Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2026
~1. Battlefield 6 (PS5)
An incredibly short campaign that has nothing going for it story wise makes this a dull experience for 4.5 hours. The most fun I had was going through New York City because of such a well known area to me.

5. THPS 4 (PS2)
~6. Earthbound (SNES)*
7. Kaze & the Wild Masks (XSX)
One of my favourite game series that is filled with wonderful humour and a combat system that I fell in love with. Music turns this game into a masterpiece worth playing.
Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025
8. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC)*
~9. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 (PC)
10. Tyrian (PC)
Had a much better time with 3+4 over the previous remake even though it is sad to see the open world of THPS4 be taken away and replaced with the 2 min. timer format.

12. A Hat in Time (PC)
~13. Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES)
14. Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
This takes everything the first game does and makes it better with two agile characters, improved level design and it still has an amazing soundtrack.
It’s the last Jeopardy stream of the year! Will I get my ass kicked? Will I reign supreme? Who am I even playing against? All these questions (and many more) will be answered tonight!
See you tonight at 8PM! 🩵
Thanks as always to @nyvgf.bsky.social for all the hard work he puts in as game master!

23. Gylt (PS4)
24. A Short Hike (PC)
~25. Donkey Kong 64 (N64)
Controls and the insane amount of collectibles on top of levels that I didn't enjoy at all make this game an awful experience and I was so glad when it was over.

10. F1 (2025)#
~11. Inception (2010)
12. School of Rock (2003)*
Did not really get into the film's plot which made it hard to enjoy even though it had a great supporting soundtrack. The ending was controversial but didn't matter to me.
Ranking of Video Games Beat in 2025
8. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC)
~9. Tyrian (PC)
10. Gris (PC)
A complete Shmup that has multiple levels and acts to go through with intense boss fights. The game has tons of upgrades to make the playing experience unique on every playthrough.

6. Kaze and the Wild Masks (XSX)
~7. Mega Man X (SNES)
8. Left 4 Dead 2 (PC)*
I really liked the additions to the X series and the bosses and sub weapons were great throughout the game and led to an intense final few stages to try and beat.
It’s trivia night tonight, friends!
Our good pal @nyvgf.bsky.social has once again put together a masterful 3 boards for Jeopardy! and arranged for some new ✨mystery✨ contestants, so see you at 8pm ET for my inevitable rage-causing lack of knowing obvious answers. 😁

~9. Battle for Bikini Bottom (GCN)
10. A Hat in Time (PC)
Really nostalgic and similar to SpongeBob episodes makes this game fairly enjoyable through all the different levels that touch upon various areas shown in the show.

~4. Caught Stealing (2025)#
5. Superman (2025)#
Filled with 90s NYC nostalgia made this have a little extra for me, the comedy breaks up the serious incredibly well to give a change of pace without lessening anything.
tonight we’re back with this month’s Jeopardy, lovingly put together by our very own @NYVGF. The catch? I never know who I’m playing against.
See you at 8 PM!

9. A Hat Time (PC)
~10. Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
11. Hunie Pop 2 (PC)
A great platformer that really knew a perfect balance of challenge & skill with a great dynamic of Diddy and Donkey playing differently to change how you take on levels.
Ranking of Movies watched in 2025
1. Major League (1989)*
~2. Weapons (2025)#
3. Empire Records (1995)
A unique take on a Thriller/Horror film really grabbed my attention and kept it throughout with the use of different POV chapters to tell the story all leading to the finale.
Ranking of Movies watched in 2025
4. Clerk (2021)
~5. The Naked Gun (2025)#
6. Inglourious Basterds (2009)*
This reimagining of the original movies knew exactly what to do to bring Naked Gun to a modern audience with a great casting in Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson to take over.

1. Balatro (PC)
~2. Celeste (PC)
3. Hades (PC)
An incredible platformer that shares a great message to the player while going through increasingly tough levels that have great aesthetic and moving mechanics for an all time game.

17. Pokemon Crystal (GBC)
~18. Gylt (PS4)
19. A Short Hike (PC)
There wasn't really a lot to do in this game that felt rewarding as it went on. An easily forgettable semi stealth experience with a story that was just okay in the end.
Ranking of Movies watched in 2025
2. Empire Records (1995)
~3. Superman (2025)#
4. Clerk (2021)
A great Superhero movie with plenty of good action scenes and a pacing that works very well. Loved that they didn't have an origin story bloat the start and just went right into it.
Ranking of Movies watched in 2025
5. Palm Springs (2020)
~6. F1 (2025)#
7. School of Rock (2003)*
With rock bottom expectations comes an okay racing movie that is not super realistic and has a love subplot that is completely unnecessary but it's fun to see F1 get the spotlight.

I really got into F1 over the last couple years and I feel like I should try to watch a MotoGP race one of these days because I feel like they can be just as exciting as this post just reminded me of that.

An absolutely stunning game to play with a serene soundtrack and puzzles that are appropriately difficult using different power ups do not get repetitive or annoying.
