2022: The Good, The Bad, The Surprising, & The Disappointing
It’s time to look back on the year when the deuces ganged up on the nil and we all thought the world was getting back to normal. The following are my picks for the best and worst Movies, TV Shows and Books that I watched and read in 2022.
ʻOumuamua: A Messenger From Afar
The first known interstellar object to visit our solar system. It divebombed in and left only mystery in its wake.
Greatest Villains of All-Time: The Joker
I honest tried NOT to pick the Joker. I wanted to go against the grain and be that annoying person who claims the Joker is not the greatest villain ever… but it simply cannot be done.
Fabiola da Silva: The Unsung Trailblazer
Before some of the most inspirational women in sports proved they are just as capable as men, Fabiola da Silva achieved what many of them likely never will.
Greatest Villains of All-Time: Frieza
He was born evil. No tragic backstory. No pitiful origin. He's ruthlessly merciless, feared by trillions, and destroys on impulse. Frieza may actually be the perfect villain.
The Problem with The Olympics
This is not a look at the economic impact of hosting the Olympic Games, but a look at the games themselves and why the Olympics are boring.
Greatest Villains of All-Time: Eric Sparrow
By leaps and bounds, Eric Sparrow is the single most hateable villain in any game ever, and it's not even close. He is easily the most want-to-punch-in-the-face character ever.
Greatest Villains of All-Time: Cassandra Nova
Cassandra Nova is, without question, one of the most dangerous figures the X-Men have ever encountered, and one of the most personal. She is the ideological dark shadow of Xavier and is hellbent on destruction and genocide.
What Book Do You Hate Because You Were Forced To Read It In School?
One of a number of videos recorded a couple years ago of me and some friends from work talking about books we like and don’t like.
Greatest Villains of All-Time: Handsome Jack
Borderlands 2 set a new standard of villain with Handsome Jack, quite possibly one of the most memorable characters in entertainment history.
Greatest Villains of All-Time: Selene Gallio
AKA The Black Queen, Selene Gallio is one of the oldest mutants on earth and also one of the most powerful. A telepathic vampire, and considered to have one the highest body counts in all of X-Men.
The Search for the Greatest Villain of All-Time
The villain, the antagonist, the bad guy, whatever you want to to them, is easily the most important part of any good vs. evil story. There can be a villain without a hero, but there can’t be a hero without a villain.
2021: The Good, The Bad, The Surprising, & The Disappointing
It’s time to look back on when the year twenty hundred became old enough to drink. The following are my picks for the best and worst movies, tv shows and books that I watched and read in 2021.
Cascadia: The Mother of All Earthquakes
When San Andreas finally unleashes “The Big One,” it’s estimated to reach between 8 – 8.6 on the Richter Scale, and while that is indeed big, it’s considered bare minimum for Cascadia.
The Problem with Football Movies
Movies are very good at making any sports more exciting than they actually are in real-time. The problem with football is that this is hard to do.
The Bloodbath of B-R5RB
Not the biggest, not the most costly, but by far the most famous. Even those who do not play Eve Online have heard of the Bloodbath of B-R5RB. At the time, it was the greatest battle EVE Online had ever seen—that any game had ever seen.
The True Stories of Eve Online Pt. 2
Eve Online continues to be the most fascinating and intimidating game ever made.
The True Stories of Eve Online
Eve Online is simultaneously the most fascinating and intimidating game ever made. Each year the game manages to draw more and more players into it with its unique sandbox world and ongoing narrative that has become one of the most seminal pieces of science fiction of our time.
Michael Vick Belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame
Michael Vick’s legacy is not one that's measured in stats, but of influence. His cultural impact on the sport simply cannot be denied.
