Random Rankings – Mario Kart 8 Courses
Despite telling myself there was no point in buying it again, I recently caved and wound up getting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch. Between the new characters, improved Battle Mode and all the included DLC, it’s easily the definitive version of the game. If you missed out on MK 8 the first time around, you have no excuse to not grab a copy.
As I replayed it, I was reminded of how good a lot of the race courses were, which got me to wondering which ones I liked the best. So, just for shits and giggles, I’ve ranked each and every course from Mario Kart 8, from my least favourite to my most favourite, with brief explanations as to why. Continue reading
Favourite Moments in Fiction #6 – Marge Leaves Homer (The Simpsons Movie)
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for The Simpsons Movie
In the 20+ years The Simpsons has been airing on TV, we’ve seen Homer and Marge have marital problems multiple times as early as the first season. It’s since become one of those recurring plot-lines that, nowadays, feels tired and hackneyed. But there’s something about the way this scene from the movie is done that averts that pitfall.

My VG Music Picks #45 – Calamari Inkantation (Splatoon)
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Splatoon
While I was never able to get into Splatoon‘s multiplayer (you know, the main draw of the game) as much as I would’ve liked, I don’t regret getting it, if only to help support a new IP with a tonne of potential. That, and the single-player was actually pretty good, with the final boss fight being the highlight. I didn’t know what to expect, but it certainly wasn’t an evil octopus DJ. Continue reading

Ten Worlds I Want in Kingdom Hearts Part 2
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the following:
The Kingdom Hearts series
Moana
Zootropolis
About a couple of years ago, I wrote a list of worlds I would like to see appear in the Kingdom Hearts series. Since that list, both Tangled and Big Hero 6 based worlds have been confirmed for Kingdom Hearts III, which clearly means Square Enix and Disney read my stuff and value my opinion. Or it’s just a coincidence.
Regardless, with a new trailer and a new world to be shown this weekend at the D23 Expo, I’ve decided to return to this topic with another ten Disney properties that I’d love to see adapted in a future title. Continue reading

The Entertainment Dome Episode 65 – Abort Unfunny Section

So listen on as I get to gush over the recent season finale of Doctor Who (there WILL be spoilers), get surprised with a new Fire Emblem Warriors trailer and James cuts out a section from the live recording because things got too real.
