My 6 Favorite Things of 2024
Welp, the world keeps spinning and we’ve reached the end of another year. It was a crap year full of mostly crap entertainment, and I’m coming up empty in terms of empathy and interest. Following the presidential election, I’m opting to be more cynical these days as a coping mechanism. This was also the year I took a back seat on posting all the time. This was a year.
In good news, I finally started my own original comic — Cover Bard — and am halfway done with the first issue. I need to make a big post about it. And the second volume of Gamer Girl & Vixen is complete and headed to the printers, to be distributed and available for sale early next year. So those were some good things that happened. We also had a ton of great TV shows, but not a lot of great movies or video games. It was a weird year.
But I like putting together a list like this, so join me after the jump for my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from 2024! And feel free to share your own in the comments below.

6 Things I Want to See in a Star Wars: Outlaws Sequel
We’re probably not going to get a Star Wars: Outlaws sequel. The game has reportedly underperformed, and Ubisoft is having all sorts of problems. The whole AAA gaming industry is having all sorts of problems, but I’m not here to talk about that. I finally got around to beating Outlaws this past weekend, so I’m here to just ramble about my thoughts on the game, while daydreaming about what a sequel might hold.
Video Game Rating: 7/10 – Good
I liked Star Wars: Outlaws, for the most part. The game delivered pretty much what I expected it to deliver, and it delivered it well enough for my liking. Granted, I’m not hard to impress. It’s not Grand Theft Auto: Star Wars, but then it never promised to be. It’s a solid 7/10 game set in the Star Wars universe, providing a different style of game from the Star Wars Jedi series. I bought the game for full price on launch day because I really needed a new and fun game at the time. But I would definitely recommend waiting for Star Wars: Outlaws to be heavily discounted on Black Friday before you buy and try it out.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts on the game and what I’d like to see in a sequel.
