let’s talk game music. If there’s any kind of winner for musi...

Alright folks, we’re back with the second half.  Again, no particular order, no fancy stuff, just pure video-watching enjoyment if you want it. Clean Bandit & Marina & Luis Fonsi – Baby The Carters – APE...

Best TV: The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix This show made my October like I never expected.  I’ve read the book, seen the movie, and this owns all of that.  Mike Flannagan is the director Hollywood gets when they w...

Okay, main event time.  There’s a reason these opening paragraphs suck.  I have no plan.  Let’s just jump into it. Best Game: Spider-Man Also, Best Hero because it’s Spider-Man Look, I have an inherent ...

No, it’s not the same as music.  Music videos are another category.  The music does matter, but not exclusively.  But instead of going into detail, I’ll just let you watch them in no particular order.  H...

This may be the hardest one I have to decide.  There’s just so much there.  Better just jump right in. Best Overall Album: “Dirty Computer” by Janelle Monae Also, Best YouTube Video Artist It’s extreme...

Greeting and welcome to my end-of-year list…part 1.  After last year’s fiasco of creating a blog that was so stuffed with videos it didn’t load, and this year offering at least as much to talk about, I’ve ...

Recently I had to prep for medical stuff and therefore had 24-hours to kill. So I set myself up and built a Master Grade Exia kit over about 12 hours + 2 more later for the weapons. This was my first Gundam 00 kit after previously buil...

Greetings, folks.  As you may know, I’ve decided to have a Gundam phase.  Over the next year, I plan to drip-feed myself first-seasons of various Gundam shows.  As part of that-or maybe just because-I’m build...

Okay, this time I’m listing dream games and specific fantasy ideas.  The big-picture wishes haven’t changed from last year.  I’ll try to avoid stuff that’s been leaked or announced, because it’s ...

As always, keep in mind I did not see everything, play everything, or listen to everything, so if you see a notable absence of something, I probably didn't get to it this year.  Probably. The round-up is extra long this year, with...

Hi, Siddartha here.  I don’t know why you’d ever have to fake liking heavy metal.  I'm trying to imagine a situation where it's critical to pretend to like this niche but amazing genre of music, but it's tough. &n...

I tried to steer clear of just listing hoped-for games.  I'm more interested in events.  What kinds of things get announced more generally. Nintendo is Already Doing Great Not much to say here. I could say something about a n...

Hey guys, I wanted to post some of my favorite Gravity Rush 2 selfies, because you know what?  Nobody else has seen them or ever will and that is a crying shame.  GR2 has one of the best photo modes I've ever seen in a game. ...

Okay, so this year's list is even more unconventional than last year's.  I'm not exactly making a list.  It's more of a series of moments. DOOM Was King and Lord of Shooters Let’s skip to #1.  Almost everyone&rsquo...
