Gaming Goals of 2019

I approach this annual blog post with a heavy heart, but also renewed hope.  I'm only slightly less optimistic of my video game playing than I was at this time last year.   

The Five Greatest Usopp Moments in One Piece

One Piece is my favorite manga of all time, and sometimes I'm overcome with emotion re-reading some of its chapters from more than ten years ago.  Seriously.  Not joking about that.  Today, let's talk about one of One Piece's heroes, Usopp the liar.

GOT 'IM - OFF

So. A video game review.  I haven't done one of these in... years?

Sequential Art - Teens Punching Teens

Monkey D. Luffy, Punching

I read a frankly terrifying amount of comics and manga (mostly the latter), but I haven't written about either in awhile.  For today's blog post I'm reviving an old gimmick.

Hottest Pokémon Characters

I love colorful, wholesome entertainment.  Especially in video games, like Dragon Quest, Super Sentai, and Pokémon.  I also love interpreting those wholesome things like a dirty old man.  

Sollosi's Favorite Agatha Christie Books

Agatha Christie is the most popular author in the history of fiction, and I've been reading her books for about twenty years.  So of course I have a mental ranking of her works.  

SUPER HERO TIME! Gingaman!

I'll have a review for all the Sentai I've watched up eventually, I promise.  Today is 1998's galactic fantasy story (?), Gingaman!   

The Retro Encounter Podcast

The biggest culprit for Sollosi's Blog Hiatus of 2015-2018 is Retro Encounter, a podcast that I help produce for RPGFan.com.  Let's talk about it.

Sollosi's Favorite Pokémon

Continuing my 2018 blog theme of "wow, how come I haven't written about this series before?," I'm going to do a piece on Pokémon.  I have one Pokémon post on this blog, and it's from January 2013.  Been awhile. 

A Good Mega Man Is Hard to Find

I probably ought to title this post "Sollosi's Favorite Mega Man Games" but I really couldn't resist the wordplay this time. Shoutout to Mark T for helping to inspire it.

Top Ten Kamen Rider Series

It's time for me to finally talk about Kamen Rider on this blog.  Rider... HENSHIN!

Sollosi's Favorite Dragon Quest Games

In my fifth and final Dragon Quest post of the year (probably), I review, rate, and rank the first nine main-series Dragon Quest titles.  You probably knew this was coming.  And probably can guess the top two.

Sollosi's Favorite Dragon Quest Villains

Posting a few days later than planned, but I'm back on my Dragon Quest bullshit.  This time it's to talk about my favorite villains of the series.  Slimes these are not.

Sollosi's Favorite Dragon Quest Companions

The real Dragon Quest is the friends you meet along the way.  This week's Dragon Quest blog post is all about the party members who AREN'T the hero and AREN'T a monster.  A few of the Dragon Quest IV goofballs above might appear.

Sollosi's Favorite Dragon Quest Monsters

For my second Dragon Quest blog post of the summer, I'm going to talk about my favorite monster designs in the series.  *slurp*

Sollosi's Favorite Dragon Quest Heroes

I'd like to talk about Dragon Quest. For about three months straight. I'll explain after the jump.

Sollosi's Favorite Zelda Games

I've played ten video games in the Legend of Zelda series, with the most recent of those finished a few days ago.  Yes, it's that time again. 

Switch Trials

I want to write about the Switch.  Today (March 3rd, 2018) marks the one-year anniversary of Nintendo's dream machine, and I, perhaps unsurprisingly, have thoughts.

Top Twenty Super Sentai Series

Since this has basically become a Sentai blog over the past two years, I've decided to go all-in and write my most ambitious Sentai piece yet.  Earlier this month I finished my twentieth Sentai series to completion, and today I'm ranking all of them. 

Sollosi's Favorite Monsters of Monster Hunter

Hello!  It's 2018.  I've been extremely busy, but I felt inspired to update the old blog due to developments in the world of Monster Hunter.  Monster Hunter World, that is.
