My 6 Favorite Things of 2023
Who could imagine that the end of another year has come. I turned 40 this year, and life is what it is. My job got a lot busier, my bank account got a lot smaller, and I’ve got a few different comic projects in the works! More on that later. For now, it’s time to celebrate my favorite pop culture media from the past year.
As always, I don’t listen to music, so I don’t have any favorite songs from the year. Mostly I’m here to talk about video games, movies, TV show and comics, my favorite hobbies! I’ve thrown in a couple of other entries to get up to six, because a man has a theme.
So join me after the jump for my favorite bits from pop culture in the past year. And feel free to share your own favorite things from the past year in the comments below!

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Blue Eye Samurai
There are a ton of great TV shows in the world today. The amount of content is so overwhelming that one struggles to find time to watch it all. It doesn’t help that streaming services like Netflix do jack all to actually advertise these shows. One must turn to the world wide web to get some good word of mouth. Which is how I found the very excellent Blue Eye Samurai!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
Netflix just keeps making shows, putting them on their service and then just moving on with their lives. But enough people and websites mentioned how good this show was, so I gave it a try and loved it! Not that you need new things to watch, but Blue Eye Samurai is worth your time. And Netflix has already renewed it for season two, so huzzahs all around!
Join me after the jump for my thoughts and review of the first season of Blue Eye Samurai. Expect LIGHT SPOILERS for the show. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

6 Things I Want to See in a Third Star Wars Jedi Game
I finally beat Star Wars Jedi: Survivor this past weekend, and the game was mostly a lightsaber parts collection game for me. I love building my own lightsaber, especially when I’m provided with a catalogue of existing parts that I can mix and match. My mental design game isn’t so great as to design one from scratch, but when I’ve got parts? You best believe I’m gonna make something fun and cherish it greatly!
Anyway, what were we talking about?
The Star Wars Jedi games are fun. You’re a largely generic Jedi named Cal Kestis as he carves his way through Stormtroopers and leftover battle droids, set about a decade before A New Hope. He’s got his own cast of characters, hanging out on their own planets, in largely self-contained adventures. They’re pretty fun, but in my opinion, nothing remarkable. They’re also popular enough to warrant a threequel, and based on what I just played, I have some story ideas and other things I’d like to see in a third installment of this series.
So join me after the jump for six things I want to see in our next Cal Kestis adventure. Expect SOME SPOILERS for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as I cobble this list together. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams in the comments below.

I’ve been writing this blog for a very long time. I did a search of Grand Theft Auto articles to see if I’d already done this list, and it turns out I started writing this blog even before Grand Theft Auto V came out more than a decade ago! Holy cow! Anyway, I found out that I hadn’t done this list specifically! We got the GTA VI teaser trailer yesterday, so let’s celebrate!
Between the new trailer and some earlier leaks, we already know a bit about the game. It’s a return to Vice City, the Miami stand-in. And we’ve got the first ever female protagonist for a mainstream GTA game. I really wanted that, so awesome! Though, personally, I had no interest in returning to Vice City. I wouldn’t mind a new location outside of Vice City, Los Santos or Liberty City. Heck, I’d even take a game in Las Venturas, the Las Vegas stand-in. But hey, I’m very flexible and I’m sure the setting will be awesome!
Join me after the jump for what I’d like to see in Grand Theft Auto VI, from gameplay elements to open world possibilities. And feel free to share your own game hopes and dreams in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entry6 Characters Who Are Ice Cream
As I relax in my apartment and look outside my window today, it’s started snowing for reals. This is the first day of real snowfall and even a little accumulation. It sucks. Nobody likes the snow. I don’t mind the cold when I’m inside, because I can just bundle up. But man, that snow.
And what better way to celebrate the beginning of winter than with ice cream!
Makes some kind of sense to me! Because otherwise, after more than a decade of doing Lists of Six every single week, I’m just running out of ideas, man! I did snow and ice-based comic book characters years ago! And I’ve done two different snowmen lists. I’m not a machine! But everybody loves ice cream…and yet there are surprisingly few ice cream-based fictional characters. Or, at least, they’re very hard to Google unless you know where to begin.
And we’ll begin right here! Join me after the jump for the tastiest pop culture characters who are ice cream in one way or another!
