119. Stardust - Danny Brown (2025)

A hyper-pop flurry of crazy tracks that keep you engaged through the 49 minute run time. Features all do a great job, Danny does typical Danny stuff, and the production is sick. Only critique is Danny's repetitive flow throughout. [8.5/10]

118. Connla's Well - Maruja (2024)

I love this band, so excited to see them on Wednesday! [9/10]

ARC Raiders might be my contender for game of the year, which is surprising considering Donkey Kong Bananza and Split Fiction are very hot contenders for me. This game just has something special to it.

117. HEELS HAVE EYES 3 - Westside Gunn (2025)

I don't know how this man is so consistently good, even when he's releasing a super short project following on from the album he only dropped a few months ago. [7/10]

116. Luigi's Mansion (2001)

In contention with being the best in the series. I did not expect to just sit down and collect every Boo and finish the game in 1 sitting. Still only ended up with a B rank though wtf. [9/10]

NEW VIDEO ALERT!

Silent Hill f is the first actually new game in the franchise in 13 years. It took me on a journey. I invite you to take that journey with me

115. Ghostrunner (2020)

A fun, adrenaline filled gorefest that has a pumping soundtrack, great combat, and some captivating visuals. Nothing too crazy, but worth your time for sure! [7.5/10]

Ethereal Connection is one of my favourite songs to come out this year. Pure Aphex Twin vibes with Tame Impala vocals combined into one.

not many feelings better than finishing a long script you're happy with

114. The Boy Who Played The Harp - Dave (2025)

I've given this 2 full listens so far, and all I can say is whilst it's still brilliant, it's easily his weakest album. Lyrically, he might be at his very best; but the songs don't stick with you the same way. Not terrible, not outstanding. [7/10]

113. NaissanceE (2014)

A game that uses its music and scale to creep into your mind and toy with your anxiety. An artistic triumph of an experience that whilst lacking in structure at certain points, feels like an expansive, futuristic nightmare that suffocates you until the end. [8.5/10]

112. bbno$ - bbno$ (2025)

More of a playlist than an album, but certainly one which is enjoyable from start to finish. The production on almost every song is fantastic, and its perfectly enjoyable non-serious music you can just vibe to. [7/10]

111. Deadbeat - Tame Impala (2025)

If Aphex Twin and Daft Punk had an Australian baby. A stripped down project compared to his previous, but one which feels amazing on the ears. Full of bops, sombre moments, and the song 'Ethereal Connection'. On first listen, my now 2nd favourite of his. [9/10]

110. Lonerism - Tame Impala (2012)

Sucks to admit but I wasn't as crazy about this album as his others. Much of it felt like a 70's album brought to the modern era, which in many respects is cool, it's just not my thing. Still great vocals and production, but nothing outstanding. [6.5/10]

109. Innerspeaker - Tame Impala (2010)

A fantastic early showcase of what Tame Impala has now become. It doesn't hold the same personality as his later work, but for a debut album its something special. [8/10]

108. One Battle After Another (2025)

A movie that feels like what cinema was made for. The music as well omfg. [9/10]

107. Super Mario Galaxy 2 [Port] (2025)

This has always been my favourite Mario game since I can remember, and this port has made me appreciate it even more with its small new (star)bits of content and better graphics. Perfection that after a 200% playthrough, I just want to play again. [10/10]

The Games We Forget Along The Way - Out 6PM BST

Just wrapped up the 100% playthrough of Galaxy 2 for the switch and man is it close to perfect. Nintendo managed to make an already amazing game just that tiny bit better. I cannot wait to 200% this shit!

who tf is this little shit

no yeah it's fine. sora 2 is fine. i actually love the fact that people can create virtually anything now in believable detail by typing in words. this is going to be great, especially without any regulations in place. this is exactly the world i hoped for when i was young and wanted to make art.

106. Y'all - glaive (2025)

I hate to say this cause I think glaive has talent, but this and his previous album just don't have the same feeling as his earlier work. There's some great ideas on display here, but they aren't enough to keep me interested. [4/10]

hot take, but Super Mario Galaxy is a 10/10

YouTube video by Darkfry How (Not) To Do Edgy Comedy

NEW VIDEO! REPOSTS APPRECIATED! Is it still possible to be Edgy and Funny at the same time? Is Edgy Comedy dead? From South Park, to WKUK, to Dave Chappelle, this is How (Not) To Do Edgy Comedy youtu.be/DWk7TroogQw

my media thread doesn't include certain games because they just feel more like flash games rather than actual new experiences. i'm also ashamed to put the entire 'cats hidden' series on my blusky profile.

105. Easy Delivery Co. (2025)

Silent hill atmosphere meets animal crossing style characters meets arcade delivery simulator. Whilst I think the game suffers slightly from having to grind towards the end, it makes up for it purely on vibes. [9/10]

104. skate. (2025)

There's so much to hate about this game, and honestly I don't blame everyone for thinking its bad, but it might be the most addictive skating experience I've ever had. 30 hours in less than a week says a lot about the gameplay. It has a lot of potential. [8/10]

103. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (1992)

An innovative kaleidoscope of noises that all come together to make an album that can't be categorised into a single theme, yet I loved it from start to finish. One of the best instrumental albums to date. [9/10]
