Well another year has come and gone with some amazing adventures and memorable experiences! This part one of the years end review which I will list out all of the adventures I have been on this year. Every video game played, every movie enjoyed, every trip to somewhere new, and every musical adventure (song and album). Tomorrow's post will be the actual list but I wanted to write today and I figured to split up the post into 2 different sections with one as a general overview and one with the full list. So with all of that out of the way, let's see what adventures I went on this year!
MOVIES!
Black Panther- Well done but basic MCU film with HUGE fanfare.
A Wrinkle in Time- One of the worst films I've ever seen.
Avengers: Infinity War- One of the biggest films of all time and a big step for the MCU.
Deadpool 2- Another fun and inventive yet crude outing for the Merc with a Mouth.
Solo: A Star Wars Story- The 2nd anthology film for the Star Wars franchise, and another flop.
Incredibles 2- A well worth it 14 year wait.
Ant-Man and the Wasp- The pallet cleanser for the MCU.
Venom- A pleasant surprise of a super villain film.
Bohemian Rhapsody- One of the best biopics I have seen.
Ralph Breaks the Internet- The start of a new era for Disney films, and not a promising one.
Robin Hood- Cheesy, Ridiculous, Odd, Quirky, and extremely fun!
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse- A great animated film with a few bugs.
Total: 12
I will see Aquaman and Mary Poppins returns after the post but I will update it if need be.
VIDEO GAMES!
Monster Hunter: World- A much better Monster Hunter experience than handheld.
Shadow of the Colossus- A short but great remaster of a classic game.
Dragon Quest Builders- A fun for a while sandbox game with a Dragon Quest skin.
Kirby Star Allies- It's an easy and poorly controlled Kirby game.
God of War- An amazing visual and storytelling treat.
Nintendo Labo- One of the most unique video game experiences ever.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze- A fantastic port and platformer.
Elder Scrolls Online: Somerset- A hint of things to come for the Fallout franchise.
Fornite (Switch)- I don't get the big fuss, but I do get the big fuss.
Mario Tennis Aces- A promising start that falls flat.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker- A great game! for about 20 minutes.
Octopath Traveller- An inventive yet old school and soon to be classic RPG.
Spider-Man- The best telling of Spider-Man outside of the comics.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey- Assassin's Creed + Ancient Greece = Gold!
Red Dead Redemption 2- A fantastic game that is just too slow for me.
Fallout 76- An inventive game that was poorly executed.
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee- Testing the bright future of Pokemon on Switch.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate- The ultimate party video game.
Total: 18
ALBUMS!
Blue Madonna by Borns- The 2nd album of one of my new favorite artists.
Man of the Woods by Justin Timberlake- A lackluster album.
? by XXXtentacion- I don't get the fanfare for this horrible person.
Boarding House Reach by Jack White- One of the weirdest albums of the year.
Dirty Computer- by Janelle Monae- A promising album for the future of pop.

Vaxis Act 1: The Unheavenly Creatures by Coheed and Cambria- their return to form!
Trench by Twenty One Pilots- a heavily obscured concept album.
Masters of the Sun vol. 1 by Black Eyed Peas- Back to 3 yet back to rap.
