Blog post #200! A quick recap, plus an index of all my postings.





It took me exactly 3 years and 12 days, but I have finally reached 200 blog posts. If you're keeping track at home, that is an average of 1 blog post every 5.4 days. It doesn't seem like I post that much, but apparently I do.

Some interesting stats. My most reviewed video game system is the Sony PlayStation 3 with 30 game reviews. The Sega Genesis is in second place with 18. My least reviewed systems are the Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, and the Dreamcast with just 1 review each. Rest assured, I am working to bring those numbers up. I am currently playing Knights of the Old Republic 2 for the Xbox, so there will be another Xbox review. I am waiting for Sonic Colors to arrive from Gamefly, so there will be another Wii review. I've also been getting a hankering to play Gears of War 2 and Sonic Adventure, so that will take care of the other 2 systems as well.

My most reviewed video game series is a 3 way tie - the Mario series, the Resident Evil series, and the Star Wars series all have 6 games reviewed. I just finished playing Batman: Arkham Knight and I am working on the review. That will be the 6th Batman game I have reviewed. That will make it a 4 way tie. But Star Wars will soon break it with 7 since I am playing Knights of the Old Republic 2, as I already mentioned.

My most viewed blog entry is my recap for the first episode of the TV series 11.22.63 (probably because I posted it on a couple Stephen King fan groups as opposed to just on my own wall). My most viewed video game review is a recent one, Paperboy for Sega Genesis. My least viewed game review? There is a tie. The following game reviews only received 2 views: Super Mario 64, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Puppeteer, Tomb Raider Legend, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Especially sad is the fact that I know 1 of the views is from me as I always look at the finished post to get the link and also to make sure it posted okay. WTF people?

Other than that I have nothing to report. I have attached an index of every post I have made in case anyone is interested in going back and re-reading anything.

EDIT: I stopped updating this index when I hit 200 game reviews. I have a separate index up and running located here: It Begins. I had been updating both indexes every time I make a blog post, and I finally decided to stop updating this one since one index is really all I need.

Movie Rankings

Each year I usually will rank every single movie I watch from least favorite to most favorite. The following links contain each movie ranking entry by year. Note that I did it a little differently almost every year.


2014 Rankings:

2015 Rankings:
2015 Movie Ranking: #50 to #36

VHS Tape Archives

I have a large number of VHS tapes at home, each chock full of things that I had decided to tape off of TV over the years. I recorded a lot of reality shows as well as some funny and memorable moments from sports broadcasts, the news, and talk shows. Just a lot of random crap really. Once I filled each tape up, I'd give it a silly name, put it in a shoe box, and stash it away. I stopped doing this once the Youtube era began, since you can find basically anything and everything online that you want to watch.

But still, a fun past time of mine is to go through these tapes and write down what is on each one. I have been doing this over the years and then transferring my results to this blog. Now that I look at this, I haven't done one of these in a LONG time (December 13, 2015 to be exact). I should get back on it!



Book Discussion

I read a LOT, but I actually don't have too many book discussion blog entries. This is something I'll have to remedy. The Game of Thrones discussions could possibly also fall under TV show discussion, but I'll leave them here so Stuff I've Been Reading doesn't have to feel so lonely.


TV Show Discussion

General thoughts on the various TV shows I watch. Occasionally I will go through my rotation of shows, watch one episode from each series - and then post a blog entry about my experience. That is what "Trip through my TV rotation" is all about. The "Season 1 Episode 1" thing is from a weekend where I decided to watch the first episode of several shows to see what I liked the best that I could add to my rotation. I also started writing recaps for the series 11.22.63 but for some reason stalled out after three episodes.
