Games I Beat In 2017, But Ranked

Here's the other thing I've been doing at the end of the year. Essentially rating all the games I beat in this year in specific order, a reverse countdown up to my top pick. If it's not reversed get a different browser or just imagine it in your head where the last entry is the top rank. Not a lot this year so definitely not a top 10, and even if there were more, I'd just list them all anyway.

2017 Year End Song List Recap: Partial Hell Edition

This year was up and down and all over the freaking place. Not the best year. Kinda like garbage, but with some good points, so it's like digging through recycling, where you could be in worse trash, but at the same time there's a bunch of sticky soda cans messing things up and probably attracting bugs as well. Same goes for pop music. There was a lot of not great pop music on the charts, sometimes something good. I don't know if music will get better or worse or if I'm just too old for this crap already. At least there's indie stuff or at least less mainstream but still gets radio play. Anyway here's a bunch of songs and I'm going to see if things are better or worse and if standards are maybe lowering or not. Probably somewhere.

Star Wars Episode 8 Talk Thing (Probably Spoilers)

This is going to have spoilers, sort of, inevitably, so for the sake of things, I don't suggest clicking through to this post unless you have seen or have absolutely no plans to see The Last Jedi. Unlike co-workers you may or may not have, I'm going to give you fair warning before I talk about anything in the movie.

Spotify's Top 2017 Songs JUST FOR ME!

Apparently Spotify has been doing things like trying to figure out what you like and all that, and is also jamming it into playlists like Discover Weekly. This time they did their own year-end, and because of what I tend to find on there, mine came out... very weirdly. But that's just what I do, I guess. Anyway time to try to explain why I like certain songs, or at least listened to them enough for them to end up on here.

Reviews Album View

He started from Degrassi and now we're here looking at whatever this rap/hip-hop/R&B? album is. I bet I won't really get it and not really like a lot of it. See when I look at rap I keep thinking of what I'd listen to in the 2000s era when MTV2, which had music then, was showing me this whole movement of primarily Southern hip hop so I'm seeing groups like Outkast or the Ying Yang Twins and such. Nowadays I'm not really paying attention to the rap stuff but now it's just all over the charts more than ever and to the point where country people are even trying to rap. It's weird. But anyway here's this guy rapping. HE RAPS. And sings I guess.

Star Trek Discovery First Episode Thing

So to get people on board for the new Star Trek and possibly buying their own specific version of a Netflix or Hulu-type service, CBS decided to show the first episode on regular TV, so of course I decided to check it out because not only was nothing else really on at the time, but I also kinda like Star Trek. I'll kinda be describing the plot of this one episode in the process of review, so this counts as a spoiler warning, hopefully. Be warned, there's pretty much badly-written and rambling spoilers for the very first episode of Star Trek Discovery.

1976 Year End List Review Thing: Deep In The Disco Edition (Part 2)

Here we go, it's this again, lots more disco to come among other funky business. Here's where the list is and below is where my list is.

1976 Year End List Review Thing: Bicentennial Funk Edition (Part 1)

Well here we are again, so it's the bicentennial of America, so you've got a lot of patriotism, but then there was Vietnam, so you've got a lot of the opposite. That seems to happen a lot. At least there's disco instead of crappy garbage music that time. You see people complain about disco back then and you show them some of the garbage today and they'll want like a decade more of those mirror ball thingies. Or just go back to the 40s, I don't know. We'll see what comes out of this list and see how it compares to... itself I guess, not really running a lot of things here. Also this is when music videos were less frequent (until recently because a bunch of rap songs drop and they forget to make videos or just put them on some obscure website) so there's like concert stuff but videos still showed up somehow. If anything just compiled from clips.

Katy Perry: Witless Protection Featuring Larry "Git-R-Dun" The Cable Guy

Music has allowed me to travel, which has reeducated my mind and changed my perspective on so much, so my education and my consciousness comes from my voice, and that's how I see, and that's how I witness you and that's how you witness me and that's why the eye is in the mouth. - Katy Perry apparently explaining her new album cover

Meanwhile I didn't use the actual album art for the album picture here (or a mockup of it at least) because I noticed she has a habit of making her song videos just literally GIFs until the "real" video. In one of them her head was spinning around so I just wanted to mess with that. This is literally the only joke I wanted to make about the album anyway so... yeah.

50 Previous Shades Of Something: The Book: The Movie

Well I reviewed the second one so why not go back to the first one. After all, it's 6/9. Unless you're in Europe or something in which case just read this in September I guess. Or in another time zone because this went up kinda late in the day after all.

Fifty Shades Of Edgier: The Book: The Movie: The Soundtrack: The Porn Parody

Why am I reviewing this? Because I wanted to review a soundtrack from a movie I don't plan to see. And what better than them trying to keep this whole WOW HE IS WHIPPING HER BUTT WHILE THEY SIGN CONTRACTS thing rolling, I guess.

Super Bowl LI/51 Commercial Reviews

Because why not. I did this before, might as well see what passes for advertising these days. Again. Even though I've been more exposed to TV now recently than I have been the whole time I was in college. Again, I'll post them alphabetically in the post because I'm never sure of the true order of things anyway.

1986 Year End List Review Thing: 80s Songs Or Something (2/2)

All right, finishing up this list then.

1986 Year End List Review Thing: 80s Songs Or Something (1/2)

Well, here we go again, this time looking at a list from the 80s. There's gonna be a lot of synthesizers.
