2026 - 92 The Super Mario Galaxy Movie I think it’s a step up from the first with really fun setpieces and a story that feels less like throwing shit at a wall. The script, however, is still god awful even for a family friendly movie; hell, I think the script here might be *worse* than the first

2026 - 91 Obsession Of the two big YouTuber-directed horror movies released recently, I think I prefer this one. Probs cause it’s more straightforward lmao but also I’m a sucker for a good monkey’s paw story and I LOVED Inde Navarrette’s performance here

2026 - 90 The Backrooms this is why you don’t ask workers to go check the back smh Really solid directional debut. Absolutely nails the vibe and has some phenomenal found footage moments, although I found the plot and script a little lacking at times

2026 - 89 The Boys (Season 3) A little less exciting in the moment compared to the past two seasons. Quite a few bits and monologues feel a little forced and contrived too. Still enjoying it but I do see where the criticism against the writing comes from

2026 - 88 UNBEATABLE The general consensus seems to be that people adore it while acknowledging it being messy and uneven. I like it, but I found its issues a little too hard to deal with, deflating gameplay segments and taking me out of the story

2026 - 87 The Boys (Season 2) Enjoyed this one a bit more than the last for a few reasons but I won’t be coy about it, it’s largely because a Nazi gets her shit kicked in lol

2026 - 86 The Boys (Season 1) Rewatching the first three seasons to catch up to the fourth and fifth which I haven’t seen. Still fun as heck though it doesn’t have the same bite that it did in 2019, but that is certainly no fault of its own, our world just sucks lmao

2026 - 85 Kvark It’s less Half-Life and more boomer shooter with Half-Life bits and that’s fine by me. Nothing crazy, but a tight, solid little shooter all-round, and something you can knock out in a weekend

2026 - 84 HELLBREAK Earlier this year I played Bloodlust, a good arena shooter with mid roguelite aspects. I grabbed this as it looked similar (they’re even bundled together on Steam), but its the opposite - it’s a mid arena shooter with good roguelite aspects

2026 - 83 Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning A bit clunky at the start and ultimately a little too long, but a very good sendoff overall, brilliantly capping off a damn good action series. So rare for a series this long to hit its stride halfway through and keep it up til the very end

2026 - 82 Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (PS2) Mostly pretty great, with a more enjoyable overarching story than IV (even if the fan translation is a bit hit or miss). There are a few things I wish were better developed but I still had a dang ol’ time

2026 - 81 Redout: Enhanced Edition Abandoned. The search for an AG racing game I actually like continues

2026 - 80 Speed Racer (2008) utterly insane movie. goofy as shit but also unexpectedly sincere and unflinchingly true to its vision. It’s been two days since I saw this and I already kinda wanna watch it again

2026 - 79 PokéPark Wii: Pikachu’s Adventure I don’t think this is a particularly good game. It’s repetitive, the minigames are basic as shit, the story is nonsense and the controls can be funky but I was also weirdly captivated by it?

2026 - 78 Pokémon Rumble has a lot of chunk if you’re willing to deal with The Most Repetitive And Shallow Game Ever. It’s kinda fun for the first hour or so but falls off pretty fast

2026 - 77 Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One Big fan, same as the last few, but also it’s kinda funny how - assuming it’s the same in the last one - out of 8 movies Ethan Hunt spends only one of them *not* running from his own damn agency lmao

2026 - 76 Mission: Impossible - Fallout this is the action film of all time. phenomenal. what the fuck how does a sixth entry in a series do that

2026 - 75 DIRT 5 I like it enough to get all the achievements but I dunno if I’d recommend it to most people. It’s fun but it’s also kinda nothing

2026 - 74 Pokémon FireRed Version Anyone else find FRLG kinda dull? As a Pokémon game it’s plenty fine enough but I can’t find it in me to give it any more than a shrug. “Shrug” perfectly encapsulates how I feel after beating it

2026 - 73 Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation I still like the Fast & Furious movies, but as I watch Mission: Impossible I’m starting to realise that Fast & Furious is just bad Mission: Impossible lmao Just as good as the last. This series fuckin whips so far

2026 - 72 Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Am I silly for saying this is one of the best action movies I’ve seen in a good while? Oh, it’s by the director from The Incredibles and The Iron Giant? No I don’t think I’m silly at all then

2026 - 71 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales I don’t understand the seemingly universal hatred towards this and On Stranger Tides but I do understand some of the criticism. As for me, I thought it was pretty decent in a vacuum, but it’s not a particularly unique movie -

2026 - 70 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides A considerable step down, but still fun. My main criticisms are that they wasted Blackbeard a bit and the plot with the guy and the mermaid is whatever, but it still has a lot of what makes PotC enjoyable to me

2026 - 69 Napoleon Dynamite Hated this as a kid, so I rewatched it with a fresh perspective and I think I actually hate it *more.* Like, bottom 5 RemyRaccoon Movies of All Time, even. Miserable, irritating movie with a nearly non-existent premise. Like what if a Wes Anderson movie was dogshit

2026 - 68 Chop Goblins Neat way to kill an hour while also being a deep commentary on the depraved state of the average American - weird fucked up goblins brandishing weapons and constantly asking for cheese

2026 - 67 Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End The worst of the three, but not by a terrible lot. The conclusion kicks all sorts of ass but the way there is a little bloated and convoluted, and with bits like Davy Jones’ locker feeling like wasted potential Still. What a trilogy, dude

2026 - 66 Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS) Even if it doesn’t always stick the landing, this does some really cool stuff that’s easy to appreciate as an early RPG while also not feeling all that dated. Had a very good time with this one

2026 - 65 Swapped Good animation and a great soundtrack do not save the average writing, poor voice direction and lame humour. Also, not to sound like a broken record, but WHERE is the BODY SWAP

2026 - 64 Gravel Good-ass offroad arcade racer with some great tracks, a relatively inspired car roster, and a career mode that doesn’t outstay its welcome. It’s a very simple game with almost no customisation, which honestly makes it kinda refreshing

2026 - 63 Rhythm Heaven Fever this game is so full of little guys ~w~

2026 - 62 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Yet another example of why Rotten Tomatoes is antiquated. 53%?!?! What is wrong with movie critics lmao?? Where is their joy and whimsy??

2026 - 61 V-Rally 4 Bounced off it pretty hard. It’s interesting at first but I think its multi-discipline format makes it spread itself too thin, and the handling can be annoyingly floaty, especially in non-rally disciplines.

2026 - 60 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl visually one of the best movies I’ve ever seen I think?? But it’s also just flat out fun from start to finish. Not a single minute wasted in its (slightly long) runtime. God I’m so upset it took me this long to watch it

2026 - 59 Mission: Impossible III A step-up over both previous movies I reckon. I thought the stuff with his wife was really sweet! Kinda flip-flopped on Philip Seymour Hoffman’s weird, almost bored-ass performance but I even came around on that by the end

2026 - 58 LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Wii) Thought I’d hate it after not playing for years and remembering how simple it is. I was (partially) proven wrong

2026 - 57 Mission: Impossible II Meh, but if this is supposedly the worst in the series then MI fans are eating good honestly. Also very novel seeing locations I’ve been to IRL as well as late 90’s Ford Falcons being blown up

2026 - 56 M&M’s Kart Racing (Wii) Kinda not as bad as I expected from its reputation. It is instead something far worse than bad - it’s boring

2026 - 55 Gummy Bears: Magical Medallion I have next to nothing to say about this. Even for young kids this has gotta be the most boring shit ever Hella easy RetroAchievements mastery though

2026 - 54 Mission: Impossible (1996) kinda like how reserved it is, particularly the famous lowering from the ceiling scene which ended up being really tense with the slow pacing and lack of music. not what I was expecting, a bit convoluted, but ultimately pretty fun!

2026 - 53 Pokémon Colosseum dogshit game

2026 - 52 Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (Wii) On 360 this would be a tail wag. On Wii it’s a little bit miserable, especially with whatever issues Dolphin has with it, but I still love this game a lot. Best setlist in the business

2026 - 51 Cave Story (WiiWare) wow this is way shorter than I remember it being. hell yeah though honestly

2026 - 50 Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire yeah I’m just not a pinball guy I guess lmao

2026 - 49 Call of Duty: Black Ops (Wii) A pretty impressive little port! I don’t really care much for the game itself, it’s not my thing, but (aside from RetroAchievements of course) I was motivated to keep playing to see just how much they could squeeze out of the Wii

2026 - 48 Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Gave this a shrug when I saw it years ago so it getting a thumbs up now is attributed to the Fast & Furious movies dumbing my brain down by at least 50 IQ either that or I’m less mean with movies now. I dunno man this one’s fun

2026 - 47 Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary I love Brawl. I do not love when Brawl makes you do platforming, has you deal with multiple enemies that attack on sight at once, and makes you watch cutscenes that are just hype moments and aura farming

2026 - 46 Andor (season 2) Interesting decision to have every three episodes take place a year apart and I think it mostly pays off. It left me wishing we could spend a bit more time with certain characters, but is nonetheless a damn good send-off to one of the best Star Wars things ever made

2026 - 45 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: 1st Edition (Wii) This sure is a shovelware quiz game pooped out during the Wii’s launch year Like you don’t even get 3D character models or anything. This is a low-tier browser game sold on store shelves lmao

2026 - 44 WRC 6: FIA World Rally Championship I gave WRC 5 a shrug and this is more of the same but I enjoyed this more and I’m not sure if this one is any better or I just played 5 at a bad time That said, it’s pretty decent but very barebones

2026 - 43 The Transporter (2002) After watching all the Fast & Furious movies recently I forgot what a nice, short, snappy movie felt like This is fun! Jason Statham’s weird-ass accent is laughable but he makes up for it with a strangely incredible oiled-up fight scene
