5 Moments in Video Games That Nearly Made Me Quit
I’m fairly level-headed when it comes to video games, and not the type of person to rage quit and cause property damage. There are a few scenarios where I get close, and I’d love to share these pain points with you!
Hi. You might remember me from the After The Hype podcast. I talk sometimes on that, and am responsible for the video content you see. You might also notice that I bring up video games often on our WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DOING segment of the show.
If you’re thinking, “hey, this guy is a gamer,” you’d be right, except I’m not THAT type of gamer. I don’t dox anyone or threaten lives or participate in those subreddits. I do occasionally feel a sense of “black out” rage when it comes to gaming, but they’re very specific circumstances and almost always involve some kind of mechanic in the game that is just too much for me. There are also a few instances in which the content itself is a bit much for my taste, stepping over a very subjective line that just ruins the whole experience for me.
You’re probably thinking at this point, “wow, these games aren’t that difficult,” or “jeez, what a little whiny snowflake.” That’s perfectly fine. It’s also perfectly fine for me to murder you in my mind over and over again, so maybe let’s be on our merry way and check out the FIVE MOMENTS IN VIDEO GAMES THAT NEARLY MADE ME QUIT!

2016 Tournament of Champions
Top tens are not my favorite sort of lists really. It’s all a matter of bias and I always feel something is being left out. Even if the writer does a honorable mentions section. For my best of 2016 I decided to try and show my thought process / bias in this Tournament of Champions. Give everyone a chance to really get mad at me.
In the process I pitted some films against each other who otherwise should never be. I have to pause, consider details, and in the end go with the movie that brought me the most joy and or moments of thought.
For example Rogue One beating out The VVitch. Two movies I thoroughly enjoyed for very different reasons. The VVitch being such a visceral film I had a long hesitation but Star Wars wins when Star Wars is done right.
That left Hell Or High Water against The Handmaiden. Two power house films about love, loss, entrapment, desperation, and good old fashioned capers. It’s weird to think about these films being so similar, in such drastically different settings, culturally and locality. But there they were, two desperate women fighting with two desperate men.
In the end I had to go with Hell Or High Water because of my own current cultural desperation. Hell or High Water shows me the world in which Trump became president and it humbles my liberal feminist heart a little. Just a little. Not too much. #dembabyblueeyes
So my cultural bias chooses Hell Or High Water as the best film of 2016.
I’m a Filmmaker, Set Decorator and Rat lover. So I like telling stories, making things pretty and small fuzzy animals. My life in a nutshell.

Least-Worst Comic Book Movies of 2016
Hey everyone! Ryan here, emerging from the Comic Corner to bring you 2016’s TOP 7 LEAST-WORST COMIC BOOK MOVIES.
To keep it from being any longer, I only included the live action theatrical releases, so no mention of Batman: The Killing Joke on this list. They were easy to rank at the top, but the rest were engaged in a nosedive race to the bottom.
I gave it my best shot anyway, enjoy!

Episode #171 – The Night Before
Did you have a good holiday? I bet it wasn’t as crazy as the one that Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, and Anthony Mackie experienced in THE NIGHT BEFORE. Bet it didn’t involve a weed-dispensing Michael Shannon, and we’re willing to bet it didn’t involve taking a miniature train through a light tunnel to attend the biggest party of the year. It was that crazy? Oh. Well. Cheers. Special guest Erik Steffens joins us for this wild and crazy episode!
