Game 21 of 2025: METROID: ZERO MISSION

Missed a bunch of stuff by stumbling into the final boss fight and somehow winning, but anyway, this is the best Metroid game. It has everything you want in a Metroid game and no impossible wall jump.

That twist in the new Welcome to Derry is FUCKING STUPID.

Game 20 of 2025: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER

Still such a great game. Best atmosphere in the series. The best combat. It feels so smooth. That easy, flashy parry, cutting knights armor off from behind feels so good. I would love a proper sequel.

Movie 121 of 2025: APT PUPIL

Having just watched a six hour Hitler doc, I felt it was appropriate to revisit this Bryan Singer classic (and watched in the context of what we now know about him it is a rich text). This is like a top 5 underrated Stephen King adaptation for me.

I’m near the end of Wind Waker right now, and I keep thinking yeah, maybe this is the best. It easily has the best atmosphere and imo best combat.

GOOD. BETTER. BEST.

Slowly coming to accept that the Bears are actually good.

Ha ha Eagles fans are PISSED

Officially becoming an old man and watching HITLER AND THE NAZIS: EVIL ON TRIAL on Netflix.

I’m sorry, what?

Excellent mini-series! Alert to fellow politics nerds!

Washes, Jesus Christ!

WELCOME TO DERRY is maybe the most okay show of the year. I haven’t once got to the end of an episode and said that was great, or I’m dying to see the next episode. It just washed over you. More Derry.

Movie 120 of 2025: TRAIN DREAMS

I’m just a sucker for this type of movie, from HERE to THE TREE OF LIFE. And this even has a little bit of THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD thrown in. Loved it!

Movie 119 of 2025: GOOD BOY

Indy is the best boy, but I can’t say the same for the human actor or the movie in general. Worth it as a novelty and if you’re a dog lover.

There are AI videos now of AOC looking super hot and dancing, and I am super against them. 😉

New Pluribus was awesome.

Yeah I’m playing it on the GameCube app. It’s been awhile but I imagine Wii U version irons out a lot of the dated things.

Wind Waker remains so good despite showing its age, especially with regard to its funky ass controls. It’s a game you can kinda see the seams of now, but it retains its magic.

One thing I noticed that I didn’t really the first 800 times because Ledger is such a force of nature is that TDK has an insane amount of plot.

Movie 118 of 2025: THE DARK KNIGHT

It cannot be stressed enough how much I love the last two minutes of this movie. Also, it should be noted, the ferry with Gotham citizens did vote to blow up the other boat.

They will slow you down. You can’t carry multiples into a building at the same time. But main thing pissing me off is I have a pulled muscle in my back since August and this shit ain’t helping. Also we used to get help during the holidays, back when we were properly staffed.

They do give you spikes that you can put on over your shoes. They also give you shit every single day for not being able to complete routes that they made too long in 8 hours.

I have a question/theory about the end of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, and I hope it’s okay to spoil a movie from 2005. My theory is that Gyllenhaal died exactly how his wife said, and the glimpses we see of him being killed is Ledger’s imagination.

A couple weeks ago, Amazon decided all their heavy packages, they’re not delivering. We’re delivering. Boxes of printer paper, printers, furniture, cat litter, fucking dog food. Every day is hell at the post office.

Once you’re finally out on the ocean in Wind Waker, that’s the good stuff right there.

Movie 117 of 2025: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

First time watch for me, because in Bush’s America, this was the gay cowboy movie. Didn’t hit me as hard as some of my favorite doomed romances (Bridges of Madison County, Portrait of a Lady on Fire), but Ledger is incredible in it.

Used to have ambition smh
