"If you want to direct, watch things." -Kenneth Branagh, Pt. III

Ten years ago I gave myself the challenge of watching 52 films in 52 weeks. I called it, "If you want to direct, watch things." My goal was to learn what I liked, why, and to encourage myself to write.

I exceeded my objective and ended my year with 150 films. I learned a little more about myself and what I could accomplish.

Over the years, I have lost motivation for my personal wellbeing. I've been overworked, stressed, depressed, unable to focus - but I'm feeling better now.

So, now I want to do it again. I want to push myself, challenge myself... because I can, because I'm up to it.

Objective: Watch 150 films/television shows. Goal: To know I can put my mind to something and accomplish it. Movie | Short Film | Television Show | Re-watch

My Top 24 Fighting Games (that aren't Guilty Gear):

All this talk of new fighting games and such has got me to thinking about the future and the past... so here’s my list.

1.(The top is obviously reserved for Guilty Gear) 2.Samurai Showdown Series (V Special and VI are both great, but III has a special place in my heart) 3.Soul Calibur Series (torn between V and VI now, but Soul Edge was also great) 4.Dissidia Final Fantasy (012 and NT for sure, Ehrgeiz for laughs) 5.Mortal Kombat Series (9 and X are the best, hands down, but the Injustice DC series too, MKTrilogy for nostalgia) 6.BlazBlue Series (Central Fiction, Chronophantasma Extend, and Crosstag are mandatory) 7.Darkstalkers/Vampire Series (Vampire Savior, and Chaos Tower, as well as the Collection/Resurrection) 8.Fate/Unlimited Codes (or Grand Order Apocrypha, if they ever make a sequel) 9.Melty Blood/Under Night In-Birth Series (anything Nasu-verse really) 10.The Last Blade Series (Bakumatsu Romance Series) 11.Gundam Battle Assault 2 (Gundam Versus is nice, but Assault is more fun) 12.Virtua-On Series 13.Dragonball FighterZ (and by extension Tenkaichi Budokai 3) 14.Tekken Series (Tekken 3, Tekken Tag 2, Tekken 7 maybe) 15.Bloody Roar Series (Beastorizer) 16.Garou/Fatal Fury Series (Capcom VS SNK 2 and King of Fighters XIV) 17.Dead or Alive Series (Virtua Fighter by extension) 18.Primal Rage (and by extension Killer Instinct) 19.Skullgirls Series (Arcana Heart by extension for laughs) 20.Battle Arena Toshinden Series 21.Warzard/Red Earth/Cyberbots 22.Spectral Souls vs Generation of Chaos 23.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters (SNES and Genesis classic) 24.Street Fighter Alpha Anthology (a classic no matter how much I've hated Capcom, 3rd Strike by extension) 25.Marvel VS Capcom Series (particularly when people aren't playing it seriously and just for fun)

This list prioritizes games with “swords” in them, because I’m a sword-fighter gamer, so no arguments about “why?” I chose the order!  I prefer swordsmanship to fists... always have.
