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!
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!)
The Spring season of anime is officially over. With it, the hugely disappointing One Punch Man season two is finally done letting us down! So, to put my mind to rest, I want to dissect the other main character of the season: Genos. Because let's be real: Saitama may as well not even been there… Continue reading Genos: The Demon Cyborg (The Mind of a Character)
Written By: William Goldman Published By: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Published: 1973 Pages: 493 Link to Purchase (Amazon) Let's be real: we've all seen The Princess Bride movie. It's one of the best films of all time in every way! It holds up to this day, and it will for years to come! But many people… Continue reading The Princess Bride: The Best Book You’ve Ever Watched (How’s This Book?)
Behold the legacy of Gulthias the vampire: plants with a taste for blood. Compared to many monsters in this book, Blights aren't the most creative in terms of design.

Their lore is pretty neat, their stats are perfect for first level parties, and putting them to use… Continue reading Blights: Nature’s Killing Machines (Best of the Bestiary)

I've grown up with this series, and I still love it to this day. Even if, you know, the… Continue reading Which Was the Best X-Men Movie? (Movie Monday)
Okay. Let's get this out of the way. The dialogue changes in the Netflix dub, specifically those that shift away from any gay character possibilities, don't make any sense. It does subtract a lot of the depth from some of the later character moments. I have no idea why this was changed, but it happened.… Continue reading Netflix’s Neon Genisis Evangelion: Almost Worthy of My Grace
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. But I always had a nostalgic soft spot for it. And I believe I mentioned earlier this week that I've been on a trip through memory… Continue reading Evoland: A Good Idea Gone to Waste (Game Night!)
