Mass Effect is one of my favorite games and The Citadel is one of the most iconic areas I've ever experienced in a video game. The sights, the sounds, the grandeur, its an intoxicating cocktail of incredible worldbuilding and naturally…

When I was young I wanted to be an author. This was back when I had no idea the kind of hard work and creativity that is needed for that kind of a life. Once I became more informed on the subject, I decided that a life of experiencing other people's creativity (movies, television, books, video games) is more in line with my lazy outlook on life.
However, I never lost my love for writing. This coupled with my ability to go on rambling diatribes on subjects that most people don't find very important made me realize that I could be a reviewer! (just not a professional one with a deadline or anything). Then I figured, I like to ramble. Let me write about literally whatever pops in my head. That is the tale of how this blog came to be. Riveting stuff.
Reviewing the Mass Effect Prologue
Hi everybody, you are probably used to me writing all about The X-Files and analyzing it exhaustively. But much like I've showcased about Fox Mulder in my various Mulder rankings, my personal character development is similarly nuanced! Like did you…

Hey everyone, for those of you who enjoy my X-Files posts, maybe you're into other 90's era television? If that's the case, check out my podcast Pointless Rewind where we stray into talking about Seinfeld in our first A Pod…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#10 – Tooms)
Tooms is a hell of an episode. Aesthetically, it could be plopped into any other season and not feel out of place. It nails Mulder's characterization from start to finish, combining his dogged pursuit of Eugene Tooms with some genuinely…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#11 – Young at Heart)
We're here at #11 in my Season 1 episode rankings of Mulder's impact and Young at Heart somehow ended up here. I could make a joke about how this episode figured out how to reverse the crappiness process and thus…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#12 – Gender Bender)
Gender Bender comes in at #12 in my Season 1 episode rankings of Mulder's impact and I'm always left bewildered at how strange it is. Nothing about the actual story or plot engages me, the pacing is hit or miss,…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#13 – Squeeze)
Squeeze comes in at number 13 in my rankings of Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files. This is an important milestone, both in the show's run and in these rankings. For these rankings, it marks the point where I've finished…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#14 – Miracle Man)
Next up in my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder's impact in Season 1 of The X-Files, we've arrived at #14. Miracle Man is a weird episode for Mulder. On one hand, his impact on the main plot is negligible like so many…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#15 – Shadows)
Next up in my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files, Shadows slides its way in at #15. I always knew it was going to be in the middle of the pack seeing as it's about as milquetoast…

Ranking Mulder in The X-Files Season One (#16 – Ghost in the Machine)
I’m continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we’ve arrived at #16. When I think of Ghost in the Machine, I think of pure B-movie schlock. It's got a hilariously retro synth score, painfully outdated…
