Favorite things of 2013

Another year is over with each year I'm now noticing getting more and more nerdier than the last. I Don't know how it gets to this. This year was alot of cosplaying and traveling to foreign lands (Atlanta, Georgia) to continue wearing costumes while listening to more podcasts. On the downside, went to alot less concerts this years. This goddamn nerdiness is tearing me apart! Anyways, favorite things of 2013 just for shits and giggles.

Favorite Movie: Pacific Rim. Because it's Guillermo Del Toro writing and directing as opposed to producing (eat a duck, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark) and it was one of those movies where I really wanted to chest bump or high five someone so bad among the 3 or 4 times I saw it in theaters. That and it was one of those times where 3D and Imax quality sound all meshed to make me gladly fork over cash 3 or 4 times. Otherwise other favorite movies this year include but aren't limited to World's End, Anchorman 2 Evil Dead remake and This is the End. To the movie I wanted to see in theaters, but didn't get to (You're Next, Kings of Summer, Spectacular Now) I'll get to you sometime next year.

Favorite Game: If we're counting beyond the realm of video games, than Cards Against Humanity. Without a single doubt. Hours devoted to that game where one of my answers can be "For my next trick I will pull a discarded condom out of a dismembered hooker's torso!" And so far everytime me and my friends play it we go for at least two hours straight in the very least, otherwise three to four hours seems to be the average. If talking video game wise, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Bioshock Infinite and Last of Us, but it's just a fantastic feeling having a button where I can flip someone off and call them a dick shitter before ripping out my now dead enemies' cybernetic heart.

Favorite Album: If I start to sound hipster here than I'm sorry, but fuuuuck alot of albums I enjoyed this year. Trent Reznor basically went back in time to give his 80's Downward Spiral era self technology of 2013 to create Hesitation Marks. Dillinger Escape Plan continues blurring the line between jazz lounge band and absolute fucking chaos. Meanwhile Queens of the Stone Age released their first new album in 5 years. Even with all that, the thing I listened to the goddamn most this year is Kavinsky's Outrun. Part concept album (story of a teen who turns into a car that kills people), part 80's dance music, part film soundtrack for a film that never existed; but all in all the best music to drive or do anything to. The beats don't fall into the same patterns for each songs and isn't afraid to add things like electric guitar on some tracks or different vocalists like Havoc from Mobb Deep. Stupid good.

Favorite New Comic: Yay more comics! My eyes burn with word balloons, pecs and women with large busts that in all reality can't be held by such thin waists! Let's see, The Wake was fantastic with it's survival horror like feel. East of West was amazing in it's delivery of the apocalypse in the wild west, which mixes tones of Lovecraft and hell even some Judge Dredd. Honestly just typing that almost makes me want to change my choice on favoritest. Injustice extended far beyond the reachest of what the video game did and gave one of the best interpretations of Justice League I read in awhile. Even than I think my favoritest new series I read this year is Afterlife With Archie. It's such a goddamn offbeat concept of the "aw shucks" world of Archie getting plagued with zombies that it's hard not to love. Especially with so many winks and nods to Night of the Living Dead and Pet Sematary.

Favorite Show: I Tried Dr.Who this year. Anyway, I want to pick Arrow, despite so many ridiculously good shows this year (Regular Show, Adventure Time, Drunk History, Venture Bros., Game of fucking Thrones, Masters of Sex), but I still haven't finished Breaking Bad. All the more ridiculous when I watched season 1 and 2 back to back and loved it and own nearly the whole series on blu ray. No answer for this one.

I Don't know why I felt like typing this since it felt a bit overly pretentious, but I think my head was making the motions i should type this for the sake of typing.
