Most years I dedicate separate posts to my year end round up, but I’m going to ditch that for a slightly more holistic post this year – mainly because, and I’m being totally honest here - I didn’t watch nearly enough TV or play enough video games to separate them into their own lists this …
toatali’s best films of 2021
It’s been a good year at the cinema – following the stall of 2020, when films found themselves delayed by the pandemic, this year truly feels like a revival. Being able to watch films on the big screen again is a welcome relief, but it does bring back one annoying thing – country-specific film release …
toatali’s best games of 2021
I was finally in the position earlier this year to get my hands on a PS5, finally making me a true "next-gen" gamer. Only one game exclusive to that console actually ended up making my list though – mostly I used it to play old PS4 games or surf Netflix. Instead, the Switch made a …
toatali’s best TV shows of the decade
As the 2010s come to a close, I too decide to hop on the bandwagon of judging which of its many creations are allowed to be remembered. The rules are simple; only shows which started their run in 2010 or later qualify for this list (there’s one cheat, but the first season is short and …
toatali’s best games of 2018
And finally, we come to the games. I’m going to be brutally honest here; I don’t think this was a particularly great year for games. When I look back at the games I played the most, they were almost all either ports or games that came out a while ago. I finally started playing the …

toatali’s best TV show of 2018
Well, it's that time of year again - where my wallet runs low, I begrudgingly start wearing a scarf, and I have to make some decisions about what things I want to recommend to an audience of about ten or so people. In terms of TV, my interest and expertise tends to lie in the …
Top 7 Films of 2017
2017 continues to prove itself excellent as we move into the realm of cinema; I've seen about 50 films this year, so not everything, but not a shabby amount either, and there's a lot to recommend. You might notice that this list is in alphabetical order; that's because I was, in fact, having such a …
Top 5 TV Shows of 2017
It's December, which means it's the season to reflect on the year and assign an arbitrary number to the things you liked over the past 12 months. This year, I'm splitting up my lists in order to tantalise my readers, and give me more things to post this month. (I'm still working on my review …
