Portal 2
One of my favorite games
ever. It means a lot to me,
and is what gave me
the confidence to pursue
Computer Science and
Video Game Development.
It's a part of me,
and I can't imagine a
life without this game.
And also introduced me
to my soulmate Wheatley.
Never getting rid of him now!
Moon Remix RPG
A cool and weird game
I've fallen in love with.
It has a unique art style,
and a story I want to hear.
It's unconventional and
makes me appreciate huge,
zany casts even more.
This is a game that changed
me, at least a little bit.
Open the door with
all your love.
Medievil
The tale of a knight who
forged his resume. I love it!
The dark humor, the aesthetic,
and of course, lovable Dan.
He's one of my favorite
characters ever, and I
consider him one of my muses.
Skeleton Knight that's funny
and also has a lot of
potential. How can he NOT be!?
Gurren Lagann
If I had to pick one anime as
the best, it would
be this one. It has
action, robots, shouting,
and a story that has me
keep coming back to hear it
again and again. The sky
isn't the limit, and humanity
will take the smallest chance
for our dreams. It makes me
never want to give up either.
Row row fight tha powah!
The Promised
Neverland
The manga that made me
obsessed with masterminds and
convoluted plans/plots.
Norman is my favorite
character, and I heavily
relate to him. It feels nice
to have a character you
can look at and think
"we're one in the same".
This has always been a
comforting media to me.
FLCL
An anime made for lonely kids.
It's a pretty zany and unusual,
but it has its intense and
emotional moments too. WebMD
what do when robot come out
my head? My first watch
had me pretty distracted
doing late minute work, but
whenever I look at it again...
I get Naota. I really do.

The Dream Machine
I'm so incredibly lucky I got
to play this. I found out
that the first two chapter of
this game were free (for a bit).
and downloaded just for the
heck of it. Inside was a game
full of insane talent, and one
of my favorite arcs in a
protagonist ever. The ending is
somber, but it's still
very great.
Lies of P
Baby's First Soulslike game!
I'll be totally real with you
I only got it because P is hot.
Seriously. But because I love P,
I feel much more determined to
get past obstacles in-game. I'm
not used to death being a
necessary part of progress, but
it's a great learning
experience!
Mario & Luigi
Partners in Time
My first ever RPG, and my
favorite Mario & Luigi game.
I know plenty of people
rag on it, but I honestly
think it's the best one.
I haven't finished the game.
But I'll get there one day.
This game is like a baton
pass across a hundred
different selves.
System Shock
I am insane about this game.
I would have put it in Favorite
Media if I had any merch, but
unfortunately, I don't. This
game has helped me stay
sane sometimes, with the
carnage and wires. I'm
obsessed with the first
and second installment.
It's another game I can't stop
coming back to.
Bioshock
This is the first FPS I ever
gave a shot. I don't really
remember why, but I know it's
my brother's favorite game
ever. That's the real reason
I like it so much, even if
I also find its themes and
story cool too. I think my
favorite is Bioshock 1,
and that's just cuz it has
the most stuff I like.
They're all uniquely good!
The Cat Lady
The Cat lady is an incredibly
powerful game, full of grunge,
horror, and a great soundtrack.
I really love the songs, and
they're just my kind of style.
The best ending takes effort,
and Chapter 3 has stuck with me.
We made it through the night
together, Susan. Even when
you feel so alone, there's
something to hold your hand.

The Umbrella Academy
One of the many medias that
changed my life! I will be
honest, I watched the show
first, but I love them both.
The dark humor falls right
in line with me, and Five's
various periods of butchery
were a delight. It also
made me really realize my
connection with masculinity,
in some mysterious way.
The Sandman
An experience you won't get
anywhere else. I honestly can't
think of a comic that does it
like The Sandman. I have a few
favorite issues, but what hooked
me on it was 24 Hours. It's
the issue that tests if you'll
really stick around or not.
My favorite characters are
Cain and Abel + Mervyn!
I Am the Messenger
The only book I actually read
from my Highschool's library.
I picked it up because of
this specific cover, and I
I closed it with a new
perspective on my life. The
last line stuck with me, and I
hope to buy a copy with this
specific cover one day.
It's unique and I love it.
Don Quixote
Hispanic Literature's most
iconic entry. I haven't finished
the damn thing, but I'm still
putting it up here. It's a
parody of tales about knights,
and the protagonist is a
nutcase who read one too many
of them. Sometimes I feel
PRETTY bad for Don Quixote,
but it's also funny. I like
how it acts as a satire.
Scoob and Shag
This is an edgelord cartoon
fan's sweetest dream. I am that
fan. Scoob and Shag is like
horror and action anime spliced
together, along with your
favorite cartoon characters let
loose in a cutthroat world.
Everyone is on the table! Which is
a lot deadlier than you think.

Smiskis and Me:
Smiskis are little guys who hang out in your home, and I find a great comfort in them. They're so simple, and yet they do their best at whatever goal they have in front of them. I really love how they look, and I can relate to their very specific vibe. Frequently I find myself feeling exactly how they look, whatever that means. It's like how Pikmin have their little tasks and Dandori. I think Smiskis remind me of Dandori very much. I also really like how they all have their own little personalities. All Smiskis featured here are in my home!
Hunting High
and Low
This is where my site name
comes from! a-ha as a whole
has helped me keep going,
but this is the album that
introduced me to them. If
I had to listen to one
album for the rest of my
life, it's this one.
Raoul and The
Kings of Spain
The Spanish influences and
calm yet impactful sounds for
this album really struck
a chord with me. I've
listened to nearly every song
on this album on repeat.
Critics hated it apparently,
which just goes to show
critics are lame as fuck.
Hot Fuss
The album that reminds me
of highschool... Mostly just
the bus rides, honestly. Hot
Fuss holds a special place
in my heart regardless. It's
what made me realize albums
are worth listening to in
their entirety. On Top
is one of my favorite songs
from this album.
Images and Words
I started listening to this album
because I wanted to confidently
say I listened to metal. I am now
a changed man. Learning to Live
has to be one of the best songs
ever, and when times get tough, I
usually start to play it. Only
one song is under 4 minutes long,
and I like it that way.
Pornography
Genuinely, this album is why
I primarily listen to this
music now. And yes, I did
do it because the album is
titled Pornography.
You are literally insane
if you WOULDN'T check out
an album tilted that. I will
always be grateful to my
musical companion Porno for
making me listen to The Cure.
