Analyses of Movies, D&D Monsters, Books, TV, Games and Anime. In that order. Once a day, every day. *Sunday slot to be filled soon* Allow me to share my opinions of media with you in an attempt to seem smart and entertaining! Welcome to Jonah's Daily Rants!
There are tons of retro-style Indie games that I adore. 'Shovel Knight' and its numerous expansions rank among my favorite games of all time. 'Stardew Valley' is my go-to game for relaxing. 'Crawl' is one of my favorite multiplayer experiences of all time. And now, a new entry has been added to the echelon: a… Continue reading The Messenger: An Indie Darling You Need to Play (Game Night!)
I'm sure I'm the first one to make that joke. Everyone look at how original, creative, and not at all lazy I am! For those of you who weren't around last year, let me give you some context. I absolutely love the Hitman games. Hitman 2 was close to my 2018 game of the year,… Continue reading Hitman 2: Lost in New York (Game Night!)
Here's an indie game I bet you don't remember. Evoland was never a grand indie gem. It didn't take the world by storm, like Shovel Knight or The Messenger.

How did they make me more excited for this game than I already was? Two days ago, we finally got more details on the upcoming Pokemon games: 'Pokemon Sword' and 'Pokemon Shield' versions. It did give us what we expected, at least for the most part: new Pokemon, the new story-focused legendary Pokemon, and a… Continue reading Pokemon Direct 6/5/19: Two Good Boys (Game Night)
Recently, I picked up a certain game. It's a decently popular fighting game, one that will be on the floor for this year's EVO. As I played through it, I started to think. I couldn't help but think: "Hey! This story would be a lot better if it were an anime!" Naturally, this realization led to… Continue reading Anime That Should Be Video Games (Game Night!)
