Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 10. F1 (2025)# ~11. Inception (2010) 12. School of Rock (2003)* Did not really get into the film's plot which made it hard to enjoy even though it had a great supporting soundtrack. The ending was controversial but didn't matter to me.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 8. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC) ~9. Tyrian (PC) 10. Gris (PC) A complete Shmup that has multiple levels and acts to go through with intense boss fights. The game has tons of upgrades to make the playing experience unique on every playthrough.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 6. Kaze and the Wild Masks (XSX) ~7. Mega Man X (SNES) 8. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC)* I really liked the additions to the X series and the bosses and sub weapons were great throughout the game and led to an intense final few stages to try and beat.

It’s trivia night tonight, friends! Our good pal @nyvgf.bsky.social has once again put together a masterful 3 boards for Jeopardy! and arranged for some new ✨mystery✨ contestants, so see you at 8pm ET for my inevitable rage-causing lack of knowing obvious answers. 😁

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 8. Gris (PC) ~9. Battle for Bikini Bottom (GCN) 10. A Hat in Time (PC) Really nostalgic and similar to SpongeBob episodes makes this game fairly enjoyable through all the different levels that touch upon various areas shown in the show.

Ranking of Albums listened to in 2025 2. Protest the Hero - Fortress (2008)* 3. Twenty One Pilots - Breach (2025) 4. TOP - Blurryface (2015)* Favourite Tracks: City Walls, Garbage, The Contract, Downstairs, Robot Voices, Center Mass, One Way, Days Lie Dormant, Tally

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 3. Empire Records (1995) ~4. Caught Stealing (2025)# 5. Superman (2025)# Filled with 90s NYC nostalgia made this have a little extra for me, the comedy breaks up the serious incredibly well to give a change of pace without lessening anything.

tonight we’re back with this month’s Jeopardy, lovingly put together by our very own @NYVGF. The catch? I never know who I’m playing against. See you at 8 PM!

Ranking of Albums listened to in 2025 2. PtH - Fortress (2008)* ~3. Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface (2015)* 4. P!atD - A Fever You Can't (2005) Favourite Tracks: Heavydirtysoul, Ride, Fairly Local, Tear in My Heart, Lane Boy, The Judge, We Don't Believe What's on TV, Hometown

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 9. A Hat Time (PC) ~10. Donkey Kong Country (SNES) 11. Hunie Pop 2 (PC) A great platformer that really knew a perfect balance of challenge & skill with a great dynamic of Diddy and Donkey playing differently to change how you take on levels.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 1. Major League (1989)* ~2. Weapons (2025)# 3. Empire Records (1995) A unique take on a Thriller/Horror film really grabbed my attention and kept it throughout with the use of different POV chapters to tell the story all leading to the finale.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 4. Clerk (2021) ~5. The Naked Gun (2025)# 6. Inglourious Basterds (2009)* This reimagining of the original movies knew exactly what to do to bring Naked Gun to a modern audience with a great casting in Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson to take over.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 1. Balatro (PC) ~2. Celeste (PC) 3. Hades (PC) An incredible platformer that shares a great message to the player while going through increasingly tough levels that have great aesthetic and moving mechanics for an all time game.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 17. Pokemon Crystal (GBC) ~18. Gylt (PS4) 19. A Short Hike (PC) There wasn't really a lot to do in this game that felt rewarding as it went on. An easily forgettable semi stealth experience with a story that was just okay in the end.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 2. Empire Records (1995) ~3. Superman (2025)# 4. Clerk (2021) A great Superhero movie with plenty of good action scenes and a pacing that works very well. Loved that they didn't have an origin story bloat the start and just went right into it.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 5. Palm Springs (2020) ~6. F1 (2025)# 7. School of Rock (2003)* With rock bottom expectations comes an okay racing movie that is not super realistic and has a love subplot that is completely unnecessary but it's fun to see F1 get the spotlight.

Ranking of Albums listened to in 2025 ~1. BtBaM - Coma Eclipic (2015)* 2. PtH - Fortress (2008)* 3. P!atD - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005) Favourite Tracks: Coma Machine. Famine Wolf, King Redeem/Queen Serene, Turn on the Darkness, Ectopic Stroll, Rapid Calm, Memory Palace

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 6. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC)* ~7. Gris (PC) 8. A Hat in Time (PC) An absolutely stunning game to play with a serene soundtrack and puzzles that are appropriately difficult using different power ups do not get repetitive or annoying.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 4. THPS 4 (PS2) ~5. Kaze and the Wild Masks (XSX) 6. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC)* A great nod to the DKC games with tight platforming and fun mask mechanics to change up levels. Collecting all items in the game also felt fun instead of a hassle.

Ranking of Albums listened to in 2025 2. P!atD - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005) 3. Between the Buried and Me - Alaska (2005)* 4. Avicii - True (2013) Favourite Tracks: All Bodies, Selkies, Roboturner, Backwards Marathon, Medicine Wheel, The Primer, Laser Speed

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 4. THPS4 (PS2) ~5. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC)* 6. A Hat in Time (PC) L4D2 simply takes all that was done well in the first game and adds more and improves the AI Director based on player performance. New melee weapons also add an extra way to play.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 5. A Hat in Time (PC) ~6. Left 4 Dead (PC)* 7. Hunie Pop 2 (PC) The gold standard of zombie games when it came out is still super fun with the AI Director making each experience unique. Gameplay is fluid and fun while being a good challenge.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 4. Inglourious Basterds (2009)* ~5. Palm Springs (2020) 6. School of Rock (2003)* A modern day Groundhog Day that has better story telling and more humorous moments. The ending could have been better and felt like a boring cop out to me.

Ranking of Albums listened to in 2025 ~1. Protest the Hero - Fortress (2008)* 2. P!atD - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005) 3. Avicii - True (2013) Favourite Tracks: Bloodmeat, Bone Marrow, Sequoia Throne, Palms Red, Limb from Limb, Wretch

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 12. Ape Escape (PS1) ~13. Pokemon Crystal (GBC) 14. A Short Hike (PC) It felt as if the game was too long and I didn't really enjoy going through to get all 16 badges as well as the new content being quite boring and not worth it.

It’s my last stream before vacation! And tonight we’re playing this month’s Mystery Smarty Showdown (aka Jeopardy!) as prepared by the lovely @nyvgf.bsky.social I never have any idea who I’m playing against, so I’m just as excited as y’all are. 😁 See y’all at 8PM for the trivia madness.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 11. Kirby 64 (N64) 12. Ape Escape (PS1) ~13. A Short Hike (PC) While the game itself is cute and chill it presents no challenge and that doesn't really do it for me and it led to me not being very interested when I was trying to beat it.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 10. Link to the Past (SNES) ~11. Kirby 64 (N64) 12. Ape Escape (PS1) The enemies and platforming leave a lot to be desired but the combination system for powers is a great addition to having Kirby attack in different ways.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 8. Super Mario Land 2 (GB) ~9. Stardew Valley (PC) 10. Link to the Past (SNES) Lots to do in this and it can be played in so many different ways that it can feel overwhelming but overall an enjoyable time getting the community center built.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 6. Hunie Pop 2 (PC) ~7. Wario Land (GB) 8. Super Mario Land 2 (GB) I really enjoyed the level design with how certain levels changed after beating them as well as finding treasures and the power ups being different from a typical Mario game.

Ranking of Albums listened to in 2025 1. Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005) ~2. Avicii - True (2013) Favourite Tracks: Wake Me Up, Hey Brother, Addicted To You, Liar Liar, Lay Me Down, Heart Upon My Sleeve

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 5. School of Rock (2003)* ~6. Ready to Rumble (2000)* 7. Snowpiercer (2013) A nostalgia trip for me where most of the plot and characters are not good but with so many WCW cameos it brings me back to when I used to watch wrestling all the time.

This week is COLLAB WEEK! #StrongerTogether 🩵🖤 Tonight: Jeopardy ft. NYVGF and mystery friends! ❓💸 Tuesday: Fortnite ft. SilverAx 🔫🕺🏿 Thursday: Painscreek Killings ft. @wolfsamurai 📝🔎 Friday: BeerioKart IRL ft. Joltali, WhalePlaysGames and The Gorey Details 🏎️💨

tonight at 8:30 PM, I’ll be streaming something completely different! I gotta prepare for my new gig, you see, as I’m gonna be bartending on trivia nights. now, I am a prolific trivia player but it’s been a while. Luckily, I’ve been invited to Jeopardy.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 5. School of Rock (2003)* ~6. Snowpiercer (2013) 7. Into the Wild (2007) The characters are forgettable, this thriller's plot never really hit and fell flat throughout the entire film with an ending that was lackluster and didn't pay off.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 7. Super Mario Land 2 (GB) ~8. Zelda: Link to the Past (SNES) 9. Ape Escape (PS1) Uses the dark world mechanics to double the size of the map and present new challenges. Bosses fit using the newly acquired weapons and gadgets well.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 5. A Hat in Time (PC) ~6. Super Mario Land 2 (GB) 7. Ape Escape (PS1) Not bad for a Game Boy Mario game with a fun final boss. The carrot power up can make some levels really broken by skipping over large portions to get towards the end goal.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 3. Inglourious Basterds (2009)* ~4. School of Rock (2003)* 5. Into the Wild (2007) After not having seen this movie for years I can say the best part of it is the soundtrack with tons of classic rock holding up the rest of this mediocre film.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 4. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PS2) 5. A Hat in Time (PC) ~6. Ape Escape (PS1) The PS1 jank is real with this but overall it was a pretty fun time going through the levels and exploring to find all the Apes while using the unlockable gadgets.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 ~1. Major League (1989)* 2. Empire Records (1995) 3. Clerk (2021) One of my favourite baseball movies of all time because of how well the comedy is done throughout. I love Bob Uecker's character and the rest of the cast does such great work.

Ranking of Albums listened to in 2025 ~1. Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005) Favourite Tracks: The Only Difference, London Beckoned, Camisado, Time to Dance, Lying Is the Most Fun, But It's Better If You Do, I Write Sins, There's a Good Reason, Build God

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 1. Balatro (PC) ~2. Hades (PC) 3. Brotato (PC) The combat flows beautifully no matter which weapon you use, boons add extra story while powering you up and the main story keeps you coming back for more and the heat system is great.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 ~1. Balatro (PC) 2. Brotato (PC) 3. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PS2) Having beaten this with 5+ decks I can clearly say that with still so much more to do this has been addictive in all the right ways and makes me want to keep playing it.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 1. Brotato (PC) 2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PS2) ~3. A Hat in Time (PC) An enjoyable experience with varied level designs that keep the game interesting. I enjoyed switching hats to expand mechanics on levels and having that open up levels.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 2. Clerk (2021) 3. Inglourious Basterds (2009)* ~ 4. Into the Wild (2007) It seems to be shot well but the story and life of Christopher McCandless is one that irks me and I don't think this movie does a good job at explaining everything fully.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 ~1. Empire Records (1995) 2. Clerk (2021) 3. Inglourious Basterds (2009)* An absolute classic 90s movie about kids working in a record store that still holds up today which is refreshing. A great soundtrack adds to the movie perfectly as well.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 1. Brotato (PC) ~2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (PS2) The free roaming levels while maintaining a timer for challenges which makes for a great balance between old and new. This game also may have the best soundtrack in the entire series.

Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025 ~1. Brotato (PC) Having beaten this w/ multiple characters I am counting this for the year. It's a great wave shooter where the different characters, items and weapons create multiple ways to build towards success and I plan to keep playing.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 1. Clerk (2021) ~2. Inglourious Basterds (2009)* This has everything I've come to expect from Tarantino with dialogue that's clever to the use of violence as a tool to get the points across but I felt like it was better the first time I saw it.

Ranking of Movies watched in 2025 ~1. Clerk (2021) A wonderfully done documentary on Kevin Smith that goes through all of his works that were done at the time of filming presented in a way that is humorous and informative. Highly recommended for those who are a fan.
