Masters of the Universe (2026) I cannot believe this was actually good. That first trailer was so godawful it should be studied for future purposes on how to NOT make a movie trailer. And before you ask, yeah, even Jared Leto is somehow good in this. I'm just in awe.

A good Masters of the Universe movie. That's what it is and I cannot believe it actually happened.

The Princess Bride (1987) A rewatch with friends, some who had seen it and some who hadn't. What more can I say on the matter? It's The Princess Bride, my dude.

Theatrical poster for the 1987 movie, The Princess Bride.

Are you still here? Come on, everyone's seen this movie. And if you haven't? Go watch it. Seriously, so much of so called 'film discourse' could be done away with if more people watched this movie.

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great. #FilmSky The Nice Guys was such a great movie, I still can't believe it didn't do that well. The acting and writing were some of the best I've seen.

The Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Mœbius (1981 - 1988) Despite having seen plenty of similar plots and characters in similar stories, it felt like seeing them for the very first time. I just can't describe it. Read it if you haven't.

Read it. Just go read it.

Granblue Fantasy Relink (2024) I cannot believe the second best Monster Hunter game on Steam is a Granblue Fantasy game. Just absolutely in awe.

Promotional artwork for the game Granblue Fantasy Relink.

The game follows the crew of the Grandcypher as they wind up in the Zegagrande Skydom and have to deal with the Church of Avia.

It's usually one of these four. And I'm currently going through one of them to make a guide for some friends.

Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons by Frank Tieri and Inaki Miranda (June 2023 - Nov 2023) Very good five issue mini-series about Francis Drake having a run-in with the King of the Monsters.

Cover to issue five of Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons by Frank Tieri and Inaki Miranda.

This mini-series is a story within a story told by a fictional pirate named Henry Hull who once worked under Francis Drake. He tells the story of how Drake, he, and the rest of the Golden Hind's crew found their way to Monster Island on orders from the Queen.

Dancouga Nova – Super God Beast Armor (Feb 2007 - May 2007) Unlike other Mecha anime, this one just sucks.

Official art for the anime Dancouga Nova – Super God Beast Armor.

Bruh, I ain't summarizing this one. It sucks. Go watch something else in this list.

AKIRA by Katsuhiro Otomo (Dec 1982 - June 1990) "Akira still lives among us!" Having fully read it I can see why its so beloved and a classic as a work of science fiction. I now dread debating whether to watch the movie or not.

Art for the sixth and final volume of the manga AKIRA by Katsuhiro Otomo.

The manga takes place in Neo-Tokyo in the 2030s, thirty years after a mysterious explosion leveled the original Tokyo. Bikers Kaneda and Tetsuo stumble upon a secret Government project involving psychic powers after a night of driving with their fellow motorcyclists.

Assassination Classroom by Yusei Matsui (July 2012 - March 2016) Matsui you beautiful bastard, you did it again. It's a short read of 180 chapters (with some bonus ones) spread across 21 volumes. I do encourage reading it.

Covert art for the twenty-first and final volume of Assassination Classroom by Yusei Matsui.

The manga follows Class 3-E of Kunugigaoka Junior High who are tasked with trying to assassinate their new monstrous yellow octopus looking Homeroom Teacher who plans on blowing up the Earth in March if they can't kill him before then. It all makes sense in context, I promise.

.hack//SIGN (April 2002 - Sept 2003) After years of having only seen bits and knowing the synopsis, I finally sat down and watched the whole anime. Can't remember the last time I felt warm and fuzzy inside at the end of an anime.

DVD Boxart for .hack//SIGN featuring Tsukasa (bottom right), Subaru (left), and Aura (top right).

The anime centers around Tsukasa, a player in the MMORPG The World finding himself unable to log out of the game and having no memory of how it happened.

Devil May Cry 5 (2019) Felt good giving this another play through years later on my PC after having multiple upgrades between when it came out and now. Still might be my favorite game in the series despite Trish not being playable.

Covert art for the game Devil May Cry 5.

Dante finds himself being hired by a mysterious man named V warning him about an all powerful demon named Urizen about to appear. While this happens, Nero is attacked by a cloaked man who robs him of his Demon Arm and vanished without a trace.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge (Feb 2016 - May 2020) The nicest thing I can say about this manga is I feel better about my own writing after having read it. I guess it was a short enough read to see what the big deal was, but there just nothing here.

Cover art for the twenty-second volume of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge. This cover features the main antagonist Muzan during the final battle with him.

The story centers around Kamada Tanjiro who becomes a Demon Slayer after his family has been slaughtered by a demon named Muzan while his younger sister Nezuko was also turned into a demon.

Super Mario Galaxy (2025) You know, for a movie calling itself Super Mario Galaxy, it didn't FEEL like a Super Mario Galaxy movie after the first fifteen minutes. Real impressive considering all the planets visited. Should have been a Sunshine movie instead if you ask me.

Movie poster for Super Mario Galaxy.

Some time after the initial movie, Bowser Jr. has caught wind of his father's defeat and imprisonment and has opted to spring into action to free him. Part of this plan involves abducting Princess Rosalina to use her as power source for a universe destroying cannon. Suffice to say, Princess Peach and the Mario Brothers get involved.

Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto (Dec 2018 - March 2026) Can't believe the ride's really over. Was certainly something else that's for sure. Looking forward to whatever Fujimoto comes up with next but for now, I can just feel content with the ending.

Art for the twenty-third volume of Chainsaw Man depicting the titular character surrounded by entrails.

Chainsaw Man follows a boy named Denji in a world plagued by Devils with his odd dog Pochita. Instead of dying in a horrid situation, Pochita merges with Denji to become a Man and Devil fusion known as Chainsaw Man.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger (October 2025) Easily the best Digimon Story game on the market as of this moment. I'm so glad it survived the Development Hell it was forced into and hopefully that won't happen with the next game Bamco gives us.

Key visual for Digimon Story: Time Stranger featuring the two playable characters (Yuki Dan / Yuki Kanan), Misono Inori, Aegiomon, and the three selectable Starter Digimon; DemiDevimon, Gomamon, and Patamon.

This game follows the player as they attempt to stop a disaster called the Shinjuku Inferno from occurring.

Titan A.E. (June 2000) Pretty cool movie that made me realize I need to see more of Don Bluth's works.

Movie poster for the animated film Titan A.E. It depicts two of the main characters shadowed out in the middle of a laser fight.

The movie follows Cale Tucker, the son of a professor behind the Titan Project that made an alien race known as the Drej attack and destroy Earth scattering humanity to the stars. Fifteen years later, Cale is informed of the legacy of his father just as the Drej have found him.

Also apologies about the quality of this image, best one I could find.

Came the Mirror & Other Tales by Rumiko Takahashi (Feb 2022) Nice collection of short stories/one-shots. Would recommend.

Digimon Liberator (The Webcomic) (April 2024 - March 2026) This was a pretty enjoyable read. I do wish reading this made me better at playing the TCG, but alas. At the very least, I hope this gets Bamco to consider more Digimon manga in the near future.

Key visual for Digimon Liberator featuring the main cast and the Mega/Ultimate/Lv. 6/Whatever forms of their Partner Mons.

Liberator follows the adventures of Shoto Kazami and Arisa Kinosaki as they join an online game centered around the Digimon TCG and wind up joining the online game's Debugging Team as mysterious events begin to occur.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (May 2005) On one hand, it was nice to finally sit down and go through a GBA era FE game. On the other hand, it's got some very annoying quirks and design decisions that I feel bring it down. Worth a playthrough though.

John Wick (2014) Damn good movie. Wish I saw it years ago, but better than never, right?

Movie poster for the 2014 film John Wick. This movie follows John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves) who has his dog killed and car stolen while overcoming the grief from the passing of his wife. Unfortunately for everyone involved in the auto theft and dog killing, Mr. Wick is a former hit man who is very good at what he used to do.

Yeah, that checks. Wonder how it got so tied with Ghost though?

You got the Psychic Type!

The type of the odd, the abnormal, and the strange. Despite the name, the psychic type is not explicitly supernatural. Many of these Pokémon are just incredibly intelligent or empathetic, capable of using their brain to its greatest potential. Of course, I’m the Pokémon world, greater access to the brain is a sure path to Psychic power. These Pokémon highly emphasize their special stats, being a tad more lackluster on the physical side. Yet these Pokémon make up for it with the wide span of moves that their intelligence allows them to understand and use.

With such odd versatility, these Pokémon are usually found in places just as mysterious as them, specific patches of grass with seemingly no meaning, odd sites of historical events, or somewhere that just doesn’t make any sense! Psychic types are intelligent and capable of strategy, and to be frank, using Psychic types without a strategy is something I hate to see, and you should too. Psychic types wide movesets allow incredible depths of strategies that other types are just not as capable with.

If you got this Type, you may be just like these Pokémon, full of empathy and intelligence, and a love for the things in the world that seem strange. Maybe you love the paranormal, or maybe a good puzzle, game, or strategy. If, somehow, you’ve never used a psychic type... oh please, you already know what I’m going to say, don’t you? Go on, give one a try.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Visions of Four Heroes (Jan 2026) One of the best DLCs to come out of Koei Tecmo in recent history. Had some annoying quirks to it, but nothing detrimental. Also had some of the better story telling in the series, which isn't a lot but it was surprising.
