My Top 50 Films
At some point in time, everyone makes a list like this. That being said, I doubt this list will ever be set in stone. Tastes in film change over time. Some films that were your favorite at one point may drop down several levels at another point. And since I doubt I'd repeatedly make another … Continue reading My Top 50 Films
Final Fantasy IX (2000) review
Rated: 2 / 5* This was the one PS1 Final Fantasy game I hadn't played in my youth. Or rather, I played a bit of it, but then got sidetracked by something else. I'm one of those people where if I'm unable to complete a game within a certain number of days (maybe even a … Continue reading Final Fantasy IX (2000) review
Torment: Tides of Numenera review
Rated: 4 / 5 I've tried to get through a few RPGs in the past, and failed. Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Diablo, Diablo II, and Baldur's Gate. Basically amounted to just losing the will to continue in those games. It had to do with the monotony of combat, grinding, lack of interest in … Continue reading Torment: Tides of Numenera review
Christmas, its songs, and the Greatest Christmas Movie of all Time
What is the meaning of Christmas? It's meaning has being altered (to put it lightly) over the centuries. Initially, it meant the day Christ was born (even though it's highly likely he wasn't born on December 25). The significance being to celebrate the birth of a man who would go on to make the world … Continue reading Christmas, its songs, and the Greatest Christmas Movie of all Time
How to fix a water heater.
So I've had a problem with the water heater recently. First, it stopped making hot water. Tried to determine what was wrong with it, but wasn't thorough enough with my analysis, so a plumber was called in. Turns out, what could've been a $20 fix turned into a $120 fix because I couldn't determine the … Continue reading How to fix a water heater.
Richard Jewell (2019) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 "Jewell fits the profile of the lone bomber. A frustrated white man who was a police wannabe who seeks to become a hero." If Steven Spielberg's 2018 film The Post is a message about the importance of the press and how they should never be suppressed from reporting the truth, then … Continue reading Richard Jewell (2019) review
Fear Effect 1 and 2 (2000 and 2001) PS1 review
So I've been thinking lately. Surely the early console games that had 3D graphics had some decent games. You know, in spite of not holding up as well as PS3 and X-Box 360 games do (the console generation of 2005-2013), which is when I believe 3D gaming graphics finally reached a stable state (just as … Continue reading Fear Effect 1 and 2 (2000 and 2001) PS1 review
The Simpsons: S2E9: Itchy & Scratchy & Marge
Skippable Intro So I'm going to do something a little different. Rather than review an entire series, or an entire season of a show, I'm going to do an episode review. Besides, when it comes to a show like the Simpsons, most die-hard fans will agree that this show has been dying a slow death … Continue reading The Simpsons: S2E9: Itchy & Scratchy & Marge
Casper (1995) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 What's it like to die? Like... being born, only backwards. I actually liked this mid-90s kid flick. Not something you're going to hear me say too often, because aside from the animated Disney flicks, 9 times out of 10, 90s kid films sucked ass. The 3 Ninja movies sucked ass (though … Continue reading Casper (1995) review
