With 2011 coming to a close (and still a number of reviews to catch up on) it’s time to look onward to 2012 and what it has in store (which hopefully includes those reviews I need to catch up on), and one of the first things I have planned for the new year are my annual “Yammy” awards!
I decided to do things a little differently this year, and will start with my video game awards (which will hopefully get done in the earlier parts of January) and do my movie awards a little later. Of course, the video game awards will be split in two, with the first “half” consisting of the majority of awards, and part two being a top ten countdown of my favorite games of 2011 (Game of the Year).
So there’s something to look forward to real soon…assuming anyone reads these blogs well enough to care. So stay tuned for the 2011 Yammy Awards!
"Don't sleep on it."
2010 saw many, many great video games (though it also had its share of disappointments). In fact, its gaming output furthered how awesome of a year in entertainment 2010 was (there were a lot of great movies as well, as well as the Bed Intruder Song). 2010 proved to be a standout year in interactive entertainment, and provided some of the very best games of the current console generation.
Keep in mind I can’t play every major game released (they can get really long!), so some fan-favorites might not appear here, but I hope to experience them when I get the chance. But Bayonetta isn’t here because I didn’t like it.
Anyway, with all of the great games released in 2010, there were some that stood above the rest. For me, these were those games (plus honorable mentions). Read more
My Yammie Awards continue with the best in gaming of 2010! Yes, it’s probably past award season by now, but I don’t care. As was the case with my movie awards, my award for best game will be presented in am upcoming “top ten countdown” post. This is a celebration of achievements such as “best visuals” and “best music.”
Without further ramblings, here are my Yammies for the video games of 2010! Read more
2010 proved to be another memorable year in movies for me. It seems the whole 2007-2010 timeframe served up a good number of films that rank amongst my personal favorites for that matter. But 2010 on its own was a standout year. There were a lot of good movies released in 2010, but only a few could rise above and beyond the competition to call themselves “the best movies of 2010.” The following are the films that most stood out for me.
And expect this list to be a bit more… colorful than you might be used to. Read more
It’s that time of year again, award season! It seems everyone and everything has some kind of awards for one thing or another, and it only makes sense (I guess) that I do so as well! Sure, I might be a little late at this (most people hop to this as soon as January starts), but a lot of thought (and procrastination) went into this. Keep in mind that this particular blog contains awards such as “Best Visuals” and “Best Music,” but I will be doing a the “best Movie” award as a separate top 10 post, and my video game awards will closely follow.
Be warned, some spoilers may (or may not) follow.
So without further ado, here are my Yammy awards for the movies of 2010! Read more
I bet you thought I forgot about my video game awards didn’t you? Well I didn’t, I was just slow at getting to them…sorry. You can thank all the other updates I’ve had since my movie awards as well as several yet-to-be-published ideas I have for future posts (like those oft-procrastinated Best of the Decade things….).

Happy Easter!
Here we go, finally, my top ten films of 2009! Read more
2009 had its fair share of bad movies, but it also brought us many great ones as well. Here are my awards for the best that movies had to offer in 2009 (Though keep in mind I am waiting to do the big “best film” award for its own post in a top ten countdown). Caution, some spoilers may follow. Read more
Sure we’re in late March now, so some might say I’m late into the best/worst of 2009 stuff by this point. But I don’t care, I’m going at my own pace. Plus I’ve been planning a few other things for this website and whatnot, which have made these big updates take a little longer. And besides, the Oscars themselves waited until March so why can’t I wait a little longer? Read more
*Along with my Yammie Awards (coming soon), I figured this year I would also do some pro-wrestling awards! Keep in mind that this is pretty much just based on WWE wrestling, since I haven’t seen as many matches from Japanese or independent wrestling organizations as I would like to, I can’t honestly include them. Hopefully next time.* Read more
